In a series of successiui t?Rts this week, presaged the pro cluctlon of low-priced planes with standard automobile engines. 1 A two-plRrrhtph-winp monoplane, v the llttlo ship was powered with a regular Plymouth engine, which performed perfectly aa the plane went throufih its tests. As the result of the tests, the United States department of com merce placed an order for another Plymouth -powered ship to be con st ructed immediately. The order was placed through the Amplex Di vision of Chrysler Motors. The new ship will be priced much lower than the average plane on (the market, todny. It was pointed out that it alo will offer lower maintenance and replacement costs because engine parts will be avail able at automobile dealers. The plane Is capable erf a maxi mu m speed of 1 20 miles an hour and a cruising speed of approxi mately 100 miles an hour. It has dual controls for instruction pur poses. The plane weighs 1 .078 pounds, minus gasoline, water and oil. It la equipped with a Plymouth instru ment panel. The automobile instru ments have been converted for air craft use. The enaine in the plane is a jetandard six-cylinder Plymouth mo I tor. developed by Chrysler engineers. It was selected, after an investiga tion of other automobile engines, because of its favorable power-weight ratio. This engine has high pres sure lubrication, a feature that keeps it in perfect operating con dition at sustained high speeds and makes it particularly desirable for aircraft use. STATES REGULATE SCHOOL CARRIERS WASHINGTON. D. C. May 25. (Spl.) Protection of lives of school children particularly when being tran sported in school buses to and from their classes, has received widespread consideration from state legislatures holding sessions during the early part J of Hits year, "the American Automo ' bile association reported today. Basing its statement on a recent survey of legislative trends, the na tional motoring body said that some 2ft bills dealing specifically with the question of providing safety for paa sencers In school buses have been Introduced in state legislatures dur ing recent or current sessions. "The importance of this subject," said Thoi. P. Henry of Detroit. Mich., president of the A. A. A., "can be readily appreciated when we remem ber that 68.000 buses transport near ly 2.500 .000 children daily to and from consolidated schools throughout the country.

While some of the proposals may be impractical, the objective Itself Is en tirely praiseworthy. "A bill introduced in Maryland would require all motor vehicles to stop behind school buses loading or unloading passengers, while similar measures advanced in Oregon and New Hampshire would compel vehi cles to slow down when passing a stopped school bus. Nearly all states have measures requiring school buses to come to a complete stop at grade crossings. 'The greater portion of other pend ing legislation deals larcely with con struction of safety features Into the school bus. Kansas. North Carolina and North Dakota propose compulsory safety glass In all school buses; Geor gia and Iowa propose safety glass. and steel construction of the bus and Indiana proposes safety glass, steel construction and regulnr Inspection by traffic authorities. Thirteen states already require inspection. "Bills introduced In Indinna. Kan sas, New York. Ohio and Utah would reijuiie school buses to be painted red, white and blue, so that they would be easily recognizable. "The matter of providing insurance for school buses has received, and is continuing to receive, attention bv legislatures. Compulsory insurance for school buses has been proposed In Ohio and Vermont. Eight states al ready require the, carrying of such Insurance. "A. A.
