'SOON CARRY FUG ON WORLD TRIPS .Washington, Aug. 28 (U.R) Pan American Airways soon may be carrying the United states flag on the first round- the-world commercial air route in aviation history. Civil aeronautics board exam'. iners recommended yesterday that the pioneer international carrier be licensed to fly west ward across the central Pacific to Calcutta from San Francisco and Los Angeles. The board recently granted Pan American'i present routes to complete "a round-the-world service by an American carrier." "Round-the-world cruises by air will substantially reduce the time that was required for such cruises before the war and will make possible a maximum of time for the visiting of foreign countries with minimum of transit time," the examiners said. What they meant was that some day, not too far off, you may be able to buy a ticket from Pan American at New York and two weeks later arrive in San Francisco or Los Angeles having visited: Newfoundland, Ireland, Bri tain, Belgium, Germany, Czech oslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania. Bulgaria, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, India, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Mid way, and Honolulu. If you want to spend a few days in any of these places you just wait for another Clipper. The examiners estimated that there would be enough round-the-world travel for five sched ules a week using aircraft of the Constellation (55 - passenger) class.

(U.R) Dr. Albert Wolfson, Northwestern Univer sity zoology Instructor, is trying to find out why birds fly north in winter and south in summer. Contrary to the popular belief that birds begin to feel a tniie chilly each autumn and so head south. Wolfson holds that chang ing day's lengths alter the pitui tary glands. The change in gland activity stores uo extra fat for me trip, each autumn and spring. With out the fat, the birds dont mi grate. To test his belief, Wolfson has released 25 sparrows, all tagged and marked with a bright yel low extra tail-feather. He trap ped the birds early in Mav on their trip north, when they were fat and full of energy. The feathered migrants lost weight while in captivity. If the zoologists theory is correct, the weight loss will keep the birds from finishing their trek north. The public and bird experts are keeping lookout for Wolf son's sparrows, to see whether they turn tip in their normal Canadian, Wisconsin and Minne sota summer haunts, or decide they prefer to stick to the sunny climate of northern Illinois.
