 Words in Criticism

Medford, Mass, Sept. il - (UP) "A resignation offer by pr. Robert Cummins, geenral superintendent of the Universallst church, was before delegates today at the United Uni- VersAlist convention. Ff
 pr. CumminS charged yesterday that a handful of UniverSalist lead- CTS were engaged in "stealthy, per- sistent and harbed opposition" to the liberalized church program adopted two years ago. He asked the delegates, representing the nations G7 900 Universalists, for c vote Of confidence or instructions to re- place him.
 Tt is e poor time indeed, Dr. Cummins said, flor self-appointed individuals to picture themselves in the role of having been devinely commissioned to save the rest of us from some imagined archbishop who secretly cherishes the pontihcate.

Unfortunately, the motoring Diog- enes who finds his honest man will learn that 1t will be several years before any major increases in the operating economy of motor cars ar rive. With automotive engineers up to their necks in defense work, they aren't spending much time now on anything but necessary engineering.
 There are three chief factors already in view which will. some day, bring about major increases in fuel economy - lightweight, rear-mount- ed engines; lighter. plastic bodies, and increased octane rating of gas- oline itself. All three of these tie in closely together.
 Two years ago the oil companies said they would have the l20-octane gas for commercial use by l942. Some automotive engineers, work ing on that promise. have designed the engines smaller. lighter and with that high economy, but the oil companies seem to be still far away from the gas that will do the trick,
 Those light and smaller engines furnish the incentive toward end less redesigning. General Motors Research Laboratories have been experimenting with rear-engined cars for a number of years, but the work hasn't progressed far enough to get into the engineering de- partments of the various G. M. car divisions.

FEDERAL FINANCING

It takes lot of money to keep
war going, and the United States
Treasury is showing commendable
enterprise in selling tax-anticipa-
tion notes. During August the sales
amounted to $1,O37, 100000. The
Treasury now expects the sales to
reach 6 to 8 billion dollars in a
year. The Treasury is selling de-
fense bonds and stamps at the rate
of 4 to 6 billion dollars a year.
The tax-anticipation notes are
being purchased by the public for
use in paying federal taxes when
they fall due. The notes are sort
of voluntary installment plan that
solves the question of where to find
the money. Presto: Tax anticipa-
tion notes are exchanged for tax
receipts,
The government is getting a
steady flow of money as the year
rolls round from the new system
of federal financing. The new set
up is much simpler and easier than
the Liberty Bond campaigns of the
days of World War No. 1.

WASHINGTON's AIRPORT

An artist in word-pictures cm-
ployed by the Government tells
us that "all the gravel necessary
for aprons, runways, and all air.
port structures, came from the
bottom of the Potomac River where
there is still enough left to make
a few dozen more such airports, If
Uncle Sam should happen to need
them along the Potomac. But I'm
Gle Sam is satisfied for the present.
Nature began grinding up this
gravel with glaciers of assorted
sizes back in the second glacial
period, says the modern COM
mentator in recalling ancient Cir
cumstances. They came down to
the sea, pushed the whole section
up in the air a hundred feet or so,
made little ones out of the big
rocks, and then melted. The pa
tient Potomac then cut its way to
the sea through this gravel and
the whole area settled down to ap-
proximately its present level. The
gravel bed is 60 to 80 feet thick
below the whole area, and below
that is the beach sand of ages past.
Since 1907, the Government and
private firms have been dredging
gravel out Of this deposit, and they
have made holes as deep as 25 feet
below the river bottom. The Mt.
Vernon highway was built of this
gravel.
That's not all-let the Civil
Aeronautics literary-fiier conclude
his fight. He adds: "More than
1S,O0O,O 900 cubic yards Of material
was dredged up from the river bot
tom to form the landing area. For
leveling off and surfacing this area,
the engineers took 100000 more
cubic yards from the nearby raised
ground along the shore. To visual
ize a piece Of dirt of 20,000,OOO Gu
bic yards, imagine enough dirt to
fill a swimming pool two miles long
by one mile wide by ten feet deep.
And engineers say that they have
hardly scratched the bottom at
Gravelly Point"
But the publicity-artist scratch
ed the roof" in the above yarn. He
was describing the new Washing
ton airport, and the above is crib
bed from his story.
