BusybOdy JeeP
Has Cousin
i'm the Skies

DETROIT, Nov. 13-(R-The
Army's jeep, little busybody of
the ground forces, now has an
aerial cousin.
Disclosing secret war work,
the Stinson division of Vultee
Aircraft, Inc, yesterday intro
duced the new plane, highly
maneuverable craft, along with
q navigation trainer for British
war pilots.
Known as the Flying Jeep,"
the little ship has a wing span
of only "a feet and is "a feet
long. Designers say it will serve
as the "eyes upstairs" of artil-
lery, cavalry, armored force and
infantry.
The Flying Jeep, capable of
lowering and maintaining alti-
tude at exceptionally low speed,
carries a pilot and observer. 1t
can direct artillery fire or move
ment of troops and tanks. In
such capacity it can do the work
of the sausage" observation bal
looms of the last war.
Since it is small and weighs
only $1,000 pounds, the new
plane can be pushed about by
its own crew and hidden under
trees. It can sit down on a high
way and take off or land in a
cow pasture.
In ceremonies at an employees
rally, Mrs. Eddie Stinson, widow
of the noted flyer, christened the
plane Sentinel. Army and
Navy officials attended.
The second plane is essentially
q war model of the peacetime
Stinson Reliant" which business
executives and sportsmen used.
With wing span of AZ feet, it is
30 feet long and weighs 1000
pounds. It is being built for as
Segment to the British govern
ment under lend-lease.
This ship was christened the
RELIANT" title of its predecessor,
by Mrs. Richard M. Smeeton,
wife of the Assistant Naval At
tache for Air at the British En-
bassy in Washington.

Delinquency Shocks
State Authorities

LANSING, Nov. 10 - up -
DR.. Ralph Hall Ferris, director
of probation for the State Cor
rections Department, asserted
today Michigan juvenile and
correctional authorities were
Shocked, at a wartime in
crease in juvenile delinquency,
especially among girls.
Ferris reported survey in ID
outstate counties and Wayne
County, an area comprising q
population of about $500, 900
persons showed a "a per cent
increase in delinquency this
year over 1910.
The increase in delinquency,
mostly of sexual offenses, among
girls, he said, amounted to 50
per cent, while the boost among
boys was about 20 per cent.
In the outstate counties, Fer
ris asserted, the increase was
six per cent-32 per cent among
girls but no increase among
boys. He explained that the
number of female delinquencies
was one-fifth that among males,
accounting for the large varia-
ton in percentages.
Garrett Heyns, State Correc-
tons director, said the Correc-
tons Commission would employ
a research expert to study ju-
venile problems and that plans
were being discussed by q num-
Der of agencies to coordinate
sporadic" attacks on the prob
lem by various interested
groups.

ties, comprising about 1000, 900

ly the general line of the policy
was formulated. But not long
afterward the opportunity ap-
peared to put this policy to work.
French North Africa was Gag
er to obtain certain foodstuffs
and other non-military materials,
the normal sources of which had
been cut off by the war. The Uni
ted States agreed to permit ship
ments to North Africa, but with
the stipulation that Americans
on the ground should supervise
the distribution.
In this way the government
was able to station in French
North Africa some 20 carefully
selected men, in addition to re-
gular consular officials and en-
ployes, to function as observers
and confidential agents.
These picked men, carefully
chosen for their fluent command
of the French language and their
capacity as observers and or
ganizers, travelled about cultiva-
ting the acquaintance of key men
everywhere, Systematically ga
thering information on the pro-
or anti-Axis attitudes of import
ant individuals.
Their activities were coordina-
ted with the efforts of American
diplomatic and consular offici-
ais, who also were laboring to
keep alive the French spirit of
resistance to the Axis.
