In piloting a trl-motored Bach to a height of 20,000 feet, a new American payload altitude record and the first official altitude record for a three-motored plane, Waldo Waterman, manager of the Metropolitan Airport and test pilot for the Bitch Aircraft company, not only brought to California another record to add to the score or more of aerial marks already held in this state, but demonstrated that the manufacturers of California aerial products are more than holding their own with the rest of the country. 'l he former American navload altitude record of 16,733 feet made with a load of 1000 kilograms, approximately 2200 pounds, was held Capt.

Harold Harris of McCook DoytonrOhior on his teat flight, on which he can-led a deadweight load of pounds, equivalent to fourteen pas sengers, averaging 160 pounds each, Waterman used a. stock, ten- place pRHsenger transport Plane. manufactured In the Bach Aircraft company's factory at Metropolitan Airport, los Angeles.

Waterman said the plane climbed the first 18,000 feet In forty minutes and that it required nearly an hour to pull it tip the other 2000 feet to 20,000. lie wa in the air two hours and twelve minutes. He used an oxy-gen smoking set, made by Capt. Cecil Virdin of Los Angeles fire department Instead of the oxygen mask frequently worn itor high altitude work.

Sixty-five of the veils, ghostly remnants oja mighty war-time gesture, are tied up In the Potomac river, waiting to be dismantled, burned and sent to the bottom. of Mallows bay, near Quantlco, Va. They are the property of the Western Marine and Salvage company, which already has scrapped 158 cargo carriers for their equipment, Iron and saleable It is the fortune of war; Had the conflict continued these craft would have braved the enemy on the high seas, carrying cargo as a part of the United States shipping board's proposed emergency fleet of 1017 German submarines and gun-fire virtually had cleared the ocean of American craft and the high command believed that if troops ever reached France the United States would have no ships to carry food and equipment across the sea. EMERGENCY ELEET. On August 3, 1917, the resources ot the nation were thrown behind a gigantic undertaking creation of an emergency fleet.

Part of the scheme was to put into service In the shortest possible time anything and everything that would float. Work started on 1017 wooden vessels. In little more than a year the armistice' was signed. Only a few of the wooden ships had seen duty. They were part of under con struction, principally In private shipyards.

Contracts for tlio re maining 428( were canceled. MANY SOLI). Then came the question ot dis posh I. Home were completed and operated through privately owned lines. Many were sold outright, in eluding valuable ocean-going tugs.

In 1021 40 wooden ships of all classes were sold at a price averaging $60,000 nplece, as contrasted with an estimated cost of 000 each, Now the last of the unfinished hulls He In the Potomac river awaiting tholr fate. Within a year tlie remaining 65 ships will lie at rent in Mallows bay. They have been towed in from their long resting place in the James-river, rusting and rotting. They will be burned to the water's edge, hauled ashore for removal of scrap iron, and shoved back behind a vast barricade that has been built to safeguard navigation from the drifting graveyard of forgotten ships. OIL TANKER BACK FROM EAST COAST After being on the Atlantic coast for the past nine months the Union Oil -tanker Point Breeze arrived nJ the western watertront yesterday.

It is expected that the craft will load here for a return to the east. The former shipping board freighter Heber, recently sold to Japanese interests to be scrapped, has arrived at Shanghai, according to word received by the marine department of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
