As Genera] Francisco Franco's Since that time the 90-mile line has grown to over 40,000, said to be by far the most extensive on the globe. Next largest at present is “Air France”, which covers 24,- 000 miles of lines. Pan American mow operates more than twice as much airways mileage as all the domestic lines within the United States combined. From the handful of men hand- ling Pan American's small opera-j| tions here nine years ago, the per- sonnel has increased to more than 3,400. These are stationed in| ports large and small, in the West | Indies, Central and South Ameri-| ea, Alaska, China, on isolated mid- pacific bases between Cal:fornia and -the Philippines, in the New “York executive headquarters and in traffic offices on major cities} throughout the United States. In Miami alone, chief operating base of the “mother division” 500 peo- ple ‘are employed. The litte 90-mile air line, which made its initial flight from this city nine years ago today, now serves 38 countries and colonies of the western hemisphere and spans the Pacific to the Orient. At its start Pan American’s fleet was only three tri-motored Fokker transports. There are now} 142 airliners in operation and they have flown a total of more thanj 205,000,000 passenger miles. A! total of 124 grand radio control : stations guide these vast opera- tions and the system has achieved ! the remarkable reliability record | of 99.93 percent of scheduled flights completed.

SILI LII SI DSI ST: INDIRECT TAX ISSUE IS TOPIC OF DISCUSSION QUESTION OF DIRECT AND ALSO INDIRECT ASSESS- MENTS NOW! CONFRONTING VARIOUS STATES By PRESTON GROVER (By Asnocinted Presny WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Pub- licly there is a veritable moral crusade against that suddenly aw- ful thing, the indirect tax. Priv- ately, however, those tax experts: who for years have sweated to find new sources of revenue to pay for the ever increasing load of benefits foresee indirect taxes con- tinuing into the long distant fu- ture. The question of direct or indi- rect taxation is not one which con- cerns only congress, The states as ‘well are brought persistently face bl : jto fa¢e.with the question of wheth-| down: bus with six fascists from Lord in large groups if the record er to clap on a tax that every vot-/Talavera to Toledo.
