Aviation Shrinks
Globe; Strides in
Past Year Noted
Culver
By Churles Corddry
(UniUsd Frees Aviation Writer)
Washington, Jan. 3 UP Avia
tion in 1949 shrank the globe for
the military men, won the battle
of Berlin tor the western diplo
mats and transported more Just
plain people than ever before.
The airplane, unborn as the
20th century opened, had become
truly indispensable as the firs!
half of the century as some sci
entists reckon it closed.
To the military men the air
plane meant a nonstop flight
around the world 23,452 miles in
94 hours with all the implica
tions the flight had for future
warfare. . '
In the cold war with Russia, It
meant that the western allies
could not be dislodged from Ber
lin mnrnlv hv lnnri blockade. It
meant 2,322,242 tons of supplies
transported by American and
British planes in 276,122 flights
over the top of the ground-based
Russian blockade.
May Use Planes
To the traveling public, the air
plane meant 25,000,000 persons
70,000 passengers per day fly
ing hither and yon aboard some
60 world airlines. United States
air carriers alone transported an
estimated 16,500,000 passengers,
as safely as ever before, and fast
er. An airline touched off one of
the greatest m.iitary controver
sies of 1949. The airplane was the
air force's B-36 supcrbomber. The
controversy over the theory of
warfare It represents gradually
developed Into a full-fledged navy
challenae to the whole question
of unification of the armed ser
vices,
One clear fact to emerge from
the unification uproar was that
the airnlane is the dominant fac
tor in modern war; the generals
and admirals are waging their
fight over the means of using it.
Tragedies Revealed
Aviation had its terrible mo
ments In 1949. The worst disaster
In air transDort history occurred
here In November when a P-38
fighter-type airplane destined for
the Bolivian government collided
with an Eastern Air lines passen
ger plane. Fifty-five persons died.
And the aviation world lost one
of Its beloved figures when Bill
Odom, the celebrated round-the-world
record holder, died in the
Thompson trophy race at the Sep
tember rClevelund national air
races. , r
The most significant develop
ment In passenger transportation
in 1949 was the spread of nircoach
service. Between many points, the
traveler today, for the first time,
can f iy cheaper than he can ride
' a railroad coach. I rom modest be
ginnings between New York and
Chicago the aircoach now spans
the continent.
Block Ink Year
. It was a black ink year for the
airlines. A net operating profit
of S44.830.248 was expected. It
was a profitable year, too, for
the aircraft manufacturing Indus-ti-v.
which turned out approxi
mately 6,200 airplanes for a sales
volume of si, (uu.uuo.wu. i ne mil
itary services bought somewhat
fewer than half the planes but ac
counted tor an overwhelming por
tion of the sales volume.
Abroad, a threat to both the air
lines and the manufacturers was
beins built In British and uana-
dian plants the 500 mile an hour
Jet transport plane. In 1950, this
country will have to decide how to
meet tne British on the Jut-trans
port flold.
Three significant developments
in the air defense realm In 1949
were the $30,000,000 start on a
vast air engineering development
center at (Jamp fcorrest. Tulla
homa, Tenn.; tne beginnings of
a railar warning system In the
United States proper and Alaska
at a cost of $0,000,000, and the
start of a joint long range prov
ing ground for guided missiles at
the tormer Banana river naval
air station, Fla., with un initial
outlay of $12,000,000.
Fast Time Made

DOLLY GOES TO CHURCH After a little girl came to the vicar
of St. Botolph's Church, "Northfleet, England, and asked him to
have her doll "christened," he thought it would be a good Idea to
hold a service especially for children and their dolls. Here Is the
first "Doll Sunday," with the dolls sitting sedately in the pews as
their young mistresses pray.

Washington, Jan. 3 (' More
than 1,000,000 Americans were
treated In hospitals this year for
what the U. S. public health serv
ice calls America s No. 1 public
health problem" mental Illness.
i-iatl ol all hospital beds were
occupied by psychiatric patients.
rne number of patients would
nave neen mgher, but mental
wards and institutions -already
were crammed to the walls. Some
patients slept two to a bed or on
the floor. Every institution had
a waiting list. The overflow In
many states was handled in Jails.

life In a mental Institution. Today
the national mental health bill is
$200,000,000. By 1956 it will be
4250,000,000.
Official statistics show menial
disease is increasing. But psy
chiatrists, government and pri
vate, say the figures do not mean
the United Slates is "going
crazy."
Diagnosis Better
There is no proof, according lo
the authorities, that war or ten
sions of modern life have ma
terially boosted the insanity rale.
The biggest single factor In the
higher figures seems to be the
belter diagnosis and facilities of
modern medicine. Cases that
once would have been Ignored
now are Identified ns mental ill
ness and treated.
Urbanization has had Us effect.
Mentally disturbed persons who
would not harm themselves or
others In rural areas must be
confined In cities. The population
Is growing older --and mental Ill
ness Increases with age. And peo
ple are more willing to accept
treatment for themselves and relatives.
Accurate facts and figures on
mental disease are still more dif
ficult to get than In almost any
other field. Even (he federal gov.
ernmont docs not have complete,
up-to-date information.
Many Patients
The most recent survey, lust
completed by the U. S. public
health service, shows that at tne
end of 1917 there were 675 000
patients in 931 mental hospitals,
public and private. Another 4ti5.
000 patients received treatment
sometime during the year and
were dismissed from the hos
pitals. The number of patients who
remained uncured was two ror
rent more than a year before.

They're too good-looking top much fun
