NEW YORK.—Several new faces appeared among those present at the annual Division Traffic Managers’ Conference held in Pan American Air ways’ New York executive of fices from September 28 to Oc tober 1 this year. Since 1933, when the Division Traffic Man agers were called together for the first time by General Traffic Manager V. E. Chenea, these meetings have become an increasingly important part in Traffic Department procedure and have aroused considerable interest among other .depart ment executives. For the first time it was possible for Presi dent J. T. Trippe to be present to personally address confer ence members. “I would like to try to out line to you the added impor tance which is attached to the Traffic Department,” Mr. Trip pe told them. “Heretofore the traffic over our routes has been more in the nature of an accommodation to American business houses here and in the countries we serve. With the new equipment and increasing frequency of service which is rapidly being inaugurated over the System, however, the next year or two will see traffic be coming as important a function in our organization as operat ing. It will be necessary to ex pand our efforts to secure more passengers, mail and express and increase our direct traffic sales to a greater extent than we have up until today. “We will be dependent on traffic as are other commercial organizations such as the rail roads and other transportation companies.

UAL SCHEDULES “ ORIENT FLYER”

SAN FRANCISCO. — To provide direct connections with the Pacific Clipper Ships ar riving in California from Ha waii and the Orient, United Air Lines has scheduled a new fast coast-to-coast service. The “Orient Flyer,” second sec tion of United’s standard Trip 2, is scheduled to make direct connections with the arriving Clippers and will leave Oak land at 1 a.m. on Clipper ar rival days on a direct New York schedule. Setting up what is believed to be the fastest 5,000-mile schedule in the world, passen gers departing from Honolulu on the Pan American Clippers will be landed at Newark Air port for New York City in 40 hours or less, those coming through from the Philippines within six days elapsed time from Manila.
A schedule of the “Orient Flyer,” as a preview to the regular passenger service, was arranged to meet the press flight upon the return from the' inspection trip on the China Clipper. United Air Lines limousines picked the passengers up at the Alameda base immediately following the clearance at th at port and transferred them directly to Oakland Airport where they boarded one of the new twinengined Boeing airliners for the fast scenic trip over the Rockies and the mid-continent route to the East. Stops were scheduled at Reno, Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, Omaha, Chi cago, and Cleveland. The flight was made in fourteen hours, 50 minutes, putting the passengers into New York thirty-nine hours, 50 minutes, total elapsed time from Hono lulu. United Air Lines are like wise considering the operation of the “Orient Flyer” west bound to make direct connec tions with departing Clippers for Hawaii and the Orient on a similar fast schedule.

N EW YORK. — W h e n Wickey the hat arrived at Newark Airport a b o a r d a United Airlines plane from Seattle after a five-month’s aerial jaunt around the world, he was greeted enthusiastical ly by his owner, Albert E. W i c k e y , sixty-five-year-old Railway Express handler from St. Louis, and by a host of officials from the city and from the airlines over which he had been flying. Since the day his owner had placed him aboard an airliner bound for the West Coast with the plea, “I’m never going to be able to travel—but take my hat!” — Wickey had become much changed in shape and color. In his rim were a dozen or more holes from which hung shipping tags of aerial ports in the fa r corners of the world.

SAN F R A N C IS C O .—The bustle about the temporary P an A m e ric a n transpacific terminal at Alameda on the afternoon of October 21 was like nothing so much as the cheerful process of any steam er’s departure. Last minute checking of baggage. Friends in holiday mood. Reporters, photographers, e v e ry w h e re . Simple and informal speeches of godspeed for the seven pas sengers from Mayor Rossi of San Francisco, from Mayor Eschen of Alameda, Mayor McCracken of Oakland, Mayor Ament of Berkeley—for all the great San Francisco Bay Dis trict took pride in the occasion. Laughing farewells. Last-min ute promises to write. One bell rang and the crew filed down the long dock to take their stations on the Hawaii Clipper. Two bells and the passengers—five men and two women — followed t h e m down the walkway. At the gangway steps a radio an nouncer asked each one a ques tion or two for an interna tional hook-up. Five minutes later and the big ship was taxiing out through the gap in the breakwater for the take-off of the Inaugural Flight of Pan American’s new transpacific passenger service, on time to the minute. Proud possessor of Ticket No. 1 was Mr. R. F. Bradley, Aviation Manager of Standard Oil’s San Francisco office. The other men in the party were Wilbur May, Los Angeles de partment store executive and an excellent pilot in his own right; T. F. Ryan III, San Francisco capitalist and avia tion executive; Col. Charles Bartley of Chicago, head of a large wholesale grocery firm, and Alfred Bennett of Hightstown, New Jersey, manager of one of the most active flying schools and airplane sales companies on the Atlantic coast.
