8. Speeds high and possibly higher than four miles a minute will be established in the free-for-all Thompson land on Labor day, a glimpse at Trophy race for planes at Clevesome the entrants in the 000 event indicates. Aeronautical engineers in various parts of the United States today are putting the finishing touches on tiny racing planes designed to cop this major speed event of the nafional air races. Preparations for the race even extend across the Atlantic, where, it was learned, Richard Atcherly, member of the winning British Schneider cup team In 1929, is preparing the 1929 seaplane racer for event by the installation of wheels instead of the floats. DOZEN ENTRANTS Indications point to approximately a dozen high-speed planes in the 100-mile event, which is raced over a triangular corse ten miles long.

Some of these planes are being built behind barred doors and will not be ready for testing until a few days before the race. Others already have been flown and have been found capable of passing qualification test of 175 miles an hour. The of the aviation world are focused on the racing craft Martin Laird is developing in Chicago for the event. The plane, it is understood, is similar in design a and construction to the Solution, the plane that carried Charles (Speed) Holman to victory in the first running of the event at Chicago last year. The new Laird entry will be much faster than last year's plane and has a good chance of outpacIng the British Schneider cup machine on the short course.

Although there has been no official announcement te stories going the rounds indicate that Major James H. Doolittle, former army racing star, will pilot the Laird plane in the race. CLIPPED WINGS Another plane being developed for the race at Springfield, by Granville Brothers is a clipped wing monoplane with a supercharged Wasp Junior engine. This plane, according to information which sifted from behind the closely guarded doors, is practically a flying engine. The plane probably will be flown in the race by Robert Hall, who designed and developed the craft.

Aviation men say that a speed of 250 miles an hour easily will be established this year as compared to the speed of 201.9 miles an hour which Holman established after Capt. Arthur Page, Marine Corps pilot, crashed and was killed while setting the pace in the same classic last year. Some of the more pace will be closer 300 an optimistic even predict thales the hour than 250. DOMESTIC PORTS SEATTLE-Arrived. August 7, 5 p.

Hinkel is a grandson of John Hinkel who donated to the city of Berkeley a which now we bears his name.

Hinkel has a limited commercial license, a special for inverted flights and a license for inverted spins. Officials of the Fillmore service said Hinkel "knows his stuff" when comes to flying. He also is an expert radio operator and holds a position with a broadcasting comas radio technician. Hinkel gave his parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Hulbert Hinkel, a 45-minute exhibition of inverted flight and inverted spins at the Oakland airport Thursday. Hinkel was so pleased with the exhibition that he went for a short flight with his son-the plane stayed right side up this time, though. PASSENGER INCREASE Showing a steady increase in passengers each week, the Century Pacific Lines, carried a total of 1331 passengers during the week ending August 1 as against 1063 the previous week, 0. R. Fuller, president of the lines, declared today.

The load factor for the week was 7.2, which means that line operated at said 72 per Century cent capacity. Pacific Lines will receive two additional ships to operate a new coast route schedule which will be within the next 10 days. To date, Santa Barbara, Canta Maria and Salinas have no regular passenger service. It is planned to operate a service to these cities on approximately the same schedules now running on the inland route through Bakersfield and Fresno. EUROPE ECLIPSED American aviation has eclipsed the aeronautical achievements of all Europe within othe last five years, declared Captain G.

Q. Strom, Sweden's "Flying Ace," the aviation attache for the Swedish government at Washington, D. who sailed from San Francisco for Japan on the Y. Y. K.

liner Tatsuta Maru Thursday. Leading officer of the Swedish Royal Flying corps, Captain Strom has made a survey of American air fields, flying to the principal military, naval and commercial airports of the United States in the past 12 months. He was last in America five years ago and now continuing his study of international progress in the conquest of the sky. "In 1926, when I first came to this country," Captain Strom said, "it was my opinion that Europe still was in the lead in the matter of commercial aviation. But on this trip I see tremendous strides in the development of national airways, both for express and passengers." Captain Strom declared that California has one of the finest climates in the world for yeararound aviation activities.

He said the location of the national dirigible base at Sunnyvale is a splendid choice. Captain Strom will join Swedish legation at Tokyo in the capacity of aviation attache carry on his survey of aerial advance in various nations. COMMERCIAL AVIATION IN MEXICO GROWING MEXICO CITY, Aug. Commercial aviation in Mexico made great strides in 1930, both in mileage, passengers carried and absence of accidents, according to figures just released by the department of communications. Not one passenger lost his life in 2,400,319 miles of scheduled completed flights, the of figures show.

A total of 20,920 passengers was carried on all lines. NEW RATE WAR THREATENED AS LINES BREAK UP Four' Disagree and Cut onFruit Rates Is Set On East Bound Action taken yesterday by the American Hawaiian Line in reducing rates on eastbound dried fruits, canned goods and beans, promises to bring about a rate war among the Big Four of the intercostal shipping game. Announcement was made by the American Hawaiian offices yesterday afternoon to effect that, commencing with the sailing from Oakland of the freighter Kansan, today, rates on canned goods would be cut from 40 cents to 35 cents a hundred pounds. The rate on dried fruit is cut from 50 cents to 45 cents and on beans from 40 cents to 35 cents. The original rates have been maintained by the American Hawalian, Luckenbach, Panama Pacific and Dollar lines for some time.

Regular conference meetings have been held between the representatives of the four lines to perfect a stabilization of east bound intercostal rates. The action of the American Hawalian line comes as a complete surprise to the other lines in the conference and they are taking action to meet the jumping over fence by quoting the same rates. In addition, it is rumored, they plan to strike back at the American Hawaiian line by quoting reductions in the west bound cargoes from the east coast. Although the other lines are in agreement on action of meeting the cuts of the American Hawaiian line, the situation leaves them all on their own initiative in the quotation of rates. The cut by the American Hawailan on goods quoted was the more surprising to shippers especially as it comes dierctly at the start of the canned goods shipment season.

PORT WARDEN FOR SEATTLE NAMED SEATTLE, Aug. -S. H. Eisenbels was named Port Warden of Seattle today by Mayor Robert Haplin to succeed George E. Perpick, an appointee of former Mayor Frank Edwards.

Eisenbeis, a former president of the Merchants' Exchange and of the Waterfront Employers' association, is a veteran figure in Puget Sound shipping circles. Until recently he was manager of a pier for a dock company and previously was district manager for the McCormick Steamship company.

"electric fleet," pride of the navy, has lost its charter member. For economy's sake, the New Mexico, first battleship in the world to be equipped with electric drive, has been ordered changed to steam turbine and reduction gear propulsion, despite the department's belief that the electric ship is more formidable in battle. The New Mexico is one of three ships which are about to be modernized at a total cost of 000.

To bring the three up to date, all must provided with new and more powerful machinery. The department found alteration to provide for the latest electric power plants would be "prohibitively expensive." By equipping them with steam turbine drive these alterations will not he required. In addition some $300,000 will be saved by installing turbines of the same design all around. The decision reduces the "electrice seven--the fleet" from battleships eight West Vir- to ginia, Colorado, Maryland, California and Tennessee, the aircraft carriers Lexington and Saratoga. After he thorough trial in the navy collier Jupiter, now the second line aircraft carrier Langley, it was introduced in battleships in 1917 with the launching of the New Mexico.

In electrical propulsion the propellers are driven by electric motors energized by steam turbinedriven electrical generators, instead of through a system of turbine-driven gears. All American capital ships built since the New Mexico have been electrically propelled, on the theory that--all other factors equal-the greater mobility of electrically-driven ships give them the edge in combat.
