SEA AIR Line.
Floating Ports for Atlantic
Designed; Plan Tests

By PAUL KEcSKMETI
II,;p.d Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Aug. 4. (UP). In
establishing a regular air mail
service over the North Atlantic,
Germany will apply methods diff
fering in many respects from
those adopted by other nations.
One of the distinctive features
of the German service will be the
use of the Floating airports
Fricsenland and Schwabenland,
anchored off the Azores and Port
Washington, respectively. Z,
In an interview with the United
Press, Baron Carl August Won
Gablenz, director of the Lufthanc

difficulty by using our floating
airports from where the Tying
hoat can be easily catapulted IN
anV sort of weather. Moreover,
Of course, the floating bases serve
as refueling and repair stations
CREWS TO EXCEED SO
"The bases have crews OF on or
more-lO Lufthansa technicians
besides North German Lloyd men
who all have been especially
trained to cope with air traffic
problems. -, o
Another peculiarly of the pro-
iected German tranSocean service
is that Diesel motors are to be
used. Baron Won Gablenz declar-
cd that, in his opinion, Disel mo-
tors were better suited for ocean
flights than ordinary gasoline en-
"For Germany" he said, "it is
essential to extend the use Of
Diesel engines because the heavy
oil used in Diesel engines is much
cheaper than gasoline. Accord,
ingly, our technicians developed
Diesel engines much superior to
those used abroad. One great adj
vantage of the new Diesel engines
consists in the fact that it uses
about 25 per cent les fuel than
ordinary motors of the same pow
er. According to on rcalculatlons'
it is more economical to use
Diesel engines fro flights extend
ing beyond $50 miles, because the
greater weight of the engine;
itself is more than compensated
by the saving on fuel 49,,

PARKING METERS
INDORSED FOR D. C
Keystone Automobile Club Asks
Devices Be Tested, at Least
in Limited Area.

Declaring Washington's parking
problems are as critical as those OF
any city in the United States, the
Keystone Automobile Club today in
dorsed the proposal to install parking
meters here.
The motor club through its man
ager, George E. Keneipp, said 1t had
conducted a Nation wide study OF
cities where parking meters are nov
used and decided they ARE worth q
test, at least within limited area
The primary function Of the meters
the club said, is to ease the acute
parking situation: to make 1t possible
for more motorists to find a place
to park and transact business.
For that reason" the club stated
"it is regrettable that locally the park
ing meter is being put forward as q
revenue measure. The revenue to be
derived from parking meters Is def
nitely incidental and is applied toward
purchase Of the machines and various
trafnc uses"
