Connecticut Yankees
 Built Nazi's Motors
Engines in Germany's Transatlantic Planes Made in
 State; Experts Predict Bankruptcy for Dictators

driven by two engines made by Con- necticut Yankees, up in Hartford Connecticut-Pratt & Whitney en- zines they were. And why?
 Because the Germans are mak- ing no engines to cross the ocean And they have no intention of mak- ing any for some years. Neither have the French. Nor the Italians '' The article goes on to explain the reason for this.
 'The military experts guiding the destinies of Germany, France and Italy understand that, when the next war breaks out, each nation must have the largest possible num- Der of fighting planes designed spe- cially to operate within radius of 500 miles, or whereabouts. They dare not waste a dollar nor the space on a factory floor making anything except what is most urgently needed during the first month of war. For they expect to settle the war in a jiffy. When one country plays that game, all must.
 Study Plans
 American experts have read the government specifications for the new German, French and Italian planes. One item stands forth. En- zines are to be built for about Is hours of service = liberal allow ance for 8 plane that must fly from Berlin to Paris and back in one great battle. Or from Berlin to London. Or from Berlin to Moscow.
 "All this makes sense. Of course, the first stages of the next war will center within the triangle, Essen Paris-London. Planes must be built to accomplish the most within that area. That's all."
 And how do these air ships com- pare with those being built in Amer ica? Ken answers enthusiastically.
 "We may sleep peacefully, so far as this present armada is concerned. For our fleet is built to other speci- flcations. Instead of requiring en- zines that will last Is hours, our government experts demand engines that will run perfectly for 5O,O0O hours!
 Worn Out Machines
 "Air experts know that Hitler and Mussolini will go broke building planes to train flyers. When 1t comes to the fall of 1940. their fleets will be pretty well worn out. And the engines that are not worn out will be hopelessly out of date. Am erica will have leaped 50 years ahead of them. And in aviation practice her planes will be 20 years ahead of Germany"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-11

Within 20 months, almost every German plane now in service will be either 8 flying dodo or else worn out! That is what the exper.s are saying, according to an article in the current issue of the new Ken weekly magazine.
 And who are the experts?" asks Ken. "They are the chief engineers, the designers, and the metallurgists who live, eat, sleep and dream air. planes. They visit airplane factories in foreign lands. They swap notes with scientists and engineers in those countries. They read blue prints as we read comic strips. And they see the news behind the news. "
 But this does not mean that the Germans cannot design good planes and motors. Not at all. It means something that our congressman ought to know and ponder well. Here, for the first time, in the pulp lie print, is the explanation of a mystery.
 Yankees Genius
 Remember that big battle plane which the Germans sent from Ber- lin to New York on publicity cruise few months ago? That ship was a beauty. And it crossed the ocean twice without hitch. Well, that mighty threat to America was

Finishing touches are now be- ing applied to the municipal golf course on East Mountain and to athletic fields in city parks, Superintendent of Parks James J. Curtin said today.
