BY the Associated Press.

BY Cne Associated fTeSS.
Richard c. du Pont, aviation ex-
pert, said yesterday he had recon-
mended to officials of the Post ONCE
Department and Civil Aeronautics
Authority the development of a
Nationwide system Of feeder lines"
to give hundreds of the smaller cities
direct connection with the big cross
country airlines.
The Wilmington. Del, president

method for the establishment of a
feeder system, and it has created
new and vast opportunities for the
development of commercial avi-
alton"
The system involves the use of a
grapple-like device for picking mail
or express pouches from the ground
while an airplane is in flight. Such
system now is in daily operation
on an experimental basis on two air
mail routes in Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Ohio and Delaware.
These lines carry only mail and
express. but Mr.. Du Pont said his
company was making an investiga-
ton of its use in connection with
passenger service. If extended to
passenger service, stops would be
limited to airports with passengers
to be taken on or discharged.
