GROCERIES Larp'Qalnllls j w FLYER'S DEATH NOT IN VAIN Chicago The reckless aerial acro batics with which Omar Locklear startled the world uatil they re sulted in his death recently in Cal ifornia have not been in vain, ac cording to air mail service officials here, for they report Locklear's "ctnnh;)' how nnened the way .for important developments in- commer cial aviation. Locklear's stunt of changing from one plane to another several thous and feet above the earth will be ni i n thp air service and by commercial aviation companies in changing sacks of mail, packages or pilots from one ship to another, thus enabling, aerial liners to make long journeys without landing, officials say. Some believe that within a short time airplanes may even take gasoline and supplies in the air. When one of the mammoth air planes which aviators believe soon will be common fliers over the con trol station, a smaller plane will come up to meet it, the officials explain, and, by means of .a rope, mail sacks or other packages will be lowered from the large to' the small planes. "Rv means of a lone hook the large ship will take on baggage from the smaller ship and speed up to his des tination. Eventually it is expected that this plan will be perfected so that fuel supplies can be transferred from one plane to another, making a non stop coast to coast trip possible. Pilots will change planes in mid air by, means of a rope ladder low ered from one machine to another, just as Locklear did, it is explained. The. government has been conduct ing tpsts alone- this line for some time, officials here say, and one commercial aviation company is re ported to be planning to put the scheme into effect within a few months in transferring mail.

Reports to the branch federal reserve bank here frnm local members indicate a strong investment demand for Liberty bonds and Victory notes by the general miblic. In two instances large banks reported that they were over sold and obliged to purchase small lots of Liberty bonds from other banks to supply the demand. The issues in demand, according to figures supplied the Federal Reserve Bank, are those paying VA and 4 per cent interest. Apparently there is no active market for bonds of the 3 per cent or notes of the 34 per cent issues. Bank transactions show the demand for Liberties came chiefly from small investors who have taken advantage of the attractive market prices of Lihertv bonds and Victory notes and intend to hold the securities until maturity. This seems to apply also in other cities of the Twelfth Fed eral Reserve District on the basis of reports made by local banks to the federal reserve bank branches and to the Federal Reserve Bank itself in San Francisco. "To summarize the local situation here," according to an official of the Federal Reserve Bank, "there are more buyers than sellers of bonds of the 'smaller denominations." Despite recessions in the Eastern markets, unprecedented in years as far as industrial stocks and bonds are concerned, Liberty bonds and Vic tory notes are holding well to pre vious levels, bmall investors throughout the country are apparent ly benefitting by the experience of those who lost their money in wild cat stocks of various descriptions and are more and more contenting themselves with the absolute safety and security of Liberty bonds which,' in several instances, are paying from K to HV tier cant lit nrpannf. ma-rtot prices, while Victory notes are yield ing as high as 6 per cent.
