Receipts of the transcontinental route at the present rate should be double for 1927 what they were in 1925.

The transcontinental and New York-Chi- cago overnight services, the only Government-operated lines, will be placed in private hands early next year.. HEIFETZ TO .BE MARRIED. By the Associated Press.
