Rekenbocker Urges Kaiser
As Air Cargo Co-ordinotor

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10 (P).-
Henry J. Kaiser's plan for construct
ing huge cargo planes is impracti-
cal, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker be-
lieves, but he suggests the master
West Coast shipbuilder be made CO.
ordinator of air cargo production
because of his ability to put mate
rails and men to work.
Cargo planes of the type suggested
by Mr. Kaiser, the famous flyer said
in an interview last night, are i'm
practical from the outset because
such plane would require land
locked harbors and lakes from which
to operate.
"If we built 5000 of them right
now you wouldn't find enough land
locked harbors and lakes on the
shores of America to get them in
and out"
Capt. Rickenbacker said he re-
spected Mr.. Kaiser as being one of
the ablest industrialists and ship
builders In the country.
Il would recommend to President
Roosevelt that Henry Kaiser be ap-
pointed co-ordinator of air cargo
plane production in this country.
Kaiser is the perfect naSn to
smooth the flow of materials for i'm
mediate airplane production. If ma
terials were available, our present
airplane production could be upped
at least so per cent"
Mr.. Kaiser should also turn his
attention to building subchasers and
destroyers ito protect the cargo ships
he is turning out so gnificently,
Capt. Rickenbacker added.

Labor Unit Opens Fight
On Maryland Vote Law
BY the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 10.-Declaring
more than 100000 war workers were
without voting franchise in Mary
land. the Maryland Labor Unity
Conference asked Gov. O'Conor to
call a special session of the General
Assembly to repeal the Declaration
of Intentions Act.
The Declaration of Intentions
statute requires new residents of the
State to declare their intention of
becoming citizens. They do not be-
come eligible to vote until year
after the statement is filed.
The letter to Gov O'Conor, made
public by Conference Secretary
Treasurer Sidney R. Katz, asked the
Governors most urgent consider
alton of the idea" of calling a spe-
cial session of the State Legislature
for the purpose.
1--WE submit that there are impell-
ing considerations for calling the
Legislature into session in order to
repeal the act"
Saying the war industries had
brought thousands of new workers
into Maryland, the letter added:
rs it not unfair to these persons,
who might otherwise qualify as
voters, to find themselves banned at
the polls, one of our most significant
expressions of democracy, precisely
because they came to this State to
work in our war plants to preserve
our way of life?"

Is Per Cent Of Steel
Now Goes Directly
Into War Use
Railroads and Machine
Makers Get the Rest,
WPB Report Says
BY the Associated Press.

by lHe ASSOCldCeQ Press.
More than three-fourths of the
Nations monthly steel output of
100000 tons now is going into di-
rect war use and the rest into such
essential industries as railroads and
machinery manufacture, the War
Production Board disclosed today.
This war and essential-industry
channeling of steel was emphasized
by report from David F. Austin,
acting chief Of WPB's iron and steel
branch, that four-ffths of 1t was
being delivered on priority ratings
of ALA or higher.
The 100000 tons a month now
being delivered represents finished
steel products, reduction of ap-
proximately 30 per cent from ingot
production of more than 100000
tons. The residue goes back into the
furnaces in the form of scrap.
Where Steel Goes.
The WPB gave this report on
where some of the finished steel
goes:
Tanks-"It takes about 38 tons
of steel to make a medium tank and
the United States is turning out a
lot of them"
Ships-"Present goals are for g.
100000 tons of dead-weight shipping
this year and 100000 tons in 1943
Each cargo ship of the Liberty type
now being made IN quantity under
direction of the Maritime Commits
sion calls for approximately 4,500
tons of rough steel. Current pro-
ductionis around 10 ships a month. y
Guns" Some Of our aircraft
guns use up ID tons of steel each;
thousands of rifles, machine guns,
.anti-tank guns and howitzers use
steel, all the way up to the giant To-
inchers that take 576 tons of steel
EACH"
Half Ton for Bomb.
Also, the WPB noted, "it takes
half ton of steel to make one of
the 2,000-pound bombs the British
have been dumping on German
cities lately"
Growth of United States ingot
production since 1889 was pictured
by the WPB in these figures: 1899,
52,798,714 net tons; 1910, 66,982 ,686;
1941, 82,927,557; 1912, 86,00o,000
estimated.
The WPB reported that current
production far exceeded that of the
Axis nations, including the German
controlled countries of Europe. 1t
placed Axis steel production in 1941
at approximately 100000 ingot
tons, and declared the United Ma
tions last year controlled more than
IS per cent Of the worlds output.
Despite these figures, WPB re-
ported, it is now necessary to make
our 100000 tons of production fit
a demand of around 100000 tons a
month"

Strike Protesting
Nazi Moves Reported
In Luxembourg
State of Civil Emergency
Declared, Courts-MortioI
Set Up in Cities
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The first
general strike in German-occupied
territory was reported last night in
full force in tiny Luxembourg,
smallest of the United Nations but
one of the largest steel producers in
the world, in protest against incor-
poration of the grand duchy into
the Reich and in defiance of death
sentences for strikers.
Prime Minister Joseph Dupong,
head of the Luxembourg govern
ment-in-exile, announced here that
the German occupation authorities
in his homeland have declared
state of civil emergency throughout
the land-a territory of only 999
square miles and population in
1885 of 296,913.
Courts-martial have been set up
in every city, he added.
In London, the British Ministry
of Information said this was the
first occasion In which a general
strike has been ordered In German
occupied territory, and gains addi-
tional significance from the fact that
Luxembourg ranks among the 10
largest steel producers in the world"
First Conscription.
Prime Minister Dupong said the
German proclamation of August 30
adding Luxembourg TO the Reich
and requiring compulsory service for
Luxembourgeois in the German
Army "is the first time that Ger
many has annexed whole country
and the first time that she conscrips
foreigners for military service,
which, incidentally, shows her need
for soldiers"
Prime Minister Dupong said the
Luxembourgeois reacted to those
orders by starting a strike in the
industrial Esch region.
"Thereupon Gauleiter Gustav
Simon instituted courts martial for
strikers with instructions to SEN
tence them to death and have them
Immediately executed" he declared.
THE strike was then extended
to the whole country and the Ger
mans have now declared the state
of civil emergency and courts
martial have been set up in every
CITY,"
Tried to Head off Strike.
The British Ministry of Informa-
ton said Simon attempted to head
off the strike with an official notice
AuoIIst Al which Said
Paid enemy agents have under
taken to promote a strike at
Schliffingen. They have achieved
partial success. The chief of civil
administration has ordered a state
of civil emergency in the municipal
area of Esch and instituted courts
martial
Strikers sentenced to death by
the courts will be shot Immediately,
irrespective of where they live"
The Information Ministry added:
THE strike clearly and eloquently
refutes the spate of lying German
propaganda, which claimed that the
Luxembourgeois had voluntarily.
acquired German citizenship and
volunteered for service with Ger
man forces .-,.,s,,.
Luxembourg's army of $50 men
and police force of 225 were quickly
overrun by the German Army in

workers received a 81 $50 weekly in
crease IN wages, was announced

Germany Fears
NorWaYlnydsion

WASHINGTON, Feb. q (UP)
Reports received at the Nor
wegian legation revealed today
that Germany is taking intensive
precautions along the Norwegian
coast.
Selb ioerne Fjord, outside
Bergen, has been blocked. Most
of Stavanger Harbor has beer
closed. Large areas of the coast
have been blocked. Ships sailing
close to these areas must move al
reduced speed 10 avoid throwing
up waves.
These precautions are said 10 be
based on German fear that the
Allies may attempt to invade Nor
way.
Other reports indicate that Ger
many may be planning strong
operations against Russia
through Finland. If the Allies
were to cut this route by a drive
on Norway, Sweden probably
would be asked to allow transit of
Axis troops.
