violent demonstrations that forced out

one of the groups was in accord with
any others in other respects. The

In the Place de Ia COncorde and the

master General Farley Cancelled the
contracts of all air lines carrying the
United States air mail, and the Pres
ident directed the army air service to
carry the air mails until further no

heads of the air line companies and of
Colonel Lindbergh against this sum-
mary action, it appeared likely the
transfer of the service to the army
would be made permanent.
The country was divided into three
areas, eastern, central and western,
for this service. Operations in the
eastern area will be carried on from
the Newark IN. j. airport under Maj.

Lieut.. Col. Il c. Hickam of Fort
