Kaiser to build tremendous cargo planes on a mass production basis. Although the Kaiser idea was introduced to the nation under exceedingly. inauspicious circ*mstances, it nevertheless has had careful an-. alysis and handling. it will get- its trial.
if latest advices are to be relied upon. There is. nothing in the idea of using airplanes to supplant waterborne transport. It has long been urged by such authorities on the strength and the adaptability of airpower as: Major. de.
Seversky. And Hitler himself has made excellent use of the cargo plane. "In the Crete campaign, for instance. the British had superiority in seapower. But the Germans took to the air, and used their air freighters to bring in men, materials and The result was that British sea superiority -proved to be of almost no importance.
The British menof-war dominated the sea lanes -but they could do nothing to the Nazi air transports which flew safely by overhead. What is new is the magnitude of the plan recently proposed by Henry J. Kaiser, and supported by number of the principal builders of aircraft. The German planes so far used have been relatively small-Mr. Kaiser envisages air freighters of 200 to 500 tons.
The German planes. due to the Reich's geographical position. have not had to have any great range Mr. Kaiser envisages freighters which can cross the seas and still have capacity for tremendous amounts of cargo. The German planes.
it is beI small numbers Kaiser talks of building planes of- vast under a mass-production system which will turn them out almost as quickly as Detroit assembly lines used to motor cars. can deny that the cargo plane, idea. if it is. workable, will prove at least a partial solution to the most difficult problem the United Nations So far as production for war is concerned. has generally realized the "arsenal of goal laid down by the But getting that- production -to the far-flungbattlefronts of this global war is a very different matter.
The hard truth is that the Axis is sinking more ships than the United Nations -and it is sinking them with an enormous amount of vital supplies. The Navy has not been able to solve the problem. And some authorities are convinced that it is basically insoluble -that terrible losses will continue and perhaps mount, unless and until the freighters leave the water and take to the skies. Even the biggest cargo planes so far built cannot carry. a great-deal-in one trip.
But, over a period of time, their speed will make up for that Jack. It is said, for. instance, that. 40 flying boats of the 70-ton size are equal to a 10.800- ton Liberty ship in carrying capacity. An ordinary freighter can make only three round trips to and from Australia in the course of a year -and a cargo plane can make 26.
A cargo plane might make 70 or more round trips carrying freight and troops to England. Skeptics have said that Mr. Kaiser's plan is impractical sand visionary -that it is- impossible to build cargo planes on a mass-production basis in shipyards. But Mr. Kaiser and other builders have confounded skeptics before this on many occasions.
According to him. both his own yards and others of a similar type are adequately equipped to build the planes. He has said also that a plant could be built quickly to supply necessary materials without detracting from other essential phases of the war effort. These plans would require, by comparison with ships, a fairly small amount of steel--and steel is one of the major bottlenecks of the present time. The steel mills have done a fine job in stepping up capacity to the utmost -but they simply haven't been able -to turn- out- enough.
So far as the practicability of the planes themselves is concerned, there seems to be little question. The gigantic flying boat "Mars," built as an experiment by the Glenn Martin Company, has proved completely successful 'in its trials. The Army's B-19, largest land plane ever built, has. also proved its worth. And far bigger planes still are now on the drawing boards of the designers.
The advocates of cargo planes also say that they would be extremely difficult to- intereept and destroy. Their range and speed would be so great that they could constantly change their routes. When approaching their destinations, Allied fighters could be sent out to screen them and bring them in. Due to the time. element alone, merchant ships must closely follow certain definite and prescribed routes--and they must.
at -the end of. their journeys," converge on ports which are known to the enemy. The planes, in brief, would be infinitely more flexible. Steps are being taken to get the Kaiser program started. The skeptics are waiting and watching with their fingers crossed--while the plan's backers seem to have no at.

"DELICACIES MAY DISAPPEAR FROM HOOSIER TABLES" 1 of the "calamities" that may befall the civilian population of Indiana as a result of' the war. The pretty well understood fact that the lack of transportation may make it -impossible to import bananas and pineapples gives rise to the lament. Of course, pineapples and bananas are pretty good food and we shall miss them.

Jim allowed a siren-blowing ambulance to pass, and swung into busy 'Central avenue. News has a curious way of spreading swiftly in a small town. Already people were racing toward the scene of the tragedy. Piecing together the story of what had happened was not hard.

Doesn't the Kirk management at all? -Don't they know what's happening in Kirktown?" "The Kirk management! That's on good!" barked Jim. "They sit back in their beautiful offices in the prettiest building at the county seat, and don't know or don't care about anything except black figures on the profit reports." "Then it's high time they learned a few things," flashed Penny.
Silence shrouded their thoughts on the rest the drive to. the Courier office. Penny's flushed checks and brightened eyes expressed her determination to act now in the interests of Kirktown. "I'd like to have the day off tomorrow," Penny told Jim, hophe wouldn't ask her to reveal her plan. "Sure, Penny," said Jim.
"I have another request, I want to do a series of stories that everyone in town will read. I need your help." "Just name it, Penny," offered Jim, "and I'll do all I can." "I'd like to spend a few days in the Kirk mills. I'll take my lunch box with me and chat with the boys. I'd like to get some human interest stories about the men who make steel," she 'explained.
