Big Growth Ahead
In Air Transport,
CAB Chairman SAYS

The rapid growth of air trans
portation has brought most oi
the world within reach of the
average American traveller, &C.
cording to the chairman of the
Civil AeronauticS Board.
Oswald Ryan, who has served
on the board since it was created
Is years ago, said here yesterday
new opportunities for air traveI
now available to millions will be
greatly expanded in the near fu-
ture.
Addressing the Aviation Com
mittee of the Washington Board
Of Trade, Mr.. Ryan outlined the
1900 per cent growth of the all
transportation industry since
1888 and added:
Never before in history has il
been possible for the American
OF average means with two OF
three weeks vacation to visit
foreign lands"
CAB Led Improvement.
This improvement has come
about, Mr.. Ryan said, since Con-
greSs created the CAB to regu-
late the chaotic" infant indus
try, aid its development and pro-
vide some security for the capital
invested by private enterprise.
The airlines transported 25
million passengers last year, as
compared with 1877, 900 in 1888
Mr.. Ryan said. The number OF
passenger miles flown showed an
increase of some 1900 per cent
The industry and the Federal
officials who regulate it, have
learned that high fares, rather
than fear of flying, was the
limiting factor. Today, air trans
portation companies are extend
ing coach services to reach the
mass market, Mr.. Ryan said.
Scheduled carriers alone, the
speaker said, are now providing
1853 daily air coach flights serv-
ing 55 American cities with a to-
tai population of So million. This
is in addition to the widespread
flights Of non-scheduled airlines
Internationa' Low Fares.
1--WE have also seen the exten-
sion of these low-fare services
into the international field" Mr.
Ryan said. To-day low-fare
tourist services are available to
Europe, the Middle East, Central
and South America, Hawaii
Alaska and Puerto Rico. BY
next spring. we will have these
services to India and Japan"
Harrison Knapp, chairman OF
the Aviation Committee, and ar
executive of Eastern Air Lines,
paid tribute to Mr.. Ryan on the
occasion of his 18th anniversary
Of service on the board.
Guests of honor at the lunch
con, in the Willard Hotel, in
cluded the other members of the
board and officials of the Civil
AeronauticS Administration.

Mrs. Markward Tells
ArmyCourtofG Getting
Reds Names for FBI
BY the Assecieied Press

FORT DEVENS. Mass, May l.
Mrs. Mary Markward testified
today that while she was an
undercover Government agent
within the Communist Party
she solicited members for that
organization and then turned
their names over to the FBI.
This testimony was brought
out under questioning Of the tiny
Silver Spring. Nd. housewife by
Emanuel Bloch, counsel for list
1t. Sheppard Carl Thierman. 80.
1t. Thierman, an Army med
ical officer, is on trial before q
court martial board on charges
of perjury and fraudulently OBJ
tanning a commission.
Mrs. Markward, an extremely
cool witness, never lost her COM
posure as Mr.. Bloch fired ques-
tions at her in an apparent at
tempt to create doubt Of her
credibility in the minds OF the
nine officers making up the
board. He continued to ques-
ton her about her failure to
file Federal income tax returns
for money she received from the
FBI while a member Of the
Communist Party. /
Didn't Want Gossip.
She said she is now working
on those returns for the years
1943 through 1850. She ex-
planned she didn't file returns
before because she was afraid
people she knew in the Bureau
of Internal Revenue might find
out about her FBI connections
and gossip about it, destroying
her effectiveness.
Mrs. Markward, an officer in
the communist party in the Dis
trict Of Columbia Maryland area,
also testified she was present
when DR.. Eugene Robin and a
group of students from George
Washington University joined
the Communists.
She said she did not see 1t.
Thierman in the group. DR..
Robin, who was brought up a
communist but has since left the
party. testified here previously.
He was successor of Mrs. Mark
ward as chairman of the North
east Communist Party Club in
Washington.
Mrs. Markward was excused
with the understanding she
would be available for more ques-
tioning if necessary.
Court Takes Recess.
The court recessed to allow
prosecution and defense counsel
to confer with two unidentified
witnesses with a view to entering
their testimony by means of dep
oSitionS.
Mrs. Markward said yesterday
an exhibit indicated 1t. Their
man had been accepted for men,
bership in the Communist Party.
The exhibit was a card which
bore the pencil-printed name
of 1t. Thierman. She described
the card as an application for
membership in the party.
The card was introduced
Wednesday by DR.. Eugene D.
Robin, a witness on that day.

fore the trial board and SO cents

She testified she received the
card possibly with others -
with an undetermined amount
of money in the spring of 1916.
