In the last war they made tanks, Liberty motors for planes, shells, transmissions for tanks and drive trucks. Officials, however, are not revealing what the present plans contemplate. Preparations for production of a new flivver plane designed eventually to sell for $1,000 also is occupying attention. The idea has the backing of Fred J. Fisher, eldest of the family of Fisher brothers and a founder of Fisher corporation. Fisher confirmed that he is associated in the venture with William B. Stout, a pioneer aeronautical and automotive engineer. A spokesman for Fisher said the plane still was in the experimental stage and plans for mass production would not be made until the trial model is tested and licensed, probably after the first of next year. The plane was said to be designed for simplified flying with its engine mounted in the rear driving a pusher propellor. It was said to be a with a range of 500 miles, a cruising speed of 110 miles per hour and a landing speed of 35 miles an hour, and a wingspread of 35 feet. low-pri- four-whe- two-seat- U. S. Secret Service Wars on Counterfeit What do you know qbout dollar bills? About fives, tens or twenties? Perhaps you are aware that the picture of George Washington apbills. But do pears on all you know that the first Presidents likeness appears only on bills? Can you say without looking whose portrait is printed on twenty-dolla- r bills, or tens, or fives? if you know these things you have made a beginning, even if it is a small one, toward protecting yourone-doll- one-doll- self against counterfeit money, according to officials of the United States secret service. Educating America on how to detect spurious money is one of the jobs that occupies the attention of the secret service. It has been steadily on this job for nearly 80 years. Know your Money is the slogan of this educational campaign. It is being carried to people everywhere by movies, the radio, lectures, newspapers. A motion picture, Know Your Money, has been shown to more than 25,000,000 persons in the last six months. Thousands of money handlers tellers, clerks, cashiers have been taught by secret service agents how to detect counterfeit bills and coins. For, the first six months of 1940 the secret service took out of circulation $44,426 every dollar a loss to someone compared to $122,254 for the first six months of 1939. This drop of nearly 64 per cent represents the effect of the Know Your Money" campaign. Secret Service Chief Frank Wilson asserts, addshort-subje- ing: When we have taught the American people to be completely counterfeit conscious, counlerfeiters will quit making counterfeit money because of the impossibility of pass- ing it" POLLS UNRELIABLE THIS YEAR Psychological Corporation, one of the leading public poll organizations of the United States, is warning clients privately about the reliability of public opinion polls under present unsettled conditions. Psychological Corporation is headed by Dr. Henry C. Link, who is the originator of the P. Q. or Personality Quotient, and other .psychological tests. He is also connected with a number of national business concerns, including U. S. Rubber, Lord & Taylor, and Gimbels department store. Psychological Corporation set up the original Fortune poll and has conducted numerous polls in its own name. Despite it long experience, however, P. C. will not conduct polls of general public opinion this year. Reason for this is that the war and public reaction to it have set up such rapid cross currents of opinion as to make established polling methods unreliable. P. C. will continue to make any poll for which its services are employed, handling each job according to the individual requirements. But on polls where the war enters as a factor, or in regard to political opinion, P. C. will undertake them only on condition that definite predictions will not be made because of incalculable rapid shifts of opinion. On polls not involving these factors, which it will conduct as it has similar ones in the past, P. C. makes no reservations. But it definitely is hedging on political polls and is frankly telling clients so. GERMAN PARTNERS Despite the intervention of Arthur V. Davis, chairman of the Aluminum Corporation of America, the justice department is going ahead with its grand jury proceedings against that company and the giant German chemical cartel, I. G. for alleged violation of the Sherman anti-trulaw in the production of magnesium. Magnesium is an alloy even lighter than aluminum and is used in the manufacture of airplanes. It was in such demand by Germany for Hitlers airplane program, that Germany paid cash 'for American magnesium, even when she was desperately hard up for exchange. Mr. Davis came Into the Justice department and offered all sorts of to the government. But the departments anti-truexperts figure that it is too late. They have taken the position that when an American company with Germany to restrict produc tion of an important metal, it ham pers national defense by discourag mg American industry in peacetime The magnesium industry, they fig ure, should have been developed sut ficiently during peacetime so that it could be expanded very rapidly now in an emergency. It is also their contention that the restriction of magnesium production in normal peacetimes discourages airplane manufacturers from experimenting with this very Important alloy and learning to make full use of it.
