U, S. BOMBERS

~ Best for. Our Purposes; He Says Commenting On

British Claims.

- BALTIMORE, Md. Aug. 20 (U. P.).—Glenn L. Martin, noted build-

¥ er of warplanes, said today that

* British four-engined bombers are

“good ships,” but that their American counterparts are “the most thoroughly and accurately SEioped

: in the world.”

The president of the Glenn L.

. Martin Co. was commenting on

British claims that their heavy

i bombers are superior to American four-engined craft for the specific

purpose of carrying out mass night bombing on German cities. The British assert that their new Lancaster, for example, is the biggest and fastest bomber in the world, capable of carrying eight tons of bombs at more than 300 miles an hour. “The Lancaster is a good airplane, no doubt,” Mr. Martin said. “I am glad the British have as good & plane as they have in the Lag-

_ caster.” He added, however, that the Brit-

Mr. Martin primarily builds medium bombers, but also recently ' launched the experimental 70-ton flying boat Mars. He said he “wouldn't want to make any comparisons” as to bomb capacity, but added that the Amer-

“different from ours” as a “matter
