Struggle Reminiscent of Rail
road War of 1890's
Luxury and Speed Being
Used to Lure Business
KANSAS CITY. Mo. (UP) A battle
for aerial aupremacy In transconti
nental transportation, reminiscent of
the atruggle between railroad barons
of the 90s, la being waged today, with
modern, luxurious hign speed air
liners competing for the coast to coast
truffle.
The current rivalry la between the
two transcontinental airline operators,
the United Air Unes and Transcontinental-Western
Air Express, success
or to TAT.
Costly Battle
A few minutes In malting the cross
country flight, the pitch of the pro-
pellor. a new design in craft ana per
sonnel service are factors affecting
the bid for patronage. Entire fleets of
eostly planes are retired as first one
company, then the other, Jockeys into
position of leadership.
When airmail contracts were can
celled last February, airline companies
were confronted with the problem of
maintaining huge Investments chiefly
from passenger and express revenue.
They began expanding their opera
tions. The TWA route was from New
York to Los AnRclcs, via St. Louis,
Kansas City, Albuquerque. Unlted's
route from New York was through
the mldcontlnent, via Cleveland, Chi
cago, Omaha and Salt Lake City to
San Francisco.
Territory 'Invaded'
TWA with lte new fleet of Douglas
planes recently started an aggressive
campaign to take United' bualness
by Invading the Chicago terminal
from Kansas City-Chicago-New York
business. Previously, this had been
Unlted's "exclusive" territory. Into
what had been TWA's exclusive field,
United ran a schedule Into Phlladel
phla. The next sector In this battle
may be in the coast division, it
reported that TWA will invade the
San Francisco route from Window,
Ariz.
Officials anticipate that this battle
will, develop fully before the Inter-
state commeroe commission, acting
under authority granted by the laat
congress to regulate alr-linea. Inter
cedes. Hearings have been scheduled
In Washington next month, but con
trol over these two companies la sev
eral months in the future.
Mammoth Resource
The resources of the two antag
onists are huge. TWA la controlled by
General Motors corporation headed by
the aggressive Alfred P. Sloan. Richard
W. Robblns Is president of Transcon-tlnental-Western-Alr-Express.
Behind
United Is the National City Bank In
terests and W. A. Patterson, himself a
banker, Is president.
None cares to predict the outcome
of this rivalry but aviation leaders
are certain It will mean progress in
the industry. In Chicago, for Instance.
Wiley Post, the globe flier, tested
equipment for stratosphere flights by
heavler-than-alr craft. Some believe
the next step will be stratosphere air
transport routes maintained at alt!
tudes over 30.000 feet with air-tight
passenger cabins and at high speed.
Meanwhile, competition to clip
minutes from the schedules between
ships, continues at an amazing pace,
