President Favors Rail Merging Voluntarily
Swampscott Mass Aug 4 Voluntary consolidation of railroads in President Coolidge's opinion would pave the way to a solution of the transportation problem. While he has refrained from committing himself on the proposal the President is watching with interest the efforts of the Van Sweringen interests to receive the Interstate Commerce Commission's approval of their merger. He believes that settlement of the point at issue will make it possible for other transportation systems now at sea as to whether they can proceed with consolidation to definitely proceed with their program.

Flights Made With One Plane By Byrd Explorers
Navy planes from the MacMillan Byrd Arctic expedition assembled at Etah Greenland and made an 80 minute water takeoff. Commander Byrd reported work underway since sunrise with NA-2 and NA-3 erected, and a successful test hop at 9 p.m. amid garbled details. Reporters at Arlington Heights heard a direct radio contact with 9-XN station in Greenland as the expedition answered queries and shared lighthearted remarks about the World Series. A heavy snowstorm later interrupted the telephonic contact, delaying further flights and testing. Lt. Comdr. McDonald noted he shot his first polar bear last week.
