LOS ANGELES, May 16—Affer you've been) through a few factories, they all get to looking alike to you You =2t so yowd just as soon not see any more 1zctories, : But I will have to admit perking up at the Lockse ‘heed factory. I guess ‘it really isn’t any, bigger than Douglas, but it happens to be sa laid out that you can get” a grandstand view of it.
’
At the Lockheed plant there is
a balcony; or mezzanine floor, along one side. You can go up * there sand look down on the whole vast works. It has the same fascination that you experience standing and. looking down on Niagara Falls. You just can't stop looking. the planes. You get up around a
‘hundred and then theyre so tar away you can’t ‘dis-
tinguish them. : 3 You'll look straight down below you at a team of workmen, and follow them minutely for awhile. Then you'll pick out some far group, and. try to see what they're doing. . : ty "Prom up there it is like a sea of raw airplanes.(Ang, there’s hardly a spot on any single plane in ‘line where some man isn’t working on it. Men like ants gll over the things, and inside them, too. Almost every planz has at least 20 men working on it. Up until the very last stage the planes are painted a greenish yellow. As you stand up there, the entire factory becomes a’ field of yellow beneath you. ®
A Plane for the Jungle
This yellow stuff is merely a protective surfacing, to keep.the metal from being scratched. When the ship is finished, this cologjng is taken off and the real paing is sprayed on. : - . The planes both for Britain and our own Army are camouflaged before they leave the factory. The color is ‘a dull greenish-brown, with: gray belly and gray under wings. i But we saw one plane that was a ‘lush jungle green. “What's that for?” I asked. - And it turned out that it was Headed for the Dutch East Indies, where the jungles are deep green. ° = At every plant I visited there was an immense’
Both at Douglas and at Lockheed’ you can ‘walk for block after block alongside planes being finished

- THE STORY ON Page One of this newspaper referring to the Democratic high command's deci-
" gion to run Judge Dewey Myers for Mayor, Albert
O. Deluse for Secretary of State, and Sheriff Al Feeney for Congressman, was supposed to be a deep, dark secret but like all such things it spilled over. The point is, though, that all of these maneuverings are apt fo split the Democrats wide open in the County. It is pretty well known that Sheriff Feeney isn’t going to take what they choose to hand him—much less’ a race against Ludlow. ‘Put this in your hat: Right now, three gentlemen would like to be Mayor: Judge Myers, Mr. Deluse and the Sheriff. Two of them will have to give. Your guess
is as good as anybody’s. This much seems certain,
-, though. Congressman Ludlow is definitely on the spot
and if the powers-that-be can’t induce one of these three to run against him, they'll get somebody else. And don't start kidding yourself that a party convention can’t deliver when if decides to{pring out the ax.
The Liquor Business—GOSSIP HAS: IT that the A. B. C. (the State Liquor Board) is ready to crack down on several more holders of liquor licenses. The way we get it is that the board decided not to shoot the whole works at one time and that there are more citations. on the way. ... Have you ever noticed the name on some of the yellow fire plugs around town. It’s “Darling,” but we’ll bet that isn’t what they call it over at the court when they have to pay the fine for parking beside it. ... . The State Pyrchaaing Bureau is going te. contract June®lst (two‘months earlier than usual) for all its fall and winter clothing for the .20 institutiofis in the state. Reason: The Bureau wants to get in early because of the war deliveries situation.

WASHINGTON, May 16.—Apparently the Senate is: about’ to save the ‘country from a blunder committed by the House which would have added no end of confusion to the defense effort. : © THe Senate Military Affairs Committee has : .unanimously thrown out of the y Mandatory Priorities Bill a House provision that would have ripped priorities control out of OPM ani placed it in the hands of a joint Army-Navy board. Inasmuch as the Senate committee was unan- . imous ifn this action, the Senateis not likely to overturn it. This sort of business goes to the hLeart of the defense effort.. It Sllustrates the difficulty of a democracy in such a complicated job _of industrial direction as our t 1 gigéntic defense effort requires. We are creating an enormous special industry which is upsetting ordinary business activities all up and down the line. The key to this operation lies in priorities—the matter of determining what industries are allowed to have what materials for what. pur-
poses. : Prices Must Be Watched
_ There are not enough materials to go around. We have been put on notice that the Government will need practically the entire aluminum output . next year. Magnesium is so short. now that: some plants have had to curtail operations. Others are facing partial shutdowns. Nearly all metals are now on the. critical list, subject to preference orders for defense. The full priorities critical list runs into scores of items. Forty-five new ones were added a few days: ago. E. R. Stettinius Jr. is in charge of priorities for OPM. . Tied closely into these priorities are questions of prices. It is becoming increasingly necessary "for the Government ito step in -to prevent prices. on

They sit on steel trucks, and the trucks move on small wheels that run on wide railroad tracks. It is-the only “gravity assembly line”. for planes in the world. 4 The hangar floor is a little higher at one end than the other, When a plane is to move from one stage to the next they just remove a pin from the truck, the

Indianapolis and New York and how' businesénien take advantage of the service. | Then he told of the Indianapolis man whd. bid on a ‘big grain order in Peoria with an option expiring at 10 'a..m. The local chap placed the call at 9:57, but a farmer had chopped down. a tree between here and Peoria and it had. fallen across the lines. The phone company had to route the call around the back way ‘and he got connected at 10:02. Peoria had sold the grain out from under. ° Now the local man is shouting he’s going to sue the company for all the money he would have made if the farmer hadn’t gone after that tree.

WALLY MIDDLESWORTH has hit rough going
Jately. in his efforts to provide a ‘social center for
the Army, Navy ‘and Marines stationed in Indianap-. olis. Some time ag®, it was revealed that the Recreation Director had got a center at 128 W. Wabash St. and. was equipping ‘it on tick, the City having no money . to spend for sych things. ‘Well, he was getting along fine—even got light bulbs donated, rent free, a free. music machine and
all that—whén the woe descended. It came in the]:
form of a statute book -that hit the genial director between the eyes. The law says that utilities can’t| give away things to the City. That lets out light, heat and telephone and now Wally is in the dark: The Center was all ready to go, too, when this disaster came. \ : He’s sitting. up nights at City Hall, moodily trying to figure a way out. So far, no light.

scarce materials from going through the roof. Leon Hehderson, Administrator of OPACS, is in charge of that. He and Priorities Director Stettinius are working hand-in-glove to prevent priorities from boosting prices to prohibition levels. : -Mr. Henderson has appealed to machine tool manufacturers not to raise prices and a schedule. of maximum prices has “been issued. By consultation with producers, prices have been steadied in many lines. As the pineh becomes tighter the Government may need more power to protect defense industry and civilian consumers as well from extortionate prices. The law of supply and demand can’t work freely when you have the abnormal demand created by the defense effort clamoring for the limited supply. of materials. Whenever priorities are necessary,
*
“then price restriction has tol come along right be-
hind. Correcting a Mistake
That the situation will become tighter everyone in the Government recognizes. Tin can manufacturers have been 'asked to make a 10 per cent reduction in the amount of tin used in coating. Tin must be saved now in every possible way. We may soon be compelled to do the same regarding rubber, all of which must be imported from the Far East. Defense officials are taking every opportunity to warn business men of the constantly increasing defense demands ‘that will be made on industry. One defense official says that in some instances output must be - multiplied 10 to 30 times. ie Thus the question of priorities is one affecting the whole industrial activity of the country. It is far broader than strictly Army or Navy goods, reaching back into she manufacturing process to the original raw matetials,\and spreading’ out fanwise in every direction. To-saddle such responsibility on a board composed of Army and Navy officers as the House proposed to do does not make sense. The responsibility belongs to OPM and related offices which are supervising the whole defense operation.

World War 1 Official Suggests. Clamp on Radio And Cable Lines. NEW YORK, May 16 .(U. P.)— George Creel, official government censor during the World ‘War, said today that any plan for censorship of the press: in the event of war would fail and ‘he ‘suggested as a workable alternative a rigid censorship of radio and cable comnrunications. . Such a censorship, he said, “will not’ touch opinion in any degree put . . . will prevent communication between ‘potential enemies’ and their undercover agents in the ‘United States.” : Writing in the current issue of Collier's Magazine, Mr. Creel deseribed as “useless” voluntary prohibitions in news reporting such as asked recently by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, = These prohibitions included actual or intended movement of vessels or aircraft; development of technical weapons; new ships or aircraft, and the arrival in American ports of damaged British ships for repairs. “These are . virtually the same prohibitions that we laid down in 1917,” Mr. Creel "said, “and are every whit as unnecessary. ‘The arrival and departue of ships and planes are about as secret as the trips of a sightseeing bus.” :
Cites Recent, Example
He said that within a week sfter the call ‘for secrecy ‘in connection with damaged British ships, the British battleship . Malaya limped into New York harbor and, although
ciations respected the Navy's request, “every vantage point was black with spectators.” “, .', Censorship of the press in any form is not the answer, never was the answer, and never will be ‘the answer,” he said.
