Colombia Seeks u. ).
Help in Restoring
Aviation Facilities
By J, F. McAVOY,

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
BOGOTA.-Colombia Is looking to
the United States for help In solving
the greatest transport problem in
her history.
Lacking good highways and short
on rail and ship facilities, the coun-
try is facing at least partial return
to primitive means of communica-
ton unless Washington grants quick
and effective aid.
The national airline, Avianca,
founded in 1919 by Germans and
one of the oldest successful aviation
companies in the world, has been
given a large share of credit in the
progress made by Colombia in the
last 20 years. The fact that it has
been forced to reduce operations
almost 70 per cent due to deteriora-
ton of eight of its Is planes has
caused alarm in political and busi-
ness circles.
Through the Colombian govern
ment, Avianca has appealed to
American authorities to permit 1t
to purchase six new planes.
In 1910 Colombia ordered the line
to discharge all German employees
and the former German name was
dropped. Now approximately IS per
cent of the stock of the $1,700,000
enterprise Is owned by Pan-Amer-
ican Airlines and the rest by Co
lombians.
Not only Colombia, but Venezuela
and Ecuador are indirectly affected
by the curtailed service put into
effect April 7 when the company
was forced to ground eight 10-year-
old planes There is no service
now to Popayan, Paste and Ipiales
on the direct route to Ecuador,
while service to Cucuta on the
Venezuelan border has been elimi-
mated. Other places without air
service-and in the words Of the
press Completely bottled up as
they were a quarter-century ago.
are Honda, Ayapel, Sam Marcos,
Villavicencio, Otu, Amalfi and PATIO
The last three are important mining
centers.
Colombia's contribution to the
Allied war effort likewise Is jeo-
pardized because of the reduction
in service from Eastern Colombia
on behalf of the Rubber Develop
ment Corp. Service to important
oil fields and camps in the same
region has been cut to almost moth
ing.
