Harvest Keeps Army Waiting

HOLLOWAY, Mich. Aug. 7 (U. P.).—John V. Prochaska may need a second Army furlough te complete his threshing. Prochaska, 30-year-old member of the Ft. Sheridan, Ill, 210th Coast Artillery, was granted a 30day leave by the Army to thresh for 57 of his neighbors who said in a petition that he was the “only one in these parts who can run a machine.” His furlough is up Aug. 16 and despite the fact that he has threshed approximately 22,000 bushels of wheat and oats, he still has 25 farms on his list.

KATE SMITH LAUDS ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

Kate Smith, one of the nation’s most popular entertainers, writes in| the current True Story magazine that “there is nobody in the country to equal Eleanor Roosevelt as a F possessor of warmth, friendliness and understanding.” “If I had to model myself after someone else, I'd like to be like Mrs. Roosevelt,” she writes in “My Friend Eleanor Roosevelt.” “She is the loveliest and most human person I've ever known.”

PUSHES UNIFIED AIR FORCE IDEA

Rep. Randolph Takes New Tack in Demand for House Inquiry.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special’ Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7—A new drive for House investigation of the advisability of unifying United States military air forces was begun today by Rep. Jennings Randolph (D. W. Va). In a letter to Rep. Adolph Sabath

(D. Ill), chairman of the House Rules Commit- | tee, Mr. Ran- | dolph proposed | that the scope of a select committee already i n v estigating civil aviation be broadened to include a thorough study of an independent air force. 5 Rep. Jack Nichols (DOD Okla.), chairman of the select committee, which has been studying air-line accidents, said he would be quite willing to have the committee take on the expanded task if the Rules Committee would approve. Mr. Randolph wrote Mr. Sabath, whose committee recently held | hearings on another proposal for an independent-air-force study: “Interest in the subject of a separate air force continues to grow. This is true among members

| Asks Enlarged Committee

“I have hoped that thorough study of the matter would be made by either a standing committee of ‘the House or a specially appointed |group.. However, this now appears | unlikely, and, since the hearing before the committee on July 29, it | has occurred to me that the subject might properly be referred to the select committee headed by Mr. Nichols which is now conducting an investigation of commercial aviation. | “I therefore request that the | above-mentioned committee be au- | thorized and instructed to make a | thorough survey and report on the feasibility of setting up the air | force as a separate branch of the Gov ernment. | “In view of the increasing work | this would imply it might be advisa- | ble to add two members to the group. Of course, this could be de|termineq after consulting with Rep. | | Nichols. I feel in this way some-| ‘thing really constructive could be | accomplished.

“Constructive,” He Says

“It seems to me that the com- | mittee members are in a position to make a thorough and far-reaching | survey. 1 feel the report they would | make on the practicability of setting up the air force as a separate unit | would be most constructive.” | That considerable sentiment exists lin Congress for an independent air | force was indicated in first returns

So. honest confession being what it is, I must testify to amazement | —— over the officers of the Ordnance Department encountered during a trip to a number of defense plants. They rank with the best production men you meet in America’s top-flight industries. And apparently Army titles and traditions have had little or nothing te do with their present status.

Thus he was prepared —not through West Point or by the slow process of seniority—for one of the biggest industrial jobs in America. The Ravenna plant has approximately 1000 buildings—all erecied since last September. It took the Government only 28 days to secure the options for the vast tract—a

Since then more than 14,000 construction workers have not only built the thousand structures but laid 120 miles of railroad track and untold miles of roads, built sewer systems, and erected all the offices, restaurants and sanitary facilities of what is actually a new city. The plant might be in full production today if it hadn’t been for a jurisdictional strike. At the ancient and beautiful {Springfield arsenal, we met John C. |Garand, inventor of the Garand

A French-Canadian whose intera shooting gallery, he is a modest has a shock of curly hair and speaks with an accent. He fidgeted uneasily until asked to explain the mechanism of his gun.
