The United states. Prance. Great Britain and Germany, each of the first three with Its favorite airplane types and chosen routes, and the last named with airships, will .try to clinch their positions In the coming year. If not actually running regu lar air routes within the next 13 months, they will at least have the most Important part of their prelimi nary study done, aoutes will be mapped, organization arrangements will be under way, and perhaps even plans for hangars, seaplane landing places and other ground work will be accomplished.

This picture was rushed to London and sent by radio to New York. (Associated Press Photo tlms when separately or tn pools they will begin exploitation. In heavler-than-alr craft the United States Is conceded by European experts to be farthest advanced. France at tbe end of 1635 seems next best prepared to undertake final study of a regular North Atlantic seaplane line, and England appears In third place. Ger many remains faithful to Zeppelins. For a regular Atlantlo route Prance, experienced In ocean traffic as a re sult of the highly successful South Atlantlo mall line from Dakar, Sene gal, to Natal, Brazil, places the most stock tn huge seaplanes like the fa mous 37-ton Lieutenant Paris. Be sides these, several of which are pro jected, the air ministry and commer cial experts are studying an aerial giant that would weigh 60 tons and easily carry more than 100 persons. Favors Azores Ronte The French feel that the most feasible route Is the southernmost, namely, by way of the Azores and Bermuda, and they are losing no time In making a detailed study of it. Lieutenant Nomy, who was named by the air ministry to head a apeclal mission .to the Azores, has made ex tensive reconnaissance flights over the Islands, noting the best places for landings. Early In the spring several other experts will proceed to the Azores, where they will carry the study further and map the necessary ground work. Later. If Brltlan I willing, nego tiations will be opened either to ob tain permission for ' French line to use aviation facilities at Bermuda, or for Joint FYs n co-British exploitation. Whlls th United States devoted most of Its attention to the Pacific during 1936. ths Atlantlo was not for gotten. The remarkable performance of planes like the Glenn Martin China Clipper and the four-motored Sikorsky 8-42 s have definitely been borne In mind with an eye to estab lishing an air link with Europe, Non-Stop Flights Possible But ths most outstanding American project as viewed from abroad la the still embryo plan for a fleet of 50-tou Glenn Martina that could, tt U be lieved, make regular North Atlantic non-stop flight. Non-stop flight an more costly than voyages such as ths French planes would make with stops at the Azores and Bermuda, but they would be much faster. The great liners now cross In 00 hours, and airplanes should cut the tlms In half If they are to compets. British are understood to be plan ning to test big seaplanes of their own soon. Meanwhile they are study ing the problem of North Atlantic transportation with a view to form ing a pool wi st either the United States or Prance. Imperial Airways is negotiating with Pan-American Air ways for the possible formation, of a pool. Design Novel Plana While all the countries Interested have airplane types of their own with which they are experimenting, the Italians have come forward with a machine which has aroused consider able attention In Franco and England aa a possible trans-oceanic candidate. Thla la the four-motored land plane Plaggto, which can carry 15 passen gers at great speed and, what la most important, can float. Germany, at the beginning at least, Is certain to use Zeppelins for North Atlantic crossings. The unparalleled success of the Graf Zeppelin will make the Germans continue to use this type craft. The Graf Itself is getting old, but next spring the "130" will be ready, and plans are under way for it to make 13 flights a year to the' United States, using the air ports of Miami and Lake hurst In America and Frledrlchsbafen and Se ville In Europe. The French, Incidentally, are In terested In this German dirigible ser vice because at Orly Mrdrome near Paris they have some- of ths best fa cilities for Zeppelins In tbe world. The suggestion Is being made that some sort of agreement for the "ISO'' to land at Orly be reached. New Shop Open at 203 South Front.

T Membership la aa old English school society traUy had united two men on opposlU. sides of the world In what gave promise of growing Into a lasting friendship. Neither has erar mat toe other, one bad graduated from the school a quasar oeniurr be. fore the other and It wa only the roster of the aootetj that brought mem together. The story wss told today by St. X. Porman. retL'ed rancher now living a short d.stanoe outside the city on route one. When Mr. rorman gradkiated from Repton school In Drroyahlne. England, 90 years ago, he Joined the Reptonlan aooletjr. Mot long afterward he emi grated to the United States and as years ago came to southern Oregon where he has since resided. Mr. Form an though little more about the Reptonlan society until thla week when he received an air nail lettr from Robert W. Barnes. Westlanda, Kenya colony, British East Africa, who graduated from the school about 23 years after Mr. Porman. The letter related that Mr. Barnes had come across Mr. Formsn's name on the Reptonlan society roster and was motivated In writing by a de sire to establish contact with a fra ternal brother In Oregon. He aald then was only one other Reptonlan living In this state, and he resides !n Portland. Mr. Barnes stated that he was In tbe business of raising Pyre thrums, a flower used In making Insecticide. He was Interested In procuring an effici ent drier fo ths flowers, and as ne had read a great deal about Oregon fruit and drying methods, he thought Mr. Porman mlgni be able to obtain helpful Information from the state agricultural oollege and horticultur ists In this state He specified the kind of drier he was seeking and a&ked Mr. Porman If he would assist In gathering helpful Information. Mr. Porman appeared delighted at hearing from a fellow Reptonlan In so distant a land, and has already be gun to collect the Information Mr. Barnes seeks. Are you a member of Ethelwyn B.
