Released by Western Newspaper Union. -- AIR MONSTERS: Things to Come Reading like a tale from the pen of Jules Verne, the story of two super-giganti- c cargo planes was un-folded in Washington by aviation en-gineers. Senate committees heard the stories. Details of a huge plywood plane were disclosed by Dr. W. W. Christ-mas, technical aviation engineer. The plywood carrier, weighing 1,120,000 pounds, would be both a cargo and battle plane. It would be a 60,000 horsepower, two hull plane with 400 foot wingspread and with wings 16 feet thick, with a speed of about 350 miles an hour. It would carry 3,000 men. It would carry a rack of torpedoes weighing 20,000 pounds. Dr. Christmas pointed out that the torpedoes would have a striking force of 19,000,000 pounds when dropped. "A battleship deck would be like wet paper when one of these bombs hit it," he said. The second plane was a revolu-tionary type of amphibian flying cargo plane, which would be lifted and propelled by a combination of engines, helium gas and air tunnels. The engineers are Horace Chapman Young and Eric Langlands of the Aerodynamics Research corpora-tion. A single wing combination the plane would have a flying deck of approximately 200 feet, from which 12 fighter planes could take off. It would carry enough helium gas to lift 36 tons and with its engines could lift 70 tons. Four tunnels would run through the wing. Engineers in these tunnels would create a semi-vacuu-whose suction would sup-ply pulling power while the propel-lers gave it thrusting power. Its speed would be about 200 miles an hour. LADIES: Of the Navy "Waves" is not a new word to U. S. navy men but in the future sailors will have to think twice be-fore using it. For this is the name being given to the Navy's woman's auxiliary, counter-par- t of the army's WAAC. Now officially organized, the Waves plan to enlist 10,000. First call was for 1,000 women, prefera-bly bachelor girls, to volunteer as officer candidates. Miss Mildred McAfee, 42, presi-dent of Wellesley college, Wellesley, Mass., is being chosen head of the feminine navy unit and will hold the rank of lieutenant commander. While there appeared to be a pref-erence for single girls, married women are not prohibited from vol-unteering. Unmarried women will have to agree not to marry while in training a period. Waves will be assigned to desk or administrative jobs to release men for active sea duty.

Peace proposals between the two organizations have been discussed for several months as a step toward speeding war production. In his letter, Murray proposed the estab-lishment of a committee composed of representatives of both organiza-tions, with an impartial arbitrator, to settle all jurisdictional disputes between the two groups. Murray named a committee of three to discuss the problem of "or-ganic unity." He named himself, R. J. Thomas, president of the CIO United Automobile Workers, and Julius Emspak, secretary of the United Radio and Machine Workers union. BEEF: Two Varieties In butchershops from the Bronx to Boise there was considerable beef-ing about beef. Beef was high. Beef was hard to get. What was the trouble? President Roosevelt told his press conference there were three main reasons for the current meat short-age: (1) this is the for beef; (2) people have more purchas-ing power now, with which to buy better cuts of meat; and (3) around 4,000,000 men under arms are now eating much more meat than they ever ate on their own dinner tables at home. Meanwhile Agriculture Secretary Claude Wickard reported that there may be some relief in the temporary beef shortage this fall when more cattle are brought in off the range. But other sources looked with dis-favor on what effect this would have on the normal spring beef market. RUSSIA: Flank Tactics While Moscow's official radio was telling the Germans in their own language that the United States and Russia had come to their agreement on the creation of the second front in 1942, Soviet troops were busy with flank attacks on the Nazi forces all along the Don river front. German drives had pushed far be-yond Rostov, toward the Caucasus, but the Russians were claiming that their new flank attacks were netting a terrific toll of Nazi tanks and men. At Voronezh, northern anchor of the Don front, the Russians had been holding out doggedly while their col-umns were being pushed back in the other sectors. If Germans in the homeland had been listening to the Russian radio tell of the coming of the second front, they heard too that their coun-try would be confronted with 15,000,-00- 0 men, 85,000 tanks, 100,000 guns, and 50,000 airplanes. But this was brave talk for even the official Rus-sian communiques admitted the gravity of their nation's peril. Most feared was a Nazi break-throug- h in the center of the Caucasus front. This would more than likely mean that the so-f- orderly Russian re-treat would stand a chance of being turned into a rout a result that would be disastrous for th'e cause of the United Nations. Soviet officials had other troubles, too. There were reports out of the Don, valley that large rings of fifth columnists had been uncovered. Many of the spies in these groups were quickly executed as they were caught trying to with Nazi parachute troops who were dropping behind the Soviet main lines. Meanwhile, through England and the United States the.xry was get-ting louder for military officials to establish the d second front. From widely diversified groups and sections came the urg-ing. There was considerable agita-tion for this move for many people feared the United Nations would suf-fer a most severe blow should Rus-sia fail to last the year on the Euro-pean side of the Ural mountains. i i rmiwvm m0mmi iIlllliIillslSlSililiiilill iMi y-- wi '....n in iiilftl ; t" ( -- ! : 3 GIANT PLANES: From Shipyards There was a new answer, to the shipping problems of the United Na-tions looming on the horizon. It was an unofficial agreement from the War Production board to give the "green light" to plans of Henry K. Kaiser, West Coast shipbuilder, to build giant cargo and troop trans-port planes in nine of the nation's shipyards. First hitch to be overcome in the suggested set-u- p was the granting of authority by military officials to re-lease engines and other parts need-ed in the building of aircraft for the army and navy. Donald Nelson, WPB head, ap-peared to be willing to proceed with the plan if these materials could be obtained without hampering the war effort. This came as a surprise as WPB first voiced skepticism on the plan. Kaiser's idea calls for the conver-sion of three shipyards on each coast to produce 5,000 flying boats a year. The ships would be of 100-to- n de-sign fashioned after the fly-ing boat Mars, now in active use. Support of Glenn Martin, Baltimore bomber builder, Tom Girdler, steel magnate and all others with knowl-edge of production problems of plane building would be sought, ac-- . cording to Kaiser. After Kaiser had discussed the idea with Nelson he appeared be-fore a senate military subcommit-tee to testily and Nelson later issued a statement stating that the WPB was willing to to the limit in any practical way for in-creasing the effectiveness of our . . . transportation systems." At the same time, James H. R. Cromwell, former U. S. minister to Canada, was proposing that Kaiser be made "czar of air transporta-tion." He said: "If we can't get sup-plies to the fronts by air transport we are going to lose this war." VENGEANCE: Extracting a terrible vengeance for the capture of nine Bosnian towns by Gen. Draja Mikhailovitch's Jugoslav forces, Italian planes rained incendiary bombs on the towns, burning them to the ground. Axis occupation forces have warned that every town taken by the pa-triots will be treated similarly. Hundreds were made homeless by the fires, which burned for two days, The nine towns raised to 67 the num-ber of towns obliterated by the Axis during recent weeks. ALEUTIANS: 10,000 Japs Breaking an official silence, a navy spokesman officially estimat-ed that the Japanese have succeeded in putting "not more than 10,000" troops into the Aleutian island area and at the same time announced there was no evidence that the Pribilof island to the north had been occupied by the Nipponese. The statement came in answer to a report made by the Alaskan dele-gate to congress, Anthony J. Dimond, that between 20,000 and 25,000 Jap troops were on the Aleu-tians and that the Pribilofs had been occupied. Questioned about Dimond' s re-ports, the spokesman said that "we believe that not more than 10,000 Japanese are in the Aleutians, prob-ably one-ha- ashore and one-ha- lf afloat." The Japs gained a foothold in the Aleutians on June 3. So far, the navy has confirmed the presence of Japs only on three of the islands: Attu, Agattu and Kiska, at the west-ern end of the chain. The Pribilofs are in the Bering sea, and consist of four islands: St. Paul, St. George, Otter and Waldrus. The latter two are small and uninhabited. PETRILLO SAYS 'NO': To Davis Plea "I cannot grant your request to cancel the notice that the AFM members will not play for transcrip-tions or records." With those words, James C. Petrillo, president of the American Federation of Musicians, refused a request by Elmer Davis, director of the Office of War Information, to rescind his ban against the making of new phonograph records or radio transcriptions for commercial pur-poses by union members. In his appeal to Petrillo to remove the ban, Davis expressed the opin-ion that his action might deprive many small radio stations of music and be a blow to civilian morale. "We refute any suggestion that we are lacking in patriotism," said Petrillo. "We will not permit hypocrisy on me part of the inter-ests who are fighting us." He added that the union had voted to make recordings for the armed forces and at the request of the President, and pointed out that "canned music" has thrown thou-sands of musicians out of work. John Leigh, gas station attendant in Washington, is pictured studying rationing rules. When Price Admin-istrator Leon Henderson ran out of gas, Leigh refused to fill a can for him. Henderson later proved that such an act would not be a violation of the regulations, but his proof came too late. He already had been forced to take a taxi. MISCELLANY: COUSINS: Conklin Mann, New York genealogist who discovered last month that President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill are eighth cousins once removed, an-nounced that he had found the Presi-dent to be a sixth cousin once re-moved of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. MARKETING: U. S. farmers in the first half of 1942 marketed prod-ucts totaling $5,773,000,000, accord-ing to a department of agriculture estimate. This compares with $4,012,-000,00- 0 for the same period in 1941. FATS: The Office of Price Ad-ministration has set a ceiling of four cents a pound on waste kitchen fats now being sold by housewives to retail meat markets in the na-tional salvage campaign. GASLESS: Pleasure driving is practically a thing of the past in Britain. As of August 1, gasoline is sold only to business and profession-al automobiles. DEATH: Maj. Gen. Julius von Bernauth, German tank expert, was killed in action on the Russian front, it was announced on a Nazi broad-cast. PLYWOOD: First of their kind ever built, 1,000 plywood lifeboats have been ordered by the U. S. Maritime commission from a Port-land, Ore., firm. Made of six-pl- y Douglas fir, about a ton of metal per will be saved in the plywood con-struction. They will be 22 feet long with a capacity and will be used on Liberty ships. ANTIWAR: Arriving with 15 other passengers on a transatlantic plane, Robert Brennan, Eire's minister to the U. S., declared that "the Irish people are more determined than ever to remain out of war."
