SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. B. Three twelve-passenger bi-planes. weighing 1S,770 pounds yet capa- ble Of climbing 10000 feet in IT minutes, are being built for serv- ice on the San Francisco-Chicago air mail and passenger line.
 The new ships will go on the route about May i and will pro- vide a new standard of luxury for aerial travel.
 w. G. Heron, vice president in charge of traffic for the Boeing Air Transport, Inc. disclosing the company's plans for enlarging it's passenger service, declares that lighting of fields is to be com pleted by that time. so that mail service will be speeded up by several hours between the Pa cific coast and Chicago. N

 The new planes now being con structed at the Boeing plant in Seattle will cost $65,000 each. They will carry a total load of 3,700 pounds, of which 1,500 will be mail. express and baggage.
 The passengers cabin is more than six feet high, some five feet wide and 14 feet long. There is a row of four single seats at the left of the aisle and a row of four double seats at the right. The chairs have individual reclining backs. There arc forced ven tilation and heating equipment for the cabin, sanitary conveniences and large windows to give an un- obstructed view. The planes will be equipped for serving buffet luncheons.
 Three engines of 1,275 combir- ed horsepower, with cruising speed of 125 miles. will power the new ships, which will have a speed of 100 miles with two en- zines running and will be able to continue flying at moderate alti- tudes with two engines dead.
 The wheels of the landing gear are equipped with brakes and the landing speed will be 53 miles per hour at sea level.
