To Save Expense, Build- CTS Will Be Asked To Submit Figures On Types Already Built Or Designed.
Machines Must Be De- livered for Active Serv- ice Not Later Than First of November. Com. Ye- andIe Announces.

New York, March 20 tH---A call has been issued for five "seaWorthy' airplanes to aid the United States coast guard in it's two-lold war against the sea and the smuggler. With the augmented air force, as provided by the recent emergency appropriation by congress, the coast guard will matrially increase the et- fectivencss of it's vigil over rum row and the storm endangered. channels of trade.
 Needed by November
 At theterminatio1 of recent meeting of a coast guard board ap- pointed to recommend the future policy of the organization in matters of air service expansion. Lieutenant Commander $. $. Yeandle, aide to the commandant of the coast guard and a member of the board, told the Associated Press that the five new planes must be delivered not latei than November l of this year.
 Tn order to eliminate unneces- sary expenditure in experimentation anG to assure quick action" Com mander Yeandle said, "the board will call upon airpiane manu1actur' CTS to submit types or models no" in existence or already designed rather than to seek an entirely new type peculiarly fitted to the coas guards needs. ......... "Six characteristics upon whicl the planes offered will be judged are: seaworthiness. radius of action durability, military value, cost or up keep and size.
 Must Have Radio
 "Each plane will be equippe' with radio in order to be able | communicate with patrol boats. Tn plane will be assigned the duty o keering watch upon the attempts 0 vessels to smuggle into the countr louor or other illicit merchandl5f But this will be only q small part Q it's task. Its regular work will b hunting for derelicts mhacing tn Trade routes, seeking out ships ] distress, and acting as liaison be tween the patrol boats and tn pase."
 In time it is hoped to extend tn air service in the south Atlantl Gulf of Mexico, and southern Cal fornia sectors, but the five planes ft which the call has been issued wi be assigned to the north Atlanti which now offers the coast guard tf greatest challenge in rum row, an the crowded sea lanes beset by ic' borgs and storms.
