HATES WAR
You see something paradoxical
in q billion dollar armament en-
terprise undertaken by a man
who has held a LIFELONG hatred
of war and long has termed arm
ed conflict futile. But Henry
Ford is pressing the arms pro-
duction job with all the facilities
of his widespread organization.
He doesn't attempt to recon
cile the apparent anomaly; he
answers one direct question with
another:
cts the law of the land, isn't
it,"
And you have to guess at pre-
cisely what he meant as another
of the Big Three" motorcar
companies turns all its engineer
ing skill, its machines and its
factory buildings to the war
weapon manufacturing task.
RULES ENTERPRISE
The 78-year-old Ford rules the
vast Ford enterprises and his is
the last word on any company
undertaking. Throughout n e
armament project, however, a
major figure has been a one-time
Danish immigrant - Charles E.
SorenSen.
Sorensen, associated with Ford
almost since the founding of the
Ford Company nearly four de-
cades ago, has been termed one
of the greatest production men
the car industry has produced.
The Sorensen influence in the
growth of the Ford Company
here and elsewhere is visible in
many ways.
It was Sorensen, trained in all
branches of foundry work and
specilizing in pattern designing,
w h o developed the idea of a
mechanically actuated assembly
line. To prove that every move
incident to the assembling of an
automobile could be timed to the
second Sorensen lowed a car
chassis on a rope through an as
sembly process.
The Sorensen name also is on
many of the fundamental Ford
patents. He produced the cast
alloy crankshaft and camshaft
and has figured prominently in
demonstrating that many forg-
ing operations incidental to air
craft engine production could be
done by casting, saving many
hours of machining operations.
Sorensen was born in Copen-
hagen, September 7, 1881. His
parents brought him to the Unit
ed States when he was o u
years old. He went to public
school in Buffalo and came to
Detroit in 1900 to work in q
foundry. There he soon found
himself making patterns for car.

LONDON, Dec. 10 - Allied
forces apparently were set to-
day to launch mighty new drives
against the Axis in North Africa

and Tunisia, under formidable
and ever-growing air power.
Reports by the Morocco radio
that the Americans and British
already had sprung anew to the
attack on both sides of the Axis

Mediterranean's African shore
apparently were premature.
Advices from Tunisia, how
ever, indicated that the Allies
there no longer were hampered
by the pinch for air support and
that the crucial battle for the
last 20 miles, the approaches to
Bizerte and Tunis, might ex-
plode at any moment.
A communique from Allied
headquarters in North Africa
said there was little activity ex-
cept patrolling in the forward
areas yesterday because of rain
which was made much Of the

On the opposite side Of Aries,
a British communique said the
eighth army was allowing the
enemy no rest in the Ell Agheila
area"
In Tunisia, the Allies and
Germans both were reported
probing cautiously for weak
spots and speeding preparations
for the decisive battle.
Reports of Allied air blows,
both destructive off e nsive
smashes and successful defen-
sive air fighting with evidently
plentiful and well-varied war
planes, indicated that air mas
terry was swinging back to the
Allies.

In a board plan aimed at stab
