Lovett's| speech, made one day before, might have been for the purpose of fore- stalling the Truman Committee But all this, amazing as it is, 13“ not the complete story. Inside fact | is that the Navy not only has not| doie anything about helicopters un- til the past few days, but actually has been opposing them, despite | appeals from the Maritime Com- mission, the Coast Guard and to some extent from the Army that| helicopters are the only way lick the submarine. Admiral Howard Vickery, crack production expert of the Maritime Commission, was one of the first to see the advantages of the heli- copter. Another was Capt. Willlam Kossler of the Coast Guard. They pointed out that if merchant ships could carry their own “eyes” at sea, spotting submarines miles away, U. 8. shipping could be made rela- tively safe. Helicopters can hover over the sea at night, dropping flares to show up submarines on the sur- face, More and more, subs are sur- hc}ng at night, cruising at top| speed to close in on helpless mer- | - chant ships. SPOTTING U-BOATS ‘The Maritime Commission and | Coast Guard also have pointed out | that helicopters, when carried on merchant ships, can do exactly what the Germans have done, sur- | vey the sea from the air. Giant German bombers cruise over the orth Atlantic, sight a convoy and | then inform the sub packs where they are. Similarly, helicopters ‘could sight subs and inform pro- tecting destroyers where to look for | them. But despite these arguments, the Navy as late as April 11 (just ten days before Capt. Lovett stated that the Navy was actively using heli- eopters) sent a report to the Lend- Leave Administration expressing op- position by naval airmen to heli- | copter manufacture by Hcmy Raiser for the British, Neyertheless, | ITYRS — Alasks Nowipapers, 1011 | value of all other assets.

It certainly is true that a large diet of meat is Tdesired by the average American workingman.

But ration is concerned, however, we must remember |that both England and Russia long have been on a !diet much more restricted than ours, So far as we |can learn, Russian allotments are less than half ours, while the English workingman for years has received only about half the amount of meat the American workingman receives. Both Russia and England have done right well. Arguments to the effect that efficiency there has been lowered are subject to questioping, to say the least. We in the United States long have consumed much more meat than has been necessary to health. | Many medical authorities contend that a sharp re- duction in meat consumption would aid, rather than harm, most Americans. | The first fortnight of rationing has shown many of us that we can do well with allotments under the present schedule. We shall be thankful if allotments are increased, but if they are not we probably shall not suffer either physically or from a production standpojnt. our quota in war drives are in the re going to have nds as the war ays in which the borrow, or print The second can leads straight to have the sense to in order to save | As a result of all this, it has Ickes doesn't plan to give the only been within the latter part of wmhle:’ up immediately after settle- |April that the decks have been | ment of the coal strike.
