‘by fighter plane standards. Fortresses Prove Worth
The Boeing flying fortress has been a great center of controversy. But most of these controversies are being exploded by actual performance under fighting conditions. Some of the criticisms of the fortresses were valid enough, but were directed at earlier models. The Boeing four-motored bomber; popularly called the flying fortress is now up—on the officially released list—to the designation B-1TE. That means the current model is the fifth improved fortress to take the air. Whether there are Requirements. models beyond the B-1TE series, the army will not say.

It carries power-op-erated. gun turrets above and below the fuselage, and a stinger turret in the tail and is regarded by the army as capable of meeting an attack from any angle. The fortress has a speed well in excess of 300 miles an hour, considerably slower than top-notch fighters, but fast enough to give it get-away class. The combination of defensive armament, speed and sharp-shoot-ing bombing ability from altitudes of 20,000 and :above, have forced even the bitterest critics to admit the fortress has no peer as a daylight bomber, The U. S. planes which the experts are most anxious to see tested in this war zone are the Lockheed P-38, called the Lighting by the British, and the Republic P P-47, the Thunderbolt. The Lockheed is a Ilow-wing fighter powered with two 1150horsepower Allison engines and rated by the U. 8. army as “the fastest military airplane in the world.” It was designed particularly as a high altitude, long-range escort for fortresses. This is the plane which went from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast in seven hours, 28 utes and 25 seconds. That was set three years ago and it is reasonable to suppose that the models being builf today are ‘capable of even bet. ter performance. The P-47, or more properly the P-4TB, is generally regarded as the

four months to earn it. Scouts Fool Superiors
But the scouts fooled them, and already there are 11 majors.’ And so the committee is meeting to set up requirements for the scouts to earn the ranks of colonel, and one, two, three and four-star general. Nine of the 11 majors are from troop 83, sponsored by the Haywood Barcus post of the American Legion. The majors are Camillus Bondy, Riley Chilton, William Hastings, * Sam Johnson, James Pappas, Efthemus Pappas, Leonard Riley, Joseph Saba and Eugene Smith. In troop 72, two members who have earned the rank of major are Richard Epteen and David Pierson. . Meanwhile, Indiana led three midwestern _states—Illinois, Wisconsin and fowa—in the shipment during September of scrap metal} _ and rubber from industrial sources, WPB officials announced today. On the home front, Blodgett E. Brennan, county salvage director, announced that thousands of adults and school children have accumulated a total of 1420 tons of scrap metal. That is equivalent to 7.1 pounds for each: resident—only half of the amount estimated: available, Mr. Brennan said.

Treat Epidemic Victims by Radio
VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 9 (U. P.). — The sick—who included practically the entire population —of Telegraph Creek, a backwoods community without physicians or nurses, were being treated by radio today. An epidemic of a virulent disease had glready killed eight In_dians and half breeds, but medi-
cal advice radioed from Hazelton,
250 miles south of the stricken community, had proven effective, especially among the young victims. W. 8. Leake, government radio telegraph operator in Telegraph Creek, first reported the epidemic yesterday, and appealed to Prince Rupert, nurses.
None was available at Prince
Rupert, but the provincial govern-’
ment was expected to send a
. physician as soon as possible.
