Phoenix - Los Angeles Air Service to Start with Planes'Delivery
LOS ANGELES, June. 1. -(A.P.)- Daily airplane travel between Los Angeles, Phoenix , El Paso and Fort Worth will be effective as soon as the Fokker airplane factory can deliver the necessary planes to the Aero Corporation of California at Los Angeles, according to an announcement of the proposed air line was made less than a month ago, when the Los Angeles distributors for the Fokker company revealed their intention of making a strong big for transcontinental air travel.
Jack Frye, president of the organization, and prominent in Pacific coast flying circles, has been in the east for the last two weeks completing arrangements with the factory for delivery of the 10 or more cabin shops that will be required to inaugurate the service.
Frye has selected the Fokker universal monoplane as the type to be used on the airline according to a telegram received from him today, Craddick stated. The plane is a single-motored domel of the type used by Byrd when he circled the North Pole. The motor will be the same model used by Lindburgh in his trans-Atlantic flight and by the Bellanca monoplane in its world endurance record flight recently.

Bertaud Takes Mean Crack At Bellanca Feat
(Associated Press Leased Wire)
Cleveland, O., June 6. - Lloyd Bertaud, Cleveland air mail pilot who was once scheduled to make the trans-Atlantic flight with Clarence Chamberlin, in a formal statement here tonight declared that "the sloppy navigation of the Chamberlin-Levine flight to Germany had done more to the point out to the public the really excellent job Captain Lindbergh did than anything else could have done."
Bertaud declared he was not "sore" because of his differences with Charles Levine, sponsor of the flight, which prevented his making the trip. 
The air mail pilot declared "the fact they went a few hundred miles farther than Lindbergh does not mean much of anything."
"And whereas Lindbergh did a splendid job of navigating, they wobbled all over Europe."
Bertaud said when Lindbergh landed in Paris he gave up all planes for a trans-Atlantic flight. He believed the flight should have been delayed until Lindbergh returned to America and received the plaudits of the American people.
"It would have been better for aviation - better sportmanship, better for all concerned. Lindbergh was entitled to all the glory," he said. He called attention to the sportsmanlike manner in which Commander Richard Byrd gave us his plans for a trans-Atlantic flight. 
"I believe Chamberlin's flight is a great accomplishment, though unfortunate because it was made at this particular time," Bertaud said.

Phoenix Real Estate Board Will Urge Civic Bodies' Co-operation Toward Promotion Of Airport Here
Co-operation of other civic organizations in the promotion of Phoenix as an airport will be sought by the Phoeniz Real Estate board, Robert Hunsick, president of the board, said at the meeting of the organization yesterday when he announced the appointment of the realty committee which will sponsor aviation matters. The committee consists of J. M. Kellogg, chairman, Webb Griffin, Milton P. Smith, Harry Lane, W. J. Burns and Major Howard Wehrle, honorary and advisory member.
One of the first steps of the new committee will be to invite other civic organizations to take part in a general movement to interest the citizens in the value of boosting Phoenix as an airport and making effort to develop air travel by the Phoenix route. Mr. Kellogg, as chairman of the committee, said that plans of the committee will be announced after the members hold a meeting. 
Mayor Jefferson, secretary of the board, announced that "Know Your City" day would be observed at the second meeting in July. At that session, each realtor will be required to answer 20 questions concerning the city and the Valley.
The program for the day consisted of a discussion of publicity with Leonard M. Cowley of the Lane-Smith Investment company and chairman of the publicity committee of the realty board, serving as chairman. Ed Harrington, news editor of The Arizona Republican, spoke on how realtors can co-operate with the [[missing text]]spapers in the dissemination [[missing text]]curate realty news. Clif[[missing text]]erill, real estate editor of [[missing text]]zona Gazette, urged the realtors to assist the newspapers in the development of their real estate news sections. 
Eben E. Lane, who recently returned from Chicago, made a short talk in which he reported that people in the middlewest were showing great interest in the Valley. Business conditions in the farming sections and the automotive sections were now such as to make this a proper time to induce friends in the middlewest to come to the Salt River Valley, Mr Lane said.
Franklin D. Lane, head of the realty office bearing his name, who returned to Phoenix recently after spending four years in California, was introduced. "This is the finest country I have seen in four years," he said. 
Details of the trip to Seattle for the annual convention of the National Association of Real Estate Boards were explained by Secretary Jefferson. He reported that several members from Phoenix planned to motor to Seattle and others would make the trip by train.

San Diego Firm Received Orders for 22 Monoplanes For Frisco-Honolulu Hop
Twenty-two Ryan monoplanes, similar in design to that flown by Capt. Charles Lindbergh from New York to Paris, have been ordered by birdmen planning to make the Pacific hop from San Francisco to Honolulu later this summer, according to information brought to Phoenix yesterday by D. W. Campbell, of the San Diego chamber of commerce committee on public defense, who landled on the Phoenix [[n]]aviation field in the "Pride of San Diego," sister ship to Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis," on his way to Washington. 
With him was Frank Hawks, of Houston, Tex., owner of the "Pride of San Diego," who explained that, when building special ships for particularly important flights such as that accomplished by Lindbergh, it is customary for airplane manufacturers to build in duplicate, so that precious time may not be wasted, if the trial flights prove that spare parts are needed. Hence the "Pride of San Diego." 
Mr. Campbell and Mr. Hawk are carrying to Washington the greetings of the city of San Diego to Lindbergh at the official reception to be tendered to him when he disembarks from the United States cruiser Memphis on which he is now homebound. They had planned, they said, to fly over Phoenix, making Tucson their first stop on their way to El Paso and eastward, until induced by Maj. Howard P. Wehrle, of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce aeronautical committee, to land here. Incidentally Major Wehrle has been quietly trying to induce Lindbergh to stop here on his return flight to San Diego. 
Both agreed, at Major Wehrle's instance, to use their influence with Captain Lindbergh to stop here on his return transcontinental flight from Washington to his starting point at San Diego, where the Pacific coast reception planned for him will rival that awaiting him at Washington. 
"The trip to Phoenix from San Diego," Hawks said, "was mare in exactly three hours and 10 minutes flat. The weather was perfect and we haven't an unusual incident to report." 
Leaving Phoenix at 2:55 p.m., an Associated Press dispatch brought word that the "Pride of San Diego" had covered the 125 airline miles to Tucson in 65 minutes, landing at 4 p.m. Carrying Tucson greetings in the form of a letter from Mayor John E. White, entrusted to Campbell, the plane was due to hop off from Tucson for El Paso at 5 a.m. today. 
El Paso had not heard at 8 o'clock yesterday evening of the change in Hawks' flying plans, which originally had contemplated an overnight stop at that city instead of Tucson. Another Associated Press dispatch reported that city officials were preparing to light flares, in case a night landing was attempted. 
At Houston, Tex., next stop after El Paso, Hawks intends to pick up his bride, who will make the remainder of the flight with him to Washington.
 Speaking of the aviation future of Phoenix, Hawks said before leaving that it has excellent possibilities but needs enlargement. 
"Get your Chamber of Commerce aviation committee," he advised, "to work immediately or, better still, emply the best aviation talent you can get to do nothing else but work on advancing Phoenix as one of the nation's logical airports.
"We had no difficulty in sighting the field here, before circling the city and returning to make our landing. It gratified us to find that out request for fuel and oil had been fulfilled in such satisfactory fashion, for much valuable time can be lost when such necessaries supplies have not been provided in advance. 
"My ship," he continued, "is identical with that of Lindbergh, except for the extra gas tanks he carried and the periscope which their position made necessary. The Ryan company has discontinued manufacturing small type ships and is now concentrating on four-passenger cabin planes, for these and still larger types will be the ships of the future."
Railroads use about 130,000,000 new wooden ties every year.
Five million trees are cut annually to maintain telegraph and telephone poles.
Snakes travel quickly on land and can swim even more readily in any depth of fresh water by a remarkable adaptation of the bones of the spinal column.
