LOS ANGELES, June 13 (U. PJ). ~Southern California’s huge aircraft industry, which figures vitally in President Roosevelt’s plans for material aid to the Allies, is shifting

into high gear, a survey showed today. Douglas Aircraft is’ working 18,000 men in three full shifts to cut down 8 backlog of $140,000,000 — mostly orders. for bombing and pursuit planes.- Lockheed Aircraft is working 9000 and adding about 40 men daily. A spokesman said the company probably would be operating shortly on an overtime basis. Vultee is hiring 50 men daily to rush a $3,000,000 order for U. S. Army trainers and a $9,000,000 contract for Swedish pursuit planes which probably will be turned over to the Allies. Three shifts are working day and night in the big North American Aircraft plant.

Heat Victims fo Be Treated In Air-Conditioned Surger

pital is ready to treat heat prostration victims in the air-conditioned surgery rooms rather than with the

antiquated and sometimes. dangerous ice pack method. The system was set up last year but not a single heat prostration case was brought to the hospital. The cases to be so dealt with are those in which the temperature control of the individual temporarily doesn’t function ,and most of the victims are admitted unconscious with temperatures ranging even as high as 110 and 112 degrees. In ordinary heat exhaustion cases, where the victim has been overcome through a combination of labor and heat, the victims generally have subnormal temperatures and the

: treatment is different.

Depending on the condition of the heat| prostration victims and upon the temperature outside, the victim will be taken into rooms regulated at prescribed temperatures. He will be moved from one room to another, as conditions permit, until he is in a temperature that may be as low as 70 degrees. The patient will be watched carefully for signs of chill. In the old ice pack method a chill frequently follows the treatment and sometimes pneumonia took the victim's life. In general, Dr. Charles W. Myers, hospital superintendent, said "the victims of heat prostration are persons who are unaccustomed to the sun and heat, and not those who have gradually conditioned themselves to the change by acquiring a coat of tan.

ELMON WILLIAMS “RAPS. D.R, SPEECH

strawberry festival at the W. L. Hdrt estate on South Kitley Road. “Only those who wish to become involved in the war will praise the speech,” Mr. Williams continued. He advocated that Congress remain in session “as a restraining and important influence on national policy.” Glen White, club president, presided and Forrest Hackley, vice president, gave a history of the organization.

Former Senator May Head Platform Committee At Convention.

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer

‘WASHINGTON, June 13.—Reports spread in inner Republican circles here today that former Senator George Wharton Pepper, who lives in Chester County, Pa., and practices law in Philadelphia, is the

likely choice for chairman of the Platform, or Resolutions, Commit-

tee at the national cnovention

cpen June 24. Senator James J. Davis (R. Pa), chairman of the big Pennsylvania convention delegation, said he had

not heard. the report, but indorsed

Mr. Pepper, who already has been named as the state’s member of the Resolutions Committee. Under new procedure this year, the resolutions members will meet in Philadelphia early next week, in

ladvance of their formal ratifica-

tion, to draft platform suggestions before the convention’s hurry and excitement, The present plan is for a “streamlined” platform, brief and easy to read. The Glenn Frank report will serve as a guide on domestic issues, but because of the changed world situation is expected to be of little help on the most important and difficult plank—international affairs. Other possible choices for the platform chairmanship are Henry P. Fletcher, former Pennsylvanian and former Republican national chairman, but now a citizen of Rhode Island, and Alf M. Landon of Kansas, 1936 presidential candidate. Senator Davis described Mr. Pepper as a thorough believer in national defense preparations and also as a supporter of international law for preservation of peace,
