Age Of Flight
Age Of FIight
Air Travel Is Expanding;
ManyJobs Being Created
New Feeder Lines Will
Serve 9O,OO0,O0O
People
BY AUGUSTIN DILWORTH
Airports MAGAZINE

It is well known that the aviation
industry has passed through a
period of retrenchment necessitat-
ed by the end of the war. However,
peacetime aviation progress has
just begun to assert its influence in
our national economy. Airline econ
omy. Airline mileage schedules
are climbing daily; new airports
are beginning to dot the country
side; manufac cturers of light planes
are swamped with orders; air
freight has become Of age; and the
public has accepted flying as a
familiar means Of transportation.
The domestic airlines are flying
more than $4,000 miles daily as
compared to 1854, 600 in 1941. New
and projected feeder lines will
soon serve same 100000 people.
Legislature Action
Measures now before Congress
provide for millions of dollars to
be spent on the development of
airport facilities. Returning mill
tary pilots are receiving Civil
Aeronautics Administrator icens-
es by the thousands.
The CAA announces that As. air
craft manufacturers hold current
aircraft type certificates, which
enables them to manufacture air
craft, as of December 5, 1915. .
4 More Interest
Basically, civil aviation is grow
ing in its direct usefulness to an
ever increa sing number of people.
This means more landing fields,
the development Of private flying,
favorable legislation and greater
opportunity for private enterprise.
More Jobs
The aviation industry will rank
high in terms Of new jobs created.
AS part of the Department of Com
merce, the CAA predicts that by
1855. 100000 persons will be en-
ployed in civil aviation. This fore
cast is based on their prediction
of 100000 aircraft in operation by
1855, with a total passenger traffic
of 22,Oo0,000 people. Eighty thous-
and of these planes will be used for
commercial purposes, 10000 by
business concerns, and 100000 by
private flyers.
This one industry alone is ex-
pected to furnish six per cent
of all the new jobs required to
achieve substantially full employ
ment.

War Accelerates Program
Through Technical
improvements
BY FRANK A. TICHENOR
Publisher, Aero Digest

The airplane stands ready today
to assume its long-destined place in
the scheme of things.
The impetus Of the war tremen-
dously accelerated progress in the
aeronautical industry, and technol.
ogy has kept pace with the urgent
demand for improved all-around
performance of aircraft The pro-
gress of American combat planes.
bombers, fighters, reconnaissance
and the rests already part of
world legend. Thousands of giant
transports. flying personnel and
cargo millions Of miles daily. to
and from war fronts in all parts of
the globe, have conclusively dem
onstrated the solid possibilities of
air-borne traffic.
What then, Of the fruits of the
engineering "know-how" created
by this country's vast experience
in the building of warplanes.
Commercial aircraft of advanced
design-for postwar schedules and
non-scheduled airlines service -
are already moving off the assem-
oly lines. Personal aircraft also, of
every needed type-easy to op-
crate, safe and serviceable - are
now being made available at prices
within reach of the public.
Full advantage of all this can
be taken if America is adequately
provided with landing facilities to
accommodate the greately expand
ed air traffic entailed. Thus. un-
less comprehensive program of
airport construction is carried out
the growth of civil aviation - in
creased use of personal aircraft
and OF air transportation-will be
seriously retarded. Possessing
some 5000 fields at the present
time, it is estimated that the Unit
ed States will require double that
number, within five years.
From the all-important angle of
national security Congress must
provide sufficient funds to insure
a continuing research program of
such size and scope as may be
found necessary to give us the best
IN all forms of aerial equipment.
FUNDS must also be made available
TO develop and produce the re-
suits of the research program in
sufficient quantities to meet any
future emergency.
This program by itself cannot ac-
complish the enormous task we
have before us. There is big job
for the entire industry, and for
every air conscious American -
and that job is to convince Con-
gress that the statement made by
General Jimmy, Doolittle before
the Senate committee on Military
Affairs on the question of the con-
sol de ton of the Army and Navy
under a single department OF the
armed forces is the answer to
sound, efficient, and economical
defense.

All Of the stock IS earmarked
for the purpose of attracting bust
ness to Wilmington. W. G. Thorn
ton. president Of the Wilmington
Savings Bank and Trust company,
is president of the group, which,
after careful investigation Of the
financial condition and other fac
tors connected with the business,
seeks to attract new business by
constructing the factory building
and then leasing it to the incoming
industry.
For example, Industrial Proper
ties might decide to bid Tor Ger
tain industry. A check would be
made of three main points, name
ly. financial condition, reputation
in business dealings and treatment
Of employees.
Once satisfied as the reliability
of the industry, Industrial Proper
ties next would propose to the II
dustry that a building would be
built and leased at very reason
able rate to the industry, provided
the manufacture site was chang
ed. If accepted, the money spen
for the building, as it was paie
back by the lease, would go into
the revolving fund.- set up by In
dustrial Properties for the one pur
pose of attracting industry.

QUEEN CITY BEGAN
WITH "M0DEL rs"

Queen City Tralways first inau-
gurated motor bus service between
Concord and Charlotte, early in
1918 under the name Of Love-Low-
der Bus Line. Several Model To-
Fords were purchased and citizens
Of these two towns and the rest
dents along the route were provid-
ed with pioneering "jitney" serv-
ice. Mr.. L. A. Love, vice president
and general manager of Queen City
railways and Greensboro-Fa -Fayette-
vile Trailways, was the founder Of
this first route.
After being in operation for near
ly four years, Love and his asso-
ciates began motor bus operations
between Charlotte and Gastonia and
after twelve months, or in 1923,
their lines were extended to Mon
roe, N. c., and soon after that an
other extension was made with
Wadesboro as the eastern terminus.
From these beginnings of short
line routes, Love and his partners
soon saw the necessity and posi-
bilities of longer bus routes. The
rapid development, after the first
world war, of eastern Carolina with
its large tobacco and cotton farms
and the progress and growing rep
utation OF the western part of
North Carolina as a vacation and
summer resort section, prompted
these far-sighted men to connect
the two extremities of this state
with fast, modern, and safe motor
bus transportation.
In 1925 daily round-trip schedules
were established between Charlotte
and Wilmington, Charlotte and Fay
etteville, and between Charlotte and
Asheville over two parallel routes
via Shelby and via Hickory. On
January %, 1923, Queen City Coach
company was founded by the con-
solidation of these various routes
and companies and the purchase Of
new lines. L. A. Love was duly
elected general manager of the
new company. Since that time,
Queen City Coach company and
Greensboro-Fa fayetteville Lines have
seen constant growth. On April %,
1910, they joined the National Trail
ways Bus system and became af-
filiated with other motor carriers
that provide coast to coast and bor-
der to border service to the travel
ing public.
5000 Miles
Queen City Trailways and its af-
filiate Greensboro Fayetteville
Trailways now own and operate
more than 5000 franchise miles in
the states of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia.
They own nearly 400 modern, COM
Portable coaches and have over 200
bus terminals for the use of it's
patrons.
The present officers, directors,
and department managers have
been with these two companies for
many years. They are all men of
vast experience in the transporta-
ton field and they possess the quail
tiles that are necessary to carry
on the future advancement of the
motor bus industry as whole.
They are men who possess the
ability to carry on their vital work
in the transportation industry.
These companies and their en-
ployees through the years nave
gained and retained the respect OF
the entire state by providing ell
cient, safe, and economical trans.
portation to it's many thousands OF
patrons, says Hal J. Love, winning
ton division manager.

Lack Of Nurses Bars
tuberculosis Bed Plan

A proposal to reserve more beds
for tuberculous patients in early
stages of infection could not be
put into effect now because of the
shortage of nurses, and closed wards
in the District hospitals treating
such cases, a spokesman for the
Health Department said yesterday
The proposal was advanced Thurs
day at meeting of the Metro
politan Washington tuberculosis
Conference at Howard University.
DR.. Samuel Ingraham of the
United States Public Health Service,
and DR.. Sol Katz, in charge of tu-
perculoSis wards at Gallinger Hos
pital, championed the plan before
the meeting. 1t was also approved
by Edward K. Funhouser, eXecu-
tive secretary of the District of Co.
lumbia tuberculosis Association.
The Health Department was said
by its spokesman to have approved
the plan in principle, and recon-
mended it to the District Commits
sioners.
At the present time, Mr.. Funk
houser reported today, there are

Rubinstein's Bail Is Set.
At $500, 900 in Draft Case
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 27.-A Federal
court judge yesterday set an unpre-
cedented s5OO,OOO bail for Serge
Rubinstein, international financier
charged with falsifying his draft
status, after Irving Saypol, chief
assistant United States attorney
said the Government feared Rubin
stein would flee to Portugal in a
recently-purchased airliner.
The bail, highest in the history OF
this city's United States District
Court, was fixed by Federal Judge
James P. Leamy. Mr.. Saypol had
asked that the figure be set at ST.

Church Press Scores
Intolerance, Seeks
Vatican Envoy Recall

Bigotry and intolerance were de-
nounced as n-American by the AS
sociated Church Press, an organ
ization of editors of Protestant re-
ligious journals, at the concluding
meeting yesterday of it's three day
annual convention at Wardman
Park Hotel.
The editors also passed resolu-
tionS condemning the action OF
President Truman in renewing the
appointment of an American rep
resentative at the Vatican without
Senate approval and praising the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton for its decision to permit the
Tuskegee Institute Choir to appear
in Constitution Hall.
The organization protested against
the growing evidence throughout
the United States of anti-Protes-
tant bigotry and intolerance" and
called on Protestant journals to
fight for the aims of "our fore
fathers to establish a place where
religion and freedom of worship
would be forever safe from en-
croachment." The resolution also
pointed out the protestant ideal
is based on the inherent worth of
every human being and on personal
liberty in direct contrast to the
imposition upon the people of the
authoritarian concept of life and
government"
Recall of Myron Taylor. Ambas-
sador at the Vatican, by President
Truman was asked in resolution
approved by the convention. The
editors said the appointment was
made originally by President Roose-
velt on a temporary basis and since
it has not had the sanction of the
Senate as required the organiza-
ton will call upon the Foreign Re-
lations Committee to hold hearings
on why the Ambassador has not
been recalled" if such action is not
taken within a reasonable period OF
time
The meeting issued a statement
which said that while in the past
the organization had several times
condemned the OAR for its policy
of racial discrimination, it wished
this time to praise the organization
for the exception made to the policy
of not permitting colored artists to
appear at Constitution Hall. 1t also
expressed the hope the action pre-
saged permanent action to delete
the white artists only clause from
the Constitution Hall lease"

Leasing Of Operation
Of Pools Questioned
By Recreation Board

The District Recreation Board has
asked the District Commissioners
to investigate the legality of the
Interior Department contract leasing
operation of the Banneker and
Takoma public swimming pools to
Government Services, Inc, for an
other five years. .
At the same time it was announced
a special three-man committee of
the Recreation Board would meet
Monday night to plan what course
should be taken to bring all SWIM
ming pool operations in the District
under one authority.
A poll of board members resulted
IN a 5-to-2 vote on the pool ques-
ton, with Irving c. Root, superin-
tendent of National Capital Parks,
and Alice C. Hunter, colored mem
ber and secretary of the board,
dissenting.
Renewed March 81.
The flve-year contract by which
Government Services, Inc, has op-
Grated swimming pools and other
recreation concessions in the Wash
inngton park system, was renewed
March 81, bringing protest from
the Recreation Board, which had
previously requested the depart
ment to hand over six swimming
pools involved to Recrea ton Board
operation.
Board members questioned the le-
gality of the contract in the case
of the Takoma and Banneker pools
because those recreation centers
were purchased with District funds
and assigned to the board by the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission in 1912.
Interior Department jurisdiction
over the other four pools, the Fran
els, Anacostia, Mckinley lexington
and East Potomac, is not question
ed, since they are either on Federal
land or land under the jurisdiction
OF the Interior Department.
Dispute Over Law.
1t Is the hope of the board, how
ever, eventually to take over opera
ton of these pools as well, since
future pools now being planned are
to be built in conjunction with high
schools and operated jointly by the
Recreation Board and the Board c.
Education.
The Interior Departments Office
of National Capital Parks is averse
to the change, since it does most of
the Recreation DEPARTMENT. main
tenance work and might have to
maintain the pools. Under the
present contract Government Serv-
ices. Inc. must maintain the pools.
The Recreation Board claims the
law authorizes it to operate such
facilities as pools, while the Interior
Department claims the law grants
the board authority only to operate
recreation program using the
pools but not the pools themselves.
