OWI BLUEPRINTS SURPLUS SALES

Claims Disposal of Excess Goods Won't Disrupt U. S. Economy.

"WASHINGTON, July 31 (U.P,).— Controlled sales and gradual contract cancellations will ease surplus war goods into civilian markets without disrupting the nation’s economy, fhe office of war information said today in disclosing that $400,000,000 in war goods already have been sold. OWI said a surplus war property administration blueprint will prevent the chaos of 1918 “when the entire war machine became surplus overnight.” Although there will be from $50,000,000,000 to $100x-

of the present war, it said these goods should make a sizeable contribution to production.

Aims to Prevent Monopolies The government aims to prevent

’ monopolies and speculation with

A large share of the surpluses will go to foreign countries for.rehabili{tation, OWI said, with about $15, {000,000,000 slated for domestic mar‘kets in the form of war housing,

and minerals and metals. It emphasized that finished goods will not include automobiles, radios, washing machines or several other scarce items. Industry now holds some $500.000,000 in surpluses with disposal] | proceeding at the rate of about $25,000,000 weekly. Heaviest sur. pluses were foreseen for the ship{ping and aircraft industries.

“centrifuge” machine which reproduces the effect of pull-outs on pilots through duplicating exactly the force of a plans. pulling out of a dive. . Resembling the two-arm merry--round dad used to construct for e kids, the centrifuge turns on a central pivot, It has a pilot's cock-

horsepower motor capable of whirling the centrifuge beams at terrific speed. Pilots Volunteer for Tests

The pilot is strapped into the cockpit and an ‘aero-medical laboratory technician occupies an 0bserver's position next to the pivot shaft of the centrifuge. A motion picture camera photographs the pilot, from over the observer's’ shoulder. Only pilot volunteers undergo the tests. When the centrifuge is started the pilot-cab on the end of the beam swings outward like a pail on a rope, putting the human guinea pig in a position parallel to the plane of the circle he describes, head toward the center. Thus the motion of a plane pulling out of a dive is exactly duplicated. Blackout in flight is caused by, stoppage of blood circulation in the] brain, the result of centrifugal force which multiplies the force of gravity, called “G.”

‘Blackout’ Cora = Sede Wwelght of any"

TH" Under centritligal forc hs fon 8 body is subject to a number op “G's.” An inside loop or pulling out of a dive adds “positive acceleration” or “plus G” to the body's gravity load. Blood pressure falls in the brain and rises in the lower extremities. The pilot sees “grey” and fhen blacks out, side loop, with “negative acceleration” or “minus G.” Blood is forced

A pilot can take more “plus G” than “minus G” and will usually black out at plus four or five G. His sight returns to normal almost immediately when thé force is removed, At higher levels consciousness is lost and it requires about 15 seconds for recovery, Maximum tolerance for minus G is about three.
