Pioneer Designer Surprises
Industry—Would Use New
“Super-Clipper/'
BV JOSEPH S. EDGERTON.
Glenn L. Martin, aviation pioneer
end builder of such famous types of
airplanes as the giant clipper flying
boats now flying the Pacific and the
Army B-10 bombardment planes which
have been making military history for
three years, today filed with the Com
merce Department informal notice of
his intention to establish a non-stop
trans-Atlantic air transport service.
Martin signified his intention of go
ing into the ocean service, in competi
tion with Pan-American Airways and
British Imperial Airways, now pre
paring to establish joint service be
tween the United States and England.
For this service, Martin notified
Assistant Secretary of Commerce J.
Monroe Johnson, he has designed the
world’s largest transport flying boat.
This giant aircraft will be capable of
carrying 40 passengers, 5,000 pounds
of mail, express and light cargo and
fuel sufficient for 5.000 miles of non
stop flight. Thus would give a range
1.500 miles greater than the great
circle route across the Atlantic, he
said.
Less Than 19 Hours.
This "super-clipper" would have an
average speed of 175 miles per hour
at only 53'- per cent of its total en
gine power. Martin informed Col.
Johnson. Such a cruising speed would
permit eastbound service from the
United States to continental Europe
In 18 hours and 45 minutes and west
bound service, against the prevailing
Winds, in 21 hours.
Martin, who now is president of
the Glenn L. Martin Co., w hich oper
ates a large airplane construction
plant near Baltimore, said that he is
organizing another company to han
dle the ocean air transport service
and that in the near future he expects
bins company to become a factor in
the rapidly developing trans-Atlantic
Bir transportation picture.
Last week Col. Johnson sent to
the Canadian government a letter ap
proving the designation of New York
and Montreal as bases for the joint
Fan-American-Imperial service. Pan
American Airways now is building al
ternative "bad-weather bases" at Bal
timore and Charleston, S. C.
Ships Ready to Pioneer.
Imperial Airways has a large ocean
type flying boat at Bermuda in readi
ness to undertake experimental opera
tion to New' York and Montreal and
has two sister ships, one at a trans
Atlantic base established in Ireland
near the mouth of the River Shannon
end the other in England. These two
ehips are soon to pioneer the northern
route to Canada and the United
States.
Pan-American ana imperial are
planning alternative routes, one by
way of Iceland, Greenland and New
foundland and the other by way of
the Azores and Bermuda.
Martin's decision to enter the ocean
transport field came as a surprise
here. Although Martin has been a
world leader in aviation since about
1915, this will be his first large venture
In the field of airplane operations.
Martin’s fame was gained as an
airplane designer and builder and he
has produced virtually every type of
Army, Navy and commercial aircraft
during his long career. His noted
Martin bomber of the late World War
period was the standard bombardment
airplane of the Army for many years
and was used in such operations as the
sinking of the surrendered German
battleship Ostfriesland and smaller
ships in tests which were in part re
sponsible for the controversy which
tore the Army and Navy and resulted
In the court-martial trial of the late
Brig. Gen William Mitchell.
B-10 Bomber Makes History,
His more recent B-10 bomber, the
first of the new' high-speed types which
have resulted in rewriting of the tac
tics of the Army Air Corps end estab
lishing of the bombardment type as
the backbone of the Nation's air de
fenses, also has figured In many
notable achievements. Ten of these
new' Martin’s made history in the
round-trip flight from Washington to
Alaska led by Brig. Gen Henry H.
Arnold. More recently they have par
ticipated In one-stop formation flights
from Langley Field, Va., to Panama
and return. Two squadrons of these
ships now have made the Panama
cruise.
Three Martin clippers now are being
operated by Pan-American Airways
across the Pacific from San Francisco
to Hong Kong, China. They are four
engined aircraft, with a wing span of
about 130 feet and are the largest ever
built.
The Pacific clippers, however, will
be dwarfed by the new giant designed
by Martin for the Atlantic service.
The assembly section of the Martin
plant now is being enlarged to permit
construction of the new ships, details
of which have not yet been made
public.
Journalistic halls of fame are
maintained at Ohio State University
and the University of Illinois.

29 PASSENGERS SAVED
Taken From Miami-Bound Clip
per, Forced Down Off Brazil.
SANTOS, Brazil, April 5 OP).—
Twenty-nine passengers aboard a
Miami-bound Pan-American clipper
were brought, safely to shore last night
when rough weather forced the plane
down off this port.
Heavy waves damaged the plane's
rudder and prevented the pilot from
taxiing to shore. Police launches
took off the passengers, crew and
mail, and the plane later was beached
without damage.
The clipper was expected to continue
toward Rio de Janeiro today.

Mother and Daughter Killed
in Los Angeles—Fin
gerprints Found.
ff» the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, April 5.--Smudgy
fingerprints and the outline of a man's
foot speeded police search today for
the brickbat killer who crushed the
skulls of Mrs. Edna A. Worden, 48,
W. P. A. worker, and her 12-year-old
daughter, Marguerite Estelle.
It was the sixth case since January
of brickbat assaults against women
here.
Mother and daughter were slain
early Sunday morning in their small
Hillside apartment, a block from the
rumble of downtown Los Angeles
traffic. Apparently neither victim was
criminally attacked. Autopsy Surgeon
A. P. Wagner said. The mother's
purse was on the floor, turned inside
out. Bureau drawers and a letter file
had been strewn about.
The killer struck each victim at
least four times with the brick. Dis
ordered bedclothing indicated Mrs.
Worden had struggled desperately.
Until yesterday, the most brutal
brickbat case here this year was the
slaying of Mrs. Rose G. Valdez, 20,
near the crib of her baby, March 2.
A bloodstained brick was found in a
wastebasket. The killer eluded cap
ture.
Four other women in recent weeks
have been beaten with bricks by a
mysterious assailant.
Detectives said the killer of the
Wordens entered through a kitchen
window after stealthily removing his
size 11 shoes. Plaster casts of his
footprints showed the w’ool fibers of
his socks.
