MR CHIFLEY’S VISIT
ARRIVAL BY AIR ON MONDAY Rec. 9.30 p.m. SYDNEY, Dec. 10. The Australian. Air Board has decreed that the Prime Minister, Mr J. B. Chifley, must use a four-engmed plane on his flight to New Zealand next week. Mr Chifley had planned to use his personal Dakota and take with him his usual crew. He will now leave here at 6 a.m. on Monday in an R.A.A.F. Liberator bomber and fly direct, instead of via Norfolk Island as first planned. The Air Board is believed to have been influenced by the recent Tasman incident, when bad weather and a motor failure forced a flying boat to jettison its passengers’, luggage and freight.
