In Holiday Deaths
By UNITED PRESS

The nations motorists embarked
on the new year by contributing
more than half the victims TO a
holiday toll of at least 204 persons
dead of violence.
A national survey showed at
least 1872 persons persisted in traf-
fie accidents on New Years eve
or the first day Of 1871. Despite
the heavy holiday traffic and rain
over much of the country. the
National Safety Council saw in
dications that motorists were pay
ing greater heed TO pleas for
caution.
The council said the New

Behind the
Ticker
BY LOUIS NJ. SCHNEIDER

NEW YORk-This is the time
Of year when corporate officials
make public their predictions for
the new year. Out OF necessity,
such predictions are always as op-
umistic as possible. That's why
your correspondent went after the
opinions Of those who know the
various industries as outsiders
looking in rather than as insiders
hoping for the best.
Business this year will enjoy its
greatest industrial boom in history
because Of government spending Of
some $4,000, 0000 900 through 1871.
This in turn will give consumers
greater spending power which in
turn will benefit non-military pro-
ducers
Steel output this wear will
show a gain over the record
breaking 66,5O0.O 900 net ton
volume of 1910. Exports TO
Latin America and the United
Kingdom will expand. Domes-
Tic consumption will he larger
because of huge armament and
shipbuilding demands.
Aircraft manufacture will hold
its record-producing pace of 1910.
The margin of profits may not be
so large as that of last year. and
the years output gain will not be
so great as that of 1910 over 1899
unless the auto industry finds a
way for mass aircraft output.
Machine tool production will
show so per cent gain over the
le4o volume of $425 900 600. High
rate of output will continue as long
as war requirements demand. Non
military lines will have difficulty
IN obtaining deliveries. Industrv's
margins OF profits are restricted
because of high taxes.
Railroads should enjoy the
best volume of freight traffic
In history. Bulk of loading.
will he of military materials.
Revenues will show up a. best
since the boom year of 1929.
Automobile industry's 194I out
put will be curtailed because of
shift 10 military production. Man
ufacturers already have close to a
billion dollars worth Of such orders
Truck producers will be particu-
larly active. Since military con-
tracts don't allow large profits and
consumer lines will be restricted
earnings prospects are rated as
undressing.
Shipbuilding industry will be al
the highest level in history. Pros
poets point TO sustained activity
for several years to come. Corpor-
ate margins Of profits are good
labor doesn't cut into revenues TOO
deeply.
Building industry has more than
billion dollars Of order backlog
with additional contracts pending.
Labor costs high. but generally the
industry Will do well this wear.
Building supply companies have
favorable long-term prospects that
are based on bombing destruction

EDITORIAL From Alaska To England
(Juneau Empire)

Major Gen. Henry H. Arnold, whose "beat" as head of the Army Air Corps has several tim es included Alaska, is now off in a new direction. The General has bsen sent to Britain for staff talks and frst-hand observation, in his capacity as Deputy Chief of Staff representing the air ser vice. A few other ranking of ficers, including Major Gen. Jam es E. Chaney, have been abroad. But more air offic- -rs of senior rank in both Army and Navy ser vice could well be sent over promptly to supplement the faith ful work of our air attaches in Britain and elsewhere.
 With each new development Of the Blitzkreig and each intensI- fcation of the sea war on Eng lands lifeline, it becomes in- creasingly aparent that new tech nical d velopments and new tao tical uses of the air force play a dominant role in modern war. There can be no question that our own air force must be equipped to master whatever may be brought into play against it. Il is imperative that ths latest changes in the use of such force should be known by direct closer vation to our flying officers. This knowledge can best be acquired, despite the risks involved, by active participation as observers with the British.

In The Merry, Month of May
Philadelphia Record)

It's little early, but we for mally inaugurate the summer silly season with story from Buffalo, N. Y. Miss Heath-r C. Thorpe, guide at the Museum or Science, reports that birds known as sapsuckers are falling prey to williams among their own species.
 It seems that sapsuckers open the bark of birch tres when the sap is running. They then sit back and let the air get into the sap so it can ferment. After a few days they begin drinking the fermented sap and get roaring Cor do we man screeching) drunk.
 The birds," says Miss Thorpe, "become oblivious to obstacles and frequently fly head-on into trees, breaking their necks."
 Apparently, this has been go- ing on for years in western New York. Now comes the new part,
 "Others become the prey oi watchful william sapsuckers, who have marked off private bars fol themselves. She saw william sar sucker knock off II of his fellows who were futtering about blind ly, probably looking for a street car"
 This story should make us al feel closer to nature. Humans aren't the only ones who can stumble into a clip-joint. Hail tc thee, blyth sapsuckers. We feel happy as a bird.

The Tanks
 Begin To Roll
(Juneau Empire)

A rash of photographs in every newspaper in America heraldS the fact that at last we are be- ginning to get delivery on mod ern tanks - the backbone and gristle of mechanical warfare.
 Out of a plant five city blocks long and two blocks w.de, big enough to produce thousand passenger cars a day and stand ing where there stood only the heavy gumbo of a cornfield last September, tanks are rolling in Detroit. Four months ago the pi- lot model of the M-3 25-ton med dium tank which the Chrysler Corporation will build for the Government was only a bundl of blueprints. It now rolls off the assembly line full-armed and ready for combat.
 Remarkable as is the machine itself, with its maneuVera5 a5iltty over almost any conceivable type of ground ard its gn at and yer satie fire power. the swift exact ness Of its production and of tie tank arsenal to produce it's c5unterparts in mas construc- tion is more remarkable still
 It was on June 9 of last year that William s. Knudsen asked President K. T. Killer of Chry- sler by telephone, Will you make tanks2' He received an answer typical of the spirit of the automobile industry, Yes, where can l see one?"
 In the months that have inter Ecned since the automobile in dustry was asked to participate on a large scale in the defense program there has b en unin- formed talk of delay and some public impatience because de- fense materials had not begun to pour out of Detroit by magic. But the magic was working and the spell of maker adv was being woven. Now the time Of production is at hand, and the M-3 tanks from the new arsenals are symbols of the coordinated effort of mass production which will be more tremendous than anything of th= kind that the world has ever seen.
