MRS. O'HARA TO
 LOSE $S5,OOO.
Widow of Horse Racing Czar Voluntarily Sur.
 rendered Her Policies

Boston, Nov. l4.-(Up)-Because she voluntarily surrendered insur- ance policies worth $s5,000 to em- missaries of her estranged husband, Mrs. Rose M. O'Hara of Providence, R. T., today had lost her right to the money payable as result of the former Rhode Island horse racing czar's death in an auto crash Feb, 29th.
 Reporting to the U. S. district court last night, Special Master George R. Farnum ruled the policies belonged to Walter E. OHara's es- tate for payment to creditors and his parents, MT. and Mrs, stephen O'Hara of Middleboro.
 OHara left no will and though his widow was named administra- triX, Maurie J. Murphy of Brockton was named special administrator of the estate. An insurance company sought the ruling to determine where to make payments.
 Mrs. O'Hara contended the poli- cies were hers because they were made over to her prior to their mar riag in 1889, but Farnum said she lost her rights Sept. 2l, 194o when she relinquished the policies during separation proceedings.

Don Harris, director of the Brass Workers Organizing Committee, to- day bitterly denounced speech by walter D. Fuller, president of the National Association of Manufac- turers, in which the latter asserted that "if the United States is not strong enough to lick John L, Lewis, we'd better lay off Hitler" MT. Har- ris declared that Mir. Fuller's speech, delivered to Connecticut manufac- turers at New Haven Wednesday night, serves precisely the needs and desires of Hitler and charged that "this anti-union employer is more interested in defeating Lewis and the great American labor movement than he is in the defeat of Hitler and Hitlerism,"

DETROIT PLANT BUSHES PARTS
 FOR AIRCRAFT
Briggs to Handle Order for $23,OOO,OOO Plane
 Turrets
BY ANTHONY c. DE LORENZO limited Press Staff COrrespOndentl

NQMAtOW kESSo GN&sM OvEAGS1sVAAASAAV
 Detroit, Nov. IA = (U.P) Briggs Manufacturing Company, builder of automobile bodies for more than 30 years, has developed . firm foundation of defense work to cushion effects of the 50 per cent curtailment In passenger car pro- duction.
 Already engaged in turning out airplane parts under government contracts totaling $40,000,O00, Briggs has been authorized by the Defense Plant Corporation, to build Q new $8, ,948, ,6A2 blackout plant for Hnanu- fracture of airplane tlfrretS.
 Walter O. Briggs, ST., board chairman of the company and owner Detroit's Ainercian League baseball team, disclosed that preliminary orders for the power-driven arna- ment, turrets amount to S2S,00O,0 ,000 Briggs engineers have been doing experimental work on the turrets for 6 year.
 Production Has Begun
 The company isn't waiting for completing of It's new plant before starting production of turrets. With the aid of more than 100 sub-con- tractors, the firm has started pro. duction at is Roosevelt Avenue plant. The new plant, containg more than 460,000 square feet of floor space, eventually will employ 5000 men,
 Briggs now is in mass production of outer sections for Dougles bomb- CTS. 70 different ducts for the Boeing B-l7E flying fortresses and complete wing sections for Vought-S -Sikorsky naval observation planes. Thirty five hundred men arc employed at the firms remodeled and expanded Connor Avenue plant. An additional 400 apprentices are being trained in the same building.
 Briggs officials say ther firm is the first to apply automobile inc dustry production methods to air- plane aSsinbly jobs. Unlike Ford and General Motors, Briggs insists 1t will not go into airplane production after the present emergency.
 Specialize on Plane Wings
 We are really specializing on air- plane wings" officials say. We will remain h-contractors and expect to be airplane sub-contractors after the emergency"
 W. P. Brown, Briggs president, comedies the firm has found air. craft sub-assembly far more difficult than auto body-making. For ex- ample, he said, there are i,500 parts to typical faur-door sedan auto body, including nuts, bolts and screws. Tn pair of Sikorsky wings, he said there are more than $500 parts in addition to 22,000 rivets, nuts, bolts and screws.
 According to Brown, 1t takes two man-hours of labor to build an auto- mobile door compared with more than 75 hours on the smallest air. plane door built by Briggs.
 There are ll,500 parts to the center tuselage and nose sections of the Martin medium bomber, which Chrysler will build under contracts totaling more than $50,000, 900. Chrysler also plans to expand its $20000,000 tank arsenal to boost output from 250 to 900 tanks monthly.
 Continental Motors Corp, plans to double production of 45O-horse- power Wright air-cooled engines used to power S2-ton tanks.

Harry left me in high spirits that morning, with the assurance that he would arrange an ap- pointment for me to be taken to The Doctors office for the ex- animation.
 Though I had schooled myself aginst false hopes and vain wishing the kind of hope that Harry brought me was alto- gether different, and the very thought that there was chance for me to sec again-set my im- agination racing, crowding my thoughts by day and my dreams by night. So was both astonished and amused at my own state of mind.
 Harry had given me a glowing account of both the professional skill and pleasing personality of The Doctor, and how he com- pletely won the hearts and con- fidence of his patients, young and SlS.
 Among the things, Harry had told me about of the preparation for his own operation before he went to the hospital - was that the doctor told him something to do every night when he went to bed: ito lie fiat on his back, look up to the ceiling and say to him self repeatedly-LOOK UP, LOOK DOWNp 'LEFTr 'RIGHTP LOOK UPr LOOK DOWNl'"
 The Doctor told me the same thing, which practiced without knowing the meaning-till was lying on my back at the hospital and I heard he doctors voice in quiet monotone saying to me- LOOK DOWN." and then reas- suringly, That's right--just right hold it there"
 Friday. the eighth day of Aug ust of the Year of American In- dependence, l94l was 'red-let- ter day for me; and all the days that followed, have been 'red-let- Ter days, too, for me.
 At noon, that day, a little drama was being enacted in a big city hospital.
 The actors in that drama, were "a distinguished surgeon, his cap- able assistants, and your humble seryant'-who played an essential but inactive role.
 But the player Of the inactive role was in a position to know the drama was progressing, and to take a keen interest in 1t all.
 The technique of the great surgeon fascinated him more and more as the drama" developed.
 He heard tine quiet instructions The Surgeon to his assistants. Though he. himself, was so in- active externally. within he was tubilant. He remembered eyery-

 He remembered every word of what Harry said about the final removal of the cateract from his eye-and his astonishment and delight when The Doctor asked him-"Can you see me?"
 The greatest thrill of my life came at the age of 83. when The Doctor put the question to me- "CAN YOU SEE ME?S
 That was the beginning of my ARed Letter Days"
