o g b - TOLD BY OFFICIAL Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Traces Letter From Pacific Coast. Washington's lack of a municipal air- port and dependence upon Bolling Field | was emphasized by Irving Glover, Sec- ond Assistant Postmaster General in charge of the air mall service in 8| radio talk over station WMAL Friday night, under the auspices of the Cham- ber of Commeree during which he de- | scribed the flight of a letter from the | Pacific Coast to Washington, Illustrative of the remarkable ex- n of the air mail service, which 1 Glover explained is another reason | ar why Washington should have one of the greatest municipal airports in the world, he said that in 1919, the first year of operation, only 17,000 pounds of mail were carried in ai “That is just a day’s business now, he added, “as records show that 517,000 » | cipal airport at Salt Lake City. There pounds of mail were carried last April alone.” Mr. Glover told the radio audience he held in his hand a letter recently mailed by air from San Jose, Calif., 47 miles south of San Francisco, and then he described its flight eastward to New York and Washingten. Lands Through Courtesy. After stopping en route at great municipal airports on the trans-conti- mental flight, the air mail plane landed at Bolling Field, he explained, through the courtesy of the War Department be- cause the city has no field of its own. | He expressed the hope, however, that some day Washington would have the greatest airport in the world. Washington's strategic sition on the gir mail map, he declared, empha- sizes the necessity of locating a great | municipal airport in the District and | he expressed the belief that one would soon be established. It is now possible, he explanied, to send a letter by air| Jendo, Peru, and soon as far as Santiago, Chile. Washington is one of the stop stations on the South American and West Indies route, he said, and development of this service would mean | much to_the city. Mr. Glover pictured the transcon- tinental route taken by the letter mailed | from San Jose. He described the flight | to San Francisco, thence to Reno, where | | the mail plane made a quick stop for | | gas and ofl, coasting on to_the muni- | mail from Montreal, Canada, to Mol- | S, connections are made with the air THE SUNDAY STAR,” WASHINGTON, 'D.

Taking off from Salt Lake City the plane reaches an altitude of 13,000 feet over the great hump of the Rockies and coasts into the night to Cheyenne, where it connects with the routes to Pueblo, Colorado S| ;mxs h:em Denveor‘,” From Cheyenne the plane passes o the fleld at yNm't.l‘l Platte, Nebr., and to the municipal field at Omaha, where a change of ships is made. The flight to Chicago is made by night and into the breaking of dawn as the ship lands at Cicero Field at 5:45 am. There mail is thrown off to the St. Louls lines | which extend as far South as Browns- | ville, Tex., and connect with planes hooking up Mexico City.
