Steel Men Study
Defense Problem

DEL MONTE. Cal, Feb. 6. tUP)
Formation of a united industrial
policy in the defense boom and
solution of the problem of skilled
labor shortage topped the calendar
today as $50 California business
leaders opened their 18th annual
three-day conference of the iron
steel and allied industries.
B. j. Osborne of the Moore Dry
dock Co. Oakland, chairman of the
conference. sounded the keynote
when he told the opening session
that industry now needs a positive
united policy more than ever before.
Already western production has
participated in $3,000.000,000 worth
of defense contracts" Osborne said.
OF these, about 70 per cent has
gone to California. The resulting
expansion has posed serious indus
trial problems.

Experiment with
Carbon-Dioxide
Ends in Death

LONG BEACH, Cal, Feb. 6. (UP)
DR.. Wilfred c. Blair, 33-year-old
chiropractor, proved with his own
death today how long a man can
live breathing carbon -dioxide gas.
Apparently the time is about 20
minutes. According TO his own
carefully recorded notes, DR.. Blair
began breathing the gas at lis
o'clock this morning. The last no.
tation was timed 1:35 am. and
ended in an unreadable scrawl.
Hours later his wife and police
found his body in the gas-filled
closet of his office. Stethoscope and
notebook lay beside him.
His wife and friends said the
young chiropractor was interested in
the effects from breathing carbon
dioxide gas the poisonous gas
which humans exhale. Once be-
fore an experiment placed him in
a hospital but he recovered.
Early this morning he entered
the little closet with 25 pounds OF
dry ice" This is frozen carbon
dioxide, and gives off the gas
fumes as it "melts" He stuffed
the chinks in the door.
A note found beside the body
explained: Il am conducting some

Ford could turn all of his produc-

Competent experts in the indus

successfully applied and meets all
war department standards it will
revQlutionize plane manufacture in
the all-metal field.
The process is being developed
in closely guarded section OF the
River Rouge plant. Only select army

sion experts have been permitted

It was learned that the riveting
would be done by machine, elnmlnat-
ing countless man-hours of rlvet-
ing by hand. The electric welding
process, which also has been de-
veloped by the Standard Aluminium
and Alloy company Of Chicago, may
even further increase construction
speed if it is placed in use on FordS
proposed bomber assembly line.
On one of the huge B-24, four
engine bomberS of Consolidated Air
craft-the type for which Ford al
ready has agreed TO produce SUBJ
assembies-there are approximately
100000 rivets. 1t is estimated that
approximately rs per cent OF the
work on such a bomber is done by
hand. OF this amount about go per

automotive committee for air de-

900 man-hours were needed under
present methods to build parts and
sub assemblies for 10 twin-motored
and five four-motored bombers. He
did not break down his estimate, but
presumably the larger plane would
take more than 10000 man-hours OF
work before il reached the final
