& 5.5, NN LEABS IN AIRPLANE SERVICE Germen Compatis Sl Cou- b Waghington, Oct. 26 (UP)— Unuspuslly satistactory progress !5 being made ip developing a system of air mail and airplane passenger ald’ ht pervice, which eventual- ly will Jink together the 22 coun- tries of the American hemisphere, in the opinion of authorities here. As carried out to date the pro- gram has been actively sponsored by the Upited States government, and this official patronage has ad- mittedly given United States avia- tion interesty a clear lead in the race £o build up a network of air lines over the two continents. Ger- man companies are pevertheless still offering serious competition in this respect, according to reports from South America. Government sponsorship has been directed not only through the state, post office and commerce depart- ments, acting independently in their verious fields, but also through a sovernmental ecommittee consisting of Assistant Secretaries White of the State Depsrtment, Davison of the War Depsrtment, Warner of the Navy department, Bchoeneman of the Treagury department, and Mc- Cracken ef the Commere depart- ment. The state department has sought te enforce the “open door” prin- ciple throughout South America, having intervened on behalf of United States companies. upos ‘every ocoasion when it has sppesr- ed that a Latin government was about to give an exclusive mail or ‘passenger-freight contract to a Yor- eign concern. The pest office has been active 1n developing air mail routes con- necting the United BStates with Canada and with countries to fhe south, while the commerce depart- ment Bms sent experts and trade commisaioners into the lower con- tinent to study the situation and to report on South America as a mar- ket for American-made airplanes an! equipment. Vigilance Over Canal Its principal task being to keep vigilance over the Caribbean and Panama Canal regions in connec- Jtion with the national defenses, the committee of assistant secre- taries has comcerned itself primari- ly with policy matters. While on guard against the establishment of commercial or other air bases that {might threaten the Panama Canal {or some other part of the defen- sive system of the United States, the committee has sought to work out policies which at the same time would stimulate the development of aviation of a nature commerci- ally beneficial to the United States. Two of the more recent moves in the development of the air ex- pansion program have been the opening of air mail services con- necting Canada, the United States and Mexico, and the formation of The Aviation Corporation of the Americas for the announced pur- {pose of connecting “North, Central and South America with passenger and mail lines.” Of the two the latter is by far the more important.

TALKING MOVIES HITS AT MUSTAGHES Critics Say Yoioss of Unshaved Less Distint London, Oct. 26 (UP)—A ecrush- ing blow has been dealt to the mus- tache. Critics here declare that the voices of mustache and beard wear- ing actors, in talking films are less distinct than those of their clean- shaven colleagues. Tonsorial experts predict that this will be the death-knell for the mus- tache which for the last five years has been making slow but steady steps toward renewed popularity. It appears that after the war a reaction set in and mustaches and béards almost completely lost favor. The smarter set had ne time for them. The “beaver” crase ended beards.
