years ago by Mr.. Frye and Howard
Hughes, the wealthy Texas manufac-

in TWA.
Tie Constellation has four giant

same as those used on the Army's B-29

ficials aboard came through and an
nounced that we were nearing Kansas
City. 1t seemed that we had left New
York only few minutes previously.
AS matter of fact, when we landed
we had set our first record of the
hight-New York to Kansas CITY in S
hours and minutes.
We stopped little over an hour in
Kansas City and were off again. I
abandoned the card game and began
TO enjoy the scenery. Down below. for
miles and miles, the great Midwestern
plains unfolded. Here and there were
the outlines of river; and, once, in
my MINDS eye I pictured a covered
wagon travelling west. The wide con-
trast between speed of wagon and plane
seemed real enough.
We Were Breaking
All the Records
1t wasn't long before we were told
that we would soon be able to see two
OF tne worlds most beautiful air sights
the Grand Canyon and Boulder Dam.
WORDS cannot describe them. The
weather was clear and our pilot was
good enough to circle both. Their great
ness, as viewed from the air. seemed
only to emphasize how picturesque ma
ture really is.
AS we approached Los Angeles we
were told that two other records were
being broken: The record from Kansas
City to Los Angeles, and the record
from New York to Los Angeles. When
we did land, it was announced that our
flying time from La Guardia Field had
been 10 hours and 40 minutes. We all
had guessed how long the trip would
take, and missed it by As minutes.

points of interest, flew back to Los An

Our fast pace continued after we
reached Los Angeles. A fleet of limo
sines took us out to Warmers Studio,
where we had lunch and saw Joan

a picture. Then brief respite at club

that any housewife would desire. The

food for passengers and crew and a
smaller one to preserve salads, butter

grill and rack of hot and cold CUPS

No one could fail to appreciate the
many luxuries of the plane-comforta-

adequate aisle space, two complete lava
tories, large storage rack for coats, in
olVldual lights and ash trays for each
passenger and insulation against sound.

Frye, president of TWA, would pilot us
back East. We knew that there were
plans afoot to try and break the non
stop cross-country record, but cancella-
ton of the stop and the fact that Mr..
Frye would be at the controls erased
all previous doubt.
There were 50, including crew, In our
party when we took off promptly at
1853, Pacific time, $3.50, Eastern time.
Soon the lights of Los Angeles were dis
appearing back of us. 1t wasn't long
before we ran into snowstorms and our
plane gained altitude to escape them.
Then We ran into other storms, all of
which didn't make me feel too good.
None OF them was serious, however, and
we gathered speed as we flew over Ari-
zona and on over Colorado.
Shortly after $50 the Constellation
began to shake from side to side. and
some of the passengers reused from
their sleep. Then at GAO, just as we
were leaving the Sangre de Cristo
Range, north of Pueblo, Colo, we hit a
thermal bump" with severe Jolt. The
ship seemed to dip to the left, and some
OF the passengers were thrown against
the luggage racks above their seats.
while several others were knocked into
the aisle. One of the fellows, who was
asleep at the time, subconsciouSly
thought he had fallen out of his chair.
embarrassed, he half arose from the
foor and began to apologize, but seeing
others in the same position, he de-
manded. We'll, what did happen?" No
serious harm was done and we sped on.
States Just Seemed
To Whizz by Below
Strangely enough, it took the fright
out of me, and thought, "If this plane
can take such bump, there's no use
for me to worry" So I settled back
and enjoyed the rest of the flight more
than ever.
We raced on over Kansas, Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. AS we
passed over Haysville, Ohio, our San
nouncer" informed us that between
Fort Wayne, Ind, and Haysville we
had gotten up to 375 miles an hour. At
our great he1ght-about 1900 feet-we
hadn't noticed that our speed had been
stepped up.
To me the most interesting and
significant part of the trip was over
Pittsburgh. Hours away from New York
by highway or rail, the hostesses began
tidying up the plane and the passengers
started gathering up their possessions.

gypsies and move fast.
We're not footloose. I'm working to

wife is studying stenography to add to
our income while I'm still in school.
But my mother Is terribly annoyed be-
cause We go to school nights and don't

Three Families in a
Four Room Apartment
I'm going to move, too-if it's only
to one room," said the pale, frail wife
of naval lieutenant. 1--WE are three
families in four-room apartment and
the confusion is out of this world. No.
body has any privacy or peace. We try
to have community meals, but one of
the wives won't do her share of cooking
and dlshwashing. And one Of the men
never comes to meals on time. The
other wife is always washing things out
and hanging them in the bathroom.
She uses my powder and scatters 1t all
over the place; she uses my curriers' and
breaks them. We've got to move: I
don't care where"
You'd better be careful where" said
former lieutenant who was suffering
from combat fatigue. That's what we
did. My brothers and and our wives
were all living with our parents in a
1our-room apartment. My wife was
going to have baby so I moved her
to little dark room in rooming house
The baby was born there. And now she's
sick and the baby's sick and I can't
take care of them or get the right food
My family blames me. I'm going crazy!"
His voice broke and tears began to
course down his face.
The matronly head Of the Oficers'
Service Committee took his arm and
led him to her desk, long since bare of
any apartment listings.
Its the in-laws that drive them
crazy" she explained as she gave him
cigarette. They get along better with
perfect strangers. They can't yell at
them. We are going to feel the psyche
logical effect of this housing shortage
and doubling-up for years to come.
Many people are living under awful con-
oltions-several families with babies
crowded into one small apartment, all
that washing and cooking being done,
luggage piled everywhere! A new slum
is being created in New York. It's the
most dangerous family problem this
country has to face"

Hollywood. Elapsed time of entire trip:
50 hours and a minutes.
The giant four -motored TWA Con-
stellation in which I flew broke six
records and set such a pace that when
I got back I began looking forward to
receiving the mail I had sent home
from points had visited The main
record established was, of course the
mark of hours, 27 minutes and 48
seconds from Los Angeles to New York.
I was one of large group of news
paper, radio and magazine correspon-
dents invited to make the trip, which
was arranged by TWA as a preview of
the airline's Inauguration of Washing
ton-to-Paris commercial service and as
a part of TWAS Goth anniversary cele-
bration.
Only once before, 16 years ago, had
flown in a plane; back in the days
when all you had to do to fly from
Birmingham, Ala, to Atlanta, Ga.-as
did-was to climb into a six-passenger
cabin cruiser, head east and hope to get
there in the hour and a half required
for the 150-mile trip. I was quite up
set that day and I'll have to admit
had my uneasy moments on the coast

In Those Days You Couldn't
Be Sure You'd Get There
I left Washington for New York by
train on the afternoon of Thursday,
January 81. The weather was terrible,
and all La Guardia Field flights had
been Cancelled for the day. We were
due to take OF for Kansas City, the
first stop. at am. Friday, and the
prospects definitely were not good. On
the way up from Washington I ran
into an old friend, and he and I
promptly got acquainted with others on
the train who also were to make the
trip.

ly to the determination Of many young
people to qualify themselves for jobs in
the industry.
Too, Washington, with its hundreds of
departmental groups, is logical place
for development of flying clubs.
A few are well established and many
more are being discussed, some with
membership potential big enough to
take over whole field and equip 1t
with small fleet of light planes.
Yet many difficulties must be over

OF those interested can learn to fly.
Breaking Down the Costs of
Flying Your Own Plane
1t costs about $500 to pile up enough
hours and instruction for license.
Two scatter planes vary between $4,000
and $4,000 and since the war manufac-
turers are reluctant to include the cost
OF flight instruction in the purchase
price of the plane.

Los Angeles to New York
In Less Than IN Hours

1t seemed to me that all during the
last leg of the trip we were gradually
descending. At any rate, 1t wasn't long
before our pilot buzzed La Guardia Field
and down We came, to learn that we
had made the trip in less than 7h
hours. They told us that we would have
cut the time even shorter had it not
been for the fact that we had ran into
some head winds at the last

feet but our average was between $4,000
and $4,000 feet" Mr.. Frye said. "The
distance was 2,490 miles"
From the time we reached our ceiling
soon after leaving Los Angeles. until we
began coming down on approaching
New York we averaged 345 to $50 miles
an hour.
As We rode back to the hotel in a
slow-moving car, thought of that

The Takeof at
La Guardia Field

After night of little sleep, all of us
gathered at La Guardia Field. There
was a slight drizzle and some delay.
The weather didn't appear to me to be
good for flying, but we finally boarded
the plane and took off at 6:42. Soon
we were up above the clouds, at an
altitude of $1,000 feet. and the sun
was shining.

Full insurance, hangar rent, gasoline,
oil, maintenance and incidentals, pilots
say, will cost the owner from a third to
a half of the original purchase price of
the plane each year, depending on the
mileage flown.
Rent costs vary here from $40
month for tie-down privileges to SIS for
individual hangers. A shortage of
hangar space has forced many owners
to stake out their planes in winter
weather, although field operators hope
to improve this condition as rapidly as
labor and materials become available.
Improvements are under way or will
begin this spring at most of the private
