PAGE ELEVEN NEW SLEEPER BUS OF LIGHT WEIGHT TO BEDSIXTEEN Super-Streamlined Coaches Incorporate New Ideas of Comfort and Economy Is 35 Feet in Length By Wiley Maloney (United Picas Staff Correspondent) DETROIT, July 33. (UP) A new - fleet of super-streamlined sleeping coaches may soon be added to the more than 38.200.000 motor vehicles now shuttling about on the nation's 1.000,000-mlle webworlc of hard sur faced highway. The first of the new machines a red and cream dreadnaught pro Tides regulation "pullman" berths for 18 persons In eight sections or for 24 persons If th "lowers" double up. The bus was designed for In tercity service by automobile and aeronautical engineers. Sleep buses are not a new Idea, but the new coach, Its designers claim, Incorporates new Ideas of economy and comfort not Included In models now In use. There are two sleeper coaches In trans-continental opera tion and six others travel between Kansas City and Los Angeles. A foreign line operates a modern trailer-type coach service on the 600 des ert miles between Damascus and Baghdad. Paul W. Seller, former president of General Motors truck division who heads the new company, said the coach "keynotes" comfort and econ omy In operation. The new coach, which Is 39 feet long, eight feet wide and 10 feet, eight Inches high, la said to be the lightest bus of Its kind ever built. The body and chassis Is built of Dow metal, one-third lighter than alum inum and of about the same strength as mild steel. This Is the metal's first use In proposed volume production of commercial buses. J Romeo . A I I I . v , J r it i J T.

Closing time for Too Late to Clas si It Ads Is 1 :30 p m. TO MEET AIR THREAT LONDON, Eng. (UP) Important changes In British navsl tactics and Strategy, due to the threat of inten sified air and submarine attack, are foreshadowed by the great program of new construction snd moderniza tion now In hand. Hector C. Bywattr, Dally Telegraph naval correspondent, believes. , Among the new types Indicative of the modified plan of fleet organiza tion, he writes, are anti-aircraft cruis ers, of which the navy has two of 39 knots speed snd soon will get five morel the tubal glass. of super-destroyers, the first modern fleet gun boats built for any navy and are due to enter service next year, and motor torpedo boats, which are cred ited with a speed of more than 40 knots. Each of these types apparently has been developed to dovetail Into a carefully devised plan to enable the battle fleet to move freely and with comparative safety In areas where hostile aircraft, submarines and light surface forces might be encountered In maximum strength. The cruising formation In the dan ger zone, according to Bywater, probably would be: Past mine-sweepers ahead, followed by one or more altl-alrcraft cruisers; battleships pro tected on either flank by light cruis ers and heavy destroyers, with one or two anti-aircraft cruisers astern. The cruisers and heavy destroyers would be screened In their turn by smaller destroyers or high-speed mo tor torpedo boats thst are equipped with depth charges end smoke-making apparatus. Certain ships would be fitted with the new submarine listening devices which have been brought to a re markable state of efficiency. Hostile aircraft aproachlng from any direction would come under the fire of perhaps as many as 150 heavy anti-aircraft guns, besides numerous multiple pom-poms, and lighter ma chine guns. When all the ships now building or undergoing reconstruc tion are in service the navy's volume of anti-aircraft fire will be doubled. Further, the battle fleet Itself might ISOLATION ENDED FOR TINY ISLAND BY CLIPPER SHIPS SAN FRANCISCO (UP) The ex tension of the Pan-American Clipper service from Manila to Hong Kong j has brought relief to what Is prob ably one of the most beleaguered groups of men In the world. The group consists of fiO Chinese on the little Island of Pratas, some 200 miles southeast of Hong Kong and directly on the line of flight of the Clipper service. Pratas has become famoua in Asiatic waters for two reasons, first as a graveyard for more ships than probably any other spot In the world. and secondly as occupying the path way of virtually every typhoon that sweeps the China seas. Because of the constant and ser ious menace of the reef to Chinese coastal trade the Chinese government established there a radio and weather station operated by 50 Chinese. They bad the double duty of making weather reports and reports on every ship that found its Davy Jones' locker there. Under the arrangements with the Chinese government, the ' 50 men were obliged to remain on the Island for six months at a time without postal communications from the mainland, except as a wrecked ship left them a few old newspapers or other documents. With the Inauguration of the Clip per service from China a bundle of the latest Chinese newspapers is dropped to the men on every weekly flight. be able to put into the air about 160 aircraft from Its carriers and cat- j apult ships, the majority of these j being fighters. Eventually the fleet may have its own permanent air escort when at sea In the form of machines of an Improved auto-gyro type- Another likely development Is the arming of airships, from battleships to destroyers, with "dual purpose" guns, which can be used with equal effect against air and surface targets.
