Eight Changes of Policy on
Air Mail in Six Weeks Are
Called insane Practice

NEW YORK, March 90 (IN.SO.
Richard w. Robbins, president OF
the Transcontinental and West
ern Air, Inc, asSailed Postmaster
General James A. Farley's terms
for new bidding on air mail con-
tracts in a statement made public
today.
Mr.. Robbins is one Of the ex.
ecutives and T. w. A. Is one OF
the corporations excluded from
the bidding by the Postmaster
General. He said:
''The call for temporary bids
by the private companies to
carry the air mail represents
the eighth distinct and conflict
ing policy adopted by the Post
office Department within the
short period Of six weeks In
relation to the vast and vital
aviation industry.
First came the startling can
collation. Of every existing air
mail contract; then the Ill
considered use Of the Army to
fly the mail; then the frantic
retreat from that ghastly blum
der; then the resumption by the
Army of a curtailed service:
then, after it had been doing 1t
for some time, the passage
queerly enough of a law authOriZ-
ing the Army to fly the mail;
then the introduction of q dis
tOrted bill to restore the air mail
on a permanent basis to private
companies, and after that meas
ure was demolished by the with
ering criticism of every expert
called by the Senate committee,
the introduction of q different
bill to accomplish the same pur-
pose, and now the invitation to
private companies to bid for
temporary contracts.
what a gorgeous comedy of
public error and maIadminiStra-
tion it would be were it not for
such a tragic crippling Of the
air mail service and the aviation
industry. One Shudders to think
what the condition Of the avia-
tiOn industry would be If the
affairs of the companies were
conducted in such an insane
Manner"
