Revealed in Congress

"Washington, Jan. 12.

Competition between the United States and Great Britain for future trans-Atlantic air service was revealed in Congress today by Representative Ralph O. Brewster, Republican of Maine.

The Representative declared that British concerns were furthering plans to start a service in June, 1939, despite the fact that Pan-American Airways had delayed the opening date of their service to enable the two countries to start simultaneously.

Mr. Brewster added that the British were contemplating a plan to make Montreal instead of New York the terminus for their service.—Havas.
