Aircraft
Production
There is good ground for en
couragement in the recent report
<of Col. John H. Jouett, president
of the Aeronautical Chamber of
Commerce, on behalf of the air
craft industry. This report shows,
first, the extraordinary present
expansion of the industry based
upon orders placed in the late
summer and fall of 1940. It
shows, next, that qaulity has not
been sacrificed in speeding up
production. Finally, it holds an
optimistic outlook for the immed
iate and long-rang; future.
Here the prediction is made
that 18,000 planes under present
programs will be turned out this
year and 30,00 in 1942. There is,
however, every likelihood that
present programs will be increas
ed. Colonel Jouett urges, in this
case, that every source of subcon
trading be utilized befor under
taking any further time-consum
ing program of plant expansion.
A recent survey has she on that
23.000 factories in this country
are now without :ny war orders.
Some of these certainly should
be put to work fabricating park
which the aircraft industry it
self can us. in building planes.
As to quality, the report re
veals that American planes on e\
ery one of the war fr n s are
giving satisfaction, but that new
models have not been n gleet.d
im the -ncV *4 -orders; At- Vrtou
16, details of which are military
secrets, have been developed.
Tii y include promising intercep
tors to combat night bombing.
Colonel Jouett makes this heart
ening statement: “America, with
in a short time, will see Ameri
can war craft rolling through
factory doors and swarming thru
the Shies i.i asion;-:ung nani
bois. On behalf of the aireruf,
industry l guarantee it.”
Defense Jobs
Of Citizenship
h _
Applicants for defense jobs
who have difficulty in proving
their American citiz nship, when
required to do so by employers,
can get help from the United
States Census Bureau, Washing
ton, D. C„ Walter P. Sharpe, Ex
ecutive Director of the T1 rritor
ial Unemployment Compensation
Commision, stated today. Mr.
Sharpe cites an article appearing
in a recent Employment Secur
ity Review, which he believes
will be of interest to native Am
ericans who were born before
birth registration was required in
their native states.
In this articles, th« Census Bu
reau says: “An alien who has
been naturalized can offer his cit
izenship papers as incontrovert
ible evidence. But what of the
man who was born in the United
I States, but does not have a birth
' certificate? There are many such
individuals, since during only
1 the last 25 years has it come
about that, birth registration has
been compulsory throughout the
United States. This difficulty is
most likely to come up, however,
among the older workers, the
group which possess s skills rlow
in great demand, and whose age.
in view of draft possibilities, is
n '. longer a drawback.
“How is the Employment Ser
vice officer to eliminate this ob
I • to placement of otherwm
qualified workers? One answer is
to be found in a service rendered
by :he United States Bureau of
the O nrus.
“Thus, if ‘John Jones’ is quali
fied for a job in a machine tool
plant which the Employment Ser
vice is trying to fill,but hasn’t the
necessary birth certificate, he can
write in to the Records Division
of the Census Bur au, Washing
ton, D. C., and obtain without
charge what is generally accept
ed as satisfactory proof of citi
zenship. All he has to do is list
the States in which he was liv
ing during 1900 or 1920, and the
.tame of the head of the house
hold. The Census Bureau will
then reply to this general effect:
'Our records show that you were
camera.ed in 1900 as the 5-year
•H son of Charles Jones, whose
birthplace was given as New
York State.’
If it should be necessary for an
officer of the Employment Ser
vice to write the letter, he will
have to include authorization
from ‘Mr. Jones,- since O nsus re
cords are confidential.-’
With the German Army in
hack of him. Mussolini is a pret
ty tough fellow.
Earl Browder, who often has
tried to talk himself into Federal
■sit ion, will now find that the
p n is mightier than the word.

with her pre-war industries shat

last great democracy remaining
in the Far East.
In recognition of the brav~
struggle of the Chinese people
and in further recognition of the
traditional friendship which has
i existed so long between our
country and China,
r. I. E. BARTLETT, Acting
Governor of Alaska, do her by
designate the 15?h day of May of
this year as CHINA SUNDAY.
I hope that upon that day the
people of Alaska will in their j
churches and in their homes of-!
fer prayers for the relief of our|
fri nds in the Far East who so j
nobiy and valiantiv during the
past years have proved that the
cause of freedom is worth fight

New Bombers
To Go 300
Miles An Hour
_
SAN DIEGO, Calif. May 22—A
j new four-motored bomber which
is supercharged to fly more than
300 miles an hour in the sub
nainsohere is being tested sec
retly. The plane is the B-24 land
bomber which is being built by
Consolidated Aircraft for both
the United States and England.
According to Consolidated’s Presi
dent Ruben Fleet it is able to
reach an altitude of seven miles.
Fleet points out that the plane
has undreamed of military poten
t:alities because it can fly above
ihe altitud used by other bomb
ers and cruise unaffected by
storms and rough air. The new
bomber bas a wing spread of 110
fee' and is 19 feet high and 64
feet long. It is driven by four
1200-horsepower Pratt & Whit
ney motors. Carrying four tons
of bombs th: plane would be
able to fly 3,000 miles.
