AIR TRAVEL SKYROCKETING
BROWNSVILLE AIRPORT in a few days will be-
come the most important air terminal in Texas
and probably the Southwest.
The announcement of increased service by Pan
American Airways to Mexico City was quickly fol-
lowed by Braniff Airlines with its decision to in-
crease its double daily schedule to three flights both
ways daily.
Eastern Airlines came up in close order with an
announcement that its single flight each wav daily
would be increased to a double daily schedule and
the ink had not become dry on the announcement
before Eastern decided on three schedules daily
each way.
When the new flights are started between now'
and May 1 the Brow nsville airport will he busy with
a total of sixteen landings and takeoffs daily on
regular schedule—to Chicago to Washington and
New York. Thus hardly a daylight hour will pass
but that great commercial airliners will be on the
ramp either discharging or taking on passengers.
There are eight flights in and out of Brownsville
daily at this time. The new added schedules will
exactly double the number.
Interesting in this connection also is the recent
announcement that nightly air freight service is to be
established between Dallas and the Valley with
service to Brownsville. Harlingen and Mc Allen.
In view of all this increased activity at the
Brownsville airport the need for longer and better
runways has become more emphasized than ever. As
a representative of Pan American Airways told a
Brownsville audience recently speaking as a citizen
of Brownsville and not as a Pan American spokes-
man the Brownsville airport was modern ten years
ago. It has not kept pace with the growth of serv-
ice and size and weight of ships.
The Herald reprints elsewhere on this page by
permission of The Dallas News a cartoon by its staff
artist. Dr. John Knott and the following accompany-
ing editorial:
“A mere eighty years ago those who lived in the
frontier settlement of Dallas had to wait for their
dry goods condiments and other outside supplies to
be hauled laboriously by ox team from Jefferson or
some other distant point. But next week the^grand-
children of these pioneers will lie receiving freight.
as well as express and mail by overnight plane—and
taking it all as a matter of course that should sur-
prise no one.
“Dallas will be headquarters and northern ter-
minus for the first air line in the United States devoted
exclusively to carrying freight. Texas Air Freights
will give overnight service between North Texas and
the lower Rio Grande Valley with Valley stops at
Brownsville Harlingen and McAllen. The Valley
belle who wants a new gown quickly can phone or
wire a Dallas store in the afternoon and have her
dress early the next morning.
“The new freight line will be especially useful
in providing North Texas with perishable fruits and
vegetables while they are still fresh. Rail and
truck lines have been providing fast service between
Dallas and the Valley fruit and vegetable sections but
the air service will be even speedier. A Dallas en-
terprise with five Dallasites on the board of direc-
tors the new freight air line may quickly fir.d
enough patronage to expand its field of operation
and make this city the center of a whole network of
air freight lines.”

SAVING COUNT* MONEY
In most states the reduction of
the present number of counties by
consolidations would oiler a clear
way to save public funds and im-
prove public services. Private busi-
ness would jump at such an oppor-
tunity. But only in a negligible
number of cases have county merg- !
ers actually been effected in the
United States.
Bv redividing Georgia to as to
replace the present 159 counties with
41 compact units approximately
equal in population and taxable
value at least $10.000000 a year
could be saved it was said at Em-
ory University by Ivan Allen. Sr. i
who as former chairman of the
commission on reorganiaation of
aUte government has given close
study to such questions.
While the money now expended
on unproductive county overhead
was being saved he declared such
vital county functions as education
health protection and road build-
lug and maintenance could for the
first time be adequately carried out
all over Georgia. Then he added:
“Although 90 per cent of our pop
upturn realize that such an action
would save millions the program is
bung stalled by a vigorous minor-
ity which would be forced into the
background."
In this obstructive minority Mr.
Allen named rural politicians coun-
ty officials county newspapers leg-
islators who might lose their seats
small banks and other concerns
whose main source of income is
county business.
In every state which has more
counties than are needed for the
efficient handling of county busi-
ness and services unJ‘ r present-day
conditions the genei.\ interest calls
with imperative voire for consoli-
dation or comprehensive redivision.
Aut the general interest is an unor-
ganized interest ordinarily incap-
able of stroitgiy concerted action
while opposed »o it are special in-
terest* energized by powerful mo-
tives of self-preservation end often
politically intrenched.
That Is primarily the reason the
sensible businesslike procedure of
county consolidation has not got
further.—N;w York Sun.

WASHINGTON — Not all the
horses In the Republican race
have yet appeared in the paddock. 1
Very soon you will see emerging
from the stables the colors of Wen-
dell Willkie. popular utilities man-
ager. A serious movement for him
is now bemg organized not the
casual ones you have noted so far
but a formidable national setup.
It may be heralded by the approv-
ing bugle of a nationally known la-
bor leader.
Brightest delegate possibilities
for the dark horse are his now
doubtful former home state of In-
diana and a portion of the New
York delegation. He is now a reg-
istered Republican in New York
after earlier Democratic voting af-
filiation in Ohio.
CMART British strategy in Norway
u is drawing the silent cheers of
military men here. If you will open
the five fingers of one hand the
tips will denote the points at which j
Hiller established his Norwegian
bases. The British have moved
into the spaces between the two
top fingers. This puts them in the
spota to pinch off the two top bases
easily. These two opened spots also
afford direct rail and road com-
munications in behind the Norwe-
gian line to which tne British have
moved up fast to establish an east-
west nail of resistance
Why the Germans left these water
railheads open can be explained
only by transportation difficulties
of their invasion Apparently Hitler
could not handle enough troops
originally to occupy any more ter-
ritory than he did.
Transportation of troops bv plane
is a slow and unsatisfactory pro-
cess From the open British bases
the Allies can relv to a greater ex- I
tent on sea transport.
Thus the Norwegian conflict has
evolved into a race to get men into
action. If the British can push fresh
forces in as fast as Hitler they i
can not only pinch off the two
from the south If they can move
northern bases but stop his advance
men in taster they can rout him.
DEAR ADMIRAL Taussig will not
be sent to the brig for saying 1
the Japanese campaign of conquest
if continued will make war with
the United States inevitable. He se d
. what the navy believes.
Disclaimers were issued by Becre- |
i taries Edison and Hull for fear of
; international repercussions and
particularly because the published
condensed vetsiorus of Taussig s
plain talk were subject to inflam-
matory misinterpretation*. At the
same time no one in authority here
privately disagrees with what the
brilliant commandant of tlie Nor-
folk district averted although they
would have changed his wording a
little.
Basic naval belief is that Japanese
expansion in the Pacific will in-
evitably reach and step upon neu-
tial and American toes unless it
collapses before it gets that far.
Signs that it may collapse a re evi-
dent in all the bad economic news
from the Far East Thetefore while
war is the logical consequence of
Japan s policy it is not imminent
or threatening at this particular
moment
LJITLER may have seized Den-
mark but not the Danish lega-
tion here and particularly not Min-
ister Henry De Kauftmann. Quiet-
ly. Mr. De Kautfmann has been dis-
regarding orders from his own
government in Copenhagen know-
ink full well that his superiors are
speaking with a gun at their heads
Quietly also he has been setting up
a sort of an ausentee government of
h*s own here.
Committees to handle the Upping
problem Greenland commercial
questions arising as a result of the
Nazi then of his country have been
established bv the diplomat. The
shipping committee for instance
will handle disposition of 190 000.000
to $120.000 000 worth of Danish
j bet toms now tied up in neutral
ports with cargoes valued at just
that much more.
Autonumous man&grmant of
Gieenland will be established
j through the Greenland committee.!
Sooner or later. Hitler is going to
send another minister from Den- j
mark to Washington which will
raise a delicate problem for the
state department. But that will be
handled when it develops and In a
way to cause Mr. De Kauffmann the
least possible di.-pleasure.

Another enemy of childhood b
gradually b:tng conquered. Pneu-
monia of different type* have been
for a long time leading causes of
death among children. The pneu-'
monia may be caused primarily b>
several t\pes of pneumococcus or-
ganisms or it may be secondary tc.
a number of other infectious dis-
eases such as measles whooping
cough or Influenza.
It Ls evident that If we can pre-
vent a number of the infertlou!
diseases likely to be complicated by
pneumonia we will be reducing the
number of pneumonia deaths
This has actually occurred
With the primary pneumonia.-
we have had to wait until some
more specific means were discov-1
ered to control the disease. UntiJ
recently we depended upon “ex-
pectant treatment." good medical
care and routine nur«ing. Undet
the best conditions death rate*
from primwiy pneumonia in chil-1
dren were not as high as among
adults. In the secondary pneu-
monias the mortality among chil-
dren was about twice as high a#
among primary cases.
• • •
Research and experimentation
have opened the door to a brighter
day In the treatment of the pneu-
monias. Specific serum treatment
was the first key to more success-
ful treat meint.
There are many types of pneu-
monia organisms Some typer
yield more readily to the newn
serum treatment than others. If
the pneumonia germs are accu-
rately typed and a serum acting
directly against the type t* used
sufficiently early and In adequate
amounts we mav expect the death
rate to be reduced Unfortunately
not all types of pneumonia re-
spond equally favorably to thb
treatment.
Many so - called "pneumonia
cures'* have heen tried and found
wanting until the newer remedler
came into use The most recent
forward step in treatment came as
the result of experimenting with
a new drug railed sulfapvradlne.
Laboratory workers abroad and
In the United States In 1938 and
1939 used this chemical on mice
infected w ith pneumonia get mi
and found many of the mice were
saved. Similar treatment was ap-
plied to human beings and It work-

For this reason eases of pneumonia
should be treated in the hrnpita'
so that any unlavorable symptoms
can be checked and steps taken to
modife the treatment. The more
general use of ox* gen in the treat-
ment of pneumonia has undoubted-
ly heljied in controlling the disease
