SquaIus Disaster SpOtlights
 Navy's Rescue Genius s''
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Washington, May 26-The trapped men rescued from the submarine Squalus, 24O feet below the Atlan- tics surface mostly have Charles Bowers Momsen, lieutenant-com- mander, U. s. N., to thank.
 For this 43 year old naval ofl- cer has been the outstanding genius in the perfection of submarine rescue devices during the dozen years or so the navy department has been working to prevent such wholesale loss of life as occurred in the S-51 and S-4 disasters.
 So, when the Squalus sank, Momsen flew to the scene, and stood by, watching some of his in- ventions get their first real life and-death tests. The very divers who descended to the Squalus could work longer, more safely, more comfortably and more efiiciently, due to new breathing mixture of helium and oxygen he devised to re- place the plain air that used to be pumped to them.
 ALL THE GOES
 LIKE HIM
 After about a score of years in the navy, much of it in submarines, there's little about the "pig-boats" that "Swede" Momsen Che comes from St. Paul, Minn.) doesn't know. At present he is in charge of the experimental diving unit in the Washington navy yard, where new developments for submarines are tested out. He has been a sub com mander in his time, and 1t is re- ported that next year he will be as- signed to command division of them.
 Their crews will welcome him, because his reputation as a square shoter is Al with the gobs who go down in the sea. Those at the Washington navy yard will tell you he never orders anyone to do any, thing he can't or won't do himself. RECEIVED HIGH
 HONOR FOR LUNG"
 One time he did do it himself, because he refused to let an en- listed man take the risk. That was when he and other navy research men had perfected the now famous "Momsen lung"-that little bag of oxygen which, clipped to a mans nose, enables him to rise to the waters surface from great depths.

 The builders said the big ship would be expected to make the Bos- ton to Azores run in approximately 15 hours. Pan-American's Yankee Clipper flew 2,880 mile route from Baltimore to the Azores in IT hours and B minutes on March 26, 1889.

Sole comment relative to the ships possibilities was made by Will liam Wheatley, chief test pilot, only man to whom the half-million dol- lar plane has been entrusted for trials.

Since it's construction began be- hind locked doors on Aug. 1, 1888, Consolidated has refused to divulge information regarding the plane, denying until it's launching that
 U. s. Asks Secrecy
 Although officials described the plane as commercial experiment tal' ship and not of military de- sign, U. S. military officials were given access to the plans, and Navy Department attaches evidenced great interest in its possibilities as a long-range bomber, asking that construction details be kept secret.
 Several new principles of design are included in the radically con- structed ship. Two of these, the 110-foot Davis perfect curve" wing and the two, 2,000 horsepower Wright 18-cylinder engines, are closely guarded secrets.
 The perfect" wing was invented by David R. Davis, former partner of Donald Douglas, plane manu- facturer, from a formula evolved after 10 years of experimenting.
 Speed increases of 20 per cent are attributed by engineers to the use of the Davis wing, which is capable of lifting and carrying the 25-ton plane at an estimated 275 miles an hour for nonstop dis tances up to 10000 miles.
 Two Giant Fropellers
 Pulling the plane through the air are two, three-blade propellerS 16-foot in diameter and powered by the Wright twin-roW radial en- zines, largest ever installed in an airliner.
 Although not an amphibian the huge airboat carries hydraulically operated retractable float and tri- cycle landing kear which win en- able it. to be beached largely under its own power.
 Twin fins and rudders feature the tail assembly. constructed to main tam stability at high speeds, the builders said
 A maximum of 52 passengers can be accommodated in the steep hulled craft, with sleeping compart- ments berthing 28. The ship is double -decked and carries crew of ve; pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer, radio operator and navigator.
 Fuel capacity of the model 31 is estimated at 5000 gallons, giving it cruising range of 10000 miles.
 Its predecessors, the PBY navy bomers, famed for their nonstop flights from San Diego to Hawaii and Panama, have fuel capacity of only 1,760 gallons.
 Suited fir Military Use
 For military use, it. can quickly be converted into an Aerial arsenal with a minimum of eight machine guns or small cannonS mounted on all sides of its narrow, extremely steep hull. At its launching, how ever, it had no armament.
 Consolidated engineers refused to comment on plans for mass con- struction of the new ship until air tests have cen completed late this summer. Trials will continue for the next few weeks to "clean out" construction flaws as fast as they are found.
