Aid Not Hurting
Army, House
Told in Secret
I.,sru.,,onsI New. ser,ie. Wiz.


WASHINGTON. March Sec
rotary OF War Henry l.. Stimson
and Gen. George c Marshall. army
chief Of staff. told the House mill
tary affairs committee that the
might of the army is increasing
and that aid TO Britain is not inter-
fering with its progress.
Stimson and Marshall were be-
fore the committee in secret
session. They were qHeStioned. 1t
was learned. on all phases Of the
army's defense program and the
effect British aid is having on IT..
Except for the shipment OF air
planes. they told the committee
that most of the ornaments sent
10 Britain. while useful in war
fare. consisted of older types. They
emphasized that this armament
might have decisive effect on the
outcome of the threatened invasion
Of England.
REASON FOR SECRECY
Stimson was said TO have eX-
planned to the committee that the
secrecy on shipments of materials
10 England is necessary because
the Germans are in a position 10
get information on the supplies
and disposition of English weapons.
This is done through secret agents,
the British and American press,
and debates in Parliament. Stim-
son was reported as saying.
Stimson also said the United
States is getting "a very good re-
turn" for all material aid extended
TO the British. He explained that
the British are turning over all
information they gained on Ger
man airplanes and equipment. as
we'll as their own information on
weapons.

good idea to check the rule book and
make sure the car doesn't violate

something wrong with his racer.

important parts of the racer, so it's
best to test them out carefully be-

Oil for Wheels.
In yesterdays article I told about

they are run in is very important
We did lot of experimenting with
oil last year and kept it up even
after l had started to race in the
Derby. Heavier oil than the kind
that is made for oiling small parts
seems to be best. An oil that is
about the same thickness as what
they call low" oil in automobile
service stations works very we'll. It's
very light oil for automobiles. but
It's heavier than the kind usually
used on Derby racer wheels. I put

By TOMMY FISHER.

In these articles I have tried to

Derby racer so that you who are
going to race this year would be
able to use some of the ideas I used
if you want to. Your work isn't all
finished when you are through put
ting the racer together, though.
If there is a hill you can use for
trial runs you will have chance to
test your car and then make any
adjustments you find are needed. In
this way it will be possible to make
sure the racer is in good running
order before the day of the Derby.

you are thinking about tests so there
won't be an accident to keep you
