1895 Planes In Five Months

Many Americans have been wondering how many airplanes have been sent to the British by the United States.
 We have no available informa- tion upon the total number of planes that have been produced in this country for British use but the Office of Production Man agement reorts that the produc- ton of aircraft for the first five months of l94l was as follows: 1,036, 972. 1,2l6, 1889 and 1884. This adds up to 5,947 airplanes made in this country in the pres ent year.
 Figures published in the U. S. News show that during these five months the British received 1892 airplanes from the United States. This leaves available for our use for for shipment elsewhere. 4,555 planes. Obviously, the Brit ish are not receiving all of the planes that are produced in the United States.

Campaign May Save It

I talked with experts in the Office of Production Manage ment, the Commerce, Interior and Agriculture departments, and the sum of it seems to be that somewhere between these lies what's around the corner for you and Neighbor Doakes and me.
 The gasoline situation is local ized to one section of the coun- try, but it illustrates the point well. If enough people wage a conservation campaign by doing the things MT. Singer suggests and perhaps walking a couple of blocks to the corner drugstore and back instead of hopping in the old buggy, there may be few Or no restrictions whatever.

Substitutes, Not "ErsatZ"

The Research Institute of Am erica recently made a survey of substitution possibilities in all materials where shortages might develop. Rep. Homer D. Angell of Oregon filed this report with the House. It included everything from fiber for leather in foot ball helmets, and white metal for nicket in clarinets, to glass and plastic for brass doorknobs.
 The report also included a sur vey of what Nazi Germany has done along this line (this does not include "ersatz" or simulated materials = merely substitutes). !. A few of them are interesting: glass wool for asbestos; glass and porcelain for copper in beer brewing equipment; pressed glass for washboards and fish net weights; poplar wood for bottle ccrks; and whale whiskers and hair for pig bristles.
 The way experts sum it up, shortages in this country will mean substitution and conserva- ton, with good chances that in- conveniences resulting from the latter will not be more than tenn porary, if the consuming public cooperateS.

WASHINGTON, July - Try ing to put you finger on exactly what is going to happen to you and me as result of priorities, na tional defense shortages and even temporary bottlenecks is like trying to pick feathers from the wing of busy humming- bird,
 Not long ago at press confer ence Interior Secretary and oil czar Harold L. Ickes was asked if he eiieved we would really have gasoline-less Sundays. His answer was that in the East we might have to forego pleasure driving altogether.
 A few days later, Russell E. Singer, general manager of the American Automobile Associa- tion, said the American Petrol cum Institute estimated that be- cause of transportation problems peculiar to the eastern seaboard, we would have to get along on about l5 percent less gasoline this year; BUT, said MT. Singer, if eastern motorists would just cut down their driving speed quit making "jackrabbit get aWays' in city traffic, have their cars adjusted for maximum con- sumption and use a few other simple rules of conservation, they could cut gasoline consump- tion 20 percent and forget all about gasoline-less Sundays, post poned vacation, and all other kind of restrictions.
 These two views on a situa- tion are, so far as the individual is concerned, at variance with each other, yet either of them could come true.

Casoline-Less Sundays Are Possible In The East, It Is
 However, Up To Motorist

Even now. in Washington, cam paign is being readied to bring this about. If the campaign is a fizz e, then the restrictions will have to be made by law or ex- ecutjve order.
 One great shortage that is al- ready with us is in aluminium. There is NO aluminium available fer articles for civilian consump- ton, We are tod. But does that mean there will be no refrigera- tors, pots and pans, vacuum bot ties, milk pails, marimbas, and a thousand and one other alum mum things? No. it means simply that all these things will be made of something else plastics, glass, enamel-Ware, porcelain - but mostly plastics.
 Gano Dunn, OPM, expert, has estimated the l94l steel short age at 100000 tons and a deficit of 6,400,00 tons is forecast for next year. But 75 percent of the nations steel consumption now is civilian consumption. That means that national defense will have to dip into that 75 percent to make up the shortage. We'll have to drive the old car a few months longer and again take other metals and plastics instead of steel.

War Heads
 Toward Siberia

Daily war bulletins bristle with contradictory reports from the Russo-German front. Both sides claim victories and tremen- dous slaughter and destruction of enemy forces. But, the fact re- mains the Russians are fighting on the defensive and Germany has sliced off strips of Russian territory here and there as much as l50 miles deep.
 Stalin desperately calls for the Russian people to devastate the country behind them. leaving a burned and parched path in their wake. If Russia pursues these tao ties long she will be able 10 with draw 10 the Urals and still have all Siberia behind her. But can she do this and still retain an eff fective major fighting machine, And can Germany penetrate all European Russia, maintaining connections, providing supplies, bringing up sufficient tanks. plan es and man power, 10 retain her prestige.
 If she can perform this mod  ern miracle, will Siberia, with its vast stretch become the ultimate theater of conflict. If so the con- quering horde will be right at the front door of Alaska-step- ping stone into the heart of the American continent.
 The Russians are said to have been moving vital munitions in dustries back from their western front, making the Urals their in dustrial center.
 Oil fields of the Volga area and grain of the Ukraine and other vast areas are dec 'ared the main immediate German objectives. If the Russians continue to fall back, they doubtless will make an inferno of these supply sourc- eS.
 If forced back 10 the Urals, Russia has 5000 miles across Si- beria sti.l back of her-spanned by the trans Siberian railway. Observers have said that who ever controls the railroad con- trols Siberia.
 Two thirds of the might and the industries of Russia are said to lie in old Russia, west of the Urals. If the Russians abandon that, will they be able to retain an effective resistance.
 Germany, with highly trained military leaders approaching the advantages of aggressive war fare, keeping the war and devas- tation away from their own coun try, are not hesitating to follow up their gains, far as they may be from their original base. But remembr the fate that such a policy visited on Napoleon when he was baked at Moscow to re- treat in one of the most disaster ous reverses of history.

Mccarthy Planning To Push

He hasn't fully decided how he
will use the sensational young Sec

a pair like that together" ne
unused. "Still, I have a mighty
fine second baseman in Joe Gordon,
and it's good to have a. man Ike
him in there to steady a youngster
like Rizzuto. I might shift Cor
don to third. But shucks, w y
worry about that now? Rizzuto has
to show me he can play shortstop
better than frankie Crosetti, and
how can you count a guy like Red
Rolfe out at third? We'll see."
In the meantime, Joe is inclined
to think Cleveland will be a little
tougher to beat than Detroit over

Glamack Leads White Phan-

Southern Loop Tilt

CHAPEL HILL, Jan. IA. - Up -
Paced by George Glamack's 80
points, North Cardinals White Phan-
toms defeated Wake Forest 61-45 to-
night in a Southern Conference bas-
ketball game.
The arch-rivals fought the first ten
minutes to a SO deadlock, but Gla-
mack, Rose and Gersten found the
range and pulled ahead at half 24.14.
The next ten minutes also featured
set play and close guarding, ending
1926, but the last few minutes turn
ed into a wide open, fr~ee-scoring
speedfest on both sides.
Glamack was bagging Grips, lay
ups, and follow-ups as we'll as his
famous hook shots for one of his
most versatile performances.
Cardinals other players showed i'm
provement at cutting and shooting,
but might have done a better follow
up job.
Rose turned in a particularly fine
job of feeding Glamack, and Hank
Pessar, Paul SEVERN and Bobby Ger
stem also added some fine floor and
defensive play.

ATHLETIC BOARD
0KEHS SELECTION
Renowned Massillon High
School Coach Succeeds
Ousted Francis Schmidt
BY FRIT HOWELL

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 14.-R-
Paul Brown, who was too small to
play with Ohio State u~niversity's
freshman football team 10 years
ago, today became the biggest grid
iron figure on the Buckeye cam
pus.
A draft Brown" movement
which started a. couple Of minutes
after Francis Schmidt had resigned
the head coaching job Dec. 16,
swept the Massillon High school
miracle man into the vacant berth
today as the athletic board and
university trustees stamped him
with their official okeh.
Never in the history of Buckeye
athletics has a man received the
statewide support of fans, alumni
and other coaches as did Brown,
whose Massillon High teams lost
only eight games in his nine years
of scholastic membership. They lost
only one in the last 60 contests.
With practically everyone in Ohio
on the Brown band-wagon, the ath-
letic boards unanimous sanction to-
day was a mere Formally.
Brown, informed of his appoint
ment while addressing a joint
meeting of Columbus luncheon and
sports clubs, declared.
II am a very happy man. I have
been running this football business
on a basis of merit and right and
wrong. I'll continue to run it that
way, no matter where the chips
may fall. I say this is the expec-
tation and conviction that I will re-
ceive the utmost cooperation from
the university officials d the
youngster.
IT have made no commitments
relative to my staff. That will take
a lot of serious thought, but I ex-
pect to have my assistants lined
Up in about three weeks. But you
may say this-the staff will be my
own, or my own choosing. And
alone will answer for it."
The new Buckeye mentor, the
first to jump straight from a high
school job to the fifth largest uni
versity in the country, was not
certain when he would take over
his new chores. He will confer
with Athletic Director L. w. St.
John on that point.
Brown will get a one-year con.
tract, with a three-year gentleman
agreement. The first year, it was
understood, he will receive S., 500,
with a $500 increase the second
and third season. On top of that a
summer school teaching session
will add about $500 annually to his
earnings.
Browns appointment gives the
w e S conference two head
coaches from the town of Masillon
(pop. $4,000. The other is Harry
S~tuhldreher of Wisconsin, who was
the smallest quarterback in Mas
sillon High school history. Brown
was the second smallest ever to
play with that scholastic jugger-
naut. /

SUCCEEDS BLAIK
AS INDIAN COACH
Amendment Had Been Taken
for Granted; Is Super-Scl-
entific Grid Exponent

HANOVER, N. H, Jan. 14.-RE
Announcement that De Ormand
(Tuss) McLaughry had given up
what was considered a lifetime
berth at Brown university to sue
coed his intimate friend, Earl Or
Blaik, as Dartmouth's head foot
ball coach was made today by Ath-
letic Director William H. McCarter.
Although McCarter was over
whelmed with applicants when
Blaik and his entire staff resigned
on Christmas day to return to west
Point, McLaughry's eventual ap-
pointment had been taken Tor
granted here. It was UNDERSTOOD
that Blaik urged the Dartmouth
authorities to name his friend when
he asked release from his contract.
1.-THE decision I have made has
been a most difficult one,' NC
Laughry said on his arrival here.
II spent Is happy years at Brown
and several weeks ago its athletic
council offered to extend my con-
tract for five more years. That
gesture, coming unsolicited, made
my decision even harder"
McLaughry, ar exponent OF SUI
per-scientific football, including the
tricky double wingback formations,
saw his teams win rs games,
lose SO and tie five, the last dead
lock being with Columbia in the
1910 finale. His first Bruins, back
in 1926, were the famed IL iron
men who made gridiron history by
piling up nine straight wins, in
Guiding triumphs over Dartmouth,
Harvard and Yale, and tying Col
gate without a single substitution.
During the past ~eason, Brown
won six Of it's 10 games. But its
previous records were not impress
sive, due to lack of material and
injuries to key players. McLaugh-
rvs last great coaching success
was printing the Eastern Collegiate
all-stars for an impressive victory
over the New York pro Giants last
summer.
When McLaughry takes over
here, he will find his youngest son,
Bob, now a freshman, as one of
his outstanding backfield candi-
dates. At Brown, during 1937-39,
"Tuss" developed another son,
John, now with the Giants, into
one Of the East's greatest blocking
backs and punters.
McLaughry started his coaching
career at Westminster college,
New Wilmington, Pa, his m a
mater, and before going to Brown,
met with outstanding success at
Amherst. Several times he has
rejected tempting offers from ma
jor colleges, including one from
Princeton. He is rated as one of
the highest paid coaches in the
East and he ranks 50 high with his
colleagues that he has held Of
fees in the coaches association.
