I received permission from the Air Ministry several months ago,' Captain Campbelt told an Evening Standard representative today to use the now Napier engine. I do not minimise the difheulties. There are Anserieun competitors who say they are going to get a motorer speed of 250 miles an hour. I should not be surprised if they succeed.

UNDERGROUND GARAGE
FOR WEST END.
TO RELIEVE PARKING DIFFICULTY.
Plans have been made for the
construction of a large under- ground garage beneath one of the West End squares, with accommo- dation for 400 cars.
If this attempt to solve the park- ing problem is successful other underground garages will be esta lished in central districts.
It is not possible at the moment to give the name of the square, but it is within easy reach of theatre- Land. The venture is being under- taken by Bovis, Ltd., building con- tractors, in conjunction with other interests.
"A number of considerations have to be met," said an official of the firm today, before it can be said that the scheme will proceed, but we are hopeful of overcoming the difficulties.
