flight "above the wather," an other interesting page has been turned in the history of Ameri- can air transport. This four-en- giner airplane can carry B pas sengers and crew of five or six at four miles a minute. Its most interesting feature is it's cylin- drical, super-charged ca b n, which enables preSsures normal to altitude of 14,000 to 10000 feet. In this way advantage may be taken of the smoother air con ditions, the lessened air resist ance and weather interference, and the steadier winds of the up- per levels, leading both to in creased speed and comfort.
 Aeronautical engineers have de bated at length the economics of true sub stratosphere flight. There is no unanimity of opinion on the question of whether the structural and power-plant fac tors necessary to provide passen- ger comfort and safety in the thin airs of, say, 30,000 feet are justified for such service as that between our Atlantic and Pacific Coasts.
 It is true that Commander Tom linson, who probably has spent more time above the level of 25,000 feet than any other pilot during his high-altitude studies for Transcontinental and Vest ern Air-which also will take de livery soon of some of the new liners - has found that cloud formations, with their attendant conditions of turbulance and low visibility, occasionally extend to 30,000 or even 35,000 feet.
 As a rule, however, levels of 18,00O to 10000 feet mean bright sunshine or starlight, smooth air with steady winds. For flying in high mountainous terrain, and certainly for transocean flying, these are the levels to which the new Flying Cloud opens the door.

DEVELOPMENT OF TELE- VISION IS IMPERILED

WASHINGTON, April Is - Chairman James L. Fly of the Federal Communications Com mission declared that the orderly development of television had been imperiled by what he call ed "a blitzkrieg" of television sales campaigns.
 Fly told the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee that the EGG is considering holding up the commercial development of television for a few months until technical equipment of compet- ing companies is standardized. He predicted that within a year unrestricted development could go forward, with the sale of standard receiving sets which would receive telecasts from sev- eral competing television sys- tens.
 He expressed fear that a sales promotion campaign at this time would freeze the televiSion indus try to one system and would ham per future competition and devel opment.

EDITORIAL
WAR IN ALASKA'S LATITUDE

Fierce naval land and air war fare now raging in Norway and along her shores between the six tieth and seventieth parallels can not but impress the circumSpect that the theater of this intensive acion is identical with the loca- tion of Alaska
 Oslo, capital of Norway, now occupied by Germany, is on the same parallel as Seward, Alaska. The northern tip of Norway is on tht parallel passing a little south of Point Barrow. Between these two parallels lies the greater part of Alaska.
 Alaska is as readily accessible from the neighboring shores of Siberia as is Norway from Ger many. And late reports reveal that the Pacific shores of Kam- chatka Peninsula, Siberia, have been fortified by Russia with air and naval bases. Japan has fort flied within comparatively close range of Kamchatka and the Aleutian isles of Alaska.
 No one need think that Russia and Japan have not been keep ing eyes on Alaska and are un- aware of her exposed and poorly defended position.
 If Germany gains the ascend ancy in Europe and should com bine with Russia and possibly Japan-in an aggressive move on Alaska, what then. Russia has felt out her cruising ranges by flights across the top of the world to America. Japan has sent her flying expeditions through the heart of Alaska on ostensible goodwill tours.
 Ben Eielson, flying from Alas ka to Norway, revealed the pos abilities of flight between the two countries.
 The tragedy that has overcome Norway and the fact no land particularly if undefended - is safe in these days of ruthless con quest is enough to quicken Am erica to a deep sense of the dan ger of Alaska.
 It's not time to slow down or delay the national program for the defense of Alaska-rather a time to speed up and take no chances.-Fairbanks News-Miner
