A Northwest Airlines official re-
vealed today that his company in
tends to use a ley type high-speed,
multi-engine airplane, not yet in
production, on the so-called high
line" route the airline is seeking be-
tween Milwaukee and Spokane,
Wash, with stops at Glasgow.
K. r. Ferguson, vice president in
charge of engineering and postwar
planning, said the company hopes
to operate planes capable of cruising
speeds approximately go per cent
higher than those now attained by
commercial aircraft.
"On the nighttime route" he de-
clared, this would mean elapsed
time between airports could be
figured at more than 200-miles-an-
hour average"
Ferguson said the plane that prob
ably would be used on the route, if
the operation is authorized by the
civil aeronautics board. is still on the
drawing boards and no date has yet
been set for the start of production.
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1945-07-19

Northwest's engineers. however, are
now studying ~blueprints OF the
plane.
At hearings before CAB exam
liners several months ago, Northwest
Airlines said its plans call for the
use of the 14-paSsenger Saturn type
plane on the route, but Ferguson
emphasized today that other planes
are being studied and that new air.
craft developments are being con-
tinually incorporated in plans for
faster, more luxurious postwar
planes.
The nighttime route between Mil
waukee and Spokane would include
stops at Green Bay, Wis, Duluth,
Fargo, Grand Forks, Devils Lake,
Minot and Williston, N. D, Glasgow,
Havre, Great Falls, Cut Bank-Shel-
by and Kalispell, Mont.
If Northwest's application for the
route is granted, these cities would
be given a place on the company's
new transcontinental system, with
speedy air access to Seattle, Tacoma

and Portland in the west, the Twin
Cities, Milwaukee, and Chicago in
the midwest, and Detroit and New
York in the east.
The high line route will connect
with the company's high-speed, linn
ted stop coaSt-to-coaSt routes. Fer
guson said, with SO cities in the
northern states across the nation be-
ing linked by the new air system.
Inclusion of these communities
in the Northwest Airlines route net
work, he declared, would place them
within a matter of hours of Homo
lulu, Alaska, Tokyo, Shanghai and
Manila on routes the company Is
seeking beyond the continental bor-
ders Of the country, he said.
The company is now awaiting the
report of the CAB examiners, Fer
guson disclosed. This report will be
turned over to the board for con-
sideration by that body in making
its final decision.
