AIR ROUTES TO CHINA ARE CALLED ESSENTIAL Yarnell Says 1,000 Planes May Be Needed for Supplies New air supply routes to China, requiring "thousands of planes," may have to be established either "across Alaska, Siberia and Mongolia, or from Russia across Sinkiang and the deserts of Central Asia" to maintain the flow of China's war supplies, it was declared here yesterday by Vice Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, retired, former commander of the Asiatic Fleet. Addressing the forty-sixth graduating class at the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture, an endowed school for young men at Webb and Sedgwick Avenues, the Bronx, Admiral Yarnell declared that "China must be kept in the war." China's "present line of supply through Burma is gone and another must be established," the admiral said. The new air transport routes might involve long Asiatic flights, but it may be unavoidable, even though "such lines will require thousands of planes to move the necessary cargo," he declared.
