—Weekly Aviation— AIRLINES SLASH FARES; AIM AT RAILWAY RATES Bank Sends $2,500,000 in Currency by Plane Route. BY ERNIE PYLE Time* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Air travel fares all over the country have taken a tumble ■within the last two weeks. Coast-to-coast fare on all three transcontinental lines dropped from S2OO to $l6O, and on the fastest of them the trip can be made In twenty-eight hours. United Airlines, the biggest air transport system in the United States, put its fares down to about 6 cents per mile. Immediately the other big lines followed suit. There is keen rivalry between them for the passenger business, and none of them has any too much traffic. The independent airlines (those without mail subsidies) arc continually hounding the big lines by dropping their fares. It is a healthy situation and undoubtedly will force the engineers to produce a transport plane that will go faster and cheaper, thus eventually bringing air fares down to railroad day coach level. See Eight Cities at Once Captain Frank Hawks passed up the big air races at Miami this year, in order to make a tour over the lines of Transcontinental & Western Air. Gieuseppe Bellanca, the famous designer whose planes have flown across more oceans than any other, has not piloted a plane himself since 1919. Postmaster-General Brown has installed a short wave radio set in his office in Washington, so that he can listen to conversations between ground stations and planes flying on his airmail lines. Visibility was so good the other night that two pilots of Eastern Air Transport, flying 8,500 feet over Wilmington, Del., could see for 120 miles in each direction. They could see New York and all its suburbs, Trenton, Philadelphia, Camden, Wilmington, Atlantic City, Baltimore and Washington. More than $24,000,000 in bank clearings, remittances and negotiable securities arrive at Newark airport every day by air mail and last week $2,500,000 in green backs was flown on an eighteen-passenger plane of Eastern Air Transport from Philadelphia to Greensboro, N. C., to stop a bank run. The passengers on the ship didn't know the money was , aboard, and even the dispatchers and field attendants along the line : were ignorant of it. Plan 15-Minute Service Transcontinental & Western Air is making a bid for foreign passengers on its airlines, and now has both Japanese and Chinese passenger agents on its pay rolls in San Francisco. The crew of the dirigible Akron at Lakehurst, N. J., was called out to help land an airplane the other day. Pilot John Pumyea was trying to land in a sixty-five-mile wind, and the plane wouldn’t stay on the ground, so fourteen men of the airship’s crew were called out, and the second Pumyea’s plane touched earth they grabbed it and held it. The Century Airlines are planning passenger service at fifteen-minute intervals between cities of the middle west within six months, using anew secretly-built Stinson monoplane, whose makers claim it ; will cruise at 150 miles per hour. Northwest Airways has been in 1 the habit of fining its pilots SI each time an air mail pouch was mishandled, and now fines them $5 each time a pouch goes to the wrong destination. These fines will be. put in a special fund, and the money will be given to the pilot having the best record at the end of the year. The Ludington Airlines (New York-Washington) recently cut salaries of all employes 10 to 15 per cent. Clarence Chamberlin, the New York-to-Germany flier, is now testing a Packard Diesel airplane motor, flying on nine gallons of furnace oil per hour, at 5 cents per gallon. DOUBT LIFER’S GUILT Canadian Authorities Ask U. S. to Deport Coloradoan. lit/ Sorlpps-H award S ewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—Joseph B. Jones, an obscure and friendless prisoner in the Colorado State penitentiary at Canon City, serving a life term for murder, has become the subject of international negotiations to obtain his release and deportation to Canada. The Canadian government believes there is grave doubt of his guilt. Jones has been in prison sines 1924. when he received a life sentence for the slaying of Geeorgc P. Fraley, a business man of Bessemer, Colo.

BLAMES U. S. FOR HUGE LOSS TO INVESTORS Glass Declares Approval of Foreign Loans Is ‘Lawless Procedure/ BY RAY TUCKER Timet Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—With the attitude of the Harding- 1 Coolidge-Hoover administrations to-1 ward South American loans known today for the first time, Senator j Carter Glass (Dem., Va.) declared i the United States government is' "morally responsible” for an esti-! mated loss of $2,000,000,000 to American investors in these defaulted and depreciated securities.' Previous efforts to obtain this information from Henry L. Stimson, secretary of state, brought the reply that it would be incompatible with the public interest to reveal the i attitude various -dministrations j had taken toward securities now in j default or selling from $lO to S2O. J Glass, a former secretary of the j treasury, and prominent member of the senate banking and currency; committee, denounced the system of ■ government approval of foreign loans \ as "lawless procedure.” He made this comment in connec- j tion with testimony before the senate finance committee that a department of commerce warning against a Bolivian loan had been suppressed by the state department, j and an objection to Colombian issues ignored by American bankers. According to Grosvenor M. Jones, financial adviser of the department of commerce when President Hoover headed that branch of the government, he thought that most of South America, and especially Bolivia and Colombia, was “overborrowed” in late 1927 and early 1928. He issued a public notice to that effect concerning Colombia, but at

the request of the state department reluctantly consented” to approve a Bolivian issue. Since that period, however, it has been brought out that almost $K 1 0,000.000 worth of securities have been floated in the United States for both those countries. Jones admitted that American bankers engaged in keen competition for these issues. He also said that many American corporations obtained contracts for building highways and railroads with the proceeds from some of the issues on which the department of commerce frowned. The race to secure South American bonds even in the face of official discouragement occurred during the Coolidge administration when Frank B. Kellogg was secretary of state. Living bacteria can be found in bituminous coal at a depth of more than 3,000 feet, scientists say.
