Hoosier Vagabond

BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 25.—When you start in at one end of the vast Curtiss-Wright airplane factory here, you cannot see to the other end, it is so far. Furthermore, you see nothing at first that even remotely rgsembles an airplane. You see only rows of machines, grinding and punching bars of steel and sheets of metal. In the far distance you are conscious of hundreds of men bending over work benches. As you walk on down the broad aisle you gradually come upon men-drilling holes in flat sheets of blue metal. And then, farther down, these sheets begin to go together and are riveted to each other, and pretty soon you see that a wing is being built. And, when you finally get into that wing-building line, you see not one but scores of wings, each a little more advanced than the last, and with a group of busy workmen hovering around each one, The Curtiss P-40 plane is essentially in only three parts—the engine, the wing and the fuselage. The Allison engine comes from Indianapolis, boxed in a crate. The wings and fuselage are built here, but their building is altogether separate. ‘The two never meet until they have beefi trundled 10 miles on a trailer to the Buffalo Airport. To go back to the beginning, most of the plane enters the factory in the form of thin flat sheets about 12 feet long. They are aluminum colored, and come from around Pittsburgh.

The Riveting Process

_ First these sheets are dipped in a chemical solution which turns them blue. This is merely a protective surface, to save the metal from serious scratches if a drill slips. Next these pieces are cut, on huge machines, into various sizes and lengths, all preconceived to fit into certain parts of the wing and fuselage. Then they are drilled. The edge of every sheet of metal is riveted to the next one about every inch. There are 77,000 rivets in a P-40 plane. That takes 154,000 holes. As far as I could see, none of these was drilled by any machine which bores hundreds of holes at once.

By Ernie Pyle

It is done by men, using electric hand drills. They do pile about a dozen sheets on top of each other, and drill the same hole through all of them at once. But that one operation is about as near to the automobile version ot mass production as I saw. When the sheets are drilled, they go to the wingbuilding line. One piece of metal has been curved and shaped to: form the leading edge of a wing. This becomes the foundation. It is laid in a long wooden jig, or cradle. Workmen gather around, with their drills and their rivets. Piece by piece—by the insertion of metal spars, crosspieces, and’ flat sheets of outer skin—they build the wing upward. It is almost like building a house. The fuselage is put together in very much the same way. Workmen build it up piece by piece, as though they were building the framework of a house. It is actually in four sections--two top, two bottom. Then these are bolted together, and then the skin, or outer wall, is riveted on. The Craftsmen’s Turn Now the fuselage is moved out into another huge room—big and light in comparison with the main factory, which seems rather dark. Out here the fuselages sit a few feet apart, in long row after row. Movable work benches and ladders surround each one. And here begins the slow and vastly skilled process of installing the engine and all the instruments. You might say that up to this point it has just been carpenter work. But from here on the craftsmen come in—the electrician, the plumber, the decorator. The instruments in a modern fighting plane may cost as much as the engine, and .the two of them together are likely to exceed the cost of the rest of the plane. A plane is a big, complicated and expensive thing. And, when you see in one room a hundred of them getting the last finishing touches, you're seeing a lot of airplanes. My only trouble was that I'd climb all over one, and gaze at the maze of expensive instruments in the cockpit, and admire the intricacy of the engine, and the beauty of the finish on the fuselage and then I'd think—all this wonderful and laborious thing, all this labor and genius of thought, and twe months from now it may be lying on an English countryside, utterly and completely wrecked, forever,

Inside Indianapolis (4nd “Our Town”)

PEOPLE AROUND town and often several miles

out of town have dashed out of their homes recently to peer into the sky for the squadron of planes they hear above. But they never see the squadron and they usually give up after a while, convinced that some airplanes have lost their bearings in the clouds above and are simply circling. But what they are hearing are just the engines on the testing blocks out at Allison's in Speedway City. No, we're not kidding you. The fact is that the exhausts from the test blocks go straight up after going through a series of silencing devices. The fumes and noise, therefore, come out of the exhaust at the top .of the building and if you are right in front of the plant there's a chance you won't hear a thing. The noise apparently goes straight up in the air, bounces into the clouds and comes down as far away from Speedway City as 20 miles. That's why you never have seen that big mystery squadron.

The Guard's Houses and Boots

IT'S HOUSE-HUNTING time for a lot of National Guard officers. They're trying now to put the finger on apartments in the resort area near Camp Shelby, Miss., where they're pretty sure they're going to go. Most of them expect the mcbilization order any hour. One insurance executive cleans up his desk each night, prepared to go on duty in the-morning without having to go to the office. Too, a lot of officers are tentatively planning on five years’ service instead of one. They figure that the conscription arrangement calls for five years; that

Washington

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—The Senate Interstate Commerce Committee has approved the Wheeler resolution to investigate the extent to which German and

other foreign interests exert a measure of control over our own defense industries, >

Apparently the Administrdtion is not overly enthusiastic about this proposal, possibly because it is the idea of Senator Wheeler who was a leading opponent of conscription. Wheeler may not even ask for a special appropriation now but only for a chance to make a preliminary study with the existing facilities of his committee" hoping that on the basis of what he can uncover between now and January he can induce the Senate to vote special funds at the next session. Germany’s interest in American industry amotints to many hundreds of miilions of dollars, the Senate Committee report states. It believes that certain drugs, optical equipment, chemicals, minerals, alloys and other defense materials are subject to control or pressures which investigation may disclose to be inappropriate to the country’s defense needs. Only sketchy information is available but much of that kind of thing was discovered during the first World War,

Magneto Patents Seized

At that time many key American industries were dominated by German-owned American patents. - Optical glass was especially under German control anc it was necessary for this Government to ask private citizens to contribute field glasses and opera glasses in order to obtain glass for range finders. Eighty per cent of the surgical instrument industry was dominated by German-owned patents and Germany had control of many essential drugs. The Senate Committee reported that 20 years ago Germany absolutely dominated the American market on magnetos and for that reason this Government was compelled to seize the German Bosch magneto patents and set up an American industry. According to current reference manuals, the committee says, three-fourths of the common stock of the successor

My Day

HYPE PARK Tuesday.—Here it is Tuesday and I must begin by telling you of a picnic which we had at Hyde Park on Sunday. You have probably read in, the papers about how many distinguished people came to share our chowder and frankfurters at my cottage, so I will just tell you one thing which made me glow with pride. F. P. A. remarked, holding a paper cup in his hand: “This is good coffee, I never take coffee outside of my own home because it is usually bad.” Even though I had to tell him that Miss Thompson was responsible, for she is the person who really cares about coffee, I still felt a pride in having someone around who insisted on perfection, or as near perfection as she could attain in the way of coffee. I understand that F. P. A. is running for election on the school board in his very Republican Connecticut distrftt, and I sincerely hope he is elected. I can imagine no one who would be a more valuable memper of any school board. Everyone seemed” relaxed and at ease. Even Katharine Hepburn, who landed in a seaplane in the Hudson River at the foot of our place and dashed a “mile and a half through the woods to the big house, found the President to bring her over to the picnic.

Things You Didn't Know—

A WHILE BACK we told you about Indianapolis being the farming capital of the state and some

things like that. But we'll bet you didn’t know these |

things, too: That Indianapolis is the second largest corn market in the United States, receiving 22,000,000 or more bushels every year. (6,000,000 of L goes to local mills making corn products). That our grain market is one of the six largest in the world. That last year Indianapolis was the world’s largest hog-shipping center. That this city is’ now the center of the Federal Government's organization combating. soil erosion .in the eastern half of the country. | And that the City Market is the world’s largest food market under roof.

Political Odds and Ends

DOPE AMONG the Democrats is that if Willkie carries Indiana by less than 50,000, Schricker 1s sure to be the next Governor, ... Conversely, the dope goes that if the Willkie majority is more than 50,000 there will be a lot of long-faced Democrats on Nov. 6th. . .. Marion County Republicans are conducting a continuous poll among Indianapolis factory workers to determine how the working men are thinking about the Presidential race. . .. And inside information on these polls is to the effect that while F. D. R. has a comfortable lead here it is not nearly so large as the G. O. P. {first thought.

magneto company is now held by or in the name of foreign interests, and this firm is understood to be producing motor parts for the American airplane industry. In the first World War, enemy-owned property was largely held hy thé German Junker class and a considerable portion was owned by the Kaiser and ths royal family. Now such property, technically privately owned in Germany, is under Nazi decrees, subject 19 the direction of the Reich. In the first World War it was found that a large German firm which installed inside railways in American industrial plants, had for 20 years been competing for: plant equipment all over the country on plans and specifications which were forwarded to their office in Berlin and then te the German Government. German fire insurance companies had accumulated plans of industrial plants in America and these also went to the German Government. One German controlled company here, after contracting to supply aviation equipment for the Allies, succeeded by deception and delay in postponing deliveries for 15 months, the Senate Committee reported.

Foreign Control Increased

How much of this still goes on’ cannot be known without extensive investigation. Some instances have been discovered. The tie-up in military optical instruments continued. Tie-ups in important alloy metals’ were discovered in the TNEC investigation. The Senate Committee said in its report that when the full facts are learned, they may dwarf the disclosures of the first World War period. The tremendous post-war expansion of foreign investments in this country may have extended the scope of foreign control. Most of it is hidden under dummies. Corporations in neutral countries have been used as screens. American investments in Germa.iy, amounting to perhaps two billion dollars the committee says,

may have .been “utilized in some degree to blackmail

American interests whose German plants are endangered.” Exchanges of reports, secret processes, patents, formulas, and personnel give rise to the danger that defense information may go to foreign powers. Accounting reports when exchanged would give vital information as to defense orders. These are some of the matters Senator Wheeler

I said goodby to the President Sunday night bhecause he returned to Washington last night; while I left Hyde Park .early Monday morning. I drove to

Scranton, Pa., where I had promised to spend several hours visiting WPA projects. Something went wrong with the starter on my car and Monday started badly in consequence. I am always ashamed to know so little about the insides of my car. However, though I wasted an hour, I had allowed a good deal of extra time and reached Scranton on schedule. The day was interesting and we reached Mrs. John Regis’ (June Hamilton Rhodes) home for dinner and the night. Her farmhouse is a joy and the farm a most interesting and practical business venture. We were up early this morning to see the cattle and are now on our way to Hyde Park. By the way, I must not forget that this is Better Parenthood Week, and that I want to extend my congratulations to Miss Katharine Lenroot, chief of the United States Children’s Bureau, who was awarded the annual medal for outstanding service to children, given every year by Parent's Magazine. It was presented to her on Sept. 23d, at a luncheon which opened Better Parenthood Week. The object of this week, which is sponsored by the U. S. Children’s Bureau and the leading parent education and child welfare organizations, is to improve. the knowledge of .mothers so that they may be able to make better homes. for their children.

School | Board Gets [Fund at.

Four-Tenths of 1 Per Cent ~ To Pay Salaries.

By EARL HOFF

The School Board last night assured payment of teachers’ salaries and other school expenses until January when it obtained a $325,000 temporary loan from the City Securities Corp. The loan, bid for at an interest rate of 4-10ths of 1 per cent and offering $42.50 as a premium, is in anticipation of tax funds to be received in January. It will cost the School City $281.61. Only one other bid was received.

The .School Board also let milk contracts to the Banquet Ice Cream & Milk Co., the Capitol Dairies, Inc., the Polk Sanitary Milk Co. the Mutual Milk Co., and the Weber Milk Co. on their bids of 245 cents per half pint. The contract for crackers for school lunches was awarded to the Century Biscuit Co. on a bid of 10.5 cents per pound. A. B. Good, School business director, also urged condemnation proceedings against a lot needed for expansion at Crispus Attucks High School. The Board approved payment of $10,448.50 to architects, engineers and contractors for the new Howe High School addition and voted to purchase 1664 school dictionaries at a cost of $1,647.36.

Plans for emergency training

{classes for defense workers at Cris-

pus Attucks, Manual : Training, Washington and Tech High Schools were approved. Employed and unemployed workers are to be trained without charge five nights a week for 12 weeks. Mr. Good reported receipt of $40,000 from the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility in lieu of taxes. Leaves of absense were granted Warren E. Cleveland of Tech High School and Helen Nicolai, School 5. New teachers appointed by the School Board were Carl B. Coombs, mechanical drawing, Tech;. Roy A. Seyferth, physical education, Schools 7 and 62, and Mary I. Gibson, vocational education, Crispus Attucks. Assistants named at three high schools were: Dorothy Weyreter, commercial department, and Robert Frazee, locker room, Manual Training; Charles Parrett, print shop; Robert W. McKeand, electrical shop, and John Mihatel, graphic arts department, Tech, and Loydlovella Cook, physical education, Washington.

Then, they are simply trans-. ferred to another school, usually around promotion time, The first World War gave the School Health Service its big push in Indianapolis. The nucleus of a school health program had already been established in 1913.. Clubwomen supplied a nurse for the school district. In 1914, two nurses were added and the Health Department assumed the expense of the fledgeling health service. During 1917, as thousands of young men underwent physical examinations for military service, a startling fact became apparent. A much larger percentage than was suspected was found physically unfit for the rigors of military service. It was, perhaps, the first mass physical checkup ever made of the nation’s young men. And among other things, it showed that most of these men were un-

HESE revelations set school officials thinking. And by 1923, the entire school city was patrolled by physicians and nurses. A year later the Potter Fresh Air School was built. There are many alumni of the Potter school, men and women in the professions and trades in Indianapolis whose childhood dis abilities are now dim memories. Today, the health of every Indianapolis school child is a matter of school record. During periodic physical examination, deficiencies’ are noted. Their response to treatment is observed.

| they were brought up to believe in.

In the name of the great totalitarian bogey they whoop up the - mob against what ever minority seems weakest and least popular. It is civic courage and civil liberty that will beat the European and Asiatic bogeys abroad and at coc soconne - home and firmly establish this republic of free men in the new world that is being hacked out in cruelty ‘and bloodshed. An American monopolist’s despotism will not succeed in saving America any more than the poor rotten French businessman's republic succeeded in saving France. What will be saved out of the wreck of the British financial em=pire will be saved not by the smooth bankers of Threadneedle Street, but by the traditional ap=titude for free government of the English people as a whole. The qualities we can rely on in this struggle are just the qualities the dictators and their slaves haven't got, the qualities that have made our country, in spite of short sightedness and stupidity and greed, the best place on earth for a man to live. In times of great stress nations sink to their lowest common denominator. I believe that, just as the lowest common denominator of Europe has become some= thing bad for mankind, the low= est common denominator of the peoples of North America is to the good and that it will get better. A great deal depends on the kind of leadership that can work up that lowest common denominator of habits and traditions into a usable public formula, It may be that we needed just this test to make a nation out of an overgrown but still half provincial frontier republic. Anyway it has come and we must facé it. If we have the nerve, if only we have the nerve to use our heads and the exuberant diversity of our land and our people and our mighty industrial plant and the experience of our statebuilding past, we’ll pull through. We'll not only pull through, but we'll give the world an example of organized liberty that will knock Hitler's thousand years of despotism into a cocked hat, an old out-of-date museum piece of a Napoleonic cocked hat.

Yes, we are in danger: But the danger that threatens us most is not from across the Atlantic: It is the danger that comes from poor thinking and incomplete organization at home. The breakdown of the 19th century system has caught the United States in a difficult stage of transition. We have no choice but to go forward, if necessary comspleting our. reo rganization under fire. No matter what kind of economic system is eventually set up, it must work toward. the same basic aims for which the Union was founded. It is around the core of respect for the rights and liberties of ‘the individual man that all our institutions have grown up. To bring the life of every American back into sharp relation to this central principle we need words as freshly accurate as those of ’76, and state-building as rapid, energetic and original as that of the convention that laid down our Constitution. I think that if we could look at the development of American government under the New Deal as if it were 10 years off, liberals and tories alike would be forced to admit that more useful build= ing has been done than they have been willing to see. To put the republic into a state of defense we must organize for liberty or else there'll be no republic to defend. The job before us is to make every man’s liberty and every man’s inventiveness and -pushwork efficiently in the frame of close-knit industrial organization. We've got to prove that machineproduction in war or peace can better serve the ends of liberty than the ends of tyranny. It is a great and terrible moment. Every selfish and powerminded group in the country is going to try to use the confusion for its own ends. At a time when what we need most is clear heads and the will to sacrifice private prejudices and interests for the common good, men in high office and low are ruining the record of their otherwise useful lives by a panic scrapping of every principle

HATCH ACT BAN |S SHOVED ASIDE

Missouri Exception Made; U. S. Attorney Who Quit May Get Job Back.

By FRED W. PERKINS

Times Special Writer : WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—An exception is being made to the Hatch Act policy under which a Federal official or employee “stays quit” when he resigns to engage in political activity. ; Maurice M. Milligan, recently an

also-ran in the Democratic Sena- |

torial primary in Missouri, is likely to get his old job back as United States attorney for western Missouri because of his record in prosecuting numerous - important cases, including the Kansas City vote frauds and the income-tax cases involving ‘Boss” Pendergast and some of his: aides. 2 Attorney General Jackson regarded Mr. Milligan’s record highly enough ‘to recommend his reappointment to President Roosevelt, and the White House sent the nomination to the Senate last week. The prgbability of no fight against th€ nomination was indicated by Senator Carl Hatch (D. N. M)), author of the law against political activity of Federal ~payrollers, and who heretofore has subscribed in all cases to the dictum laid down by former Attorney General Frank Murphy that officeholders cannot count on reappointment if they leave for political purposes—that temporary resignations are not in the spirit of the law. “In this instance,” said Senator Hatch, “I shall be very happy to vote for Mr. Milligan’s confirmation, although I repeatedly have said that when an employee resigns to engage in political activity he should stay resigned. “This is an exception from the rule and not a departure from principle.”
