AIR MAIL BIDS
To GET CLOSE
SCRUTINY
Farley Sees Saving As As
Submit Offers Lower
Than Old Schedules
BY International News Service

Officials today began what
they termed a "fine tooth comb"
scrutiny Of the air mail bids re.
ceived to replace the contracts
Of commercial companies can
celled by Postmaster General Far.
ley last February. Mr.. Farley
said:
"AII bids are being carefully
analyzed by air mail officials
of the Post Office Department,
the aerOnautics branch of the
Commerce Department, the
Post Office Department sOlici'
tor, and . special assistant
attorney general.
Before any contract Is
awarded, it will be determined
whether the bids were respOn-
sive to the advertisements, the
responsibility Of the bidders,
and the adequacy Of the equip
ment offered. 1t will be sew
eral days before the contracts
are awarded"
As Bids In
There were As bids submitted
for the II routes, and all bids
were at a lower rate than was
paid for the same routes and the
same service under the annulled
contracts. Mr.. Farley said:
"The competition appeared to
be keen and bona fide. A con-
siderable saving to the Govern.
ment is assured by these bids"
Among the bidders were six Of
the air transport companies whose
contracts were nullified by Mr..
Farley, and who bid under new
corporate names. Whether they
have come into the picture with
"clean hands" is one Of the things
to be determined, Mr.. Farley said.
Bids Analysed
Analysis Of the bids from six
of the companies whose con-
tracts were cancelled showed the
following reorganizations:
United Air Lines succeed Boe-
ing Air Transport, National Air
Transport, Pacific Air Trans
port, and Varney Air Lines.
American Air Lines succeed
American Always.
T. w. A. succeeds Transcon-
tinental and Western Air Ex-
