meeting next week is taken In auto
motive circles here as meaning that
the Government has accepted the
industry's offer to enlist its stamp
ing presses, dies and machinery in
the effort to get into volume output
of airplane body parts in the short
est possible time.
AS the plan was interpreted here,
the production of completed planes
in automobile plants is not contem-
plated, but rather the making of
standardized parts that can be
shipped in an ever-growing stream
to established aviation plants
throughout the United States.
A curtailment of automobile and
truck output may not be required
under the plan, one source close to
motor industry and the Defense Ad-
vistory Commission indicated today,
if the airplane work is widely dis
tributed. Motor vehicle production
currently is in excess of 100000 units
week and the airplane procure
ment program for next year, this
source asserted, is counted in the
tens of thousands.

Men In Orange Break Through
A. And T. Aggie Defense, 7 To 0
By J. ARCHIE HARGRAVES

GREENSBORO, N. C.-(SNS)-
A mighty "blitzkieg' was launched
by the Florida Rattlers early in
the fourth quarter to break through
valiant A. and T. Aggie defense, 10
at Memorial stadium last Saturday
night in the first major battle along
the Negro intersectional front. 1t
was estimated 10000 fans saw the
struggle.
Florida began its bitten warfare
suddenly. Starting on the Aggle 4O
yard stripe, its offensive began
a sustained march down field al
ternating ground operations with
an aerial attack. Slowed momen-
tarily on the Aggie 8, Macon Will
liams hit off tackle for the touch
down. Glymph converted for the
extra point.
MIGHTY DEFENSES
The game was hard fought thru
out with both teams setting UP
powerful defenses against all types
Of scoring thrusts. The invaders LED
in all departments of play garner
| ing Is first downs to the Aggies Z
and gaining 161 yards to the Ag-
gies IA. Both the much talked about
A. and T. running and serial at
tacks were beated by the invaders
who gained 80 yards to the AggieS'
30 through the ozone. Only the
Aggie forward wall and the punting'
department held its own with Sam
Bruce, the A. and T. punter, out
doing the average kicking yardage
of Glymph who held down the RAT
tier assignment.
On the Aggie line, it was Ed

| the Florida thrusts literally living
in the opposition backfield.
BIG BACKS STAR
Macon Williams Oswald Glympn,
and Edward Oglesby paced the Rat
| tier attack while waltz, Whlte,
Moore and Bruce were outstanding
offensive threats for the Aggles.
Only one attack OF consequence
was launched in the first and Sec
ond periods. Florida made effective
use of passes to get within the Ag-
Gle 12 but Fats Wilson broke thru
