Roosevelt to Invite Private Bids for Airmail Service
President Roosevelt plans to authorize immediate bidding by private lines for airmail service and to transfer airmail transportation to private operators during a temporary period before permanent legislation. Officials met to arrange bids as he prepared for a ten day vacation, with further talks on restoring private operation to occur later. Captain Eddie Rickenbacker denounced the move as a sham and urged temporary contracts while awaiting lasting law. He claimed carriers could handle mail on short notice under fair conditions. Representative MacFarlane proposed expanding control over aircraft purchases and unifying air defense under a cabinet secretary of the air, arguing the four major holding companies dominate the industry and that the government should take over airmail operations.
