HEADACHES IN GASOLINE

Floridians who are worrying lest Oil
Gar Harold Ickes deprive them Of their
Sunday rides might as well face the fact
that impending gasoline rationing may
prove far more than an annoyance to this,
of all states.
When Ickes announced several days
ago that his first appeal for one-third cut
in gasoline consumption had resulted in a
generally increased use of fuel it sounded
tasifi ne meant to prepare the way for some
thing more drastic than simple request
Yesterday, he demonstrated that he
had not been misunderstood in that respect
by announcing ban on night service sta
ton operation, coupled with the hint that
more stringent regulations are yet in store.
For Governor Holland, who staked his
political reputation on an economy shored
up with gasoline tax money, that sort Of
talk and action is considerably more than
an Inconvenience, and it may prove so to the
rest of the residents of this state
Basing their program on an ascending
curve of gasoline consumption, the legis-
lators only few months ago worked out
Florida's road building program under an
amended plan which would see county road
debts wiped out, and replaced by 1892 with
a surplusiof S402,782,684.
Monroe county, for instance, would
wipe out $d, 909,848 debt, and in 1892
would have, credit of $8,487,140, of
which the surplus, over interest and bond
payments, would be split, 20 per cent for
county road construction and 80 per cent
for the highway department.
There was no thought of gas rationing
when that program was set up. To the con-
trary, it was assumed that gasoline con-
sumption in future years would be greater
than in the past,
Ickes, whose place in the history
books has been assured in his various ca
pacities as secretary of the interior, direc-
tor of PWA and ace Ratchet man of the
New Deal, may carve out q smaller niche
for himself as the man who put the gray
hairs in Governor Hollands head.

FINDING AN ANSWER TO THE PLANE

The Honorable Herbert Hoover, for
mer President of the United States, urges
scientists to find defensive answer to
the airplane, which has revolutionized
warfare, making the aggressor far more
powerful and making small nations help
less to defend their liberties.
Mr. Hoover is on the right track. As
he says, the defensive answer to the air.
plane, when it comes, will turn the whole
fate of the world" 1t will eliminate the
butchering of women and children as a part
of war-making
The airplane is today enjoying its of
fensive holiday but the scientists of the
world, or maybe the military and naval of
ficers of the world, will discover the means
to meet the menace of the air. In fact
some day the defensive forces may be able
to nullify the advantages which now make
the airplane weapon of indiscriminate
slaughter.
There was day in the history of the
world when the torpedo was supposed to
make useless the warships of the fleet and
those who remember the World War days
can recall the day when lone German
U-boat sent three British cruisers to the
bottom in an hour or SO. However, the an
swer to the submarine has been found, in
part, and the answer to the airplane will be
developed. in time

Silence on the part of statesmen when
they wish to avoid telling the truth is more
puzzling than evasive statements, which
lend themselves to any sort of interpreted
ton. Trying to interpret the meaning of
silence on any question is more difficult and
less likely to be correct.

FORWARD MARCH
U. S. AIR FORCE TO BE
WORLDS BEST IN 1912
BY H. S. SIMS. JR.

Today, U. S. plane plants are
turning out about half as many
military craft as the Germans;
that is, we are producing planes
at the rate of about 10000 per
year.
During the year ending on the
past June Both, the u. S. produc-
ed l1,647 military airplanes. BY
next summer the U. S. will be
capable of producing as many
military aircraft as Germany.
However, the strength of our
air force depends more on the
quality of the planes being pro-
duced than it does on the num-
Der of planes. British Spitfires
and Hurricanes proved this to the
satisfaction of our experts in the
Dunkerque episode.
AS for quality: u. S. bombers
are the worlds best, our Nays
flying boats are unrivaled, both
the Army and the Navy claim to
have have the fastest plane in
the world, the Army received on
July II the initial delivery of
a new dive bomber which it
claims will out-perform dive
bombers in use by foreign ma
tons. and we have that daddy
of-all planes, the Bio, which is
the worlds largest plane, having
bomb capacity of rs tons.
And our military designers are
not asleep, for, according to John
]. Mccoy, Assistant Secretary of
War, I'VE have on the drawing
boards and in process of con
struction long-range bombers
that will make these (unrivaled
u. S. bombers) look like little
brothers.
Before ending a review of our
air strength, something should
be said of our parachute troops.
There are 100 U. S. parachute
troops, composing the 50lst and
502nd Parachute Battalons. In
the near future two more para
chute units will be organized;
they have already been authoriz-
ed.
The Army Air Corps has also
bought a number of g1iders for
experimental purposes. Army
officials realize that elders and
parachute troops play important
roles in modern warfare and that
experiments in these fields are
necessary to bring the u. S.
fighting forces up-to-date.
For protection against enemy
air craft, the U. S. Army is now
arranging for the installation of
electrical sentries'' along the
Y. S. coast. These electric SEN
tries spot enemy planes many
miles away and determine their
altitude, direction and distance.
On being warned by the cleo
trio sentries, interceptor planes
will take off to turn back the in
vading foe. Incidentally, the
four Interceptor Command Head
quarters are located in the states
of Washington, California, Flor
ida and New York.
Several weeks ago there was a
move gaining momentum in Con-
gress to combine the Army Air
Corps and the Naval air force
into an independent branch OF
the service. The big boys of the
Army and Navy were very much
