tercity service by automobile and
aeronautical engineers.
Sleep buses are not a new Idea, but
the new coach, Its designers claim,

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.

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.
