The National yCapital's list of air- plane commutersy Who use their own airplanes to go and from work or for regular busindss travel, has been swelled by the addition of A. Felix du Pont, Jjr., junlnrrtglflne dispatcher and ticket agent for the Ludington Line at ‘Washington-Hoover Airport. Du Pont uses his cabin monop¥ane to | travel back and farth between the air- port and his home in Wilmingtan, Del., several days each week. His schedule calls for two 12-hour days of work here | then a day off, which he spends at home. On mornings after his day off he rises early, hops into his plane and is at work at the a¥rport in as short a time as if he ware comamuting by auto from nearby Ma tyland or Virginia. Du Pont’s brother \William is another commuter who visits \the Capital fre- quently on his way balck and forth be- tween Wilmington and the University of Virginia, at Charlot.\esville, where he is a student. He, toy, flles his own plane, and makes the trip back and forth whenever his sahedule at the university permits. Others Fly to Work. Angus Echolson, an official of the| du Pont plant at Wilm Ington, also is| a frequent visitor through ‘the Capital, fiving to Charlottesville ¥egularly to visit his brother, a prcifessor in the University of Virginia.
