World Air Travel Held
One Faetor,in Solving
u. 5. Trade Problems

International air travel by Ameri-
cans in postwar years win play an
important part in solving the prob
lens of our world trade, DR.. john
B. Crane of Baltimore, marketing
economist for the Glenn L. Martin
Company. today told the joint
Air Transport Users Conference of
the National Aeronautical Associa-
ton at the Hotel Statler.
Basing his figures on what he
termed conservative view of post-
war travel estimates, DR.. Crane sug-
gested that 1000, 900 Americans will
travel by air to foreign lands in
each postwar year. He also esti-
mated that each would spend at
least $500 while abroad.
"On this basis" he. said, "the
1000 900 American travellers would
spend $40o, 900 900 annually. These
expenditures would be invisible i'm
ports and would have the same
effect on dollar exchange as the
purchase OF foreign merchandise
by American importers. American
travel expenditures abroad increase
the ability of foreigners to take
our exports and, since we are a
creditor Nation, helps bring about a
better balance Of trade"
Hart Bowman, city airports man.
ager for Dallas, Tex, warned mem
bers Of the conference that air ter
minals of the future must be vastly

public is to be attracted to air

suggested are weather protection for

planes, faster. luggage handling, bet
ter public address systems, more
waiting rooms and service facilities,
and faster mechanical servicing of
planes to avoid terminal delays.

troll" the world match market

the Swedish Match Co.

insinuating," company officials is
sued a statement which said in part:
These charges are replete with
false and double-edged innuendoes
which have no basis in fact but
which reflect on a record of service
and patriotism which began with
the company's founding IS years
ago"
Match Monopoly Alleged.
The House committee also de-
clared that Diamond apparently
controlled the British, Japanese and
Russian markets and that the match
industry was one Of "the most
highly monopolized in the United
States"
In its statement, the match COM
pany itemized the following denials:
81. The company has no carte
agreement with Swedish or any
other foreign match companies tt
control international trade,
"2. The company's nonentrancs
into export trade is not, and has moi
been, based upon division of mar.
kets with foreign interests, but upor
the inability to produce matches
under its scale of high wages, which
can compete with low-pay plant
products abroad.

IS. The company is not, and has
not been, a monopoly or a partner In
any domestic match monopoly.
a. Diamond has not attempted
to control the production

chine shop"

matter Of record that the Diamond
Match Co. consistently fought ef-
forts of the Swedish match cartel

of the u. S. whose only hobby is poker.
Many say that only in poker game
does a man reveal his true self. Homer
Croy, famous writer and hnmorist -and a
Missouri boy himself went to the White
House for TRUE, the Mans Magazine, to
find out just what kind of game Harry
Truman plays. There he talked with Ed
McKim, for thirty years poker opponent
and intimate friend of the President.
Homer Croy came back with not only
IN unusual, very human story-but one
which is also extremely revealing.
Is Harry Truman good CALI? Does
he play them close to his vest? Is he
daring bettor? How much does he bluff?
The answers to those questions give
remarkable insight into the character of
our President especially in the light of
Mr.. Truman's first Big Three meeting
with Joseph Stain and Winston Churchill.
