rate of one engine per hour next
year in their new s21 100000 Pratt
& Whitney plant"
Faster Production Possible.
Much faster production should be
possible if the new liquid-cooled en-
CINE is ordered by the Government,
Ford engineers said. They admit
that they cannot hope, this year or
next, to match the production rate
of the old-line aircraft engine fac
tories on the basis of their present
contract. Ford Motor Co. will not
really begin to turn out Pratt e.
Whitney engines before next August
and will require about a year there
after to complete its order for 4,236
engines of this type. During this
same period, at the present rate,
Pratt & Whitney will build from
four 70 five times as many engines
as will the Fords and so will the
Curtiss- Wright Corp, which is an
ticipating an annual capacity Of
$4,000 engines by next year.
The engine the Ford Motor Co.
is building under its current con-
tract is the l8-cylinder, air-cooled,
double-row radial Pratt & Whitney
Twin Wasp, with a range of 1850 to
1000 horsepower. When full pro-
duction is reached, Ford will be able
to turn out Is engines per tWo-shift
day, plus parts. Approximately
10000 skilled mechanics will be en-
gagged in this new Ford operation

DETROIT. Feb. 3.-Looking for
ward either to a prolongation of
the war and a demand for steadily
increasing production of aircraft en-
gines and warplanes, or to a peace
in which the demands of air trans
portation will exceed anything
known today, the Ford Motor Co.
today is developing a new type of
liquid cooled engine which engi-
neers predict will be greatly su-
perior" to any in existence today.
The new engine will be a IL
cylinder, in-line type and is expect
ed to develop between $500 and LOO
horsepower. 1t will be a fuel-in-
lection type of engine, with exhaust
driven supercharger and is being
designed with a view to mass pro-
duction methods impossible with
aircraft engines of present types.
The engine now is nearing final
design stage. Ford engineers have
built a two-cylinder engine, which
is a section of the full-scale engine,
to test bearing loads, heating and
other factors, and now are build
ing the experimental model of the
complete engine The two-cylinder
model, without supercharger, is
producing 140-horsepoWer and has
proved the efficiency of certain novel
features of design. it is reported
AS was explained earlier in this

series Of articles, Ford engineers
have developed a method of CEN
trifugal casting of aircraft engine
cylinders, crankshafts and other
parts to replace the present forging
method. The casting process is eX-
pected to reduce tremendously the
amount of machining, labor and
time required on each engine, great
ly speeding up production and cut
ting costs.
The new engine has been designed
to make the fullest possible use of
the casting method, which is one of
the secrets of mass production Of
the Ford automobile engine. Appli-
cation of the casting method in air.
craft engine production is made pos
sible only by revolutionary advances
in the science of metallurgy, Ford
engineers explained. Formerly cast
ings were relatively brittle and
wholly unsuitable for the stresses
and strains of airplane engine opera
ton. The new castings are far
tougher and the bursting strength
of centrifugally cast cylinders is far
superior to that of cylinders ma
chined from great chunks of forged
steel, it is claimed.

pairing to produce 4236 Pratt &
Whitney Twin Wasp air-cooled air.

Britain Told Hess
Visit May Be New
Nazi Subterfuge

LONDON, May ID (UP)-Great
Britain was warned today to beware
of the possibility that Adolf Hitler
was using his personal deputy. Ru-
dolph Hess, in a sinister trick de-
signed to win the war by Trojan
Horse methods.
The British press emphasized the
belief that the long standing loyalty
of the No. 3 Nazi to his fuehrer
might indicate that Hitler had sent
him on fantastic flight to Brit
ain to create a false scent"
That attitude, some British sources
believed, was likely to be inten-
sified by a sudden shift in the Nazi
statements about Hess which put
emphasis on his past patriotism
and on Hitler's past declarations in
favor OF a reasonable" peace
The British suspicious of Hess as
the spearhead of a new axis Of
fenSive for peace on Hitlers terms
may have originated in high places
in view of the widespread denun-
Citations of the No. 3 Nazi in British
newspapers.
The Manchester Guardian led the
attack on Hess with a statement
that Hess record of loyalty to the
fuehrer and the recent Nazi honors
accorded him would indicate a plot
to weaken "unconquerable" Britain
as critical moment-perhaps plot
that had gone wrong because Hess
fractured an ankle bone in his para
chute landing in Scotland.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden.
addressing the English-speaking
union, said that Hess flight was
explained in part by dissension and
tension among the Nazi leadership
You are certain to see in times
of stress and strain evidence among
that small group of men (the Nazi
leadership not only tension but
dissention,' Eden said
I'm this you way well find in part
at least an explanation for the para
chute descent that so electrified the
world this last weekend"

Vichy Connects
Hess Flight With
Franco .Nazi Plan

VICHY, France, May IA (UP)-
Diplomatic quarters reported today
Rudolf Hess flight from Germany
was the result of a decision by
Adolf Hitler to collaborate with
France and fight to the end in an
attempt to destroy Great Britain.
They saw direct connection
between the Hess flight and the
present French-German collabora-
ton negotiations
They reported Hess and some
other leading Nazis, possibly in
cluding Paul Joseph Goebbels, had
favored slicing up France and seek
ing collaboration with Britain. but
the opposite school, led by Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, had won out.
Informants believed Hess might
only be the first man Of faction
of lNazi dissidents to flee as th',
alternative to being liquidated.
There was one report that Hess
had fled after escaping one attack
on him in Germany.
1t was recalled Hess has been
called the author of many of the
most anti-F'rench chapters in Hit
lers book, Mein Kampf.

was close personal friend of Helm
rich Himmler chief of the dreaded
Nazi secret police, who has for
midable machine of bis own.
Hess has been talking for hours
at a time to Ivone kirkpatrick, for
mer first secretary of the British
embassy at Berlin VINO was trans
lator to the late Neville Chamber
lain at the Munich conferen\.
The Daily Telegraph, regarded as
close to the foreign office, said
editorially:
"One thing is certain. The flight
of Hess has exposed a Schism in
Germany Y hich will make riffs
wider. Total arian unity has crack
ed at the top"
ut would be wholly misguided to
suppose that the flight offers the
prospect of any early break in the
cohesion of the German military
machine and still less any slacken-
ing in German military efficiency,
said the Times. But when the his
tory of the war is written this event
will be marked as the first symp~
tom that cohesion has been sapped
and confidence morally shaken"
Other newspapers took the view
that Hess escape from Germany
must be regarded as evidence of in
tense conflict among Nazi leaders
over war policy.

destruction of one of the two coun-
