President Business Managet mnd Clul H‘W SALESMEN WITH WINGS inéreased | Aircraft manufacturers have greatly their plants and payrolls in the past twé years. Men from farms, factories of other types, graduates of colleges, graduates of high schools, have taken short night courses in aeronautical mechanics and are drawing defense paychecks at Boeings, Lookheed, Douglas and a dozen more plane plants in the western states. | What is (o become of these plants and these scale trained workers when the war is over and the vital need for fighting aircraft is passed? Is this vast new industry to be scuttled in part, as were scores of boats after the I war? | Henry Ford gave his answer recently. Asked | what he would do with his huge new army uirplnne‘ plant after the war, he said: “Make planes for| everyhody.” Aviaticn enthusiasts point out that the Ameri- can military machine is now turning out fliers at the rate of 3,000 a month and that there will be| a great army of trained pilots re-entering civilian | life after the war, each of whom will be anxious to| own his own plane for private and business use. Juneau people are well acquainted with the prac- ,tical men who act as officials in the increasingly | important Civil Aeronautics Administration. Robert H. Hinckley, CAA head, remarked recently that, “During the next five years we will develop at lvzm. half a million trained fliers—ready customers for air flivvers.” Thus, by popular acclaim, the Air Age seems to be just dawning. M zine articles tell of the plane of the future, which can be driven from the family | garage to. the nearby airport, its wings unfolded, and a take-off into the air quickly made—which will | take off or land on either ground or water, make safe emergency landings anywhere in case of bad weather or mechanical trouble and run along high- ways as an automobile, The new plane will be of the fool-proof design | now being incorporated into many models. It will| not spin or stall and will be handled with a steering | wheel and the type of gas throttle the auto driver is accustomed to tread. Many may be of the auto- gyro type which will take off or land on small| areas. They will sell for the price of one of the better makes of modern motor cars. What a boon these planes are going to be to the traveling salesman. Most of us, because we | haven't time or can’t afford it, make but infrequent trips out of our own neighborhood. The addition of wings to our cars may widen our horizon con- siderably. To the salesman, they should prove a’ ]:.«pvmlmg of from $1,131,000,000~ to $2,000,000,000 ar: i to preserve the national credit and justify the faith ,|of all who are asked to participate in financing the | trenching upon essential | believe that | appropriations for agriculture i expenditures for agriculture should be curtailed be- | $7,000,000,000 this year ‘0! $95,000,000,000 for the current fiscal year. hmge time saver aml enable him to cover much more territory than he has ever been able to reach previously But with this new move into the air, there are problems a-plenty to challenge the ingenuity of our | guardians of public welfare. On airlanes of a sunny Sunday, for instance, how is traffic to be directed? |Must we not plan for speed cops of the skies? | Notice, we are conjecturing on the air traffic prohlom on the sunny day. The block which will keep these new auto-plane combinations on the high- ways instead of the skyways much of the time is |our failure, so far, to be able to control the weather. When the trained and expert pilots of commer- cial airlines are often unable to bring their ships into Juneau because of weather conditions, we can | hardly expect the civilian pilots to cope with the | dangers of fog banks, rain and wind storms, freez- ing weather and other meteorological difficulties. | Taking a broad view of this new trend toward flight, we believe the next ten years will see a great | demand for trained men in specialized fields kindred |to our growing desire for wings. If we were sopho- {mores in high school today we believe we would seriougly consider the study of weather observing and forecasting, aeronautical engineering, airport con- struction, aerial navigation, short wave radio and other important fields akin to aviation in general. In Behalf of Economy (Cincinnati Enquirer) conclusions of the special congressional committee that reductions in nonessential} The economy both desirable and attainable are corroborated by a report on the same subject by the Brookings Insti-| tution. According to the institution’s report, the gov- ernment no must face a clear alternative. It can ignore mounting public indebtedness on the theory | that this has no real significance, or “it may reso- lutely strive to limit the growth of the debt in order war program.” If the government has the will to face the prob- constructively, Federal nonessential expendi- | can be reduced by $2,085,000000 “without social services,” the re- search organization declares. Like the special econo- my committee in Congress, the institution’s experts the greatest savings can be made in and public welfare services such as the Works Projects Administration and the National Youth Administration. The Brookings report rightly points out that lem tures cause parity has been achieved and farm income has risen $3,000,000,000 in the last two years. Moreover, reductions in public welfare and relief expenditures | have been made possible by improved economic con- | ditions and by the demand for men and materials for the war program. | Nonessential expenditures will total almost This is more than jwas spent in the much leaner years of 1935-'36-'37, when na- tional income was approximately $60,000,000,000 a | | year, compared with an estimated national income | The institution recommends also that a perma- ! nent joint committee be set up in Congress to ana- | lyze all expenditures. This would appear to be an excellent suggestion. Congress would do well to give authorization for this work to the existing| economy committee, which has done a workmanlike job thus far under the Chairmanship of Senator | Byra { English Down Under | (Philadelphia Record) | Our friends the Australians are great men, but the rest of the English-speaking world has a hard | time with their language. Their spirited marching song is called “Waltzing Matilda.” The difficulty starts when it turns out | that the song isn't about a girl at all, that “waltz- | ing matilda” refers to'a hobo swinging his bundle. The difficulty goes on from there. So it’s mo surprise that the Australians have their own name for a partial blackout. Accordlng\ to a dispatch from Canberra, it's to be known offici- | ally as “brown out.” i Pass the glossary, please.

The seers estimate | !slrated that character is a weapon most valuable in the conflict. Now m‘ Go-Round (Continued from Page One) picked up the conversation and Stimson listened without interrup- | tion. Lindbergh stated that he was engaged in secret experimental work with a commercial concern, which the Army knew about and was interested in. At Lindbergh's offer to continue in that capacity, or any other, Stimson buzzed for Assistant Sec- retaries Robert A. Lovett and John| J. McCloy and told them about it. “Where do you think Mr. Lind-| bergh would be most usefu]"’" asked Stimson. Lovett and McCloy promptly | voiced the opinion that the flier should continue his civilian work. Both said firmly they were sure this would be “most suitable.” That ended the interview — and Lindbergh’s hope for reinstatement as an officer of the Air Corps. SAFE SHELTER Washington air raid rules call for tenants on the first floor of some apartment houses to take shelter in apartments on upper floors. As an upper-floor dweller, Senator Gerald Nye of North Da- kota, in a recent air raid test, opened his doors to a family from the floor below. But the visitors were il at ease. Finally Nye, with a grin, broke the ice by making a crack zoout his isolationism. “This building must be pretty safe,” he said, “because Hitler's aviators would certainly be cau- tioned about where Nye lives!” FREE HAND Senator Harry S. Truman got a | Craney, | for called at the White House before his committee filed its report blast- ing the OPM for failing to prepare American industry for full-timewac produetion. 2 Also, the President ‘couldn’t have been more emphatic in declaring the continuation of Truman's special committee. “I'm planning to make a request for an additional $100,000 to carry on our investigation of war c tracts,” Truman informed the Pres dent. “But before I do anything T want your approval. You're the boss. T'll call it quits if you say the word.” “No, Harry, T want you to con- | “Your | | tinue,” said’ the President. commiu,ev: has done an excellent job so far, but tHere’s still more o do.” “It's very nice of you to say that, Mr. President,” said Truman. “But I warn you—we won't pull| any punches.

He imme- diately got an official call warn- ing him that this was secret mili- tary information. “But,” he re- plied, “I merely copied the figures out of the Cavalry Journal.

His Museum of Modern Arf, | which' was supposed to do this, has been laboring for nine months at a cost of $15000 per month to the government —and finally has brought forth a mouse. Rockefeller and Jock Whitney are getting a large dose of criticism |@about this because they personally are ‘interested in the Museum and have permitted an amateur group continue to|to run the show—into the ground.| | Without benefit of competitive bidding or any system of checks and balances, amateur after ama- |teur in the Museum has tackled the job of deciding what kind of films should be sent to Latin- | America.
