Nat. 3066-3067 QD ) % AIRLINE EXPANSION IS SET FOR APRIL 1 Capital to Profit by 10,750 Additional Flying Miles Each 24 Hours. One of the greatet single expansions in airmail and passenger routes in the history of commercial aviation in the United States is to take effect April 1, when new schedules which will require 10,750 miles of additional flying each 24 hours will be added to the existing national network. The National Capital will benefit from the expansion program through the establishment of a new line from Richmond, Va., to Jacksonville, Fla., connecting at both points with the ex- isting New York-Miami mail-passenger line. The new route will cut nearly five hours from the flying time between the Capital and Florida. No Additional Cost. The expansion of service is to be un- dertaken at no added cost to the Post Office Department, it was announced last night. This is possible because of the agreement among airmail contrac- tors, following a recent meeting at the Post Office Department, to reduce the rates to be paid them by the Government for flying the mails. The agreement involved reductions in pay totaling ap- proximatly $2,000,000 a year. The reduced rates will become effec- tive April 1 and the saving will be par- tially taken up in the extension of existing routes. Under present schedules the operat- ing carriers are providing 64,805 miles of airmail and passenger service each 24 hours under contract with the Post Office Department. This does not in- clude 10,000 additional miles of exclu- sive passenger service flown daily. On April 1 the amount of daily flying by planes carrying Uncle Sam’'s mail will be increased to 85,555 miles daily. Four large airmail operators are con- cerned in the new schedules. They are to furnish the following additional ser- vice: National Air Transport, one round trip between New York and Chicago: one round trip between Cleveland and Chicago, and two round trips between Chicago and Kansas City, a total of 3,936 additional miles daily. Eastern Air Transport, one round trip between Richmond and Jacksonville by way of Raleigh, N. C., Florence, S. C., and Savannah, Ga., a total of 1,166 ad- ditional miles daily. Trans-American Airlines Corporation, formerly the Thompson Aeronautical Corporation, four round trips between Chicago and Detroit &nd six round trips between Detroit and Cleveland, 1,588 miles. Boeing Air Trans , now operating two round trips daily between Chicago and San Prancisco, will add an addi- tional trip daily involving 4,060 miles. The new services, according to W. Irving Glover, Assistant Postmaster General in charge of airmail, will prove for the first time in the history of avia- tion, a through airmail-passenger serv- ice, with tri-motored planes, between the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts. The west- bound schedule permits mail or passen- gers to leave New York at 9 anm. and arrive In San Prancisco at 1:18 p.m. the next day. Eastbound, the passen- ger leaves San Francisco at 12:45 p.m., arriving in New York at 7:24 p.m. the next day. Greatly Improved Service. “With the additional service to be provided it will place the United States far ahead of all European countries combined in airmail-passenger service,” the Post Office De ent announced. The new schedule will provice direct service between the National Capital and Florida over the new route for air- mail and passengers. The southbound plane out of Washington will connect at Richmond with two planes, one go- ing south by way of Atlanta, the other over the new cut-off. The cut-off plane will leave Richmond at 12:40 pm., arriving in Jacksonville at 6:40 p.m. The northbound plane is to leave Jacksonville at 8:20 a.m., arriving in the Capital at about 3:40 p.m. Later, as soon as work now being undertaken by the Airways Division, Department of Commerce, is completed, night airmail service will be added over the cut-off route. This work involves ' installation of airways beacon:, lighted intermediate landing fields and other | aids to air navigation. The inter- mediate fields have been graded and' prepared for daylight use. BOARD OF Y. W. C. A. WILL HEAR REPORTS Devotional Bervice to Follow Busi- ness Session to Be Held Thursday.
