By WALTER LECKRONE AMERICAN INDUSTRY HAS caught up with aviation's demand

A year ago engines were an aircraft bottleneck. Bombers coming off West Coast assembly lines had to be flown away on “borrowed” engines—engines which were then shipped back by rail to go on other bombers. One set of engines had to serve a half-dozen or a

dozen new planes in turn.

Today warplanes need not wait for engines. The General Motors, Pratt & Whitney and Wright plants alone turn out 4,680,000 horse-

power a month,

Packard and Ford engine plants, now starting production, anticipate around 2000 engines a month by Christmas. These are engines - for combat planes, in large part. Many training planes are powered by other engine i A Wg entirely outside these figures. ‘The War Department is cautious about figures. But current monthly output is enough for well over 2000 combat planes a month—

& figure not yet reached by the

aircraft industry. And engine pro-

duction is growing faster than plane production.

The hottest debate has been

about

cooling. - Should warplanes have air-cooled enginet-or | liquid-cooled?

Prewar American practice leaned heavily toward air-cooling.: pean’ designers had almost entirely abandoned air for liquid-tooled

They can be cooled by forcing either a stream of liquid or a stream of air around the cylinder walls to carry away that heat. Both methods were tried. Both proved successful. But the argument did not'end there. It only began there. In America the air-cooled engine has ‘developed the greater horsepower. This type saves, of course, the weight of whatever liquid might be used for cooling, and whatever danger there might be in a It has some other advantages of

BRITISH OVERRULE

TALK OF INVASION

‘Attack on Continent Now

Would Be ‘Madness,’ Says

Lord Moyne in Statement for Government; Lack of Tanks Given as Reason.

© LONDON, Oct. 22 (U. P.).—Lord Moyne said in the House of Lords today that it would be “madness” for Britain

- to attempt to open a second front in the west to aid Russia \ and described as “folly” any move which would denude

England of an army needed to resist invasion. Speaking for the Government after widespread demands for a second front, Lord Moyne, Colonial Secretary, said Britain lacked tanks and artillery for an attempted in-

vasion of the Continent. tinent.

He said the Government,

despite amateur strategists, soap-box orators and campaigns in the press had no intention of inviting another Dunkirk.

“I cannot imagine anything which would suit Hitler’s move better than if we adopted the Chinese method of committing suicide on your enemy’s doorstep,” he said.

He made the Government's posi-|

tion clear after demands for an invasion had been made by Lord Strabolgi who “deplored” that when the greatest opportunity of all time had presented itself Britain was | unable to strike in the west because of lack of equipment. . ‘ Lord Strabolgi claimed that Ger- | many had only 25 second rate divisions in all of western Europe and that they had less than 100 tanks to support them. But Lord Moyne persisted in the Government's refusal. Fear Lack of Ships

He said that a Western Front operation would severely strain - British shipping. : “It would be madiess for us to improvise an expedition of that kind,” Moyne said. “You cannot land a well equipped army without a vast amount of shipping. It would be folly to denude this country of an army we will need in case of invasion. “You cannot land a force with merely rifles and bayonets to face all the artillery and tanks available in France.” ; Lord Moyne pointed out that when Britain had an expeditionary force in France before the French: defeat its. commander in chief, Lord Gort, pointed out in his dispatches that the number of men was less important than equipment.

EIRE BUYS 15 SHIPS TO SAIL FROM U. S.

\WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 (U. P). «~The Irish Free State will soon have a merchant marine of approximately 15 vessels to carry goods to Eire from the United States. The first ship of the fleet, it was learned today, has already departed and may already be at her destination. Its name and sailing date are regarded as secret by marine officials. The line has been estab-

CLAIM RUIN OF RED INDUSTRY

Germans Say Donets Basin Victory Has ‘Broken Russia’s Back.’

BERLIN, Oct.22 (U. P.). — Nazi informants admitted today that driving snowstorms had slowed German encircling operations against Moscow and that the Russians were counter-attacking in the Leningrad area, but claiméd that gains in the industrial Donets area had broken the Soviet’s economic bdckbone, The High Command reported that the drive into the Donets area was continuing according to plan, but informed quarters said the advance in this area, too, had been slowed down somewhat to give German troops a “breathing spell” after the long forced marches they carried out in the past two weeks. Nazis - claimed that Germans, smashing into the Donets Basin, had seized control of 70 per cent of Russia's coal, including the brown coal area southwest of Moscow, 85 per cent of her iron ore, 85 per cent of her pig iron, 84 per cent of her tin, 75 per cent of her bauxite and almost all of her sources of manganese, nickel and platinum,

Cold Hampers Drive. German sources reported that the battle before Moscow continues to rage with undiminished ferocity, but indicated no sensational developments could be expected in the immediate future. Nazi panzer lorces were reported slowly fighting their way forward in an effort to close a pincers around Moscow and take the Soviet capital from the rear, but it was admitted that driving snow-storms and sub-freezing temperatures were hampering their operations. A communique issued from Hitler’s field headquarters said German planes rained bombs on Moscow yesterday and last night and claimed that in mopping up operations south of Bryansk the Germans captured. 5000 prisoners, 56 guns and a heavy tank. Supplementing the High Command’s communique the official news agency said that on the northern front in Russia German troops repulsed with heavy losses several Russian attempts to cross the Neva River at Leningrad yesterday. The agency claimed that attempts by the Russians to make sorties beyond their Leningrad fortifications were repulsed.

The teachers of Indiana should be furnsihed the means to expand the “contemporary information” of their pupils in‘ line with the “wide changes” in education resulting from world conditions and .the defense program, Dr. Charles H. Judd, eminent : psychologist, said here today. He urged the County Superintendents Association to appoint a committee to see that children of the State are supplied with material on such subjects as social security, insurance and population trends. In an interview, Dr, Judd, who is author of many books on psychology and education, said the war and the defense program will result in a “weakening” of classical subjects and will bring a new emphasis on social subjects and vocational training. ! Economics, sociology and political science will become increasingly important, while C'reek, Latin and Roman history will be relegated to a more minor role, he said. The present emphasis on voca-

Toy Gun Bandit Draws 10 Years

SOUTH BEND, Oct. 22 (U. P.). —Archie ‘Moore, 28, who staged a $2 holdup with a toy “Hi-Ho Silver” pistol and fled with his loot straight into the arms of a policeman, today faced a 10-year prison sentence. Judge Dan Pyle imposed the penalty after noting six previdus arrests on Moore's record.

"The market’s operations, which constitute one of the greatest threats to Britain's wartime rationing system and has been only partly offset by lend-lease food now. arriving from America. ‘It deals in food, clothing, whisky, wines—almost any commodity for which there are customers who want more than the regular channels provide. According to official figures, every person in Britain should receive two eggs during October. But any American can have an egg with bacon every morning provided he pays about $1.90 for breakfast. The Ministry of Food admits it is a serious problem. It would like to see offenders given severe prison sentences instead of fines. “What good does it do to fine an offender 100 pounds if he has, profited 150 by the offense,” one official said.

The Ministry has tightened up bution, licensed wholesalers and put out inspectors, but the set-up still has plenty of loopholes, which the Ministry is attempting to plug up. Only a few foods actually are rationed. They include meat, bacon, butter, lard, margarine, cooking fats, preserves, tea, sugar and cheese. Legally they can be purchased only with ration books.

Milk is distributed under a separate plan under which expectant mothers and children under six are. guaranteed a pint a day, children between six and 18 a halfpint, and invalids in hospitals an “adequate” amount. All other foods are “rationed” only by supply shortages—that is, as far as the working class Briton is concerned. A well-to-do Londoner said: “My family never uses a ration card. We don’t need to because we can get anything we want without it and as much as we want’— thanks to the Black Market. To the Briton who can’t afford to trade on the Black Market, the biggest help has. been American food which now is reaching Britain
