THE BIGGEST LINER
GERMAN PROPOSAL HITLER'S AMBITION (Times Air Mail Service) (LONDON, Jan. 1 Hitler is jealous. He wants a German ship to hold the Blue Riband for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic, now held by the Queen Mary. During the past year he has told his industrial advisers that Nazi prestige demands that the Atlantic record should be held by a German ship. The Bremen and Europa, built before Hitler seized power, can never challenge the Queen Mary or the. French liner Normandie. Fastest Yet So Hitler has insisted that, early in the New Year, work shall begin on a. new German ship larger and faster than either the Queen Mary, the Normandie, or Britain's new liner, the Queen Elizabeth, now being built. The Queen Mary is 1018 feet long over all, the Normandie 1027 feet. Hitler’s ship will be over 100.1 feet in length, slightly longer than 1 lie Queen Elizabeth, whose over-all length will be 1031 feet. The German dictator plans to make his liner the most luxurious ship afloat. Swastikas will decorate the staterooms. Pictures of Nazi leaders will hang in the library.
