Colchester Flights Go
On Regular Schedules;
Second Leaves Today
BY PAUL MILLER.

Manager, Washington Bureau, of Associated
Press.
The first historic flight is over.
Regular round-the-w world air service
becomes routine, starting today.
This afternoon and every Friday
afternoon henceforth, Air Transport
Command planes, 40-passenger
Douglas C-54s, will leave Washing
ton on a schedule that terminates
here the following Thursday night.
1t. Gen. Harold George, COM
manding general of the ATC, pre-
diets the Colchester" will be run
twice weekly, in both directions in
stead of East as now, as soon as
mail and courier traffic justifies.
There is nothing remarkable
about the flight as I see it," the
general told newsmen, because avi-
alton has advanced to the point
where flights can be made on sched-
ule anywhere regardless of weather.
This is just forerunner of the air
age"
Would Do 1t Again.
The seven men and woman who
made the first fight, which ended
at National Airport last night, agreed
that they'd make the same junket
again, and gladly.
But they would have some changes
made. The ATC will give attention
to their recommendations in ham
ding the regular service.
Here, in brief, is the record of the
first Colchester:
Left Washington-3:58 pm. Sep
tember %.
Arrived back in Washington-9; AZ
o'clock last night.
Distanct flown-23,2 ,279 miles.
Scheduled time-151 hours.
Elapsed time-149 hours A min
utes.
Ground times hours 81 minutes.
Flying time-116 hours % minutes.
Regular Sleep Difficult.
The passengers agreed on three
main points:
l. Air mattresses used on the floor
or over double seats are better than
sleeping sitting up, but at least a
few real berths should be installed
in the passengers cabin. The only
berths provided now are for pilot
and crew, aft of the flight deck.
2. Nobody got as tired as expected
although there were so many odd
hour stops that regular sleep was
out of the question.
g. More regular hot meals should
be arranged.
Mrs. Inez Robb of International
News Service, the one woman in the
group, said:
I'D do it again right away if the
Office wanted me to. I'd do 1t on
my own after a week or two. I'm
tired, but not as tired as I ex-
pected. I've been more worn out
after covering New, Years celebra-
tons in New York. I'd bring along
two more items than I did-a coat
hanger and a baby pillow. The
best thing I did was to bring my
house slippers"

HOOVER GIVES ENDORSEMENT
TO THE PEACE CHARTER

The San Francisco charter should be
ratified by the senate, former President
Herbert Hoover declared in a Wednesday
night radio broadcast.
1t is probably as good a one as could
have been agreed upon under the exist
ing emotions, the present governments
and the conflicting ideals and ambitions

sidered opinion Of a man who is not given
to taking positions that he has not care
fully weighed and whose views on ma
tional and international problems com
mand respect.
Mr.. Hoover did not give unqualified
approval to the peace document as a
whole His criticisms, however, implied
full understanding Of the handicaps
under which the charter conference dele
gates had labOred in the course Of their
deliberations and were constructive. No
body should have expected perfection he
said, and those concerned with the draw
ing up Of the document knew we'll that
changes would have to be incorporated
over the years.

WOMEN GAIN MORE EQUALITY

(Christian Science MOnitor)
Equal pay for women doing the same
work as men in industry has now become
law in the sixth a-Massachusetts
WOmen's war work has earned this le
gal protection. Often women have step
ped into jobs that were traditionally
mems and made good. Equal pay was
further fostered by the backing Of the
National War Labor Board. Many COM
panias have made it their policy to pay
woman the mans rate when going on a
mans job.
There is some fear that equal-pay laws
will work to the disadvantage Of women
where an employer prefers man, and
if he has to pay the same wage to a Wo-
man as to a man, will pick the man. But
that will be a minor drawback. The main
thing is the wholesale elimination Of un-
fair discrimination dating back for ages.
AS New York, Illinois, and Michigan, all
leading industrial states, have already
passed such laws. their spread through
the Nation seems likely. The other two
states 50 far granting this safeguard to
women are Washington and Montana.

The actual situation is that Japan is

On the other hand, there is no little
evidence that Japan fully expects Rus
sia to make peace overtures for her and
that all the boasting is some more face
