rife pace considering its 25-ton bulk.
1t can carry four tons of bombs
and has a range of some 5000 miles,
which would enable it to fly 1,5O0
miles out from its British base on
an assignment of destruction.
Well armed fore and aft, the B-24
is expected to give good account
of itself in battle with fighter planes.
1t is for this craft that the Ma
tional Defense Advisory Commission
has asked the Ford Motor Co. to
build parts and subassemblies to be
shipped to two huge assembly plants
in the Midwest and South for final
assembly-at Tulsa, Okla, by Doug
las and at Fort Worth, Tex, by Con-
solidated. The program, which has
yet to be put in effect, calls for con-
struction of 10000 B-24s.
Great Britain's needs are appar-
emily given first consideration in
delivery of the B-24s, now being
turned out of the Consolidated fac
tory here in swiftly sccelerating
tempo.
Virtually all of these bombers at
present receiving final tests bear the
insignia and the dull green and
brown camouf1age of r. A. F. planes.
Large numbers are slated for de-
livery to the United States Army
Air Corps, but it may be several
months before the first complete
B-24 squadron is organized in this
country.

ported dispute, Inspector Miller
said:
L have never met Commissioner
Young either personally or officially.
l cannot imagine why he feels the
way he does about me.
This seems to be a controversy
between Maj. Brown and the Com
missioner"
Arrest Records Cited.
The issue arose over a report by
Mai. Brown indicating that motor
cycle policemen under the command
of the central police bureau had a
better record of arrests than those
motorcycle men attached to the
precincts. 1t was suggested there
fore, that all motorcycle men be
placed under the command of one
supervising official, and the plan
was approved by the Commissioners.
Maj. Brown had advised the press
that there were 60-odd men and
that all but about 18 of these men
had been under the command of
the Traffic Bureau, that the re-
mainder had been under the direc-
tion of commanders of the pre-
cincts.
The move also is designed to cut
down the wave of traffic fatalities
which has resulted in Is deaths
thus far in 194l compared to for
the same period last year and to
meet CRITICISM that police spend too
much time ticketing parking vio-
lators.
Under Maj. Browns plan Capt.
Milton D. Smith would remain sec
ond in command of the traffic di-
vision urder Inspector Miller.

Judging of Show Entries
Expected to Be Finished
This Afternoon

The cats at Odd Fellows Temple
are gossipping today about the noe
turnal wanderings of a blue cream
Persian and short-haired alley cat
The cages were all securely fas-
tened last night when officials of
the championship cat show spon-
sored by the Columbian Cat
Fanciers, Inc, and the American
Tabby and Tortie Club went home.
But somehow, the blue cream and
the alley cat emerged from their
cages and strolled about the hall
while the other 180 cats slept and
meowed.
About $50 people, including the
exhibitors, visited the cat show yes
terday and many more are expected
today. The show closes at 10 o'clock

position on the bill, Senator Walsh
told reporters that Il attended the
meeting and consulted with other
Senators" He would not elaborate,
but, asked what he thought of the
expressed opinions of Secretary
Knox and Wendell L. Willkie on
the transfer of additional destroyers
to Britain, he declared
When he says that we can not
safely transfer any more destroyerS,
I assume that Knox knows our naval
requirements. If he doesn't, who

Mr. Willkie, the 1910 Republican
presidential candidate, suggested 10
the Foreign Relations Committee
Tuesday that the United States
should transfer from to 10 de-
Stroyers month to Britain. Later
he declared that he had been ad-
vlsed by high authorities that it
could be done. He made the latter
statement after conferring with
President Roosevelt.
Clarity Pacific Situation.
MI KnoXs stated view was that
no more destroyerS could be spared
by the Navy for British use. Into
this apparent conflict of views the
White House injected an assertion,
which was not amplified that there
was no real difference between the
opinions of Mr. Willkie and Mr..
Knox on the subject.
One result of all this was that
Senator Tobey, Republican, of New
Hampshire wired President Roose-
welt late Yesterday asking him to
clear up the "befuddlement" over
the destroyer question.
Those who attended the meeting
in Senator JOhnSon's Office included
Senators Thomas, Republican, of
Idaho; La Toilette. Progressive. of
Wisconsin; ShipStead. Republican, Of
Minnesota: Gillette. Democrat. of

TObey, Wheeler, Nye. Republican, of
North Dakota; Brooks, Republican,
OF Illinois, and Bulow, Democrat, of
South Dakota.
There was some ClOakroom dis
cusSion, meanwhile, of a proposal
by Senator Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin to have the Senate meet
in executive session next Thursday
to hear Secretary of State Hull and
his assistants outline the foreign sit
uatlon. but leaders said there was
virtually no possibility such a ses-
sion would be held.
In a Senate speech yesterday,
Senator Wiley said that Mr.. Hull
might provide valuable information
which would aid the Senate in its
consideration of the British-aid
measure. Senator Wiley said he
particularly wanted to know about
the situation in the PACIFIC.
William D. Mitchell, Attorney
General in Herbert Hoover's cabinet,
yesterday advocated passage of the
lease-lend bill.
In statement issued through the
Committee to Defend America by
Aiding the Allies, he said:
"A victorious Germany would con-
troll the seas and the air, and be
able to destroy our coast cities and
plunder us, and also dictate the
economic conditions under which
we live, and in that event to pre-
serve us from complete domination,
this Nation would become an armed
camp"
