Names for Airplanes

(New York Times)
 In the interest of further dramatizng and per- sonalizing the most spectacular of services we might do well to follow the example of the Royal Air Force and the British Fleet Air Arm by exend- ing the practice of giving names rather than mere cold and pedantic-looking numbers and letters to specific types of fighting aircraft The British serv- ices have been very happy, for the most part, in naming flying weapons which have rendered so splendid an account of themselves in the Spit fire and Hurricane, the fighters which have proved so deadly to Nazi bomber raids, are now household words around the world. Defiant is another fighter that lives up to its name Skua, dive bomber which is the namesake of magnificent flier among the gulls Swordfsh, the torpedo plane; Battle. Gadia- tor and Tornado all fighting names for fighting aircraft
 The British have applied their habit of naming planes to the types which are furnishing to them out of expanding arsenal The pursuit which call Lockheed P-38, they call Lightning. Our fighter, the Vutee 72 they have dubbed Vengeance, and the Consolidated B-24 bomber is called in Eng land Liberator. The long-ranging patrol boat here Catalina, and distinguished itself the other day in picking up the trail of the fleeing Bismarck We have some ringing plane names ourseves-witness Hawk Airacobra, Thunderbolt and Lancer. The man in the street knows and takes pride in four engned bomber the Flying Fortress rather than the B-17-B. It would be worth while to replace such impersonal designations (except for strictly military classification as XB2U-1 with that in themselves carry something of the trumpet call of action.

SENATOR HILL SMILES

Senator Lister Hill, lank Alabama New Dealer, is going around with a big smile on his face and two clippings in his hand. They consist of New York Exchange quotations on the stock of the Aluminium Cor poration of America.
 First qutation, on the day that Reynolds Metals Company opened its new aluminium plant at Lister, Ala, was 165. Second quotation, for the same stock just few ago was 115.
 Just a few months apart" Hill says, but they tell a mighty im- portant story. Before the Reynolds plant started operating, Aluminium Corporation had monopoly, and its stock was way up in the strato- sphere. Now that monopoly is brok- en and the Aluminium Companys stock shows 1t. This is very inter- esting object lesson in economics for the country"

sian oil fields and in certain key Russian industries.
 Of course, anything can happen in Russia. But if Hitler carries out his threats, it probably means that he will go through southern Russia and the Caucausus, taking the rich oil areas around Baku and Batum, then drive down through Iran to the Indian Ocean. This would put Germany on two sides of Syria and Palestine-and the British would be between a new and powerful pine CTS.
 Even more important, Germany then would be on the border of Britain,s most coveted of all colonial prizes-India. Providing, of course, Hitler's war machine were success full. 2
 NOTE: Hitler's present demand that Russia return Poland and Ru- mania probably rates as the choic- est irony of the war. Poland, by demanding part of Czechoslovakia precipitated the czech downfall Then Russia, by taking part of Po- land, precipitated Poland downfall Now Germany, having swallowed Poland plus the land she took from Czechoslavakia, proposes to swallow Russia-plus the territory she took from Poland.

NICKEL, WAITING FOR US

The existence of nickel deposits Bohemia Basin and vicinity Yakobi Island Southeast AL aska, has been known for many years. But very little other than that has been known. Now the Geological Survey which sent Geologists J. c. Reed and J. Van N. Dorr to make examinations last year, reports that the nickel exists in quantities and be mined a break-even basis.
 The Bureau says calculations based the 1940 surveys indicate that about 6,000,000 tons of rock containing about 36 percent of nickel and .27 per- cent of copper are present and available for min- ing in the eight bodies that have been partly pros pected The estimate is based the very conserva- tive assumption that each of the bodies extends to depth equal to half its length. In addition to the eight bodies partly prospected there known to be at least four others which have not been pros- pected. There probably are other bodies that do not crop out at the surface and hence yet undiscovered Still other sulfide bodies may well be present in unmapped areas of Yakobi Island and along the west coast of Chichagof Island.
 There is even better news in the Surveys further that further prospecting will probably greatly increase the estimate of the tonnage avail able in the bodies" No great change in the esti- of the grade is expected, however The grade is such the Bureau reports, that the material be mined and the nickel and copper extracted from it at cost roughly equal to the value of the metals that would be produced"
 There is no opportunity here for miner to make a fortune But there appears to be oppor- tunity for the United States pressed for strategic minerals including nickel to develop considerable domestic supply in Alaska.
 The deposits, lying about 130 miles by water west of Juneau, have been examined syste- matcaly and in detail with view to determining their geologic environment and the amount and grade of material available. The important first

CAPITAL CHAFF

No literature has provoked more chuckles in the Diplomatic Corps recently than S CT tary Ickes' scatching reply to his uncle-in-law, ex-Ambassador John Cudahy, whom he dubbed Innocent Abroad" in- terviewing Hitler. :. The War De- partment doesn't want newspapers to publish the salaries paid to the new fire inspectors who are to pre- vent sabotage in factories, although they are posted in Civil Service lists in post offices all over the country. Reason: inspectors will be paid $2,- 900 to $4,600, which is higher than some commissioned officers. Personalities make lot of difference even in war. In Syria the British were wise enough to put in the fore front General Catroux, a seasoned veteran, popular with colonial troops. Defending Syria is General Dentz, an intelligence officer, and intelligence officers are not popular in any army.

AL SMITHS VISIT

Al Smiths surprise White House visit was more than friendly call" The brown derby champion had a very practical reason for the trip-in fact, two of them.
 In the course of his discussion with Roosevelt about all-out aid to Britain (which Smith vigorously supports), he remarked that the proposal to locate some of the over- crowded government offices in New York was very welcome news to of flee building owners. With a broad grin he added that the mighty En- pire State Building, which he di- rects, could use a good tenant" !" Smith said a number of floors were available at reasonable rates"
 Laughing heartily at the hint, the President replied that he would pass the information along to agencies looking for more room.
 The other reason for Smiths visit was the intention of his son, Alfred, Jr., member of the New York City Council, to run for President of the Council in November against the son of another prominent Democrat, Senator Robert Wagner. Robert, Jr., member of the New York State Leg islature, has the backing of the powerful American Labor Party. He is angling for the endorsement ot Mayor LaGuardia and OPM's Sidney Hillman. who as former head of the . Amalgamated Clothing Workers in- fluences big bloc of votes.
 1 Al, Sr.. has no hopes of winning a LaGuardia Hillman endorsement for his boy, but he does want to keer them neutral if he can. The facl that he and Roosevelt again are or good terms should help.
 NOTE: Smith also is playing quiet court to LaGuardia. Recently they appeared together on a nationwide aid Britain program.

The Pilgrims Showed the Way
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Eloquent Elder Robert Cushman, delivered an address the little band of Pilgrims at Plymouth in December 1921. His topic in reality that there is strength in unity. He said:
 Great matters have been brought to pass where men have cheerfully as with heart, hand and shoulder gone about it. both in buildings and plantations, but where every seeks himself all cometh to nothing"
 It is 320 years since the Elder spoke those words. It time of discouragement. The little Colony was beset with many difficulties. Yet the Pilgrims persevered They did not know that they were to be the foundation stone of mighty nation.
 So it they builded vastly better than they knew. They succeeded because all of them with one accord worked for the common good. Again we are beset with difficulties. And again as in the time of the Pilgrims it is necessary for cheerfully to labor with "one heart, hand and shoulder"

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

THURSDAY, JUNE ls

I1OIoko1A 0OINE 10 Hstxt 2
 Benefic aspects dominate today but there is a sinister influence discerned for afternoon. It is a date fortunate for the relations be- tween employers and employees.
 Heart and Home: This is an aus picious time for pushing ambitious plans, whether they be philan- thropic or selfish. The aged should benefit as the value of vanishing traditions and conservative modes of life is again appreciated. Under this sway the mind should be keen and foresight should be reliable While all the signs appear to pres age amazing changes after the World War ends, there is the pre- diction of good fortune for those who hold to long established codes of modes and morals.
 Business Affairs: This is an aus picious sway for heads of impor- tant organizations, private or gov- ernmental. Leadership by men and women of training and experience will be widely sought in the read justments due to war needs. The power of prosperity now will be demonstrated as defense prepara- tions are speeded amazingly and citizens of the United States begin to understand that peril to the na- tion is not merely political bogey but a reality.
 National Affairs: Astrologers stress the fact that this nation is a mosaic comprised of represen- tatives of most of the peoples .on this Earth and they urge the elim- ination of all prejudice. Thousands of loyal Americans have friends Or relatives forced to fight for the Axis. For this reason the seers ex- press the need of tolerance and kindliness through this period of great emergency. True patriotism accords freedom of speech, b this does not mean that criticism or abuse should be uttered.
 International Affairs: Sc s m c disturbances are forecast for the coasts of Peru and Chile Mars eliminating is read as threatening trouble in South Africa. The Malay States and Sarawak will be- dis turbed and China will sustain seri. ous difficulties. Through this month there will be reverses for British fighters and corresponding increase of responsibility for the United States. Again astrologers prophecy that American aid must not be limited.
 Persons whose birthdate it }, is have the augury of a year of even- tual success after opposition and delays. Elders will aid young mem bers of the family. s
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be exceedingly successful, for they should be talented, ener- getic and industrious.

An EnviobIe Record

DoN'T forget also that the girls are
"old hands at this sort of stuff, for
in all of the disaster emergencies pre-
viously mentioned, they've been right
in there, shoulder to shoulder with
their brothers. In hurricane, food or
earthquake they've made an enviable
name for themselves in such vital
work as helping with the cooking and
food-serving in refugee shelters; caring
for homeless children; cooperating
in the housekeeping and practical
nursing at first-aid stations and emer-
gency hospitals; and fulfilling count
less other vital chores.
OF course, whenever a major dlsas-
ter strikes any community, there are
always hundreds of willing volunteers
who unhesitatingly jump in to help
wherever they can. Human nature
being what it is, however, it is newt
able that as the first dramatic impact
of the catastrophe begins to cool, so
does the ardor of the voluntary work
ers.
The thing about the Girl Scouts
that impresses anybody who has seen
them in action is the fact that they
stick to the bitter end. The excite
ment and romance of rescue work go
down with the lowering waters of a
food, leaving nothing but sinking
mud and back-breaking drudgery -
and hollow despair. There are no more
screaming headlines, no more drama
tics - there's nothing except hard
work. But that's exactly where the Girl
ScOntS Shine'

MASTER OF The SKIES
Continued from poge four

Donald Douglas ranks 1924 as one
of the milestones of his career. That
year he designed and completed the
three DWC douglas World Cruiser
planes in which United States Army
flyers girdled the globe for the first
time Another milestone was 1882,
when he completed the first DC
douglas Commercially air liner. This
craft grew before long into the DEB
skysleeper - and for the first time
Americans could go to bed in New
York and wake up in San Francisco.
In spite of the defense emergency,
which has practically monopolized his
plants with its demands for British
and American military planes, Douglas
daydreams primarily of planes to han
die the world Is commerce In many air
craft plants, commercial planes have
been the by-product of military de-
signing. In the Douglas scheme the
reverse has been true. The Cloudster,
the DWC and the famous DC series
were ships designed for peacetime
uses, and Douglas looks forward to the
day when his craft will carry not only
passengers and mail, but freight as
well. The BIO superbomber is an
exception to the rule. Yet even that
may revolutionize overseas travel. The
7,50O-mile cruising range may make
flying boats obsolete Without her
bomb load, the B-19's four motors,
developing as much horsepower as the
turbines of lO,0OO-ton ocean liner.
