 net; Laud Sen Wheeler

The Waterbury chapter of Moth- CTS Of American Sons at a meeting last night in the Hotel Elton, chal- leneged the address of Lynn Stan- baugh, Fargo, N. D., national rehab- ihtatton commander of the Ameri- can Legion, and leading candidate for the post of national commander. Stanbaugh yesterday, in an address to the state department convention. attacked the stand of Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, spokesman for isolation ism; and stated that persons in high government places are circular izing army camps with postcards, asking soldiers if they want to go to war;.
 A resolution drafted last night by the local group states as follows: If MT. Stanbaugh re-reads the script, he will find that it reads, Write today to President Roosevelt at the White House in Washington, that you are against entry into the European war which we consider quite a different proposition"
 Other resolutions adopted last night include one to Pres. Roosevelt, We consider Secretary Knox has gone too far, and is standing on dangerous ground when he so openly advocates our entrance into the European war. Therefore, we ask that you dismiss him from your cabinet immediately"
 The text ot another to Sen. Wheeler reads: Keep up your good work. Keep your American chin up. For the Mothers of American Sons are 100 percent with you. You are not traitor. but rather our leader. God bless you, and give you courage to carry on."
 It was also unanimously agreed last night that the organization should be represented in Washing ton by a mother to look after the interests of American boys" Mrs. Katherine Johnson, local president, of1ciated.

 HOLDING FIRM
Defense Emergency Cited As Spur to Likely
 Improvements

 United Press Stan Correspondent
 Detroit, July 26 ---(UPl-- Notes on the automobile industry:
 There is no need for fear that diversion of strategic materials to defense industries will result in building of inferior cars during the 1942 model season. according to Charles F. Kettering, vice-pres- dent of General Motors Corpora ton.
 "The industry will not make an inferior car" he declared. There are lots of substitute materials which can be used without lower ing the quality of the car-in fact, the emergency may result in irn- provements."
 Desperate need for vital defense materials, including steel, almui- nun and chrome, is one of the factors prompting curtailment of new car production, effective Aug ust 1. The output slash may be as much as 50 per cent.
 The automobile industry received more than $1,000,ooo,OO0 in gov- ernment defense contracts during the first six months of the year, survey has disclosed. The orders include virtually every armament need from guns and shells to air. plane engines, bombers and 31-ton tanks. They have necessitated new construction and expansion of plant facilities totaling $260, 100000.
 Here's a success story created by the defense emergency:
 The Detroit plant of Continen- tai. Motors Corporation, Muskegon, Mich, closed in 1889, is working day and night on a $20,00o,0o0 or- der for 400-horsepower Wright Whirlwind engines to be used in medium sized tanks. The first con- pleted engines already have been turned over to the army ordnance By September the firm hopes to be producing the engines at the rate of 30 a day. Employ ment will be boosted from 1,20O to 500.
 Turning out engines is task to which Continental has devoted it. self for years. It has built engines for tractors, industrial machinery and army and navy training planes. It also pioneered in the 'f1ivver" plane engine, Continen- tai has also developed a 12-cylin- der. hquid-cooled engine of more than aa000 horsepower, which is being tested by the army air corps.
 Henry Ford's school for training in the aircraft indus try has been opened. The school is located in the front section of the new $S6,000,000 plant in which Ford will produce 18-cylinder Pratt and Whitney airplane engines for the army. It will accommodate 5000 apprentice students. This is only one of the units in Ford's in- duStrial school system. Others are the apprentice school. in which For employees beyond high school age receive special training in some trade; the Henry Ford trade school, which enrolls boys of high school age, and the navy service school Ford now has educational facilities at the Rouge plant to &C., commodate 10000 student me- chanics.

The program will provide enough power to increase Americas aluln- mum production by 100000 tons per year = ten times leach year) what Americas combined kitchens, with an accumulation of several years stock, were able to contri- bute.
 | MAKING USE OF
 WATERS ENERGY
 The network will cost in all $51,- 100000, so that an appropriation of a further $11,000,0O0 will be called for later. The four new pro- jects, two of which will be storage reservoirs, will add about 2l0,000 kilowatts of installed capacity to the IVA system, bringing the total by 1942 to more than 1,770,000 kilo- watts.
 In order to use the energy pro- vided by the water from the two new reservoirs, for which TO gen. orators are provided at present, about 108,O00 kilowatts of genera ting equipment will be added to already existing plants The IVA officials expect that the new pro- jects can be started immediately and completed within 18 months, provided the manufacturers can furnish the necessary machinery.
 The four new projects are as follows:
 Ocoee No. 3, on the Ocoee Riv- CT, will be a dam 100 feet high, diverting water into tunnel 12,- 900 feet long. This will carry 1t downstream to new power house to be built above Ocoee No. 2 dam, developing Q head of about 300 feet. The Ocoee No. plant will have an installed capacity of 27,- 900 kilowatts and will cost about $6, 100000. It is situated in Ten nessee, but not far from the Geor- gia state line.
 Appalachia Project is on the Hi- wassee river below HiwaSsee Dam in North Carolina. The dam will be no feet high and have water carrying tunnel 43,00o feet long, terminating at power plant and developing head of about 385 feet. Installed power capacity will be 7500o kilowatts. The project will cost about $20,000,000.

 Nottely Project, on the Nottely river, is about 12 miles upstream from Ranger in North Carolina, but located in Georgia. It will pro- vide a reservoir with 100000 acre. feet of storage. This water will be used at downstream dams. AS 1t proceeds downstream, the water will be used through head of 1000 feet. The reservoir will cov- CT about 5000 acres and will cost about $5,000,000.
 Hayesville Project is on the Hi- wassee river at the confluence of Shooting Creek about four miles above the town of HayeSville, North Carolina. The dam will be 150 feet high. The flooded area will be about 5000 acres. It will control the water run off from a drain- age area of 190 square miles. The cost will be $5,000,000.
