During the World War production
of smokeless gunpoWder was a bill
lion pounds year After the new
plant is constructed by the Allies
in Tennessee, potential production
capacity will be about 25,O0O,OOO
pounds. About eight months is
needed to put plant in production.
Smokeless powder is hard to store
in reserves. since it deteriorates. The
powder provides the appellent to
shells. TINT, which provides the
bursting charge, is also needed. Very
little is manufactured in this coun-
try.
Also being studied by the COM
mission were methods to increase
shellloading capacity. The Army
has only one such plant, small
one operated at the Picatinny Ar
senal, N. J. There are no private
manufacturers and no educational
orders have been awarded by the
Army because of the technical diff
culties and expense involved in set
ting up loading plant. During
the World War the United States
took over 25 plants which had been
producing complete shells for the
Allies.

warplane production need only be
increased a little more than three
times, where a 400 per cent increase
is needed in smokeless powder pro-

New Liquid-Cooled
Engines May Solve
u. ). Plane Problem
Army and Navy
Expected to Adopt
'Poneoke' Type
BY ROBERT BRUSKIN.

Forthcoming adoption by the
Army and Navy of two new liquid
cooled aviation engines to relieve
the Nations most pressing defense
need was predicted today by an
excellently-informed Cover nment
source who declared the motors sent
to the United States last week by
England were worthless from a point
of view of quantity production.
The new engines are of the pan
cake type and could fit into a war
plane wing to permit even greater
streamlining than hitherto achieved
anywhere. In performance, the mo-
tors are equal to, or better, than any
known, he said. Their design will
permit large scale production to an
extent not yet reached in this coun-
try with any other type of aviation
engine.
Both were perfected after several
months of secret efforts by War
Department experts in the labora-
tories of the two companies. which
have specialized in civilian airplane,
automotive and marine engines. The
motor made by the Continental Mo-
tors Corp, Muskegon, Mich, will
be used by the Army; the one de-
veloped by the Lycoming division
of the Aviation Manufacturing Corp,
Williamsport. Pa, will be used by
the Navy. Production, however, can
not be achieved for year
Rolls Royce Engines Not Practical.
The Government source declared
that the two Rolls Royce engines
sent by England and examined by
the Army Air Corps at Wright Field,
Dayton, Ohio, had proved to be of
a type which was superseded in the
Royal Flying Corps soon after the
outbreak of the war with a newer
one which can be more easily adap-
ted to large production. The two
engines sent to Dayton cannot be
turned out in quantities and re-
quire manufacturing methods that
are little short of a hand process
throughout.
The newer type of Rolls Royce
engine, he said, was designed by
American toolmakers expressly for
easier production and proved to be
far more powerful and dependable
than any previous engine used there.
The largest has an estimated 1900
horsepower.
After Is months of strenuous ef-
forts, the source declared also that
General Motors Allison engine d.
vision had been able to increase
production of the only liquid cooled
engine hitherto suitable for combat
planes in the United States to only
IA a week. This was despite the
acknowledged production genius of
General Motors president. William
S. Knudsen, who now is in charge
of the National Defense Commits
sion's production of war materiel.
Trouble had been experienced in
attempting to apply automotive
mass production methods to the
Allison engine, he declared. Re-
Gently, he said, 40 out of 54 crank
cases manufactured for the engine
by Cadillac, a General Motors Or
ganization, had been rejected as un-
suitable for aviation engines.
New Factory Sites Submitted.
The Defense Commission, its staff
increasing each day, today con-
tinued conferences with the Army
and Navy to obtain information on
the most needed items in addition
to aviation motors. Among the
source material turned over to the

ROOSEVELT VISITS w. Va.

CHARLESTON, Sept 2. =
When Mr.. Roosevelt comes te
Charleston to Inspect" tt
naval ordinance plant, his pres
ence may cause embarrassing
moments for Governor Homer
A. Holt and the CIO-New Deal
candidate for governor, M. M.
Nicely.
Holt accepted an invitation
to accompany Roosevelt on his
tour" of inspection" which
will include the new waterfront
boulevard built by D. Boone
Dawson's administration with
money voted by the taxpayers of
Charleston, and with some fed
eral help-but not with Roose-
welt dollars.
Nicely is expected to be here
to welcome his fuhrer. Think of
poor FDR sandwiched in be-
tween Holt and Nicely who could
not find words strong enough to-
castigate each other with a.
few short monthe ago! And
think of Holt hobnobbing with
Lewis "Stooge" and the pale
image of Hitler, and of Nicely
playing around with a political
"racketeer and vampire" That
is what they called each other
in May!

has been his habit>in the past,

The belligerent and war-pro-
voking attitude of the New
Deal is shown by the way 1t
forced the ocean liner, "Ameri-
can Legion" with 875 war re-
fugees on board, to travel thru
mine-infested waters in spite of
against so doing. The
captain of that ship is reported
as saying that he would have
preferred to bring his vessel
nome through less dangerous
waters, and by a far shorter and
more (dconomiial route to the
North of that he was ordered
oy the New Deal administra-
ion to take. Roosevelt and his
State Department are response
ole for placing those American
ives in such jeopardy.
