George WASHINGTON lP Amertoan avia tion enters 1834 maintaining world leadership In scheduled transporta tion and moving definitely toward that long-cherished goal of blrdmen establishment of regular transat lantic service. Indications are that air line or the United States in 1933 set new records for number of passengers carried for total number of miles and of passenger miles flown. Some half-rnllllon persona rode in air transports. . Lindberghs Blaze Trails Plans for Unking the United States and Europe by air service were dramatized by Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, who cli maxed a route-Investigating- tour with a 16-hour hop of 1875 miles over the south Atlantlo from: Africa to Brazil, on their return trip to the United States, Government aeronautical officials express the opinion that safe and reliable transoceanic service can be operated In the near future by air ships, by large flying boats and by airplanes using a proposed sea drome airway a lane of floating platforms at 600-mile Intervals In the Atlantlo. Six big planes, each, powered by four huge motors, are being built by Pan-American airways for transat lantic operation. With accommo dations for more than SO passen gers, in addition to mall, these planes are said to be the largest yet built for commercial use. ' Test Planned Over Caribbean The first of these to be completed will be thoroughly tested In the Ca ribbean "laboratory" on flights be tween North America and South America pending Inauguration of the Atlantlo service, which is chiefly dependent upon the obtaining of mall contracts. Among routes considered are from Newfoundland via Greenland; from Newfoundland over the great circle route to Ireland; from. New foundland southeast to the Azores and Lisbon; from Miami, Florida, to Bermuda, the Azores and Lisbon and aoross the South Atlantlo from Natal, Brazil, to Cape Verde, Africa, Trend To High Speeds Air liners In the United States flew 4.667,717 miles In July, 1933, setting a new mark in scheduled air transportation . Monthly mileage both In July and August exceeaea the total for the first six months of 1928. Government aeronautlo officials say one of the most notable develop ments In air transportation during 1933 was the trend toward twin. englned high speed planes. Aver age speed was Increased materially. The new air liners carry from 10 to 16 or more passengers and cruise at speeds of from 140 to nearly 200 miles an hour. Government experts say these - speeds nave been made possible in large measure by gen eral streamlining and by the use of retractable landing gear. 'Blind landing' Aids Devised Development of the department of commerce radio system as an aid to "blind landing" of aircraft Is rated one of the most important ac compllshments of the year.- This system enables a plane to land at an airport entirely obscured oy log, The aeronautics branch of the de partment of commerce has begun work on the establishment of 2000 new landing fields under the civil works program for relief of unenv ployed. The projects-involves ex. pendtture of more than tlO.000,000. Mrs. Muriel Lachance, 111 for the last year of cancer, died at her home at 1703 Oak street yesterday after noon.
