Army flyers have long been doing Mexican border patrol work but it Is the first time, the Colonel said, that they have been employed In similar active service elsewhere. Extension of the service to in clude mapping of aerial routes on the Atlantic seaboard and later the widdle Atlantic states, is said to he in contemplation.
