ExpressAgencyD Denies
Air Business StifIed;
Hearing Opens Soon
Plan to Develop More
Use Of System Begun
On November !
BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON.

On the eve of proposed hearings
by the Civil Aeronautics Board to
determine whether existing con-
tracts between the Railway Express
Agency and "a air carriers are in
| the public interest, the agency has
issued figures intended to show that
air express business has not been
stifled under its management and
this month has launched a Nation
wide campaign to develop further
the air express business.
In the November issue of its
house organ, National Aeronautics,
the National Aeronautic Associa-
ton cited a report by j. Parker Van
Zandt, now a Civil Aeronautics
Board consultant, on European air
transportation in which he noted
the great volume of air freight
traffic abroad in comparison with
that flown in this country.
THE findings should have been
startling enough to have made both
the Civil Aeronautics Authority and
the airlines sit up and take notice
of the lack of freight progress in
the United States" it was stated
editorially by the N. A. A.
1,O65,00O Pounds Expected.
The Railway Express Agency
however has made public figures
showing that an estimated total of
LOGS 900 pounds of air express will
have been moved in the United
States by the end of 1910, as COM
pared with a total of 870,8O6 pounds
during 1889. 1t was pointed out
that during 1923, the first full year

Denies Excessive Rates.
Denying that air express rates are
exorbitantly high, the agency stated
that they have kept pace with air.
mail and air passenger rates and
that the present rates were estab-
hshed on August Is, 1884, on the
basis Of seven years of experience
by the agency, the airlines and the
Post Office Department. The rate
now is 4 cents per pound per 100
miles, plus package arbitrary"
of 80 cents at one pound for the
minimum haul, with the arbitrary
declining with both weight and dis
lance at the rate of 4 cents per
pound and 4 cents per 100 miles
until dissipated, after which the
basic rate applies. The minimum
charge now is 81 and the maximum
rate is SO cents per pound. which
is the same as the airmail rate of
6 cents per ounce"

| Virginia Plans
Home Guard
Cavalry Troop
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 13.-Adjt
Gen. Samuel Gardner Waller said
yesterday he was considering the
possibility of organizing a troop of
cavalry as part of Virginia's pro-
posed home protective force.
The proposed unit, he said, would
probably be organized in the Lou
doun- Fauquier area, a section in
which a great many residents own
horses and engage in horse breeding
and training.
Cavalry" he said, would be
especially useful as home guard
troops because of their mobility"
No home protective force has yet
been authorized for Virginia, but
plans for the establishment of a
force of at least a regiment of in
fantry are being studied.

The here tofore-demure Virginia Bruce will be seen taking off all her clothes right in front of the camera. She'll do it several times, too-and with out opposition from the Hays Office

Performances this evening at Warmers State theater conclude the engagements fo Edward G. Robin son in "A Dispatch From Reuters" and Too Many Girls" with Lucille Ball, Richard Carlson and Ann Miller.
 And then starting tomorrow the State will present another smash weekend slow with the comedy drama Moon Over Burma" co-star- ring Dorothy Lamour, Robert Pres ton and Preston Foster.
 The picture will undoubtedly set local theatergoers to bowling with a laugh-intensity equivalent to the noise generated by a monsoon or thereabouts, as 1t is a cracking good comedy romance, bristling with good, solid laughs, spiced with moments of song and drama.
 Miss Lamour sings couple of new songs entitled Moon Over Burma and Mexican Magic ex- pertly calculated and fitted into the story so that her fans will be de- lighted, just as they will be by her new short hair-do.
 AS for the narrative, it is mostly to do with the fact that the two boys are in the teak numbering bus mess, need money and while bor- rowing 1t at Rangoon, meet Miss Lamour, an entertainer in a cafe. Subsequently all sorts of things happen along exciting and roman tic lines.
 A cobra threatens Dorothy, there are forest fire and a log jam but mostly there are fast cracks and entertainment galore.
 The stars are supported by a couple of really fine players in Dor is Nolan and Albert Basserman.
 And on the same big show will be the fastest, funniest football frol- ic of the year The Quarterback" starring Wayne Morris. ou'll cheer at the gridiron thrills, laugh at the football funsters and thrill to the college romance.
