Capital Is Discussed
As transatlantic
5eapIane Terminal
Largest Dredee in U.S..
Works on Proposed
Bosin for Aircraft

Washington may become trans.
Atlantic air transport terminal for
the proposed Pan American Air
ways service II informal negotia-
tions now understood to be In
progress result in definite action.
A flying boat terminal is a promi-
nent part of the Washington Ma
tional Airport layout at Gravelly
Point, and the largest dredge in the
country, the Gulf Stream, recently
arrived from New Orleans, now Is
at work in the middle of the pro-
posed seaplane basin. from which
material is being pumped into the
airport proper at the rate of more
than 1000 cubic yards an hour
Although original plans for the
Gravelly Point development do not
call for the immediate completion
of the flying boat facilities. 1t is
understood the necessary work will
be undertaken as part of the
present program if Pan American
AirWays should indicate its willing
ness to operate out of Washington,
either directly or in conjunction
with stops at present bases in Bal
timore and at Port Washington,
NY.
Washington Is Suitable.
From the standpoint of direct air.
line connections Washington is re-
garded as far more suitable loca-
ton for the ocean terminal than
any other coastal city except New
York. Three major air transport
lines operate out OF Washington to
every part of the United States,
providing direct connections with
an ocean clipper service using the
Gravelly Point base. The same
passenger. express and mail facili-
ties would serve both land plane
and flying boat services, resulting
in a minimum of delay and con-
fusion.
While the Potomac River IS re-
garded as far from ideal for large
flying boats of the A-passenger
type now available for the ocean
service, local operations are regard
ed as feasible in all except bad
weather, when more open waters
would be preferable
The Yankee Clipper, first OF the
big ocean clippers to reach the At
! lantic Coast. made several success
full flights from the Potomac here
following her christening by Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt last month.
Hearings Set Monday.
Civil Aeronautics Authority off,
cials declined any official comment
on the proposal but indicated that
the matter has been discussed.
, Hearings on applications OF Pan
American Airways for a certificate
of convenience and necessity COW
ering transport service between the
United States and Europe and for
establishment of mail rates on the
transatlantic and Bermuda routes
will begin Monday before the C..
A. A.
The Yankee Clipper now Il in
service on the New York Bermuda
run. where she has established
world records for numbers of pas
sengers carried in a single flight.
The sister Atlantic Clipper has com
pleted a trial flight to Europe and
soon is to begin the return trip.
Sites for all the airport runways
have been dredged clear down to
underlying gravel, the C. A. A. has
been informed and the runaways
themselves now are being filled with
solid sand and gravel from selected
deposits outside the airport, in
cluding those in the seaplane basin
