WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Inaugu-
ration of regular transatlantic air.
plane passenger service between
Berlin and Buenos Aires in May
is seen by American foreign trade
experts as an important step in
Germany's postwar program to re-
build her foreign markets.
Aside from the commercial sig
nificance of such project, solu-
ton of the aeronautical problems
involved is seen by American avia-
tion interests as an important con-
tribution to the development Of
world air routes.
DR.. Otto Merkle, director of the
German Lufthansa, which plans to
operate the route across the South
Atlantic, has been planning the
establishment of such route for
several years.
Although he pointed out that an
announcement of definite plans for
such a project at that time would
have been premature, DR.. Merkle
said that his organization was
making every effort to solve the
problems connected with such a
feat,
While DR.. Merkle discussed the
plans Of his organization only in
formally with delegates to the con-
ference. it was not believed that
the .Lufthansa, which is the worlds
largest operator of airplanes, plan
ned to inaugurate its trans-ocean-
ic service this year.
Three giant flying boats of the
Rohrback "Romar" type now are
being tested in the Baltic sea, fly
ing with heavy loads through gales
and billiards to prove their sea
worthiness.
DR.. Merkel announced at Berlin
that he was satisfied with the per
Torrance of the planes, and that
the Lufthansa plans to begin oper-
atoms early in May between eth
er Berlin or Hamburg and Buenos
Aires. The huge flying boats,
which are bigger than any yet de-
veloped in the United States plan
to fly by way Of Paris, Lisbon, st.
Louis, Senegal, Cape Verd islands.
Pernambuco, Brazil; Rio de Jani-
ero and Buenos Aires.
The Inaugural flight is to be
considered a gala occasion with
the planes flying along the West
Indies and on up the coast 70
New York, returning to Berlin by
way of the Bermudas and Azores
The Lufthansa has announced that
it hopes to extend its regular Ber-
lin to Buenos Aires service by the
addition of other giant planes now
under construction by the Dornier
company at Fredrichshafen and the
Junkers at Dessau, and by includ-
ing North America in the sched-
uled route.
The Rohrback "Romar" is a can
tileyer monoplane flying boat de-
veloped for long range passenger
carrying
Its maximum speed is 12s miles

about 2.4S0 miles. Three 600
