JOB CHAIRMAN ON ‘SIT-DOWN'

Emmelman Balks Against Coddling Democrat

Holdovers.

By SHERLEY UHL Already the center of a warm fac-! tional feud, the city administration) | patronage policy committee spawned an ‘“inter-family squabble” this week when Patronage Chairman Lee Emmelman went on a self-styled “sit-down” strike against “soft-soap-! ing” of Democratic holdovers. Although the Tyndall patronage committee is still functioning, its chief said he intended to remain out of the picture “until the adminis-! tration moves a little faster in its political house-cleaning.” City hall officials are hesitant to make anything like an estimate, but it appears that hundreds of holdover Democrats are still on the municipal payroll. Some of these constitute a natural political overlap which is bound to occur in any administration. Others are still drawing city salaries as a result of a war employment “squeeze” that's made the city the beggar and not the chooser in the matter of job distribution, Presence “Uncalled For”

SUBSIDY FOES MAP NEW PLAN

To Prevent Expansion

Of Program.

WASHINGTON, July 3 (U. PJ. —Senate foes of the administration's subsidy-rollback program, thwarted by a firm presidential veto in their efforts to kill it, today will try to limit it to the already announced rollback of meat, butter and coffee prices. President Roosevelt's major victory in congress—failure of his | opponents to muster enough votes to override the veto—may be temporary, but it appeared to have taken some of the steam cut of the recent congressional rebellion and out of the present fight to outlaw rollbacks through subsidies. Senator Robert A. Tait (R. O) said he was willing to accept President Roosevelt's offer to come promise—his invitation to congress to work with him “as a team.” But Taft will try today to prevent expansion of the subsidy program by authorizing expenditure of only $250,000,000 on it for the rest of this year. Aiken Opposed

“It's a question of authorizing the present program and providing

'a limitation or else laying our- | selves open to dozens of other sim- | ilar programs with almost no limit | on the amount of money the gov[ernment can spend on such a program,” he said. Senator George W. Aiken (R.

A wedding breakfast for the im-| mediate family followed at the Indianapolis Athletic club and a reteption was held for the couple at the home of the bridegroom's parents in the afternoon. After a short wedding trip the bride will return to Camp Atterbury where she is stationed as a lieutenant in the army nurse corps. Out-of-town guests included Mrs. John Gleason and Mr. and Mrs, Roger McMahon, Chicago: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McMahon, Anderson; Mr. and Mrs. Edwin McMahon, Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Edwin Arnold, Terre Haute.

Loss of Gas Card

HARTFORD, Conn, July 3 (U. P.) —The Rev. Fletcher D. Parker, stripped of his gasoline rations until Oct. 1 for driving 140 miles to his summer home victory gars den at Sunapee, N. H, in defiance of the OPA, awaited public reaction today before deciding whether to continue his crusade against the pleasure driving ben. OPA Hearing Commissioner J. Richard Steele, who suspended the b5-year-old Congregational minister's A and C rations for three months, refused to believe that the Rev. Parker made the trip solely for the purpose of cul tivating his garden, Steele said that while the pastor had been going to his summer place at Sunapee for the last 16 years, this was the first year he had a garden.

PREDICT BIGGER AIR TRANSPORT

Propeller, Landing Gear Improvements Also Being Developed.

By Science Service NEW YORK, July 3. — Fourwheeled planes with bigger, more efficient engines housed within the

wings are possible features of future air transports predicted by W. W. Davies, United Air lines research engineer, in a report to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Continued rapid development of all types of aircraft engines after the war should produce at least a horsepower for every pound of engine weight, due to betler design and improved materials. Engines will be much more powerful, Current research projects indicate that specific fuel consumption at normal cruising power may be cut by nearly a fourth. Fuel of higher octane is one means of lowering fuel consumption, thereby cutting dows the fuel load per trip.

War Experience Aid

War experience in the higher altitudes will undoubtedly make it possible to cruise satisfactorily as well above 20,000 feet, Mr, Davies declares, and yet keep fuel consumption to a reasonable figure. Diesel engines may well power a good percentage of future aircraft,

AERIAL REACH

Invasions of New Pacific Islands Bring Jap

Bases Nearer.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Australia, July 3 (U. P.) ~The allies considerably stretched their aerial reach into Japanese bases in the southwest Pacific with the seizure of Thobriand and Woodlark island groups, which bring principal enemy strong points well within range for heavy bombardment. Although there were no known air fields on either group before the war, new installations could be built to advance the allied bomb=line. For example, the government sta= tion at Losuia on Kirwina, prin cipal island in the Thobriands, is only 140 miles from Gasmata, 270 miles from Rabaul, 320 miles from Faisi and 260 miles from Lae. Woodlark island is only 300 miles south of Rabaul.

Low Coral Islands

The Trobriands, lying 60 miles north of the D'Entrecasteaux group, all are low coral islands, normally administered by the Australian governor of Papua. Kiriwina is 25 miles long and from two to eight miles wide. Losuia affords a huge anchorage for small boats, but the waters off shore are dangerous. The Tro= briands have no towns, the largest village being Kavatari, near the government station. Kiriwina has good dry, level (roads. There are no rivers or streams in the Trobriands except small tidal creeks which drain the swampy land on the east side of Kiriwina., Nor are there any moun= tains. The coral cliffs, however, rise {up to 100 feet. | Before the war, the Trobriands were inhabited by about 20 whites and some 8000 natives, mostly fish ermen. A few speak pidgin English.

Covered by Jungle

Woodlark island, also called Murua, is 44 miles long and five to 10 miles wide. It is covered by dense tropical jungles. Its hills rise as high as 1300 feet and gold mining is carried on in the interior, There are good anchorages on the south coast, the best being Guasopa and Suloga harbors, They are about seven miles apart and both have dangerous reefs.

but Mr. Davies believes that fuel consumption will not be as amazingly low as enthusiasts have claimed. Propeller efficiency will be pushed still higher and prop styles may look strange to old-time fliers,

of the possibilities. Need New Gears

Into the discard will go conventional landing gears, generally speaking. In their stead will come increased use of the tricycle gear, main wheels plus a nose wheel, and future developments may well see the use of four wheels, two each fore and aft on either side of the fuselage. Auxiliary high-lift devices coupled with improved wing design aid materially in maintaining desirable landing and maneuvering speeds. “Considerable effort has been expended in research toward the production of new wing designs and airfoils,” Mr. Davies states. “The wing itself is responsible for a major portion of the over-all drag of an airplane.” Reduction in wing area has further lowered the amount of drag. This gives higher wing loadings, often looked at askance because of questionable effects on take-off and landing performance and because of troublesome icing difficulties.
