tee to establish the route at the earliest date practical. Colonel Lindbergh, in making his report as chairman of the technical committee, stated: “After personally inspecting the western portion of the route to be operated by Transcontinental Air Transport and after studying meteorological conditions existing over this territory, I am ready to recommend that an all-air schedule be established, west of Columbus. “This recommendation is made with the unanimous approval of the technical committee and due largely to the reports of C. S. Jones regarding European aviation, and those of Major Lanphier, Philip Love and H. C. Ferguson regarding the terrain to be flown over, with particular reference to that part of the trip which will be made at night. "A study of the equipment now available shows that night flying of passengers over suitable territory

can be carried on in safety and comfort.” Tennis Star at Air Plant NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—Rene La Coste, acknowledged world’s champion tennis player, with G.
