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.

It was the President's thesis that,

About a year ago, Softna quietly ac

ranks with the largest. Oddly

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

of Investing In a number of Ameri

they will avoid acquiring more than
10 per cent of any one enterprise,
