Washington will be given its Sec

air routes to Transcontinental and
Western Air, Inc, under applica-
tions soon to be filed by the COM
pany. T. w. A. today filed with
the C. A. A. notice of its intention
to file the applications.
The three new routes sought by
T. w. A., totaling. $50 miles, include
235-mile branch of its transconti-
mental route between Indianapolis,
Fort Wayne, Ind, and Detroit; a
224-mile route from Cincinnati
through Dayton and Toledo, Ohio
to Detroit, and a 500-mile route
from Washington to Detroit by way
of Wheeling, w. Va.
The Neutrality-suspicious. route
would connect directly with the
transcontinental service, bringing
Washington for the first time into
the T. w. A. system and giving the
Capital its fourth major airline
service.
By giving notice of intention to
file the applications for certificates
of convenience and necessity the
airline hoped to gain priority in
event competing airlines filed later
for these routes. The plan is to
operate three round trips a day be-
tween Washington and Detroit, and
this may be increased to five trips
within year.
The Washington-Detroit applica-
ton may be opposed by Pennsyl-
vania-Central Airlines, which now
operates seven round trips daily be-
tween the two cities by way of
Pittsburgh and Cleveland, on the
ground that it would constitute a
competing, parallel service.
