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.

TERMED TOP HATER
OF SUPREME
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.. Nov. 17.
(AP) Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace described Thomas
Jefferson "In a speech today as
greater hater of the supreme court
than any president before or since.
Speaking at the University of Vir
ginia, founded by Jefferson, Wallace
said that "one of the first moves of
the Jeffersonlans when coming into
power was to unpack the teaera
courts which had been packed by
Adams with aristocratic federalists
Just before Jefferson came Into
power."
"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.
As an educator, Wallace said, Jef
ferson believe 1 "educated farmers
were the -tuff out of which democ
racy could be built. To that faith
Jefferson gave most of his life."
As a believer in democracy, "he
displayed his faith in the capacities
of the common men to govern them
selves in the light of the Tacts
around them," Wallace said.

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. Armstrong em
