Walter Reuther is the United . Auto Workers executive who
 thought up the 5OO- -pianes-a-day
 plan.
 parts are united in sub-assemblies. It is a careful study in timing and precision which results in a smooth final assembly. This same precision must be applied to the mass production of airplanes. ALLISON ENGINE
 ILLUSTRATES PROBLEM
 As proof of the. time required to shift into work of this sort consider the General Motors experiments with the Allison engine. This pro- gram was started more than eight years ago. It has been pressed by GM with vigor and economy.
 It was aimed at meeting the needs of later day aviation on a profitable basis to the corporation
 Yet GM has poured millions of dollars into its preliminary re- search and experimentation and is now employing over 10000 men in the Allison plant in Indianapolis and the Cadillac plant here in De- troit. Even so, production of these engines has hardly got beyond the trickle stage.

While this cannot be denied, the
 union argument is that the over
 time won't be necessary if idle
 plant facilities and labor reserves
 are fully used.
 And there the argument hangs today.
 EQUIPMENT NOT
 SUITABLE FOR PLANES
 From the engineering and pro- duction mans point of view, the weakness of the Reuther plan for using scattered idle machines is that production equipment in auto motive plants is not suitable for aviation work and probably not more than 10 per cent of such equip ment could be used for that pur- pose.
 Planes that will operate hours on end, will turn up speeds of bet ter than 400 miles an hour in a pinch and withstand the terrific strains of combat acrobatics, can- not be makeshift jobs. They must be of precision construction of the highest order.
 In addition, to attain mass pro- duction these planes must be of standardized design. AS far as possible, this should be carried through to the point of inter- changeability of parts to facili- tate service in the field. This re- quires special materials special ized equipment for manufacture and expert workmanship in as- sembly. To obtain all three re- quires time, and any makeshift will unquestionably result in dis appointment in final results if the policy suggested by the union is adopted.

he must have looked like Billy Daniels with a full beard.

That exhibition tour of Adoni- jah reminds us of the old days at the Wolcott Fair, when the biggest attraction was Dodo, The Wildman. (Maybe you saw him, tool. Well, DOdO was just Mill Plain school kid trying to earn a dime. He agreed to be blacked-up, pOked with pitchfOrks, fed raw meat, all for the price of a sling shot. DOdo growled and snarled through the long, hot day. Charley Futile, John Todd, Frank White, and lot of other simple souls paid their dime and gasped in astohishment at the ugly crea. ture in the pit behind iron bars. Came evening and the yokels went home to do the chores. DodO's employers invited him up from the pit and suggested that he might like to go down to the river to wash up. The boy went, and when he returned, the ex- hSoitor and his wife had damned with the cash.
 The world won't be quite the same for Nate Evarts because Eddie Guerin, premier crook of the horse and buggy era, is dead. Guerin cashed-in at a British hospital and that's enough pun iShment for any man. He was 80 years old, and most of that time he spent trying to prove that the hand is quicker than the eye. Eddie ran shell games, picked pockets, tapped tills, blew safes and finally made his escape from Devils Island. Nate always read about Guerin's escapades with especial interest because the crook was nicknamed "The Fox, and Nate knows al- most everything there is to know about foxes.
 Crime don't pay!" Nate yelled as he told us the story. "Guerin once inherited $67,0OO, but he died busted, no better off than one of these SOuthbury farmers that's made milk all his life"
 Lloyd Fowler found stray dog the other day and spent several hours touring Newtown trying to locate it's owner.
 Judge Hicock asked us the other day how long we'd been writing under the name of Charley Bradley. It seems that the Bridgeport Herald carried an article about the Judge Signed by Charley Bradley. For the record, we didn't write that story and the only Charley Bradley we ever heard of was a kindly old gentle man who used to live down near the bridge. The Charley Bradley we know wouldn't have written any article for the Herald about any small-tOwn scandal, but he might have hung his head in shame. Charley was CAvic-minded.
 The latest excitement in South bury was caused by couple of cooks from the defective hospital who aired their dissatisfaction with the State wages over a few mugs of Southbury Creamy Ale. We understand that the boys have decided to seek employment else- where.
 Complaints are circulated around the village that our vault at the Town Hall is too small to hold all the town records.

Earthquakes have the Aunt Nellies so jittery that many of them refuse to stop and gossip until they are sure there are no nearby chimney to fall on them. The local dope is that what we have felt are just preliminary shocks. We are supposed to get a genuine old rattler later.

Paul Satko family was getting along

The Ark, with its 1926 automo-
bile engine purring comparatively
smoothly, put in here yesterday,
bearing the entire family-Paul, an
unemployed Virginia welder: his
wife and their seven children, six
of whom were forbidden by a Seattle

Government Policies
Blamed for Capital Ills
By Brookings Study
Toxes, Regulation and
Spending Cited; Economic
Maturity Of U. S. Denied

The concept that the United
States has reached a stage Of "eco-
nomic maturity" necessitating ex-
tensive supplementing of private by
public enterprise was contradicted
today in a report by the Brookings
Institution Of two-year investiga-
ton Of the factors responsible for
stagnation of the capital markets.
The study was directed by DR..
Harold G. Moulton, president of the
institution. Associated with him
were DR.. George w. Edwards, of the
College of the City of New York:
DR.. James D. Magee of New York
University, and DR.. Cleona Lewis of
the institutions staff.
The study, dealing with capital
expansion in relation to employment
and economic stability. found that
possibilities of further development
of private enterprise are adequate to
absorb the Nations capital and la
Dor resources for years to come.
No Decline Before 1929.
In appraising the argument that
the country has reached economic
maturity" the report points out that
production data showed no declining
tendency prior to 1929 although the
frontier had disappeared a genera
tion earlier and the rate of popula-
tion increase had been declining for
half century The decline in pro-
duction since 1929. the report main
tains, proves merely that there has
been a protracted depression"
"Stagnation of capital" the report
continued, could not be attributed
to lack of money or to policies of
commercial banks"
Although money savings are
much smaller than in the late 20s,
they are greatly in excess of current
market demands. Commercial banks,
far from pursuing restrictive credit
policies, have made unusual effort to
expand credit and their failure to do
SO arises from the lack of demand
from credit-worthy enterprises"
The survey states that re-estab-

lishment of stable" conditions
largely depends on the removal of
unnecessary impediments to the flow
of funds into constructive capital de-
velopments and the restoration Of
confidence in the future of private
enterprise.
Government policies have impeded
the flow of capital into constructive
developments in several ways, the
report stated. These are: Taxation
policies have tended to drive inves-
tors to high grade securities; regu-
lation has raised the costs and in
creased risks of capital flotations;
the persistence of huge deficit spend
ing has undermined confidence In
public credit, and the development

Satko laid the keel Of the uncon-
ventional Ark, towed 1t across coun-
try and completed the boat at
Tacoma. He started for Alasla last
April 81, intending to file a claim
on homestead at Cook Inlet.
Putting into Seattle for repairs,
Satko came under the surveillance
of the court, which declared the
Ark unseaworthy and prohibited
the minor children from continuing
the trip until structural changes
were made. Mrs. Satko and the
minor children proceeded from
