Quite a few changes probably

postoffice department is expected
to insist that the companies which
receive contracts in the future be
divorced almost entirely from

There is strong support on the
senate side for a bill drawn by
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat of

similar to that used in carrying the

Iation have been sitting together
for the past year. And what is
implied in the phrase is that Mr..

everything his own way from now
on. He probably will get most
everything he goes after. for an
other year or so to come, but he
will have to fight for what he gets.

There is, yet, no effective Or
gained opposition, either within
or without the Democratic party;
nothing whatever that can be
called organization among the Re-
publicans, who are in a good d-l'
of a mixup among themselves as
to what policy to pursue or whether
to sit tight and avail develop

manifestations of dissatisfaction,
some of which contain the seeds
of future trouble for the Admin

The outcome of the whole air
mail matter is to force into the
consciousness of the American
people and of many in Washing
ton who did not understand the
facts, that the Governments air
services are away behind those of
commercial companies, in speed,
quality and equipment of planes
and in the skill of their aviators.
This is the reuslt of several fac
tors, one Of them being the fact,
of course that Army and Navy
flyers are trained for only one
thing. which is war; and a fight
ing plane is not intended to carry
cargo or passengers or to make
schedule flights blind at night.
Another important factor, how
ever, is the Governmental idea.
which applies to everything any
Government does, of "standinG
pat" on fixed ideas and designs fol
everything. So Army plane are
equipped with engines which were
discarded as inefficient by COM
mercial concerns several years ago
built to designs which make speec
