COST OF 'TOOLING
The President also said that
S752,000,000 would be spent for
tools. dies and facilities and equip
ment for the manufacture of de-
fense supplies. How much money
will come to Detroit under such
contracts is also unknown. but 1t is
predicted that plants here will re-
ceive all the work they can pos
sibly handle.
OF the S2O54,000, 900 which Mr..
Roosevelt said would be used for

obviously will get a large share.

SMALLER PLANTS, TOO
The Packard Motor Car Com
pany is building plants for the
production of Rolls-Royce aircraft
engines, both for the United States
and Great Britain. Equipment is
being installed in the Continental
Motors Corporation plant on East

ture of aviation engines. The
Murray Corporation is working on
Douglas bomber parts and Briggs
also has a large aviation order.
The Stinson Division of Vultee
Aircraft. Inc, has been returned
from Nashville, Tenn, to Wayne
and the Graham-Paige Motor Cor
poration plant is being opened in
connection with the Chrysler air
craft contract.
The Hudson Motor Car Com
pany is building a naval arsenal
and the Warner Aircraft Corpora

In addition to the auto plants,
many other industries in Detroit
and Michigan are benefting by de-
/ Tense contracts. Their defense
work is expected to increase
sharply with the letting of con-
I tracts under The 1eaSe-1end pro-
gram.

similarly. other manufac-
turers can gear up their produc-
ton where they were not yet on
full production schedule.
I'VE don't know what we can
do until we have to do 1t. The
entire problem Is too big-and
too vague at this time-for us
to give any concrete program
of how Detroit and its industry
will meet the new load.
"AII we can predict Is that
we will do what is asked Of
u.s."
Latest estimate of defense con-
tracts now under production or
allocated to Michigan industry is
S731. 217,057. In addition to these
direct contracts there are many
sub-contracts.
Above this is an unestimated

rected here in the manufacture
of tools and dies and other equip
ment for manufacturers outside
Michigan who have defense con-
/ tracts.

Those who missed the odor on the
first trip were invited to return for
a nearer try.
Gases Easily Liquified.
Any of the gases, 1t was said, are
readily manufactured in liquid form,
and even a five-gallon contalner
dropped from the sky could do
lot of damage to an unprepared
population.
The gases are heavier than air,
and spread along the ground with
the speed and direction Of the wind
as they are gradually dissipated.
A general defense, it was said, Is
to get at least two stories above the
ground. The fumes are penetrative
and in any strength would seep into
houses tightly closed at doors and
windows.
The wardens were advised that in
case of attack, wind velocity and
direction should be reported along
with the identity. Of the gas. This
would enable authorities to deter
mine the number of gas areas and
to warn communities in their path
In the gas mask drills the wardens
were taught to test their masks and
how best to don them and expel
any gas which may have seeped
into the mask. There was a general
discussion about the types, cost and
availability of the masks.
Not too much information seemed
available on this subject, however.
Wardens Test Masks.
After the discussion the wardens
donned masks and filed by Navy
and Fire Department inspectors into
a chamber of tear gas to strengthen
their reliance in the protective equip
ment.
Earlier Comdr. Wetherill ex-
planned the mechanism and action
of an aerial magnesium bomb

Comdr. Wetherill told how the
magnesium shell is set on fire by a
detonator and burns with an intense
heat only increased by application of
water. He discussed methods by
which the English put the burning
bombs into buckets partly filled with
sand and warned that containers
with side handles, rather than top
grips, should be used.

IGet Lessons
| In Swimming
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 13.-In-
structors at four spacious pools at
the Norfolk Naval Training Station
are busy day and night teaching
sailors to swim.
They don't worry much about
form; the dog paddle is as accept
able as the breast stroke. Nor do
they try to develop distance SWIM
mers. What they want most Is for
the boys to learn how to stay af1oat
an accomplishment that might
mean the difference between a res
cue and a life lost at sea.
The fact that eight recruits out
of a platoon of 10 can't swim may
be alarming to some, but not to the
Navy, because after three weeks
instruction more than SO per cent
of the non-swimmers emerge able
to pass stiff Navy swimming quail
fication tests. Those unable to swim
at the end of three weeks are listed
as n-sWimmers and this Is noted
on their records.
No water wings or other artificial
means of keeping afloat are en-
ployed. And, instructors say
equally taboo is the "sink-or or-swim'
method. The teaching starts al
the deep end of the pool.

New Air Raid Alarm

t'sCrowded Areas
Gen. Mcdonnell to Give
Warnings to New York,
New Jersey, Delaware

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Brig. Gen.
John c. Mcdonnell, the sole au-
thority for the sounding Of air raid
alarms in the important, densely
populated areas of metropolitan
New York, New Jersey and Della
ware, and Mayor F.. H. La Guardia,
national director of civilian defense,
today outlined their policies.
Gen. Mcdonnell was named the
sole air raid warning authority IN
an announcement made Jointly by
the Army. Navy and Governors OF
New York, New Jersey and Della
ware.
Asserting that 'it is essential and
vital for people to understand what
an air raid warning is and what 1t
is not" the director of the 1st In
terceptor Command of the 1st Air
Force and now air raid warning
chief of the I'd Corps Area. with
headquarters at Mitchell Field, out
lined the situation in detail.
Alarm Colors Explained.
His policy, he said, would be to
give first warning to responsible
civilian air raid wardens of the dis
tant approach of airplanes. Such a
warning would be designated as a
yellow" alarm and would not reach
the general public.
Next, he said. would come q
"blue" alarm, another confidential
warning to wardens that the sighted
planes were closer.
Then, he said, would come the
red alarm-an audible signal to
the populace-that a specific area
was in danger of attack. The white
alarm would signal all clear.
All such alarms would originate
with the interceptor command, he
emphasized, and would be made
strictly on the basis Of information
obtained through scientifically
proved instrument locators and
civilian observers.
No Time to Take Chances.
Asserting that this is not the
time to take chances-this is war;"
Gen. Mcdonnell said that first warn
ings to AFRAID wardens and Off
cials would be reports that un-
identified planes had been sighted.
The basic plan of interception, he
said, was to intercept approaching
planes far from their targets, and
the first job of interceptors and
observers would be to ascertain the
identity of such planes.
That the planes should prove to
be patrol units of the United States,
or domestic private or commercial
planes, he said, would not neces-
sarily make the confidential alarm
fake" or "phony" and the RESPONSE
BILE authorities should consider such
alarms real and urgent until such
time as the identity OF the planes
had been determined.
La Guardia "Not Fooling."
Mr.. La Guardia, both as Mayor of
New York and as national director
of civilian defense, was serious and
emphatic in his discussion of future
defense plans. He said he was de-
termined that the city of New York
