program to show the relative speeds
Of airmail and rail mail. AL Of the

Two letters were mailed at 8 am

airmaiI letter reached Washington
at noon on October 2. The rail let
ter did not arrive until 7:30 pm
October 4. In all cases, return spe-
cial delivery envelopes were inclosed

so that the time of arrival would
be stamped on the back of the en-

Weather Still Causes Delay.
What is the possibility Of all first
class mail going by air?
Robert S. Burgess, superintendent
|of the airmail service of the Post
Office Department, gives this an
swer:
''It may come within the next few
years. But this will depend upon
two factors: /. Lowering of rates
which the Post Office Department
pays for transporting airmail, and,
IL, a higher percentage of perform
ance by the airlines.'
Mr.. Burgess pointed out that
flights are Cancelled because OF
weather, which also causes delay on
the airways. Eventually this condi-
ton will be overcome by electronics
and navigational devices developed
during the war, he said. The per-
centage of dependability of the air.
lines is now higher than before. he
rsaid.
But if airports are closed down by
weather, whole communities would
be without mail for an entire day,
if all first-class mail went by
air, he declared.
Parcel Post by Air.
Prospects Of having airmail par
Icel post are considered rather
bright. Mr.. Burgess said that the
airmail parcel post bill passed the
House, but failed to get through the
Senate in the last days of the recent
session.
II think it will pass in the new
Congress" observed Mr.. Burgess.
