When Ickes announced several days in gasoline consumption had resulted in a ‘if hé meant to prepare the way for some- thing more drastic than a simple request. Yesterday, he demonstrated that he not been misunderstood i in that respect by. announcing a ban on night service sta- tion operation, coupled with the hint that sa For Goyernor Holland, who staked his political reputation on an economy shored up with gasoline tax money, that sort of talk and action is considerably more than an inconvenience, and it may prove so to the rest of the residents of this state. Basing their program on an ascending curve of gasoline consumption, the legis- lators only a few months ago worked out Plorida’s road building program under an amended plan which would see county road debts wiped out, and replaced by 1992 with a surplus of $402,782,684. Monroe county, for. instance, would wipe out.a $4,909,848 debt, and» in 1992 wouldvhave a credit of $8,487,140, of which the surplus, over interest and bond payments, would be split, 20 per cent for | county road construction, and 80 per cent for the highway department. There was‘no thought of gas rationing trary, it was assumed that gasoline con- | sumption in future years would be greater than in the past. | Ickes, whose place in the history books has been assured in his various ca- pacities as secretary of the interior, direc- tor of PWA and ace hatchet man of the | New Deal, may carve out a smaller niche | for himself as the man who put the gray | hairs in Governor Holland’s head. } FINDING AIN ANSWER TO THE PLANE |” The Honorable Herbert Hooyer, for- | mer President of the United States, urges scientists to find a “defensive answer” to the ‘airplane, which has revolutionized warfare, making the aggressor far more powerful and making small nations help- less to defend their liberties. Mr. Hoover is on the right track. As he says, the defensive answer to the air- plane, when it comes, will “turn the whole fate of the world.” It will eliminate the butchering of women and children as a part of war-making. The airplane is today enjoying its of- fensive holiday but the scientists of the ficers of the world; will discover the means to meet the menace of the air. In fact, | some day the defensive forces may be able | to nullify the advantages which now make the airplane a weapon of indiscriminate slaughter. There was a day in the history of the world when the torpedo was supposed to make useless the warships of the fleet and those who remember the World War days can recafl the day when a lone’ German U-boat sgnt three British cruisers to. the bottom in an’ hour or so.

By H. S. SIMS, JR. U. S. AIR FORCE TO BE WORLD'S BEST IN 1942 Today, U. S. plane plants are turning out about half as many military craft as the Germans; that is, we are producing planes at the rate of about 20,000 per ear. During the year ending on the past June 30th, the U. S. produc- ed 11,647 military airplanes. By next summer the U. S. will be capable of, producing as many military aircratt as Germany. However, the strength of our air force depends more on‘ the quality of the planes benig pro- duced than it does on the num- ber of planes. and Hurricanes proved this to the satisfaction of our experts in the Dunkerque episode. As for quality: U. S. bombers are the world’s best, our Navy’s flying boats are unrivaled, both the Army and the Navy claim to have have the fastest plane in the world, the Army received on July 17 the initial delivery of anew dive bomber which it claims “will out-perform dive- bombers in use by foreign na- tions”, and we have that daddy- of-all planes, the B-19, which is | the world’s largest plane, having |a bomb capacity of 26 tons. And our military designers are not asleep, for, according to John War, “We have on the drawing boards and in process of con- struction long-range bombers that will make these (unrivaled U. S. bombers) look like little brothers”. Before’ ending’a review of our | air strength, something should be said of our parachute troops.. ‘here are 1,100 U.S. parachute troops, composing the 501st and 502nd- Parachute Battalions. In the near future two more para- chute units will be they have already been authoriz- ed. The Army Air Corps has also bought a number of gliders for experimental purposes. Army officials realize that gliders and parachute troops play important roles in modern warfare and that experiments in these fields are necessary to .bring the U.
