FRENCH PLANTS
/. FAILED TO WORK
American Experts Blame
Politics, Strikes For
Downfall
By WILLIAM j. HUMPHREYS

BILBAO, Spain, July 5.-UR-
American technical consultants who
came to Spain from France said to-
day Frances supreme defense effort
after the start of war was in airplane
manufacturers-''and this failed mis-
erably."
A half dozen consultants and en-
gineering experts h e + e awaiting
transportation back to the United
States attributed that failure to "of-
ficiaA INDIGESTION and government in
efficiency due to politics"
They described French factories as
some of the worlds best equipped, +"
and commented that under German
supervision they might be geared up
to turn out a many as 1850 air.
plane engines a month for the Nazi
air force.
The Americans said one large fac
tory in southern France was ready
in January to start turning out $50
engines a month but never produced
n because of constantly changing
specifications.
Another modern plant near Paris,
the engineers reported, vas ready
to start production Of a French-type
engine in January, had American
tools installed for the manufacture,
and then failed to produce because
the government decided to make
English type motors which required
other tools.
Widespread strikes were described
as a factor in retarding the produc-
ton of vital war materials.
Mobilization of foremen and key
workmen for the army also was
blamed for interfering with produc-
ton.
The Americans estimated the best
production record the French fac
tories set during the fighting was
$50 airplane engines a month, and
500 of these came from old, estab-
lished plants, not the new ones built
for the war rush job.

DEMOS PREPARE
FOR CONVENTION
F. D. R. Or Hull Will Be
Nominated, They Be-
lieve, July IS
BY D. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON, July 5-R-With
the presidential election exactly
four months off, Democratic lead
ers were hustling preparations to-
day for their party's July IS con-
vention amid increasing indica-
tons that President Roosevelt
would break tradition and accept
a third term draft"
Republicans, too, were thinking
Of casting an old custom aside
as their 1910 standard bearer, Wen
dell l.. Willkie, considered plans
in New York for a three-man STRAIT
egy board in lieu Of a single CAM
paign director.
Willkie will come here Monday
to discuss campaign plans with
his running mate, Senator Charles
L. McNary of Oregon.
Talk of a democratic ticket head
ed by President Roosevelt d
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
continued to overshadow specula-
ton by a few party members that
the chief executive might turn
down the nomination at the last
minute.
High officials based their pre-
diction of a Roosevelt acceptance
party on the assumption that an
eleventh-hour declination might
turn the convention into confusion
from which it might be difficult to
recover in the ensuing campaign.
Others mentioned besides Hull
as a Roosevelt running mate in
clude Senator Byrnes of South
lCarolina, Supreme Court Justice
douglas of Connecticut and Wash
ington state, Vice President Gar
ner, Senator Lucas of Illinois, Paul
v. McNutt of Indiana, federal Sc
curity administrator. Speaker
Bankhead of Alabama, and House
Leader Rayburn of Texas.
Should the President decide not
to seek a third term, leaders ri
fairly well agreed he will endorse

vice presidential nomination to-
ward a far western man to Offset

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
T. M. - SIS it advisable for one
who has chronic asthma to be near
animals?"
Answer - Chronic asthma can
be caused by animal dandruff, the
commonest form being sensitive
ness to horse dander; rabbits, cats
and dogs come next, and birds
may be the guilty parties. A person
with chronic asthma should have
a determination made with a patch
test to see if the asthma is due to
sensitiveness to a particular ami
NAL dander.

Medical Care
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

y
Every time I publish a list of
diets for overweight, which I so
about n c a year, I get "a long
list of complaints, the burden of
which is you're talking about the
overweights. Why don't you do
something for us underweights,
those of us who are thin and can't
seem to fatten up?"
There are really almost as many
of them as there are of the over
weights, although they are not so
conspicuous, SO I am going to pub
lish some advice and a list of
diets for underweights during the
next few weeks.
One thing the underWeight pa
tient does not seem to realize is
that it takes just as much work
and se1f-denail to gain weight as
it does to lose it. The overweight
patient knows that it is going to
be hard on him and is prepared to
make some sacrifices, but the I'm
derWeight patient seems to think
that he can take some vitamin
tablets or some other mysterious
kind of magic and he will begin to
gain weight automatically. This is
not true. He has to work for his
advantages.
Do You Eat Enough?
AS in the case of the overweight
patient, there are two distinct
kinds of underweights. In the
smaller group are those who have
| some organic or physiological
u for their underweight. These
may be hidden or difficult of as
sessment. Of course the conspicu-
! GUS one is tuberculosis. Cases Of
diabetes may go unrecognized for
a long time and be a cause of I'm
derweight. Conditions Of the duct
less glands, such as Simmond's
Disease, and adrenal insufficiency,
may cause abnormal thinness;
| also certain conditions, or
asthenia.
In most instances, however, I'M
derweight is due to the fact that
the individual does not eat enough,
Just as overweight is largely due
to much eating. 1t is really
very simple. I have several doctor
friends who are interested in nu-
triton and several of them are
quite thin. With one accord they
say that their leanness is no mys-
terry; that the simply do not like
to eat and they look on me, and
people like me, with fine appetites,
with a kind of envy. They estimate
that they instinctively eat about
one-third as much as another per-
son of the same age and height.
Sample Diet
Three days a week, for a time,
we will publish in this column a
daily menu of a diet planned to
increase weight. They contain at
least $500 calories per diem. They
are balanced as to minerals, vita
minis, and roughage.
Breakfast: Cantaloupe; wheat
ena with cream; bread and butter;
! glass milk, 10 cream.
Mid-moring: Chocolate matted
milk.
Lunch: Steak sandwich; fresh
broccoli; baked tomatoes with
cheese; Italian bread with sweet
butter; black coffee.
Mid-afternoon: Glass of eggnog.
Dinner: Antipasto; roast beef;
Italian spaghetti; assorted fresh

There's quite a story going the

Thus, during a party, she could

not intended for her ears. One

the transmitter, let a couple of
friends in on the secret, and staged
a scandal session in the powder
