the plants are idle about three
hours out of "a of each regular
working day. Many of the plants
however, are on a five-day week
basis, closing down Saturdays and
Sundays.
This means that out of a 168-
hour possible maximum each week
these plants are operating 103 hours
and are idle 63 hours each week.
Some of the plants are on q basis
of two shifts a day, but, on the
other hand, some are working a
five and one-half or six day week,
which tends to keep the average
for these plants somewhere near
the 63-hour level for the week. II
the plants are averaging So hours
a week they are working only 81
per cent, or less than two-thirds OF
the total available time.
Estimates Vary.
No one in the industry or the
Federal Government could be found
who had anything like an accurate
estimate OF the percentage Of time
actually worked by the aircraft in
dustry. Some ventured the opinion
that the total would be about rs
per cent, which would be 1l6 hours
a week, for the industry as whole.
Almost none went higher.
According to the best estimates,
the aircraft industry, therefore, is
putting in something between 81
and rs per cent of the total avail
able time each week in actually
manufacturing warplanes, and the
existing plant facilities are idle
from one-fourth to one-third Of

Pan American Director Gets Philotelic Honor

nR. LEO STANTON ROWE, di-

Rowe's portrait appears in the oval at left on the Nicaraguan stamp above, commemorating the 50th anniver- sary of the founding of the Union. The design also includes the Statue of Liberty and massed flags of 2l republics against a background of Nicaragua's coastline.
 Other living Americans whose portraits are found on foreign postage issues are: President Roosevelt, on stamps of Brazil, Guatemala, and Turkey; Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Turkey; and Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, Spain.
 Dr. Rowe was born at McGregor, Iowa, educated in the midwest and at Philadelphia. During the World War he was assistant secretary of the treasury, later became chief of the division of Latin American af- fairs in the State Department. Since September, 1920, he has headed the Pan American Union.

 He knew no particular fear. A conceited man seldom does, be- cause conceit is but exaggerated confidence. Anyway, it was more pleasant to mediate on which of two lovely girls he should choose for permanent companioship. It simply did not occur to him that the Mexican senorita might not care for him.
 He purchased a sporty new car during the next hour, and with proper directions drove out few miles to the expensive Rancho del Sol. There, as business man from New York, he could be a typical dude guest, loafing the autumn weeks away. It would give him adequate front.
 He tried to telephone Ronica and learned that she was not on her fathers ranch. He tried the college, with no better results. It occurred to him then that she would be somewhere on the cam pus and so he drove back there.
