NEW YORK— (A>) —Grateful
Dutch have asked their govern-1

In the nearby city of Maastricht
the residents of entire city blocks
are joining together to tend a
number of graves. Plans have also
been prepared to erect a memo

up their lives when the Allies
drove the Germans from the prov

In addition to taking care of
the graves, the Dutch living near
the cemetery would keep relatives
in the United States informed of
* scheduled memorial services.

PLANES TO TRAVEL
7 MILES A MINUTE
»
Details of a program for the
production of the Rainbow, the
world’s fastest transport plane,
which will cruise through the
stratosphere at nearly seven miles
a minute, were completed by the
Republic Aviation Corp., and Pan
American World Airways in New
York recently, it was learned at
the airline’s Seattle office.
The new Republic-built Clip
pers called Rainbows, could fly
from Seattle to Tokyo in 12 hours,
over Pan American’s proposed
Seattle-Orient route via Alaska, J.
V. Roscoe, assistant manager at
Seattle, said. Shanghai, Canton
and Manila—two weeks’ distance
by fast boat from Seattle—would
be less than 17 hours, Rainbow
flying time, from Seattle.
While the guaranteed cruising
i speed of these new Clippers, big
brothers of the famous Republic
1 built P-47 Thunderbolts, is 400
i miles an hour, their high speed
will exceed 450 miles an hour. De
livery of the first six planes now
i on order by Pan American is ex
j pected to start within 22 months.
With a cylindrical fuselage,
j fully pressurized for flying in
comfort in the stratosphere, pas
! sengers will travel in air cabins
for above the weather, at 40,000
feet cruising levels. Equipped for
long trans-continental and trans
oceanic schedules, the new Rain
bow-type Clippers will have ac
commodations for 40 passengers
and cfew, in addition to mail and
cargo. Man will travel faster than
1 he has ever traveled before, ex
[cept in fighter planes.
On domestic routes for which
Pan American has applied, these
super-fast Clippers could fly from
New York to Seattle in little over
six hours, on non-stop express
, schedules. They will fly from
New York to London in 9 hours.
On Pan American’s pioneer trans
pacific routes, the Clippers could
cross from San Francisco to Cal
cutta, India in 18 hours.
Just short of 100 feet in length,
with a wing span of 129 feet the
Rainbow will have a gross weight
of 113,250 pounds. It will be pow
1 ered by four turbo-super-charged
