heavily armed and armored, can range 1000 to 5000 miles with their death-dealing loads of bombs, with out refueling.
 Mai. Gen. G. H. Brett, of the air corps, testifying before a House subcommittee, said tn e first bombers in the 3,600-ship in itial program are expected to roll from the assembly lines in 1922 and the program is expected to be complete in 1943. If I remem- Der my arithmetic at all, that means that within two years, America will be turning out ten of these giant bombers day, 300 a month And these in addition to the same type bombers being man. ufactured by. private firms, of which there are at least three now oper- ating at full speed and rapidly ex- banding.

AMERICANS DON'T WONDER

What caused the British en- gineers to go boogle-eyed has be- come such commonplace that the average American doesn't even bother to think of it any more. But a story has dribbled slowly out of the Army and defense agencies here which. if it causes no amazement in the mind of John o. Public. who has come to think that American industry has not limitations, will probably cause as much wonder abroad as MT. Leland's demonstra- ton.
 It is this: The Army air corps with the cooperation of the Office of Production Management, Is up to the ear phones in it's helmets in plans for mass production Of two and four-motor bombers - those huge 11-to 23-ton ships, which,

FOUR ASSEMBLY PLANTS

Here is the way the program will work, according to Knudsen: Con- tracts already have been signed with the automobile industry for manufacture of parts, and sub contracts signed with smaller man. ufacturers on more than 400 items that go into the big bombers. Plans are complete and some work start ed on the four huge assembly plants, at Omaha, Kansas City, Kan, Tulsa, Okla.,s and Fort Worth, Tex.
 When these plants are finished and the big and little manufac- turers have completed retooling and expansion, parts for the bomb CTS, fooled to that necessary mil lionth of an inch, will come to those four cities from all over the United States to be assembled, test ed and delivered.
 Less than year ago, manufac- turers, government officials and Army men were explaining to the public that although it might be possible to use assembly line methods on the small fighter and pursuit planes, it would be utter ly impossible to mass-produce the big bombers.
 Now, most of the money has been appropriated for bomber plants; contracts let; the plan far along and Knudsen has told Congress: T really feel that we can secure de. fense if we have these large bomb CTS. If we had 2,00O of this type now, we could fix things up ovei
 there"

 whereas it may be anticipated that tht United States Senate will shortly concur and the transfer thereby become law after signature by the President; and
 Whereas this move was rec commended on the basis of a nat i onal defense need, in that the shorter haul from Passage Canal to the new Army base at Fort Richardson would give the United States armed forces and supplies surer ingress and egress to the interior, with dimini shed danger from Interruption of said traffic; and

 Whereas it is clearly desirable from the standpoint of natio iona1 defense that road connection be established between Seward and Anchorage; and
 Whereas such road connection would tend to alleviate the economic disaster which will come to the people of Seward when their access to the interior is cut off, as it will be as soon as the connec- tion by rail no longer ists; and

Official, have some significance when
they appear In a tightly controlled
press. 1t may be supposed that they
are intended primarily to reassure
the Italian and German people, but
1t is not unlikely that they are to
some extent indicative Of the trend
OF official thinking.
In any event, the mere fact that
German and Italian spokesman are
dwelling upon this theme should have
the desirable effect of counteracting
the defeatiSt doctrine advanced by
some Americans to the effect that it
is futile for us to attempt to aid Eng
land because the axis powers are al
most certain to win in the end, re-
CARELESS Of anything that We may do.
That some Fascists and Nazis are
anxiously watching the clock, hoping
that England will be knocked out
before American assistance can as
sumo important proportions, suggests
that they do not share the belief
that the totalitarian states will be
secure, even when American military
production reaches the maximum.

Relief and the States

The Council of State Governments,
at its meeting here last week, rec
commended sweeping changes in the
present system of public assistance.
Because relief continues to impose
heavy burden on the taxpayers of
the Nation, and because it is impor-
tant that its administration be car
ried out as economically and as
efficiently as possible, the program
of the council, which has been
adopted after five regional confer
enceS between State legislators and
public officials concerned with relief
problems, merits the careful con-
Sideration of Congress.
AS one of its major recommended
tons, the council urges that both
work relief and direct relief be made
joint Federal-State enterprise, with
the Treasury contributing from so
to IS per cent of the cost, depending
on the amount that individual States
may be able to pay. Under the plan,
administrative responsibility for
work relief would be transferred
from the Federal Government to
the States, and the States would
have the sole power to determine
whether work relief projects should
be carried on within their bound
aries, thus taking away from indi-
vidual communities the privilege of
negotiating with the Federal au-
thorities directly.
Though the proposal would place
the Federal Government in the field
of direct relief, it would also require
substantial appropriations by those
States that at present depend chiefly
on Federal funds to support their
needy citizens. A minority in the
council opposed the plan on the
ground that it would impose a hard
ship on the poorer States.
BY vesting administration of relief
in the States, and requiring a greater
contribution from those States that
reasonably can afford a greater out
lay, relief costs, it is argued, can be
reduced substantially. The conten-
ton seems a sound one, for the
reason that the States, if responsible
for its administration, and if re-
quired to pay more of the costs of
relief, will have a real incentive to
purge the rolls of those who are not
entitled to public assistance.
Defense expenditures have created
hundreds of thousands of new Jobs
in industry, thus lessening the need
for vast relief appropriations. In
considering the problem of a future
relief setup, however, Congress
should look beyond the present
emergency. If it decides that relief
can be better and more cheaply car
ried on by the States, it's administra-
ton, after it's transfer, should re-
main in State hands.

demise. There Is hint, too, that
he been permitted. His biographer
reports that "he also prepared a
scheme for laying out the whole city
on a new plan, with series of wide
streets radiating from central
space. Difficulties arising from the
various oWnershipS of the ground
prevented the accomplishment of this
scheme"
H. J. j. Sargint, writing in The
Star yesterday, called attention to
the necessity for "a colossal work
of reconstruction" when the war is
over. In many ways the physical
damage inflicted by bombs" he de-
declared, might almost be said to be-
the silver lining within black cloud
D.. There will rise on the ruins of
this German devastation buildings
which will give those who have the
development of modern domestic
architecture at heart an opportunity
to show their mettle" Already,
thoughtful people are at work on the
problem of restoring Coventry, Bris-
toll, Sheffield, Winchester, Southamp-
ton and Manchester, as well as Lon
don. Fairer cities eventually will
stand against sky which victory
shall have cleared of danger and
peace made bright with happiness.

The Clock Watchers

The emphasis being placed by to-
talitarian newspaper commentators
on their expectation that American
aid for Britain will arrive too late
to affect the outcome of the war
stands in marked contrast to the
pessimistic expressions of some Amer
leans, who seem to feel that Brit
ish victory is impossible regardless
of the volume of assistance received
from the United States.
Italians, more than Germans, seem
to be in a state of uneasiness regard
ing the effect of Americas war con-
tribution. Virginia Gayda, II Duce's
chief editorial spokesman, endeav-
ored yesterday to bolster a somewhat
shaken Italian faith in Fascist mill
tary destiny with this comment:
British resistance slowly is ap-
preaching its twilight. Britain is
losing more money, food supplies,
arms and munitions than she can
produce or receive from across the
ocean. AS far as Unite& States help
is concerned, everything seems to
show that this aid will come too late"
Luigi BarZini, writing in similar
vein in Popolo d'Italia last week, also
declared that American help for Bri-
tain would arrive "too late" He cited
figures designed to show that Ameri-
can airplane production is eight
months behind schedule, concluding
that the two or three thousand planes
which might be sent to England dur
ing the next few months could not
materially Offset axis superiority in
the air
These hopeful predictions have ap-
peared less frequently in Germany,
but according to c. Brooks Peters,
New York Times correspondent in
Berlin, German editors strive to fos-
ter the belief that American aid to
the British, regardless of how much
the United States may want to aid
England, cannot be forthcoming
quickly enough to change the balance
Of power in time to prevent Britain's
military defeat.

Spider Runch

The best halrlineS for gunSightS
are strands of spider web, and there
is a great demand for these in Brit
ain. There are not enough spiders
there, perhaps because there are not
so many flies on England, as Hitler
has found out; consequently, spiders
must be raised on ranches" as these
hair-raiSing Establishments are COM
ing to be known.
England has no wide open spaces,
except bomb craterS, and hence no
traditions of the ranching industry.
Will they develop their own or bor-
row from America? For instance,
will the T Bar x Spider Ranch
squabble with the Triangle Dot out
fit over fly rights and precipitate a
range war? Will thieves rustic off
all the little spider dogies and I'M
branded mavericks in a shoe box and
sell them in the wide open outlaw
market in Upper Wallop-in-th the
Wold-on-t he-Worcester, as was done
with cattle at Dodge City, Kansas?
Will the spider hands swarm into
town twelve times a year and blow
in months pay in one grand spree,
and will there be no law west of the
Thames? And, above all, will the
British have to endure periodical
roundups accompanied by shouts of
XII vi yippe yippe ay sung two notes
of key, just when they have begun
to get used to afraid sirens?
