Becquet founded and was the first president of the Lincoln Traffic Club, composed of Lincoln transportation men who meet regularly to keep up on new developments in the shipping industry and the latest ICC rulings. The 200-man organization, which had 50 members when Becquet founded it in 1940, also sponsors educational traffic conferences and tries to promote belter use of available transportation by Lincoln businesses.

"In addition to the need for better utilization of present transportation facilities, this means a greater for intricacies of transportation."

As air freight competitive with overland transportation it will be used to cut down a chousing needs, he said. He explained that with the time advantages of air transportation, it will be possible to deliver merchandise quickly and do away with the need for large warehouse inventories in distant cities.
