Aviation ONLY HALF OF AiR MAIL LINES MAKING MONEY Passage of Watres Bill to Mean Juggling Rates to Common Level. BY ERNIE PYLE Tim* Aviation Correspondrnt WASHINGTON, April 9—Only about half of the twenty-five air mail lines operating in the United States on contract with the government are able to make money. Some of those with high contracts are making money hand over fist. Others, who submitted extremely low bios, have only slight hope of even breaking even under their present contracts. If the Watres air mail bill passes, the rates paid to these contractors will be juggled to a common level, giving every contractor a reasonable return on his investment —no ridiculous profits and no large losses. As one man in the industry remarked the other day, the gravy is all gone from aviation; from now on it will be hard work and a reasonable return. Two Courses Open If the Watres bill is killed and no new legislation substituted for it, the postmaster-general can do one of two things: He ran call in all contracts and call for new bids.He can negotiate with the present contractors under the present Kelly act which will permit him to lower rates, but not to raise them. If, in the first instance, he should call for new contracts, there is hardly an operator of the present twenty-five lines who could re-win his contract, knowing from experience, as he does, just what price he can afford to fly the mail for. This would mean kn entirely new set of contractors, most of them inexperienced an r) many of them pure stock-promccion schemes, and would result, some believe, in disaster. Cut to Reasonable Rate If, on the other hand. Brown should negotiate with the present contractors under the Kelly act. it would mean that those lines which are now getting around $3 per pound would be cut down to a more reasonable rate. And It would mean also that those whose rates are so low r that they are losing large sums of money, would have to continue at those rates. Most of them would, it is believed, forfeit their contracts. Should the Watres bill be passed in its present form, it would mean that, all the present contractors could keep their lines under adjusted rates, and that new contracts could be awarded either by competitive bidding or by negotiation. It would mean also that the chief beneficiary would be a corporation which now holds eleven of the twenty-five mail contracts in the United States. ‘Air Cemetery’ Myth WASHINGTON. April 9—The famed “air mail graveyard” over the Pennsylvania mountains, over which air mail has flown for eleven years and over which passenger air lines soon are to start., is more or less of a myth, a survey of postotlice department records’ reveals. Since air mail service started between Washington and New York in 1918, eighty-four pilots and passengers have been killed in mail planes. Os these, thirteen have died on the New York-Cleveland run over the Pensylvania mountains, and of these thirteen, only four deaths have been due directly to the mountainous territory. Postoffice officials say the ratio of deaths on this line is no greater than that of the average air mail run. In fact only three pilots on this run have been killed since the mail was turned over to commercial operators in 1926, and there are other runs over more favorable country which have lost as many or more pilots. Motor Wins Approval The new Chevolair six-cylinder-tn4ine inverted airplane motor, embodying several revolutionary principles in aircraft engine design, has created a sensation at the all-Amer-ican aircraft show’ now in progress at Detroit, according to reports received at the plant here of Chevolair Motors, Inc., of which Arthur Chevrolet is president. H. C. Brooks of Hoosier airport Saturday flew a Travel Air biplane powered with one of the Chevolair sixes to Detroit, where it was to be demonstrated at Ford airport. Chevrolet. B. P. Brunk. vice-president of the company, and J. H. Kinnaird Rowe left Saturday for Detroit- to ajtend the show and supervise their exhibit of another motor in the show.

A couple of week ago an oil well came in on the land, which adjoins the tract where the Mary Sudik ran unchecked for eleven days. “We’ve turned down an offer of $1,000,000 for the ten acres,” Cook said today, “preferring the royal-

state when art acreage estimate was desired. „ The survey admittedly was a rough (me, little attempt being made in places to follow the actual shore line and. since a part of it was run in the winter, in some instances guesses were made as to where the beach extended under the snow r and ice Two years ago, however, the state supreme court held that the ‘meander” line was the actual boundary of lake shore property and that any lands on the outside of the line were to be held in trust by the state for its citizens. Until the rendering of that decision the water’s edge had been considered property limits and in the last two years the courts have had scores of cases revolving aiound damage claims. Early this year the court reopened the entire question, but without giving any indication that it intends to reverse its first decision. All the old arguments have been submitted and today the department of conservation officials, fighting to retain the lands as public property, again are deadlocked with property owners who claim they own to the water's edge. The question of these “relicted”

.ands was one which split the 1929 state legislature into two bitter camps and is one which may play an important part in the coming general elections. An act which would have deeded the shore line to the adjacent property owners was passed by the solons after a prolonged fight, but it was vetoed by Governor Fred W. Green. Gradual lowering of the level of the Great Lakes since the meander line was established, has added to the problem. As the level has fallen the waters have receded even from the original line. Property owners, in the belief that their title ran to the water, have followed out and in an exaggerated case at South Haven a large part or the community’s business district is located on lands which the supreme court has held belongs to the state.
