vice president of the organization.

as I t'llk to senators and members

BRISANE, April 18, </P)—Henry
Ford has perfected an all
metal airplane, driven by three
Packard diesel motors. Burning
crude oil, the machine is expected
to carry 11 passengers, 100 miles at
fuel cost of $2.16. This means that
the fuel cost of taking 11 passen
gers across the country from coast
to coast or across the ocean would
be $64.80; less than $6 each.
There is no cost for right of way,
little for terminals and for wear
and tear. What is more important,
in Ford’s opinion, Is the fact that
fire hazards and explosions, car
berator combustments, electric ig
nition and all dangerous elements
in flying are eliminated.
