Planes Out of Passenger Use § Only Until Tests Are Made, Officials Explain. Anthony H. G. Fokker and his engi- neers resumed their conferences to- day with Clarence M. Young Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Ae ‘nautics, and ecngineers of the ael nautics branch of the department in an ef- fort to work out methods for :.ispect- ing the interior structure of the wings of 35 Fokker tri-motored transports of the 1920 serles ordered “‘grounded” for | passenger purposes by the department. The department made clear that the planes have not been condemned and that they have been banned for pa senger carrying only until some sat factory method can be worked out for inspecting the interior construction cf the wings to determine whether there has been dangerous deterioration in two years of use. The Fokker wings are of all-wood construction and are covered with ply- wood. This makes it impossible to see the interior of the wing without break- ing the plywood wing surface, it was explained. The department wants to make certain the wooden spars and ribs inside are in good condition before the planes are permitted to go back in pas- senger service. The conferences now in progress are being held to work out a plan for making these inspections to the satisfaction of the department without wrecking the wings Planes Used for Mails. Both Mr. Fokker and Mr. Young ¢ pressed the hope today that the p lems would be solved to the satisfa tion of all concerned within a short time. Some of the 35 planes affected by the order were being flown today in mail and express service, but they have been replaced by other planes for pas- senger service on the four lines owning the 35 two-year-old Fokkers Transcontinental & Western _Air, through its president, Harris M. Han- shue, announced here today that the schedules of that line have not been interfered with in any way, though the company, learning in advance last Sat- urday of the department's ruling, volun- tarily withdrew its 1929 Fokkers from passenger service. Fokker Is Defiant. Fokker last night issued his first etatement since the action of the d partment on Monday, declaring “the United States will not see airplanes blown from the sky merely by the error of maintenance of one operator.” He would not say whether this referred to the Kansas crash in which Knute K Rockne, Notre Dame foot ball coach, and seven others were killed. +I am battling for my reputation,” | Fokker said. “At present [ am occupied | with only another battle for our prod- | ucts Our company will still maintain its leading position in the industry. “The Army Air Corps ordered the first series of my two-engined ‘flying wing’ | observation planes designed in competi- | tion with the domestic industry. They also recently ordered 20 airplanes of a | commercial type to be adapted as light Army transport and ambulance planes after testing every type of competitive planes in that class. Works on New Designs. “The Coast Guard has placed an order for a number of flying patrol boats based on special features which ;:0 okthor competitive design could dup- cate. “The Fokker Aircraft Corporation is | working on newer and more economic | commercial airplanes of basically new design. I also have definite plans for | a new type of Army fighting equipment which will change present methods of | air combat. This development is wait- | ing only the completion of our present commercial and military program. “We are going to stay in the air. New designs for airplanes may be ex- pected soon and they will, as always, make the old designs obsolete. The Fokker Co. cannot be blamed for fail- ure of some one transport operator to provide proper upkeep for his planes.” ' JOHN BELL LARNER.
