(/P)—Air-plane engines constitute the chief problem confronting German Aerial naviga tion today, in the opinion of Dr. Wal ther Huth, president of the German Airvehiele Manufacturers’ Associa tion. German engines, he stated at the- annual -meeting of the associa tion, are not big enough for trans Atlantic flying. While airplane and airship construction is on a -high le vel in all other respects, he observed, the question of more effective en gines must be given special attention. Dr. Huth agrees with Clarence D. Chamberlin, who emphasized that trans-oceanic flights are simply a question of “bigger and better en gines.” Director Otto J. Merkel of the Luf thansa, another speaker at the ann ual meeting, agreed with Dr. Huth as far as motors are concerned, but insisted that numerous instruments for night and fog flights -must be added to the equipment of air pilots before flying will be perfectly safe.
