Hotel Chain Ready For Plane Era SAN FRANCISCO UP -Harry H. Culver, who carved Culver City, out of a barley patch and saw it grow into "the city of movie studios," today announced the first "subdivision of the sky." Culver, after whom the glittering city which houses Metro; Goldwyn-Mayer and other movie studios is named, has established the first American landing field for vertical airplanes atop the fashionable Fairmont hotel here. "We are getting ready for the world of tomorrow," Culver proclaimed as crews of workmen put up a huge sign. "Fairmont Hotel Area Landing Field" on top of the hotel.

"The wonderland of tomorrow will be in the air," he said. "We have placed our order for a fleet of vertical-landing planes to commute from our chain of hotels, dropping passengers.out of the sky onto the roofs." Culver said he had reason to believe that war would, be over in the spring, was certain that the bonanza of the "flivver plane" would start immediately after that. Stephen W. Roye'e, president of the Royce-Linnard hotel chain, said the hotel's roof landing field I would be ready for use in 30 days and that "Helic.ab" service, would be started between the hotels as soon as the ships are available. i "The new air travel will come like a bombshell," Royce predicted.

"Kids will be able to fly the aero- I cars, readable aeroplanes and helicopters. They'll have folding wings, collapsible propellers, and i the operator will able to land on the hotel, fold his wings, driye down a ramp and go anywhere." Avoic Compujsorj iJuytng- vest ir.
