"PAGE SEVEN Aviation Is Here to Stay, Says Expert Harry Craft The Brothers Craft, Twins Roy and . lanea today and headed for the south. The twins are enthusiastic travel er, each having toured Europe, and sow Kid Brother Harry has suc cumbed to the urge to see alien lands. While Roy and Ray were hit ting for San Francisco by motorcar with Angus Bowmer, head of the drama department at Southern Ore gon Normal school In Ashland, Harry was winging his way to Mexico City, capital of the land of bull fights, revolutions and afternoon siestas. The Craft Brothers follow tne same paths closely. Besides being ardent travelers, they are all news paper men. Harry conducts an avia tion column for the Scripps League newspapers and that Is. why he is headed for Mexico. It seems that Pan-American Air ways is Inaugurating bigger and bet ter planes on Its service from lx Angeles to Mexico City to encourage winter vacations In the Central American republic. As no Inaugura tion la complete nowadays without the presence of newsmen, Pan-American decided to play host to the scribes so that they might see tor themselves what there la for tourists to see In Mexico. As Pan-American does not operate up this way, United Air Lines became co-host to north west newspapermen. So late yesterday afternoon Brother Harry arrived from Seattle on a United airliner en route to Los Ange les and Mexico City. With him were Oerry Weaver, aviation editor of the Oregonlan in Portland. George Rus sell of the News Tribune In Tacoma, Wash., and Aubrey Roberts of the Province In Vancouver, B. C. Twins Roy and Ray arranged a prese Interview with Brother Harry who has become an authority on aviation. So in the ten minutes the plane was In port, Harry gave his views on air transportation. "You can quote me as saying." said Brother Harry, "that aviation is here to stay. The Industry nas made remarkable strides, all lor ward, but It Is still in lu Infancy. When it gets out of Its infancy, it is going to go places and so am I." Taking a sweeping glance around the Medford airport Brother Harry declared: "Medford has a fine air port. In fact It might be called a key airport on the west coast. To be sure. It looks kind of small when you look down at It from l'J.oou feet, but when you land you see that It Is more thsn ample. I've seen many an airport In my day, but none Is more Ideally situated than your municipal plant. "X don't hesitate In saying that airplane travel is bound to increase by leaps and bounds. Coming gene rations will travel In no other way. Vou can put that down as Harry Craft's prophecy." The newspaper plane had an ex cellent crew. Pilot waa Herschel Laughlin. one of the best. His co pilot waa none other 'than Rube Wagner, Unlted's chief pilot for the northwest division. It waa thought that Mr. Wagner was selected espec ially for the newspaper special; then again hla presence might merely have been a oo-incident. Stewardess for the trip was Mary Oarvls, one of the most petite on the line. cJhe made the newspaper boys feel right at home and they in turn made her fee) right at home. Twins Roy and Ray had planned to have the Elks band play a wel come for Brother Harry, but no one knew precisely when the plane would arrive, because of fog in Seattle. So that part of the program had to be cancelled. Nevertheless the Twins had a slseable reception committee on hand. P. S-: AH Banwell, Medford's pre mier aviation enthusiast, was unable to attend the reception. At the last moment he was tied up by John Doerr, Jr., the natural naturalist who held AH speiibound while he explained Just what makes the blue water of Crater lake blue. 5.JELL CHRISTMAS SHOW COMING The - Capital Parade (Continued from Page Una) House was surprised when the Presi dent launched Into a full twenty minutes of angry eloquence against the system by which new securities are sold In this country. It was the President's thesis that, if the securities dealers had an atom of sense, new securities could easily be floated, even In the present bad times. The incident gave an Inter esting measure of the degree to which the administration tends to regard the stock market not as a business barometer, but as a business standpoint.

D. Heine man, is a suave, quiet Belgian whose extreme shrewdness has given him the reputation of being the cleverest bargain hunter among European fin anciers. Something of his method Of doing bulsness may be gathered from the fact that nls properties in Barcelona are Incorporated In Canada as the Barcelona Traction Light and Power company, while another in conspicuous Canadian concern, the Mexican Light and Power company. Is the repository of his Mexican hold ings. While American utilities executives sre twittering with fear for the fu ture, the shrewd Mr. Helnemsn seems to have concluded that the buslnww has hit the bottom In this country. About a year ago, Softna quietly ac quired a 3.4 per cent interest in the Middle West corporation, a Chicago utilities holding company which ranks with the largest. Oddly enough, the stock was picked up at a bargain from the reconstruction finance corporation. That was Sofina's and M. Heine man's first investment In the United States. As a consequence of It. Charles K. Wilmers, a previously un known Engllshmsn. went on Middl West's board of directors as Sofina's representative.

PERILS LIFE TRYING TO SAVE DOG LOS ANGELES. Dec. a. (API A woman, trying to rescue her dog from the sticky pitch of the histori cal La Brea tar flats, where primeval nnlmali. were sucked down to death thousands of years ago. fell Into the black ooze today and had aunk to her armpits before she was rescued. The woman. Mrs. Alice Harrla, 40, was frantic and screaming when a park foreman and a crew of laborers reached her. The foreman, Sam War ren, grasped her wrlats. The rescue crew worked for several minutes pry ing her loose from the death grip of the tar. Her dog was not found. Use Mall Tribune want ads. It had been expected that the mat ter would end there, but M. Heine man suddenly appeared In this coun try late last summer and began ne tletlona with New York and Chicago banks for more Middle Went stock. Just before the stock market eraah, arrangements for the transfer of working control of Middle West to Soflna had been completed. The crash, which knocked the bottom out of the Middle West stock price, upset the arrangements. Now it Is understood that Heine man and Soflna will, return to the charge, this time with the Intention of Investing In a number of Ameri can utilities companies. Probably they will avoid acquiring more than 10 per cent of any one enterprise, for fear of coming within the pur view of the holding company act. but they are expected to buy enough of each to have what Is called "en Important voice" In policy.
