DR.. YOUNG |NYENTS
NEW LANDING GEAR.
Head of Maryland Commits
sion rs RetractabIe De-
vice for SeapIanes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, January 1l.-Dr.
Hugh H. Young, one of the worlds
leading urologists, and chairman of
the Maryland State Aviation Commits
sion, has invented retractable landing
gears for seaplanes and amphibians
The invention. he thinks, will reduce
parasitic resistance" 10 to Is per cent
1T really is so simple" DR.. Young
said that I am astonished that no
one has taken out patents on these in
ventions before"
Conversion Possible.
Known the world over as an inventor
of surgical instruments, DR.. Young's re-
tractable gear inventions are the first
of their kind he has attempted. He
was granted patents on them last
month.
The gears can be used on either
monoplanes ,or biplanes and enable
conversion Of seaplane into an am
phibian
For biplanes, the tip of each of the
lower wings is hinged SO that the pilot,
by operation of a mechanism from his
seat, can turn them from their oroi-
narily vertical position to a horizontal
position, forming pontoons. The body
Of such a plane must be of the flying
boat design.
To convert into an amphibian, wheels
are placed In the wing tips and cne
wheel under the PROV Of the fiving boat.
Only small part of these wheels pro-
ject to offer wind resistance.
Form Part of Wings.
In monoplanes. the pontoons form q
part of ths wing. about two-thirds Of
the distance from the pilots seat and
the tip of the wing. A mechanism
enables the pilot to lower them when
landing or raise them when flying.
Wheels may be installed, as in the case
Of the biplanes. .p
DR.. Young admits his invention has
not been given trial on working
model. but he says mechanics who have
studied it believe it practicable.

vision for the publication Of his diary

they mature, is utterly destructive Of
the interest Of the debtors and creditors
alike and If this process is allowed TO
take its usual course misery will be
suffered by thousands without sub
stantial gain to their creditors, who in
sist upon liquidation and foreclosure In
the vain hope OF collecting their claims.
Present Process Destructive.
"In the grest majority Of cases, such
liquidation under present conditions Is
50 futile and destructive that voluntary
readjustments through the extension
or composition of individual debts and
the reorganization of corporatins must
be desirable to q large majority OF the
creditors.
Under existing laws, even where ma
jorities Of the creditors desire to ar
range fair and equitable readjustments
with their debtors, their plans may not
be consunlmated without prohibitive de-
lay and expense, usually attended by
the obstruction OF minority creditors,
who oppose such settlements In the
hope that fear of ruinous liquidation
will induce the immediate settlement OF
their claims
",rhe proposals to amend the bank
ruptcy act by providing for the relief
of debtors who seek the protection OF
the court for the purpose Of readjust-
ing their affairs with their creditors
carry no stigma Of an adjudication In
bankruptcy and are designed to extend
the protection Of the court to the debtor
and his property, while an opportunity
is afforded the debtor and a majority
of his creditors to arrange an equitable
settlement of his affairs, which upon
approval Of the court will become bind
ing upon minority creditors.
Right 10 Reorganize.
Under such process 1t should be pos
sible to avoid destructive liquidation
through the composition and extension
Of individual Indebtedness and the re-
organization of corporations. with the
full protection Of the court extended TO
the rights and interests Of creditors and
debtors alike. The law should encour-
age and facilitate such readjustments
in proceedings which do not consume
the estate In long and wasteful re-
ceiverships
In the case Of individual and corpo-
rate debtors all creditors should be
stayed from the enforcement OF their
debts pending the judicial process Of
readjustment. The provisions dealing
with corporate reorganizations should
be applicable to railroads, and in such
cases the plan of reorganization should
not become effective until 1t has been
approved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Il wish again to emphasize that the
passage Of legislation for this relief Of
individual and corporate debtors at this
session of Congress is a matter of the
most vital Importance. It has a major
bearing upon the whole economic situ-
alton in the adjustment Of the relation
of debtors and creditors. I therefore
recommend its immediate consideration
as an emergency action"
