DOWNEY, Calf, April 3.-Vultee
Aircraft Corp. engineers took quick
look at a German Messerschmitt ITO
and reported today that at least
four American-made fighter planes
are equal to, and in some respects
superior to, the famed Nazi craft.
The Messerschmitt, shot down
in Britain, was received at the Vultee
plant yesterday for detailed study.
William G. Wilson, Vultee traffic
manager, reported after a prelim-
mary study:
Fighter planes produced by Vul-
tee, Wright, Lcckheed and Curtis
are as good as the Messerschmitt
in construction, and in general our
instruments are finer, more reliable
and more versatile"
He said that If there is any les
son to be learned from the machine,
it may be in the streamlined aero
dynamics of the wing structure, plus
the ships ability to maintain high
speed-365 miles an hour-through-
out its cruising range of $50 miles.

The girl went on, her voice serious:
There's something you don't know

don't think he cared which side won.
1t didn't matter to him whether he
shot Communists or Nazis. Loyalists
or Falangists. He just liked to fight.
And when Mother was dying, that's
why she told Howie - you know what
she told him.
Jed said, "Yeah."
xHEY sat in silence for a while,
drawing on their cigarettes, the moon
light striking obliquely through the
wisteria on Mary's face. She was very
lovely - Franks girl. Engaged to be
married a fellow had to remember
that. There was mockingbird trilling
from the top of telephone pole, the
favorite perch of that mockingbird.
He was always there moonlight nights.
Things seem so clear in the moon
light" Mary said. About life, and
fighting. For defense. yes. For good
cause, maybe. But just for the sake
of fighting? No. never! She turned
toward him, her eyes wide, fright
ened. What can we do about Howie?
He was wrong before. But this is sure
ly worse"
Il don't know" Jed said. Il don't
know what we can do"
II talked to Frank about it," the
girl went on. 'He isn't very sympa-
thetic with Howie. He's too con-
scious of his nuisance value. You see,
a girl has to stick by her brother. And
that interferes with Franks plans."
She was moving her hand restless
ly. to make the moonlight fash in the

The debut came without warning
There was an afternoon when Jed
was delayed downtown. 1t was four
o'clock before he could get away. He
hurried straight home, hoping HOWE
would be there. Howie was not there.
Had the mob jumped him? He
wasn't ready yet. not quite. A few
more days, and he would have been
ready. :.
Then Howie burst in the door. He
was radiant. "Oh. boy, Jed! You
oughta seen what I did to that guy
Butch! Just slaughtered him! And
Stringy Conway. too. l pinned his
ears back. Gee, wish you'd been

Fine" Jed said. Swell"
The boy was drunk with glory.
Cats, Jed! Do you realize! Now l
can take care of myself! Sis1l send
me to boarding school! ! don't care
where she sends me. l can take care
of myself nowr'
He danced around the floor, shad-
ow boxing. winding up with a quick
pass at Jed's stomach. The boy was
fast. Just like lightning.
But the triumph, somehow, let Jed
down. He couldn't explain it. He
should feel this was a big day for
them both. But something was the
matter with it. 1t had gone sour.
Nov Frank and Sis can get mar
ried!' the boy cried. Gee, thanks,
Jed! You've sure been swell to US.
I've got to beat it home and tell Sis.
Boy, will she be happy! Wait till l
give her the blow-by-blow of what /
did to Butchr'
HOWE raced off down the side
walk, pausing half a block away to
turn and wave. Then he was gone.
And Jed was alone again. He Won
dered if he'd see the boy any more.
He certainly hoped so. He'd grown to
depend on that daily companion
ship. But the people you saw in life
were the people who needed you and
the people you needed. There was no
time for the others. Life was too busy.
And Howie didn't need him now...
Howie did stop in, though, nearly
every afternoon, on his way home
from school, always with a new ac-
count OF battle, a new tale of triumph.

doorbell. Jed looked suddenly down
into the grave, lovely eyes of Mary
Clark. You'll think I'm nuisance!'
she said. but l wondered if l could
talk with you? About Howie."
Jed said, "Of course"
They sat in the porch swing and
she said. "I'm afraid you'll laugh.

Two hundred were shown at the

living American artists to be shown

In selecting the pictures for Fort

Popular Music

Notable vocal slabs of recent date
include the debut on Victor of Jean

days when the goose-step was a
laugh instead of a tragedy Sablon
once again brings to records some
thing that is increasingly rare III
this frenetic era of popular" mu-

is Sablons voice and delivery that,

lyrics. his merit is ten-fOld more
appreciable than that which marks
the efforts of any five (off -handD

best sample, and the others-''Le

selections are completely in line

For lovers of the Negro spiritual,
