Cites Objections To Huge Cargo Planes Washington, Aug. 3. — (UP) — There are “very decisive, strategical” objections to conversions of Idle shipbuilding facilities to construction of giant cargo carrying airplanes, a retired army air corps officer to[d a senate military affairs subcommittee today, Col. Hugh Knerr, who from 1935 until 1939 was chief of the army's general headquarters air force, declared that cargo planes designed to land on water were not practical because of "the extreme vulnerability of the landing spots.” He said virtually all "giant flying freight boats” were equipped to land on water only, and that such plant* could not be safely used "In this war.” The subcommittee headed by Sen. Josh Lee, D., Okla., Is studying proposed legislation to establish a supply board to expedite construction of the cargo planes as a supplement to shipping facilities. ————o— —— Adams County > Memorial Hospital Admitted:' Miss Cora Burk. 122 South Ninth street; Mrs. Richard Johnson, Fort Wayne; Virginia Bleeke, route 6; Mrs. Darrell Clouse, route 3 Dismissed: Mrs. Ralph Hobbs and daughter.
