u. S. URGED TO FIGHT
FOR AIRLINE TRADE
World Struggle for New Markets
Is in 0ffing, Advisory Com
mittee Declares,

The United States must prepare for
q worldwide struggle for the control
of trade routes of the air and of world
aeronautical markets, the National Ad-
Visory Committee for Aeronautics told
Congress in its annual report, made
public today.
The trend of development in avia-
ton today is generally toward larger
airplanes, with increased speed, in
creased wing loading and more power
full engines, the committee reported.
The advantage of the increased size
is increased aerodynamic and struc-
tural efficiency, it was pointed out.
Airplane speed has nearly doubled
during the past few years and the out
standing performance of the new large
bombardment and transport airplanes
is due largely to the results of research
work on cowling and cooling of en-
gines and the location of engine
nacelles, the report states.
There now is a demand for liquid
cooled aircraft engines of from 1000
to 1900 horsepower, the committee
said. Large airplanes in the future
probably will be either of the two
engine or four-engine types, it was
held, and the use of high-lift devices
to improve landing and take-off char
acteristics is imperative in the case of
the large, fast planes.

Holton tilted his chair: Funny
thing about these property owners"
he said They want the Water De-
partment to do the work of private
plumbers. Now what would the Mas
ter Plumbers Association say if we
chased all over town thawing out
service pipes?"
Plumbers Kept Busy.
What would they say? Engineer
Beckett wanted to know the same
thing.
Well, it seems it's been very busy
Winter for the master plumbers,
spending most Of their nights out,
thawing frozen service pipes-those
little pipes that lead into houses from
the big pipes-the mains.
To date, according to figures at the
Water Department, about 100 service
pipes have frozen. Added to these
are some 500 more frozen pipes regis
tered at private plumbing concerns.
When you consider that Washing
ton has about 100000 service pipes
and only 500 or 600 have frozen this
Winter, that is something for the
books" the chief engineer Of the
Water Department opined.
1t seems that service pipes should
be laid below what these experts call
the frost line. The frost is usually
80 inches below the surface. In some
cases, due to a conflict between the
Street Department and the Water De-
partment, service pipes are not down
as deep as they should be. Then they
freeze. Whenever this occurs, and the
city is really at fault, the Water De-
partment will send out its crew tc
thaw out the pipes, but only then
Otherwise, the Master Plumbers AS
sociation would be on the neck of the
Water Department. And the Water
Department doesn't. want that.
