U.S. ATLANTIC AIR-LINE PLAN

19 HOURS TO EUROPE

The Department of Commerce announces the inauguration of a new transatlantic air service, with forty passenger flying-boats cap- able of bridging the distance between New York and Europe in one hop, writes a correspondent.

The time taken will be the in- credibly short span of nineteen hours, or about a fifth of the best

surface speed 'record. Designs for the new flying-boats, which wil be the biggest ever constructed in the United States. have been completed by the well-known Baltimore Arm of Glenn L. Martin, builders of the China clippers,

The Government refuses to give any more details of this ambitious and spectacular undertaking. No- body yet knows for sure the names of the backers. Four have been mentioned-Miss Amelia Earhart the famous Atlantic airwoman. her publisher husband, Mr. George Palmer Putnam, Mr. Eugene Vidal, former chief of the Air Bureau of the Department of Commerce, and Mr. Floyd B. Odlum, a wealthy investment trust manager.

AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE The Montreal line, moreover, will continue to New York over the Adirondack Mountains and down the Hudson Valley. In con- nection with this service, prepara- tions for an alternative route over. Bermuda and the Azores have been completed with the an- nouncement of a landing award at the Azores by the Portuguese Government.

The southern route may have.to be taken during part of the win- ter season. It is longer by 2,000 miles than the direct route via Newfoundland, but is safe from the tremendous storms and dense fog which may occasionally make the great circle route perilous for flying-boat traffic.

If the rival organisation lives up to promise. It may be a powerful competitor for the Pan-American- Imperial airways service.

so that there will be ample leeway to avold storts.

ANGLO-U.S. PROJECT The project will be the second tranatlantic-service in contem- plation, the first, which will cross the broad Atlantic in jumps being almost ready for inauguration.

This is the plan on which pre- parations have been going forward for more than year by Pan- American airways and Imperial Airways acting together. Bince June last arrangements have beeu completed, except the securing of permission to operate along 'the selected routes. The dimculty here has been diplomatic, The British, wishing to make the ser- vice a British Empire route, insist- ed upon the two termin being London and Montreal. Such a plan would have put New York at the end of a branch line.
