Byrd Flies Pan American
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd flew on Pan American Airways from Panama City to David in Panama where he spent a couple of days at the mountain village of Boquete, cool even in summer because of its 4,000 feet altitude. During his sojourn in the Canal Zone he looked over the Pan American Airways terminal and studied the system’s radio for which he had words of highest praise.
The little menagerie at the airport, developed during spare time by field personnel, attracted much favorable interest and served to amuse newspapermen and spectators at the field.
COSTA RICAN POSTAL
CHIEF VISITS PANAIR
The Honorable Señor Ricardo Toledo, Postmaster General of Costa Rica, has completed an aerial tour over Pan American Airways to the United States and a series of visits which carried him to Washington, D. C. and New York. He made a study of United States postal methods including the handling of bulk mail from the big ocean liners coming into New York harbor and was the guest of U. S. postal authorities on a tour of inspection of the Post Office Department at Washington. While visiting Pan American Airways System general offices in New York, Señor Toledo was interviewed by the newspapermen of the city and representatives of the leading wire services.
Señor Toledo is the youngest postal authority of - his rank in the world, being only twenty-eight. He has been in political life in his country since he was eighteen years old but his present is his first major political appointment.
He emphasized the asset which Pan American Airways is to Costa Rica. He told of the recent averting of an epidemic of smallpox by the rush shipment of serum to Costa Rica via Pan American Airways planes. He outlined the importance of the passenger services telling how Costa Rican cattle buyers fly in two hours to Managua to buy their stock and then spend several weeks driving them back over the roads. The speedy and reliable air mail services to the twenty-nine nations on Pan American Airways were the subject of enthusiastic endorsement.
