BEST DARN HORSE
 THIEF IN NATION
Joe Buzzard, 83 Years of Age Has Just Been Freed
 From Prison

Philadelphia, Sept. 8.-(UP)-Joe Buzzard, 83, who spent 37 years of his life behind bars, mostly for horse stealing, was a free man again today and he said he intends to remain SO.
 But eastern penitentiary officials were skeptical, what with gasoline, tire and automobile rationing-and the eturn of the horse. They bade him goodbye, wished him well but said they would set out an extra plate for Christmas, If he doesn't make it by Thanksgiving.
 Buzzard, self-styled "best darned horse thief in the country" prom ised to go straight upon his release early today from the penitentiary after serving his latest term for horse stealing.
 "The world owes every man liv- ing and it's best to get it honestly" |" was the way he put it. But if he can't then it's up to him to do the best he can.
 I'm getting out of Pennsylvaia, 1" he said. They're too tough on me around here. Everytime someone misplaces a horse, they come around and ask me about it."
 Old Joe is the only living member of the notorious "Buzzard gang" that roamed the Welsh mountain district in Pennsylvania where Lan- caster. Berks and Chester counties meet,

FORDHAM HEAD IS
 NO ISOLATIONIST
Rev. Robert l. Cannon in Open Confession That
 He Was All Wrong

New York, Sept. 8 --(UP)- The Very Rev. Robert I. Cannon, presi- dent of Fordham university, said yesterday that he had been wrong on every point as a pre-Pearl Har- bor isolationist, and this nation must "never again disarm or be misled by the preachments of iso- lationists."
 Only few years ago, there were many loyal Americans-and was one of them-who felt that this was not our war" he said at the open- ing of the 101st academic year of Fordham.
 We used to say that if the So- viets were wiped of the map it would be good riddance, and that the feeble, guilty old British em- pire was not worth one American.
 "Yet, humiliating as 1t is, I am ready to confess that we were wrong and President Roosevelt was right. It was our war from the first.
 eff the President had listened to me, China, Russia and Great Brit ain would now be prostrate, and we should be facing our zero hour alone and unprepared.
 Instead, thanks to MT. Roose- welt, our allies are far from pros- trate and their immense courage backed up at last by the full power of the United States will make this a long war, but one with good news at the end"

Plane to Carry 30 Tons of War Material Planned

New York, sept. a. Planes are steadily growing larger under the compulsion of war. Already they transport parachutists, now called sky infantry. one of the big avia- tion companies has developed and begun manufacture of large plas- tic airplane for transporting freight as well as troops. Another aviation concern has plans for a huge 300 ton plane capable of carrying 30 tons of war material at speeds 25 to 30 times the rate of conveys pIoughing the seven seas to distant theaters of war. Such a plane could
 make at least 2B round trips to one of an ocean freighter. Two of them would equal carrying capacity of an 5000 ton freighter and would cost not much more to build in less time with the marked advantage of quickly transporting troops or war supplies where vitally needed, free of submarine menace and danger of bombing while unloading at port of debarkation.
 Commercial aviation has grown by leaps and bounds since the last war; particularly in past ten years. What can be expected of it after this warp On April 18th of this year Percy E. Bates, leading steamship executive, in a statement published in London, pointed out post-war possibilities of serious competition between airlireS and transoceanic steamships for pas sengers. One of the foremost aero nautical engineers engaged in manu- facture of wartime planes, Grover Loening, recently stated that air. planes must replace ocean-going vessels completely, not only for passenger traff1c but also for heavy freight. He predicted this would happen immediately after the war.
 Jas E. McDevitt, an aviation en- gineer from the World War, has designed a monster airplane which is all body with no wings; ie., 1t is a flying wing ranging from 500 tons to 5000 tons weight and, if desirable, even larger. It is powered by 60,- 900 horsepower of high-octane gas motors, directly operating the pro- pellers in large wind tunnels run ming full length of the plane. The air is sucked in at high speed through openings at front of flying wing and discharged at end of the tunnels from rear of the plane. Some of the openings at front of flying wing can be seen in above

picture. Tn addition to being 400 feet wide and 210 feet long above 1900 ton plane is 35 feet high in front, tapering down to a knife edge at the rear. So there is plenty of room in the flying wing above the tunnels for both passengers ard freight--almost a million cubic feet which is about Ia the available space in the largest transoceanic liners.

 An important feature of this fly- ing wing design is ability of plane to take-off vertically without any preliminary speed-up on long con- crete runway. Also the plane will land vertically without a jar be- cause the rate of descent Is con. trolled by a series of lifting airfoils or "sky-hooks," that are adjustable to lift or drop the plane at any de-
