WASHINGTON PASTE UP

Imports Of tapioca must be cut
down to save space on freighters
from the East Indies. That affects
not only your pudding, but also the
starch for the paste on the back Of
the postage stamps you lick, and
the starch in your boiled shirt. Be
fore the war, we imported 75)
tons Of irish potato starch from Hol-
land but the q irish potato starch
factories in New England are now
prepared to make up for this short
age. Biggest hope for relieving
starch shortage comes from new
sweet potato starch industry in Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana. Sweet po-
tato crop is now estimated at 10
million bushels above normal Farm
Security Administration began eX-
periments on this in 1884 and now
has a plant in Laurel Miss, which
has rehabilitated hundreds of far
mers, increased yields to 200 bushels

The Inside TRACK in Washington

Along about that time, British
production of its own fighters be-
gan to accelerate. They didn't need
the P-40's. and preferring to use
their own production in Britain,
which was natural, they shipped the
rest Of their P-40's to the Mediter-
ranean. This was the second point
interpreted as an admission that
the P-40 was no good.
STALLED AND LOOPED
The poor old P-41 was really the
first low wing, all metal, closed
cockpit fighter. 1t had some faults,
as any first model is apt to have,
It's air manifested a little wing tip
stall. and would so into ground
loops. It's air scoop flared a little,
il was heavily armored By today's
standards. but remember, all this
was back in the practically plesito-
Gene times of 1889, wnen its 800
miles an hour and multiple machine
gun armament were adequate.
Now the army has a habit Of put
ting improvements on planes, and
whenever an improved model is
brought out, they stick a letter of
the alphabet after its model num-
Der. P-40-A's began to appear, and
P-4O-B's and C's and D's. Today
there are P-4O-E's flying around,
and this month the army is TO an
nounce a new Curtiss P-40-F, which
is so much of an improvement on
the original old P-40 that the planes
shouldn't be in the same class. And
it might be mentioned here that III
the way Of combat planes the army
also has in production models up
to Republic PATS, which the Brit
ish don't have, and represent seven
basic improvements in design after
the P-40. Also, Lockheed P-38's and
the Bell Aircobra P-39, both Of
which can do better than 400 miles
an hour
The real payoff on the P-4O's,
however, is that some OF the P-4O-
AS and P-4O-Bs saw action in
Syria where they fought off the
Germans.
Next time anybody tells you the
U. S. plane factories can't make
good pursuit ships, kick him in the
britches for a fifth columnist.

Willkie Suggested As Air Chief

NEW YORK, July IT = Maga- zine Editor William B Eff said yesterday that all informed avia tion opinion favors a unified, sep arate air force under direct super vision of a minister of defense.
 Eff has just returned from Washington after a conference with leading aviation officials. He says informed opinion con- siders such a unified air force an immediate necessity if the war is to be won and our safety guaran teed.
 The editor suggested Wendell Willkie as a man who might fit the defense ministry job admir- ably. He points out that making Wallkie minister of defense would include all major portions of United tSates political opinion in the program. Said Eff:
 Beneath such a defense min ister would be the ministers for Army, Navy and Air, each with it's own organization, and all com pletely coordinated for the na- tional welfare. At present the ere ation of aircraft is handled by a group of agencies with resultant confusion"

Salmon Co To War

An example of what will very likely happen to Alaskas fore most industry as this nation be- comes more deeply involved in war is furnished by news from Canada, where two-thirds of the 1941 canned salmon pack has been ordered delivered to Great Britain.
 The British Food Ministry has paced an order for 100000 cas- es of salmon from the expected 1,7000 0-case l94l pack. British requirements will be given prior ity over domestic and other mar kets, an embargo has been placed on exports of fresh salmon for canning purposes, all camel sal mon exports are to be licensed, shipments from British Columbia ports are to be supervised by the Dominion and a rigid price maxi mum placed on every grade of fish.
 The British government has discontinued it's former policy of permitting imports of canned sal man through the usual trade channels and has added purchas es of this commodity to the string of foodstuf1s now under obm- plete control of the Ministry of Food. The arrangement required direct dealings with the Domin- ion government, which has now acted to deliver the goods.
 Thus is resource as remote ffom the battlefield as canned sal mon regimented in modern war.
 The Canadian developments will have an effect on the Alaska canned salmon industry. Just what it wi l be is difficult to pre- dict. We might sell less salmon to England and more to Canada and the rest of the world. Tie war is already reaching long ways and will reach farther be- fore it is over.

Good Going

Seward is setting a good eX- ample for the rest of the Terri tory.
 When the future looked dark est to that stout-hearted commun ity, its enterprising citizens set out 10 tell the world, through the columns of their local newspaper and over the air, what they have to offer home-seekers, tourists and prospective investors.
 And as if by magic, the Army moved in overnight and started building quarters for a sizeable garrison; and there is possib- ility that the importance of Re surrection Bay as a link in the Alaska coastal defense soon will be given recognition by the Navy.
 All of Stewards houses are oc- cupied, new buildings are under construction and properties are advancing steadily in value. The road ahead has taken on a new promise.
 All this may not have resulted from local campaigning but at least Seward folks have display ed a will to carry on, and The Nugget rejoices with them in the turn of affairs in their favor.
