The berths aboard the giant so-passengu plane, provide ample room for two persons. By ANDREW R. BOONE Central Press Correspondent LOS ANGELES, Cal.—In the| testing laboratories and on dight courses, grim war is being waged. Upon the results of this conflict | depend the airplanes in which you | will ride during coming years. Four air giants are being groomed by a quartet of manu- facturers. Each hopes to capture the airlines. First to reach the airlines is the | a sleak| Lockheed Constellation, four-engine job capable of span- ning the nation in 10 hours, with perhaps a single stop. That's some seven hours faster than the dependable twin-engine jobs most of the airlines use today. ‘This 300-mile-an-hour transport only recently! passed stringent tests laid down by the Civil Aero- nautics board, and has been ap- proved for airline use. Connie can take off with a full weight of 90,- 000 pounds, take off with one engine off, land over a 50-foot obstacle and come to a halt in 2,400 feet. Connie is the first post-war air- plane to have a pressurized cabin. Pumps force air into the cabin to maintain a pressure equivalent to 18,000 feet altitude, no matter how ‘high the plane may fly. That ‘means greater comfort for the passengers. Too, refrigeration units will }(cup the tempcrature near the 75- RECENT VISITORS T0 DELEGATE BARTLETT Fred Machetanz, wellknown in Alaska for his children’s bocks on the Territory, called on Delegate Bartlett while in Washington.

This one will| be completely pressurized, heated |and cooled—to maintain a temper- ature of 70 degrees in all weather. Somewhat larger than the C-54, so widely used by the armed forces, the DC-6 will be 80 inches | longer and 60 miles an hour faster than its 240-mile-an-hour prede- cessor. The DC-6 can carry 70 passengers sitting up, or a smaller number in berths. Two Decks in This One | Third to be produced will be the; | Boeing Stratocruiser. Unlike/| former planes, this one will carry two decks. More than 100 com- binations can be provided, for various hauling jobs. Standard version will transport 57 passengers and cargo space equivalent to 100 home type re- frigerators. The Stratocruiser will fly faster than any airplane now in service, clipping off 340 miles an hour. It is in reality a double Superfor- tress, for the upper deck rides pic- a-back atop the lower. Its fuselage looks like an inverted figure eight. Some time ago nne of these planes flew non-stop from Seattle, Wash., to Washington, D. C,, in a few minutes over six hours. In this one, passengers will fly at sea level presure up to 15,000 feet, but no more than 6,000 feet high no matter to what altitude the plane may climb. visitor in Delegate Bartlett'’s offict durm'v a vacation trip to the capi- Misg Meals, formerly librarian at lhr‘ University of Alaska, is now librarian at Colby Junior College in New London, New Hampshire.

A fleet of these 204-passenger planes will appear sometime in 1946. These clippers will carry more passengers than any airplane in the world. Their wings span more than double the length of the Liberator bomber’s wings. Each weighs 320,000 pounds, and can cruise across the nation or the oceans at 342 miles an hour. This brings London within about nine hours from New York. Model 37's six engines will pro- duce power equivalent to 353 average automobile engines. Like the Stratocruiser, Model 37 will be completely double deck. Lux- urious passenger facilities and a number of rest rooms will make travel comfortable. What do these planes mean to the traveller? Ten hours, coast to coast. You can leave New York City at midnight, after attending the theater, and land in California at 7 a. m. Remember the three- hour time difference! You can land at Shanghai, China, about 21 hours out of San Francisco. That's 31, days better than by pre-war airplanes. The manufacturers are building speed, safety and comfort into these goliaths. They will usher in a completely new era of transpor- tation.
