CHAIN OF SHIPS
ACROSS OCEAN
Towers Predicts Time VIII Come
When There Will be Boat
Every 800 Miles All
the Way.

[By Don Chamberlain, United Press

LONDON, June 7.-Commander j
H. Towers, skipper Of the NC-3 and
admiral" of the fleet of three Ameri'
can seaplanes which attempted a
transatlantic flight, today predicted
that a permanent bridge Of boats
would connect America and Europe
within five years. These boats, he
said, would serve as an aid both to
aerial and aquatic navigation.
"a chain Of light ships, each a
floating meteorological station will
within five years mark the air routes
to Europe" Towers declared. These
craft should be maintained interna.
tionally, perhaps by the league of
nations. The expense would be heavy,
but not prohibitive. Subsequent out
lay would not compare with the
benefits derived.
"a would suggest a light ship every
300 miles. They could keep in touch
with aerial craft, steamers and sail
ing vessels by wireless. Supply ships
could provision them periodically.
The first chain probably would be
established by way of the Azores
which is the easiest air route, but
I believe another from New Found
land to Ireland would be practicable
They would place transatlantic fly
ing on a substantial basis.
Meteorological is the most impor-
tant phase of flying across the Allan
tic. The NC-3 failed through lack Of
this We unexnectedlv encountered
storms in an area in which clear
weather had been predicted. Each
of the light ships could be manned
by a small crew and radio opera
tor. The meteorology need not be
expert. The ships could also assist
surface craft in distress"
