Nevertheless, the Fresident is expected to veto the B, already passed with substantial majorities by the House and Senate, when it reached him to-morrow,

Unless Congress can muster a two-thirds majority and over-ride the vetc, the Patman. Bin will be "killed." Rauter, ·

“PICKABACK” PLANE

Trans-Atlantic Service

(Special Air Mail Service)

London, April 30. Imperial airways have placed with Short Bros., of Rochester, ani order for the Arst "composite seaplane" to carry mails across the Atlantic to New York,

This composite craft consists of two four-engined monoplanes-a ying-boat with a seaplane on its back.

And this is how it will do its work, according to plans designed by Major R. H. Mayo,

At the take-off at the start of the Journey the seaplane, locked

to its "porter-plane." will be heavily-loaded with malls. All eight engines will run full out to get the flying-boat off the water. The "porter." carrying 1

very small amount of fuel, will use all its power support seaplane, Then, when sufficient height" and speed have been attained the seaplane will be released carry on across the Atlantic,

and the flying-boat will glide down to its base again.

The seaplane will carry enough fuel for a journey of more than 3000 miles, and will take 10001b. of mail.

GERMAN AIR STRENGTH

British Outclassed

(Special Air Mail Service)

London. Aprli 26. The rapid expansion of German military aviation has created a situation which, I leam, is Hkely to necessitate radical changes in the British Government's latest Air Force expansion programme. writes a correspondent.

Facts which were brought to the attention of Ministers on the eve of the Stresa Three-Power Con- ference indicate that Germany has already established a "commanding aerial supremacy over this country. They show that the German Air Force is already equipped with arstine military aircraft available practically double. the number of

Major Mayo's plans provide for the seaplane being able to carry 1000lb of payload, even against a continuous 80 m.p.b. head wind for the 2100 miles.
