Last Leg of

Flight to His Master's Side

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10 (U. P.).—Laddie, an old dog that nearly died of loneliness when Everett Scott enlisted in the Army and left him in Kansas, rejoins his master tod

It took a blood transfusion, intravenous injections and forcible feeding to strengthen him for a 2000-mile airplane trip on Kansas City to San Francisco, but Laddie today = apparently sensed that he and Scott would soon be together again.

He hadn't eaten for weeks; today he abandoned his hunger strike. He gained strength during the flight, and his eyes brightened. “He seemed to sense. that he was on his way to see his master,” Transcontinental -and Western Air, Inc, officials said. Dr. Gustav Henno, a veterinarjan who met Laddie when he arrived last night and took him to an animal hospital, said, “all the tonic he needs is a good look at Private Scott.” " A special plane, piloted by Ernie Smith, famous trans-Pacific aviator, was ‘ready to fly him this morning from San Francisco to Monterey, 100 miles south of San Francisco. Lieut.-Col. Raymond Lovell, Army veterinarian, said he would meet Laddie with an ambulance at Monterey, and carry him eight miles to Ft. Ord, Where Scott is stationed. The 17th Infaniry Regiment will adopt Laddie as its mascot.

Several hundred stood in a cold .

raim at the San Francisco Airport last ‘night to watch Laddie® arrive, and crowds had met him at

every stop on the way.

He slept -most of the way, and as he neared San Francisco, roused himself and stood in his

blanket-lined crate.

Laddie is 10 years old—partly airedale, but mostly mongrel— and he had hunted rabbits with Scott around Chanute, = Kas, since his puppyhood. When Scott joined the Army four months ago,

Laddie went on a hunger strike,

and by the time the Army advised Scotti he could keep him in camp, Ladcie was nearly dead. Veterinarians gave him transfusions, intraveneous injections and fed him with a tube for. several days in Kansas City.

20-TON FLYING FORT IS TESTED BY ARMY

WASHINGTON, Feb, 10 (U. P.).— The Army is putting a new edition of its famous, four-engined “flying fortress” bombers through “advanced performance” ‘tests at Wright Field, O., preparatory to obtaining largescale deliveries, the War Department said today. “The huge 20-ton craft, powered by four: 1200-horsepower Wright engines, was described as an improved model of the famous B-17 “flying fortress” series manufactured

‘| by Boeing Airline Co., Seattle, Wash.

Although officials admitted that it has a speed “yell in excess of 300 miles per hour,” and is equipped with an improved cooling system, armor plate and self-sealing gas tanks, it was believed to have a cruising radius of at least 4000 miles, and a bomb-carrying capacity of about five tons.

TO CURTISS MEN

Earle Says ‘Prop’ Production to Be Well Under Way By - Mid-Summer. (Continued from Page One)

ated from’ college only 10 years ago, Mr. Earle holds a pilot’s.license and is a lleutenant in the Naval Reserve. ; NE He explained that Indianapolis’ former status as an: automobilemanufacturing center had considerable effect on Curtiss-Wright’s decision to locate the new “prop” plant here. Guy W. Vaughan, Curtiss-Wright Corp. president, was inh Indianapolis in the days when it was known for its automobiles and ‘it was he who. originally suggested the city for a new plant site.

675 Parts Per ‘Prop’

His suggestion was investigated, Mr. Earle said, by Mr. Swigert, who was poplidle rele fn superintendent for the Marmon-Liberty and Stutz auto interest. Mr. Swigert added that he "himself had charge of the construction of the layout that Curtiss-Wright has taken over. There are 675 parts in the complete variable pitch Curtiss-Wright propeller and the plant here, one of four which the division has, will manufacture parts and assemble them. The metal blades themselves are made in the Pittsburgh factory.

The propelers are-used on all Army pursuit planes, the CurtissWright cargo transport the Army is using, Nayy fighters and patrol bombers and the Navy's Martin B-26, the ‘super bomber” which uses a four-blade prop. CurtissWright was the first to build such a8 “prop,” Mr. Earle said. The product also is used on the Allison - powered Bell © Airacobra P-39, which fires & cannon directly through the hub of the prop.

Sister Lives Here

feet space and about 100,000 employees, Mr. Earle said. Many of the company’s men are Hoosiers, he added, and the chief engineer, George Brady, is from Anderson. Mr. Earle has a sister here, Mrs. George Gress. Mr. Earle said that although the plant here would be placed under strict guard, he did not think provision would be made now for “blackouts.” Guarding of CurtissWright plants is so strict, he said, that he was expelled himself from one of the division’s plants recently jor not having the proper identificaon. The Navy was represented at the luncheon by Comm. Donald Royce, who flew here from Dayton. Army was represented by a Ft. Harrison officer.

They appeared for the opposition as the Committee went into its last two days of hearings on the British aid bill. The supporters of th bill will end hearings with testimony by Wendell L. Willkie and James B. Conant, president of Harvard University.

Consider Other Changes

" Senate administration leaders meantime considered making new concessions to the opponents in an effort to insure a large majority for passage of the bill within three weeks. As far as the Committee. is concerned, the Administration is assured of a 13 to 10 majority and Administration leaders are seeking to convert Senator Wallace H. White Jr. (R. Me.). Opponents of the ‘bill conclude seven days of testimony today with Kathleen Norris, novelist; President Joseph Curran of the C. I. O.’s Na--tional Maritime Union, and the Rev.

Edward Lodge Curran of Brooklyn.|

Former President John L. Lewis of the C. I. O. and District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey of New York have been ‘tentatively scheduled; but Republican members said it was unlikely that either could appear.’

House Passes It, 260 to 165

The House passed the bill with only minor amendments late Saturday by a 260-t0-165 vote. Nine Hoosiers voted for the bill and three against it. Those voting

in favor were Representatives John

W. Boehne Jr., William H. Larrabee and William T. Schulte, all Democrats. Rep. Louis Ludlow was the only Democrats to Joie against it. The Hoosier Republitans voting against were George W. Gillie, Robert A. Grant, Charles A. Halleck, Forest A. Harness, Noble J. Johnson, Gerald W. Landis Raymond E. Springer and Earl Wilson. Senate leaders said there would be not more than 30 Senate votes against the bill; the opposition de> clined to estimate its strength,

Wheeler Suspicious Mr. Willkie returned to the United States the same day that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was appealing to America by radio for material aid and promising that “the gallant armies” of the United States were not needed —‘“not this year, not next year, nor any other year that I can foresee.”

Taft Suggests Changes

The Senate Committee begins consideration of amendments to the bill Wednesday. Chairman Walter F. George (D.
