The plan involves crossing Greenland. It was put forward by Dr. William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, who told the American Association for the Advancement of Science that he has discovered two big "holes" in the wind barriers that airmen heretofore have believed Impeded flight "over Greenland.

Other stops would be Southern Greenland Iceland, now patrolled by Canadian and British troops, and the British Isles. The wind, obstacle is Greenland's centrifugal storms, supposed by scientists to be the key to weather of the Northern Hemisphere.

The storms. Dr. Hobbs said, are seldom equalled elsewhere In intensity. Above this whirl there is a strong wind rotating in the opposite direction. Knowing this and by choosing the right altitude it la nearly always possible, Dr.

Hobbs said, to make a Greenland flight with a favoring tail wind. This is especially true, he said, for eastbound 'planes, a fact which might facilitate deliveries of United States 'planes to Britain. new premises in the 145Vi Sparks Street Our students are protected and two exits.
