Nevertheless Publisher Tichenor continued to think that he had a good political thing by the tail. To keep his two stories alive last week he released a telegram he had just received from Herbert Reed: "Elliott Roosevelt's denial ... is not surprising to me. He and his father will probably similarly deny having backed my plan for reorganization of the nation's air lines ... for which Elliott and his associates were to receive an interest estimated at $750,000 per year, because at the time we were dealing I was warned to expect such denials if there...
...America, the new giro is the product of many extraordinary recent improvements on the bastard airplane with rotors whose crude ancestor Inventor Juan de la Cierva first made hover in the air 13 years ago. The modern giro is completely wingless, is merely a fuselage with a propeller, a tail, a direct-control rotor. The pilot sets the giro's course by tilting the rotor.

Aboard were 14 passengers, mostly bankers, bound for California and the American Bankers' Association meeting. As the plane shot west at 200 m.p.h. on a strong tail wind, they lolled on divans arranged in eight Pullman sections or walked up & down the corridor between the lavatories at the rear and the private compartment held by two of their number just aft of the cockpit. Presently the stewardess set up small tables in each section, served a hot seven-course dinner with...
