President Asked To Stop Discrimination In Plane
Factories To Aid u. S. Defense Measures
Stop Frank Burns
By j. b. C.

Whenever a popular man elects
to enter the political field, the OPP
position grows panicy and yells,
"Stop him, kill him" without any
regard to his virtues or his vices.
And now Frank Burns must face
the firing squad, because he dares
cast wistful eye toward the exc
cutive mansion in Olympia. If
Frank Burns makes up his mind
to be governor of the State of
Washington, he will certainly be a
pain in the neck to others who
entertain the same hope. Burns Is
popular. His personality, candor
and sincerity will surely make him
formidable opponent.
Was Legislator
Burns made his entry into poll
tics in 1888 as one of the few Re-
publican members of the state le-
gislature. He says, 1.-THE only rea-
son ever got into it at all was
that felt that no business man
had right to cry about the way
the politicians were handling state
affairs if he wasn't willing to de-
vote some of his own time toward
correcting the situation. ran and
Won"
There is more to the story than
that. Once in the political picture
Burns set out with characteristic
vigor to do something and he has
been at it ever since. His vote-get-
ting appeal is evinced by the fact
that he has twice been elected G..
O.. P. national committeeman, the
second time in 1886 by a unani-
nous vote.
Acts Like Friend
AS potential candidate for gov
ernor Frank Burns looks like a
governor, thinks like a governor,
but acts like man that you would
like to have as a friend. He has a
sense of humor which just wont
permit him to become high hat or
stuffed shirt. His Scotch ancestry
has given him an Unborn hatred of
waste and extravaganza.
Though he is an Episcopalian, a
Mason and a member of this and
that organization, he doesn't hesi-
tate to put on a stag shirt and at

Plan White River
Blast for July 4

A Fourth of July explosion that
will send the first White river
waters surging through the 20
foot bypass tunnel at Mud Noun
tain dam was forecast Saturday
by u. s. army engineers in charge
of the construction Of the $6,oOo,-
900 flood control project six miles
southeast of Enumclaw.
The engineers said yesterday
concrete work in the bypass tun-
mel was about 70 per cent COM
pleted and expected the lining to
be finished around July l.
After the concrete lining Is COM
pleted and forms are pulled. water
will roar through the 2,00O-foot
tunnel when the coffer-dam pro-
tecting at present the upper tunnel
entrance is blasted away.
II construction continues at its
present pace, date for the big
blast" will be near July 4, and
army engineers will. If possible,
hold the explosion on indie
pendence Day.
Work on the coffer-dam that
will force the White river through
the tunnel will begin about two
weeks prior to the expected date
for the blast.
Other construction work at the
big dam, which will provide flood
protection for Puyallup valley
farms and the Tacoma industrial
tideflats, continued on schedule.

but they don't go far enough. We
know we are far from being alone
in this opinion, as per the letters
and conversations we have.
And the answer to the problem
isn't so simple as the vague "oh
we'll, somebody will have to build
and operate another private moor
age"
In the first place there Is the
matter of good water and land
available to private interests for
that purpose. Anybody who has
taken the trouble TO do more than
sit back and guess, can tell you
there just aren't any more such

Park Board
Pays Its Bill

Park board cash warrants for
5.e3s.e0 were snug in the city
treasury Saturday in full payment
Of all delinquent water bills.
Holding up OF the warrants by
the park board resulted from a
long feud with the Davisson admin
istration over the rate the city
parks have to pay for city water
service. Settlement of differences
was one Of the last acts of the
outgoing commissioner. and last
DEFENDERS warrant for around SIS
was accepted as part payment
to insure resumption of water serv-
ice at parks and Fairgrounds that
had been without water service for
months.
One of the warrants acknowl-
edged Saturday was for S5.57S.34
covering the old accounts from
May to November, 1899, inclusive.
1t was dated Dec. Is and had been
held up at the park office since
that date. Other warrants were
for monthly bills including the
May, 1910, warrant for $104.s9 for
April, 1910 service. The May &C
count is just now being billed.

Should he be shot down, they

They are the buck privates OF
the air-the squadron leader is the
West-Point trained lieutenant.
And the Allied mistake was to
depart from the time honored
principles of warfare-a highly
trained officer leading competent
men-and to assume that, just
because the war was in the air,
every pilot must have the learn
ing and equipment of an army
captain.
If America wants a good air
force quick, she can get one by fol-
lowing the sound German model.
Good simple planes can be turned
out as fast as flivvers, and any
quick-thinking kid who can weave
a car in and out of city traffic
can quickly pick up all there is
to know about fighting in the air.

/ perhaps a ssil-loft and some sort
Of public shop-space, etc.
We believe the creation of
additional moorage space for
Tacoma pleasure craft IL n
public obligation.
Our thought is based upon sew
eral things.
Since ready-made yacht basins
are not to be found, one will have
to be created. Such an undertake
ing is too great for a private indi-
vidual.
OF course. II large group of
yacht owners were to pool their
resources and promote basin,
there you have second yacht club
which is unlikely by the nature
Of things.
We think that the numerous
yacht-owners of this locality are
every bit as much entitled TO con-
sideration as the fishermen; the
Port of Tacoma commission has
provided the latter group with a
fine moorage.
The WPA and similar govern
mental agencies have spent mil
lions Of dollars to create yacht
basins on the Atlantic seaboard,
Great Lakes and rivers through
out the country.
There is much more than enough
good land and good water available
for such use along our waterfront,
needing only breakwater to make
1t ideal for yacht basin.
And last but not by any
means least, a publicly-owned
yacht basin could be built and
operated to show net profit.
For instance, at San Francisco
there is presently a-building a pub
lie moorage which provides some
statistics:
Because of lack of decent water
and land, their problem of protec-
ton is infinitely greater than ours:
when complete, five units will cost
$395,000 to provide moorage for
500 boats.
Also, when complete, the project
will return to the city's park COM
a NET PROFIT of S24 900 |
Now we don't advocate anything
of such grand proportions we
call attention to the very
nice ratios involved. Tacoma could |
positively do as well, or better.
Yachting is your sport and mine,
and will continue to become more
so in the future for more and more
people; automobiling has lost its
attraction as a pastime, airplanes
will never hold much for we ordi-
nary guys. eve refuse to prognos-
ticate with regard to submarines,
bicycles, ox-carts, balloons, rick
shaws, locomotives, etc.
Today there are more than a
million and half yachts in the
United States. They are increasing
daily.
What are we Of Tacoma going
to do about it?

BY w. l. WHITE

NEW YORk-What with all the
whooping and hollering in the wind
about planes. I think l can con-
tribute something to the confusion
with what l have recently seen
of the German and Allied air
forces. plus some background prof
fered by skilled local wiseacres.
The Allies started seriously
building planes a little more than
year ago, after Hitler occupied
Czechoslovakia. They are i'm
mensely superior to the Germans
in raw materials and at least
equal to them in technicians.
The Germans also stepped up
their production, and we now find
Germany is turning out every
month three times the number of
planes England and France COM
bined are turning out.
Why?
Because the British and
French planes are greatly SUI
perior to the German planes,
the British and French avia-
tors are much more thor
oughly trained, and for this
very reason, rs you will pres
emily see, the British and
French may lose the war.
The instrument panel of Brit
ish plane has more gadgets than
the keyboard of movie cathedral
organ. 1t can fly blind, upside
down and backward, talk to the
ground-in fact, do everything but
cook, and the aviator who manages
all the dials, stops and whistles
must have the equivalent of
Phi. d. degree.
OF course, it is infinitely supe-
rior to the average German plane.
and of course it takes many weeks
to assemble this complicated in
strument panel, and many months
to train a flyer to operate it.
A few of the German planes are
equally good, and each of these is
flown by squadron leader, who
is the equal in training of the
British pilot.
But, each German squadron
leader takes the air followed
by Is or more very simple
planes piloted by agile kids
who are skilled only in the
rudiments of flying and fight
Ing, and II takes no longer to
learn these than 1t does to
drive a car. Their planes have
no instrument panels to speak
of-each one is hardly more
than body with a motor
bomb racks, and some ma
chine guns. and they can be
slapped together In hurry.
These kids can't navigate
and they don't need to. They
keep their eve on the SQUAD
