ENGINEERS GAN

Even Surprise Reporters At Demonstration of Landing Boats.

By DICK THORNBURG Times Special Writer FT. BELVOIR, Va., Feb. 3—Versatile is the word for the army engineers. An engineer who can’t do anything *he’s asked is no engineer. Here at Ft. Belvoir, where more than 30,000 men are training for the corps of engineers, they displayed their wares yesterday. “The most spectacular demonstration was put on with a fine sense of the dramatic. The engineers kept hidden from the visiting newspapermen a group of three steel “storm” landing boats. At the drop of an officer's arm the three boats swept around a dock and into a cove, motors roaring, prows high out of the water, small ice crackling. In each boat were two engineers and five war-equipped assault troopers. Without slackening their 25 miles per hour the boats roared up on a beach, and the troopers leaped out and took cover in wooded hilldes. The boats were powered with 50horsepower outboard motors. Across another side of the cove, the engineers had built in two hours a 10-ton bridge, about 100 feet long, floated on 25-foot-long ‘pneumatic

pontoons.

Show Map-Making

Deflated, these fold into canvas bags about. four feet square and three 1eet high. A mobile air compressor - inflates them in six minutes apiece. To show the carrying power of the bride the engineers rolléd across it a series of vehicles led by the six-wheeled, four-ton truck which they call a Prime mover. » * Also displayed on the dock was water-purification - equipment—portable units which can take any surface water and purify 10 gallons a minute, and large mobile units which yield 60 gallons a minute. A complicated and mysterious device for map-making, called a multiplex machine, was demonstrated. Usihg aerial photos, multiplex operators can make maps showing all surface - details, roads, buildings, etc, plus complete contour details so that the maps have, in effect, depth. The height of buildings can be shown, accurate within five feet, which is detailed - enough for artillery fire—and that’s the ultimate in detail for war maps. Planes taking the photograph operate as Tigh as 20,000 feet.

It's a Double-cross! -

Mobile units for turning out: 5000 maps an hour in the field are part of the engineers’ equipment. Camouflage units study and prepare battlefield and industrial camouflage. Field camouflage has progressed to the point 'where the engineers do a real job on an airport and then a “poor” job on nearby territory to make it look like a camouflaged airport, so as to draw enemy bombs to the phony. Wooden models of large guns'and airplanes are prepared. Close up they don’t

lodk realistic, but an officer exSwell that -“they photograph Wi 11.2

At their electrical building, the engineers demonstrated a‘ mine detector. This is .a portable device which, when moved over ground where metal is: hidden, gives off a high “ping” sound. Mines several

feet. underground can be detected

with it.

BIG POWER DAN

Quebec Project Is Larger Than. Boulder in U.. Si; Costs $69,700,000.

ARVIDA, Que. Feb 3 (U. P).— Canada is building the world’s

largest power system—even greater

than ‘the United States’ Boulder dam—at Shipsaw, Que., on the upper Saguenay river, it was revealed today after ‘two years of official secrecy imposed for reasons of security. * Ten thousand men have “worked two years building this mass of steel and concrete for the Aluminum Co. of Canada at a cost of $69,700,000. Producing ' more than 2,000,000 horsepower ‘by next November, it will provide the united nations with vast quantities of aluminum, The thousands who toiled and still work with giant steam shovels, cranes, - tractors, locomotives and with bare hands, re-directed the Saguenay river through a canal big enough to float an ocean liner, built ‘a huge storage dam 135 miles

powerhouse. They contended with bitter cold

labor, lack of materials, the need for speed, accidents'and the hazards of hasty work. 60 Lives Lost Rock froze to dump cars and had to be hacked out, while ice in the bed of the plateau was attacked with drilling machines. Men who worked at night under searchlights could stay out in the cold for only two or three hours at a stretch, thus doubling the amount of labor required. Sixty lives were lost on the job, 16 of them when fire raged through the camp site. ‘Small cities: mushroomed up around Shipsaw—thousands of men, women. and children whose lives were linked to the great project. To recruit their labor, company officials went from one end of the dominion to another. Ready in November When the huge hydro-electric} units begin next November to pour ‘out 2,040,000. horsepower—as against | st Boulder dam’s. 1,835,000—the. output will be carried over 12 transmission lines of 154,000 volts each to .Ar--vida’s aluminum plant, which is 12 city blocks in length and half again as wide, : The Shipsaw will be finished well ahead of schedule—by November of this year instead of the end. of 1944. Credit for this i§ given in Canada

‘DuBose, who came here from North Carolina 17 years ago and is now power chief of the aluminum company.

em bly Line ‘Push’ In December. WASHINGTON. Feb. 3 (U. PY— War Production ‘Board Chairman

the ‘nation for news that the arma-

will not be as good as in December,

over production in November. : He revealed in the séventh of a series of monthly reports craft production in December was up 20 per cent; ground ordnance, 25 per cent; navy and army vessels, one per cent; merchant ships nine per cent,’ and miscellaneous munitions, 11 percent. ~~ “That record, he said, was partly

clear up odds and ends in many shops. Assembly lines, in some in-

to produce as many units as possinle during the month.

January Output Hurt

As a result, he said, January production in some areas has been affected adversely. And, he warned, each increase in monthly production from now on will be “harder to obtain.’ ; But he reaffirmed the govern77 | ment’s determination .to maintain an average monthly rate of production in 1943 of about 50 per cent higher than the average for the last three months of 1942. Nelson said an “unusual effort” to] push up December production was| made particularly in aircraft manufacture, and reported that the total number of airplanes delivered to the army, navy and American allies during that month was 5489. That did not include the several hundred planes which were accepted by the services and went into a “pool” consisting of planes delivered to: procurement officers at the plants, but not flown away because of the lack of parts or because of weather. He did not give all the reasons for the December push, but other officials attributed it in part to the desire of the services to establish a record for 1942—and they did.

Engines Exceed Planes

Complete figures for the year in various categories were givenl to congress by President Roosevelt: 48,000 planes; 56,000 combat veHhicles; 670,000 machine guns; 21,000 anti - tank guns; -10,250,000,000 rounds of small’ arms ammunition; 181,000,000 rounds of artillery ammunition. Nelson noted weak spots in the production picture—the output of aircraft engines is exceeding plane production and at some points storage has become a problem; aluminum and alloy forgings continue to be a bottleneck; inadequate procurement of airplane component and accessories continues. War SEpenditures totaled $52,406,000,000 in 1942, an increase of | 277 per cent over 1941. War spending totaled $6,125,000,000 in December, an ‘increase of $13,000,000 over November.

EATON FIGHTS FOR RAIL BONDS

Revives Competitive Bid Issue in Erie Co. Offering.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 3 (U. P).— Cyrus 8S. Eaton of Otis & Co., today asked the interstate commerce commission to require the Erie railroad to call for bids on $14,000,000 preferred three and: a half per cent first mortgage bonds which the railroad has offered for sale. Eaton, reviving the question of competitive bidding for railroad securities, sent a telegram-to Claude R. Porter, finance chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corp., stating that Otis & Co., Halsey, Stuart

Eaton asked the ICC to order competitive bidding on the issue “before the conventional excuse is made that a private sale has already been coneluded and that competition, therefore, is not practicable.” It was understood here that Erie has been negotiating with Morgan, Stanley & Co., for sale of the new issue, although officials of the road have not disclosed the name of the banking group. J. K. Thompson, Erie financial vice president, wds in New York City today to discuss the financing program with bankers there and an announcement of the railroad’s de- | cision was expected later today.
