WASHINGTON, December 5.
The Postmaster-General (Mr. J. A. Farley) announces that he will ask Congress during the coming session for an appropriation to start the transAtlantic air-mail service. Experimental flights will be started next summer and the route will probably be in operation in the following year. Pan-American Airways is the only American company which has so far shown interest in the. plans.
Mr. Farley indicated that because foreign landing fields will be necessary joint operation of the service will be essential, but the mail contract would have to go to an American company using American equipment and crew.
It is understood that Imperial Airways representatives were- among the British interests which .participated in the recent five-sided conferences, along with three other foreign aviation groups.
