Other plans are being prepared
for commercial air service. The
war is holding them back but, at
the same time it is stimulating both

Is the chief weapon will be ready
to take over the controls when
America flies for peace.
The Civil Air patrol which is do
ing yeoman service as an auxiliary
to the army and navy air force in
patrol duty is also the foundation
for an air trucking service which
will link the rural communities to
the. great airlines of the future.
Trans-continental air trains" con-
sisting of an airplane and a string
of trailer freight-planes will inter-
lace the skies and great dirigible
airships will float from Los Angeles
to Tokyo in 70 hours, from Chicago
to Friedrichshaven in Germany in
less than 60 hours. And from the
small communities to main airports
the little "sky-trucks, the smaller
planes such as the Civil Air patrol
now uses will carry the produce Of
farm and small shop to the metrop-
oils.
AS a matter of fact the Civil Air
patrol is already doing courier and
small package transportation in con-
nection with the war effort AS one
Air Patrol official said:
''This probably is the only I'm:
tapped transportation in the coun-
try. It is organized and ready. The
light plane uses minimum of alu-
minum and rubber on its small
landing wheels and burns no more
gasoline than the family auto and
can be put to many uses"
Just as the pickup airmail serv-
ice has begun to pay its way with
steadily increased use, so this cou-
rier service by light planes is prov
ing its value in the war effort~When
peace comes it will be-a part Of the
''farm-to-market" transportation.

That, too, is not hard to visualize
if we look at what has already been
accomplished under our noses with
out most Of us realizing it. One
hundred and fifty American towns
and cities know what I mean. This
group of communities is chiefly COM
posed of the little town, down to
those with population as low as
588. This is the group which is
benefiting by just one of the appli-
cations of the use Of the airplane to

Father of the System
Representative Jennings Randolph
of West Virginia, one Of the most
air-minded Of congressman, is the
father of the pickup system. He
introduced the bill appropriating the
money to the post office department
which made this rural air-mail sys-
tenn possible. He tells me the Civil
Aeronautics board has application
for lines covering 1000 commune
ties in 26 states.
And Representative Randolph has
a lot more bills up his sleeve which
foreshadow activities to come and
which will help bring aviation right
down into everybody's backyard,
figuratively speaking. One is for
the creation of a national civilian
air reserve corps.
Another is to provide training for

Washington, d. G.
Never In the worlds history has
war accomplished what this war
still far from over-has already
done toward shrinking the globe.
Last year four and half million
passengers were carried through
the air, reducing travel days to
travel-hours between our cities.
Average speeds of passenger planes
were well over three miles min
ute.
Then came the war with planes
rolling off the assembly lines at a
rate that made mass-production OF
automobiles pale by comparison.
Not all are weapons Of war, All
the inter-continenta airlines in the
world at their peak put together, be-
fore the war in Europe threw up
the barriers, did not represent as
many miles as the Airforce Ferry
ing Commands regular flights
which today extend over every con-
tinent except Antarctica.
Those are a few comparisons to
illustrate how the terrific impetus
which commercial flying already
had, has been increased by war
needs. 1t is easy to visualize what
this will mean when peace comes,
a world with the most widely sep

Hughes. land frequently sending for
small emergency shipments of
parts, tools. and materials by truck,
motorcycle, or private car. In the
month of April. 286 such trips were
made. The total road mileage was
14,780 while the air mileage would
have been 11,04O. The road time
was estimated at 422 hours and the
air time at only 10 hours. The
road cost was estimated at $1,700
and the air cost at less than half
this figure. Even if the air cost
were substantially more. the saving
in time is the main consideration in
wartime shipments of this charac-
ter"
The small plane service will bear
the same relations to the main line
freight service of the future that
the trucks bear to the railroad. They
will mean the nearest thing TO door
to-door air delivery. They can be
used where the big planes cannot
land and will be more economical
for short-hauls and small deliveries
as well as feeders to the main lines.
These are few of the plans, al
ready in the making which will
bring the benefits of aviation to the
rural community. Others will be de-
veloped the nature of which nobody
today can guess. And the effect will
be to decentralize the population.
The middle-sized town and the small
town will come back into their own,
for each community will be so near
in point of time to its farthest neigh
Dor that none need crowd the other
trying to seek the more favorable
point in space for its well-being.
The navy's plan for toughening up
its flying cadets will be carried out
by actual pick-and-shovel labor, 40
mile marches between dawn and
dusk, hiking and instruction in hand
to-hand combat. Some $500 young
fellows will get this sort of training
each month, along with the routine
academic, tactical and military
phases of the courses.

BIRTH CERTIFICATES
NOT REQUIRED

A person who seeks a post in
plants where work on secret or
confidential contracts is being
done, will no longer be required
to provide a birth certificate. In
stead, simple declaration of citi-
zenship will be sufficient.
Paul v. McNutt, Chairman of
the War Manpower Commission,
points out that birth registration
was not required in many states
and localities until recent years
and that in others the records have
been destroyed or lost. Many citi-
zens have been unable to prove
their native birth and State Bu-
reaus of Vital Statistics have been
swamped with requests for them.
The Census Bureau has also been
overwhelmed by requests for GER
tifcates from its records.
