MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OR EC! ON. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1937. PAGE FIVE WORLD ROUTES FOR AIR LINES Pacific Link Is Tentatively Chartered to Asia Via the Aleutian Islands Trans Atlantic Service Nears Lunatic Disturbs Armistice Ceremony LONDON (UP) The greateat fly ing network In the world la envis ioned for Great Britain, perhapa within a few years. Imperial Airways r has a mandate from the government r to complete a chain of air routes around the globe. The plan la for London' to be the hub. with air links branching out to all corners of tbe empire, across Europe and Asia to Australia, over the Atlantic to Montreal, thence to Vancouver and on across the "top of the world" to Hongkong and Singapore. Pioneering of the Atlantic route In conjunction with Pan-American Airways Is only the first step In an ambitious plan to run the line over the top of the world and on to a Junction with, the England-Australian service at Singapore. Thua Australia and New Zealand would get their Canadian mall direct by air. Pacific Bases Lacking. '- While Creat Britain controls the air bases for the Atlantic service, with the exception of the Portuguese Azores Bermuda being a key point even for the southern route Ameri ca controls the essential Pacific bases particularly Hawaii. Although they V ave a working agreement for the Atlantic with Pan-American Airways, the British wish to avoid Honolulu on the Pacific service. So they are now planning to pioneer a route by wav of Alaska and the Aleutian chain of islands stretching across the top of the world from the Ameri can towsrd the Asiatic continent. It has been discovered that there la a warm current, something like the Gulf Btream of the Atlantic, running around the Aleutian Islands which makes the establishment o: an air base there practicable. Estab tabllshment of this service Is only a matter of study now. The immediate objective la estab lishment of regular service across the North Atlantic, and then con tinuing the route on across the Ca nadian :ontinent. By the trans-Canada service, Montreal will be brought within 17 hours of Vancouver by a dally service designed to link up with the Atlantic service. Overnight Mall Service, It Is expected that a bi-weekly service across the North Atlantic will be In operation early next year, and within two years this may be a dally service. That would mean ,i that a letter posted in London late In the afternoon could be delivered In New York and Montreal next morning, partly due to the time dif ferences between the old and new worlds. For the time being the Imperial Airways Is concentrating upon mall and express freight for the Atlantic service, leaving passenger traffic to be arranged later. Pan-American Air ways, however, Is expected to estab lish passenger traffic across the North Atlantic aooner. Although the Alaskan - Aleutian service Is little more than an Idea. British aviation experts believe that within a few yeare Great Britain win have the greatest chain of air serv ices In the world. BENSON TO 'DECORATE FOR DANCE AT OREGON IfNTVERSTTV OP OREGON.

"As a result of the unpacking ef fort." he said, "Jefferson was ac cused In the most violent terms ol wanting to destroy the federr 1 Judic iary and subject all things to his will." The secretary spoke in connection with the 76th anniversary of the establishment of the land grant col lege system and the United States department of agriculture.

CITRUS CROP NETS DESPITEFREEZE California-Arizona Fruits Bring $102,828,425 for Year, Off Only 2.7 Per Cent On Smaller Output PORTLAND, Nov. 17. Suffer ing from a heart attack. Father E. P. Murphy, first president of the Uni versity of Portland and a World war chaplain, was near death today In St. Vincent's hospital. LOS ANGELES (Spl.) Despite the most serious freeze loss ever experien ced, the California-Arizona citrus in dustry market 67.563 carloads of oranges, lemons and grapefruit for an f .o.b. return to the two states of ti03.838.425 for the year ended Octo ber 31, Qeneral Manager Paul S. Arm strong reported to the directors of the California Fruit Growers Exchange here. C. C. Teague. national agricultural leader, was for the 18th consecutive year elected president of the 45 -year old cooperative marketing organisation. Returns to Exchange shippers amounted to 983,504,339. which was only 3.7 per cent leas than In the previous year for 33.7 per cent less fruit. The Exchange marketed 70.6 per cent of all shipments, the highest pcrcentago In Its history. Advertising Extensive Through rigid economies, the Ex change was able to balance Its bud get and operate well within the nor mal retain. Average cost for the com plete marketing service, except ad vertising, was 6.68 cents a box and In cluding advertising and district ex change the entire cost was 3.31 per cent of gross sales compared to 35 iti the large crop year of 1936. Curtailed by the freeze. Exchange advertising amounted to $1,311,819, bringing the total advertising Invest ment for the past 30 years to 34. 453 043, which Is .1.13 per cent of the delivered value of the fruit. During that period orange consumption has Increased 3 times and lemons 34 per cent. Drinking of orange Juice, Introduced and fostered by the Ex change, now accounts for two-thirds of the crop. Freight and refrigeration took $38. 799.369, which brought the delivered carload value of the crop In the mar kets to $131,627,793. Returns Widely Divided "Few realize how widely the returns from such a crop are distributed and what proportion goes for labor and for materials and services furnished by other industries," Armstrong said, indicating that at least half of the freight cost goes directly to wages and that $30,000,000 went to grove and packing house workers, orchard sup plies took 33 million and packing house supplies anotner iu minion, tit rower returns varied widely. since those who saved their crops through orchard heating spent a sub stantial part of lta value in aoing so," said Armstrong, who estimated that $6,000,000 was spent for fuel and labor to protect the crop and that 36.000 cara of fruit were lost from shipment. By-Produrts Developed Returns were Increased and trade and consumer confidence was ma terially maintained by the Industry program of properly segregating good from damaged fruit and the local packing associations and their work ers deserve credit for their handling of thla tremendous problem, Arm strong said. In this connection, the citrus X ray machine, which reveals Interior quality without cutting the fruit and was developed In Exchange laborator ies, proved vaHiable, he added. By-products outlets gave much of the frown fruit some value. Orower- owned orange and lemon products plants paid members almost 1 mil lions during the season. The 1937 California canned orange Juice pack was estimated at IVi mil lion cases and lemon Juice at 150,000 to 300,000 cases, itlll relatively small quantities. The report shows an actual charge- off on collection of $130 on the 83 'i million business, with credits for col lections previously written off of $1, 534, a tribute to the Integrity of the fruit trade and the efficiency of Ex change salesmen.
