MANY PERSONS
Organisation la Effected
To Widen Scope Of
Work in City
The Hawkins-Ramsay evangelis-
tic meetings being held in the Cro-
mack building are increasing in in-

and the ministers of the city an
organisation was effected to widen
the scope of the meetings and to
make them a city-wide force and

BY PAUL HARRISON
NEA Service Writer
NEW YORK. April 9—The five-
power shipbuilding race for Atlantic
supremacy is on. Whatever hap-
pens to the London parley for re-
duction of navies its conferees may
derive some satisfaction from the
fact that this greatest maritime
contest in history is concerned only
with the swift cruisers and super-
dreadnaughts of peaceful commerce.
Wlille the Europa. of the North
German Lloyd line holds the speed
record for the Atlantic crossing —
4 days. 17 hours—the United States.
Great Britain France and Italy all
are planning swift new liners to
contend for the blue ribbon.
Until the Bremen sister ship of
the Europa won the title In 1929.
the Cunard liner Mauretania had
been undisputed mistress of the
ocean for 20 years Not since the
days of the old Yankee clinper ships
has the United States made a single
gesture toward regaining supremacy.
U. S. In Speed Race
Now however with steel and
steam the United States lines are
promising to write a new epic of
the sea. In the hands of the navy
department at Washington await-
ing official approval are plans for
two new liners which “will surpass
in speed anything now afloat or
contemplated.”
They are named Leviathan IT and
Leviathan III. and are to be built
In this country under the supervi-
sion of Theodore E. Ferris. New
York architect and engineer who
has designed more ships than any
other man In the world. During the
war he was in charge of building
up the great emergency fleet of the
V. 8. Shipping Board.
“The vessels” said Ferris confl
idently "not only will be the tast-
iest but will excel In luxury and
comfort anything on the sea.
"They will be at least 930 feet In
length and will have the maximum
beam permitting them to pass
through the Panama Canal. This
is an emergency provision since
the ships must be available to the
government in time of war.
Faster Than Europa
"Their contract speed will be 28
1-2 knots powered by geered turbine
engines or turbo-electric drive on
their quadruple screws. Added fac-
tors in spieed will be new-style boil-
ers permitting Increased steam pres-
sure. the use of oil for fuel and
new principles of stream-lined hull
and superstructure."
The much-vaunted bulbous bows
of the Bremen and Europa are not.
according to Perris the product of
foreign genius. Germans were the
first to emnloy these In merchant
vessels but American naval en-
gineers have been using them for
years. The design which results in
more water passing below the hull
instead of along the sides thus re-
ducing friction is a feature of the
airplane carriers Bnratoea ami Lex-
inrton still the fastest large craft
afloat.
"We are not going to borrow any-
thing from abroad ” Ferris declared.
"Even the interiors will be done
strictly In American style. A com-
mittee of American decorators al-
rradv Is at work on this phase of
construction ”
Two New T.eriaihans
The new Leviathans will post
about *30 000 000 each nnd shou’d be
ready for sendee In 1933. Many of
the details of line power and fit-
ting are and probably will remain
closely guarded secrets. The "con
tract speed.” for instance since It
is only slightly above the average
of the Europas record-breaking
maiden voyage can be considered
only as a minimum for the American
ships.
But the leading companies of
Europe are jujst as confident as the
U. S. Lines of showing a stern to
all Atlantic competition. Plans hav’
been completed in Italy for two
monster ships capable of at least
28 1-2 knots. The Cunard line of
England out to regain the honors
lost by its Mauretania has designed
a speedy vessel of approximately
60 000 tons—the tonnage of the
present leviathan.
The White Star Line also of Eng
land laid the keel of a 50000-ton
supperllner to have been called the
Oceanic only to scrap it when the
Bremen’s maiden voyage proved the
advantages of modern design. It Is
reported that plans now are being
made for an improved Oceanic of
still greater tonnage.
Undaunted by the announce-
ments an official of the French
Line has declared definitely that in
1934 his company would be operat-
ing the "largest and fastest pas-
senger vessel in the world.” He of-
fered no description beyond stating
that it Is to be more than 1000
feet In length and will have a speed
exceeding 30 knots. It was tacitly
admitted that final plans may be
altered to keep ahead of subsequent
developments In the race between
the four other nations.
"Speed is an economic as well as
an engineering problem.” pointed
out J. Tilller. associate represent-
ative of the French Line in New
York. "As fuel and engine space in-
creases. in the interest of speed
passenger accommodations must be
cut down. Somewhere' in this process
you would reach the point where
oneratlon no longer would be profit-
able.
"The war brought construction to
a standstill and the only passen-
ger liners built for the Atlantic
trade in the last fifteen years are
the lie de France Bremen and Eu-
ropa.”
This latter pair observers believe
will not be Germany’s only bid for
the speed crown. The 50-year mer-
ger. Just announced of the Ham-
burg-American and North German
Lloyd companies has resulted in one
of the most powerful marine organ-
izations in the world. Their mer-
chant fleets reduced almost to ex-
tinction by the Treaty of Versailles
already have grown to about 80 per
cent of their pre-war strength.

Naval Treaty Wanes
LONDON. April 9—OF)—Profes-
sions of optimism head in some
quarters that a five power limit-
ation treaty still might be achieved
here were taken by most naval con-
: fere nee observers today with a
grain of salt.
Pew saw how anything more than
a three-power treaty of limitation
j was possible since there was abun-
j dant indication—if no other ob-
! stacles existed—that Italy would
not give up her contention for par-
ity with France and France stead-
fastly refused even to consider such
I an arrangement.
