CLIPPER
VOL. 4—NO. 1 470106
JANUARY, 1947
Houston Gateway Opens; Ceremonies Colorful
Houston, Texas became Pan American World Airways’ newest international gateway, Dec. 15, with the arrival at Houston of the first inbound Clipper from Mexico City. The 55-passenger plane carried the Mexican delegation, headed by Alejandro Buelna, chief of Mexico’s Tourist Department, and included members of the government, prominent businessmen and newspapermen.
Hundreds of Houstonians and visitors were on hand at the airport to inspect the new $80,000 International Building and witness the ceremonies which were to place Houston in the select group of international aerial gateways.
The inauguration ceremonies were presided over by C. E. Naylor, president of the Houston Chamber of Commerce. The delegates and visitors were welcomed by R. E. “Bob” Smith, Chairman of the Texas Good Neighbor Commission ,in the names of Governor Coke Stevenson and Governor-Elect Beauford Jester. Buelna spoke for the Latin American group.
Wilbur L. Morrison, vice president of PAA’s Latin American Division, told some of PAA’s plans for the future. Three northbound and three southbound flights daily are to be operated, in the beginning, through Houston. Morrison added that PAA will increase schedules as traffic demands and said that the international airline hoped “to double the number of flights within the not too distant future.”
At the close of the inauguration ceremonies the Clipper took off for the inaugural flight to Mexico. A delegation of 44 Houstonians, representatives of other Texas cities, radio and news men were flown to Mexico where they were entertained for two days as guests of Pan American.
In Houston, the Mexican visitors were treated to a round of Texas hospitality.

First Latin American Station Managers Conference Pronounced Highly Successful by Division Manager
Approximately three dozen airport station managers from Pan American World Airways’ widely scattered Latin American stations gathered recently in Miami, Fla., for a week-long conference on operational and traffic problems.
The first meeting of its kind ever to be held by the airline, the session was pronounced a complete success by Humphrey W. Toomey, the Latin American Division manager, who called the conference. The meeting brought together station managers from each
-^of PAA’s airports in the Caribbean and Central America and from stations along the north coast of South America and as far down the east coast as Brazil.
Bringing all the station managers into Miami at one time, Toomey explained, made it possible for problems common to all the stations to be discussed and solutions worked out by the group as a whole. Each station manager had an opportunity to discuss difficulties encountered at his particular airport and to benefit from the experience of managers from other Latin American stations.
Wilbur L. Morrison, vice president in charge of the Latin American Division, opened the meeting December 9, outlining its purpose and explaining- the desired results.
Division Manager Toomey also spoke during the initial session. He was followed by Murlin C. Arner, division operations superintendent.
Other department heads heard on the opening day included Robert F. Green, industrial relations manager; Paul R. White-ford, assistant manager, services of supply; Dr. John T. Macdonald, medical director; S. Roger Wolin, public «relations manager, and Edwin Drescher, division accountant. Each explained in detail the work of his department, emphasizing new

Henry Appleby, Charles McMillan, Rita Dooley, Jose Fernandez, Connie Quinatal,
Russel Platt, John Walsh, Ed Shaffer, and Paul Wessells.
Bullen, born in Chicago, Illinois, has been with PAA’s reservations and sales office since 1940.

NON-TECHNICAL IDEAS BRING HOME SHEKELS
