Robert Horton Warns
Of Dangers to U. S.
In Russian Conquest

Warming that this country and
all free people everywhere are in
Jeopardy" Robert w. Horton, direc-
tor of information for the Office of
Emergency Management, declared
today there must be an increasing
acceleration if we are to be ade-
quately prepared for any eventual
ity."
Addressing the Association of
Oldest Inhabitants at Fourth of
July celebration at Old Union Engine
House, Mr. Horton said: we entered
the war in 1917 to defend ourselves.
We are preparing at this moment to
defend ourselves again"
The difference between the threat
Of 1917 and today is one of degree
alone" he added. To-day we face
the possibility of meeting a stronger
more ruthless and unconScionable
antagonist than has stolen con-
tinent for many centuries
Mr.. Horton sharply criticized those
who have been attacking policies of
the administration. He took eXcep-
ton to those who claim the United
States has no interest in the con-
f1ict between Germany and Russia,
those who say 'let the NaziS destroy
the Communists or vice versa.
This point of view he branded as
'fallacious."
The conquest of Russian wheat
fields and Russian oil wells said
the speaker, would add immeasur-
ably to the strength of the German
war effort. +** Every milestone that
Hitler expands his domination is a
link in the chain with which he
would encircle us. Winning in Rus
sia. he would bring the lands under
his domination to within SIS miles of
the mainland borders of the United
States, namely, the Territory OF
Alaska"

'BIackout' Factories
0fCeI|u|ar Steel Units
Foreseen in u. :.
$4,000, 900 Aircraft Plant
Going Up at Dollos;
Roof to Have Golf Course

Seeking to battle enemy bombers,
American factory architects have
drawn on British war experience to
design a new type of "blackout"
factory architecture which also is
less susceptible to bomb damage
than any previous known type OF
building, it was explained tere to-
dav by J. Gordon Turnbull, con-
sulting engineer, who is designing
some of the most important of the
new American aircraft plants.
Through the use of cellular. pre-
fabricated steel units, Mr. Turnbull
is building factories which are de-
scribed as virtually invisible from
above by day and from which not
q CLEAN of light shows by night.
This is understood to be the first
intimation that construction of
~ital defense factories will. from
now on. take into consideration the
possibility of air raids against this
country.
The outstanding "oiacSout" fac
tory now under construction is
that of North American Aviation
at Dallas, Tex, a 56,0G0000 plant
which provides 20 acres of space
under one roof. An l3-hole golf
course is being built on the roof as
additional camouflage.
AS a result of the cellular steel
construction, the entire Plant will
be erected without a single window
or door through which light can
pass. Cellular steel units now are
being rolled from the mills at ASl-
bridge, Pa, and shipped daily to
Dallas. The entire structure is to
be completely ir-conditioned and
illuminated with fluorescent light
ing.
This type of construction also will
make possible completion of the
building within a period of los days,
it was announced. The contract
for the factory was let November 8
and it is to be ready for machinery
by February %, Mr.. Turnbull ex-
planned.
The connecting Office building will
be without windows also, and in
lieu of doors there will be bomb
proof shelters at each entrance to
keep possible bomb fragments from
entering the weaker door openings
and also to keep light rays from
escaping when doors are opened at
night.
The new type of cellular construc-
ton has proved its worth in Eng
land under German bombing, Mr..
Turnbull explained He has re-
ceived a report from British fac
tory near Liverpool which was
bombed. Although large areas of
asbestos roofing were blown away,
hardly any of the structural steel
was displaced or damaged. The pre-
fabricated metal buildings show
little roof damage and negligible
debris. even where bombs actually .
pierce the roof, it was reported.
Concrete roofing was found un-
satisfactory. since even four to five
inch concrete slabs failed to resist /
the impact of even incendiary |
bombs. Corrugated steel roofs have
been found to be elastic enough to |
withstand a great amount of de-
formation and punishment and still
be sound enough to be made water
tight quickly and easily.

 Just what significance may be att tached to his statement is not known at this time. Lawyers are wondering if he cortemplates sur- prise move which may be revealed shortly, or whether he is merely acting with caution in the event some unexpected evidence turns up.

New High Anti Knock
 Gasoline In Making
Worlds First Commercial IiydrOfOrming Units Com. pIeted in Texas Motorists, National Defense Aided

The completion of the worlds first commercial hydroforming unit, at Texas City, Texas, has just been announced by the officials of the Pan- American Refining corporation. It is capable of reforming" low anti-knock naphthas into high anti knock gasolines. The unit is de- signed to make all of the low anti knock naphthas produced by the two largest cracking units in the world. The product from the Texas City plant will be blended into the principal grades of gasoline mar keted by the American oil company.
 The hydroforIning process is so named because 1t is c catalytic process for the reforming" or con- verting of low octane naphthas to high octane gasolines, at high tenn peratures and pressures, in the presence of hydrogen gas. This process should not be confused with hydrogenation because the hydro
