MATTER OF MATERIAL

One Liberty ship can haul 10000
tons of cargo. Even if Kaiser can
build a 2O0-ton flying boat-three
times bigger than the 70ton Mar
tin Mars" which is the biggest
flying boat ever built and which
can haul only Ia tons of cargo-it
would take 700 of the Mars boats
or over 200 of the Kaiser paper
2OO-ton boats to haul as much car
go as one lousy Liberty ship And
we're building 23OO Liberty ships
Most pertinent objection to
the Kaiser proposal is that
there isn't enough material
available to build the planes
already designed, tested and on
order as fast as they could be
built in existing aircraft fac
tories. The sad fact is that the
aircraft plants already built
have been forced to shut down
W IVi h'NN VI
materials. Mostly fabricated
parts like engines and propcll-
ers, or semi manufactured
parts like castings and shapes
Glenn L. Martin has stated pub
licly that his Baltimore plant
could build eight times as many
aircraft as it is now building if
it could just get the materials.
Boeing Aircraft Company is on
record that its west coast plants
could build twice as many planes
as they are now building if they
could just get materials. Very pert
inently, therefore, it can be asked
where the materials are to come
from to build planes in nine ship
wards to be converted into aircraft
factories, as Kaiser proposes.

Shaub Protests Proposed
Rationinq of Fuel Oil

year do not exist today. A greater
shortage exists In this area in
solid fuels than in oil since there
has been great loss of sawmills by
fire and dismantling for expan-
sion to shipyards. Local coal which
provided requirements for this
area has been taken by army and
navy and so 1t is shipped in from
as far as the Great Lakes"
Reduction of fuel oil supply
will increase demand on rail equip
ment. We are convinced rationing
is not necessary in this area and
request that you detail a repre-
sentative to make a careful inves-
tigation."

ate investigation of Petrillos ac-
tivities.
AN ugly note in the organized
labor front is James Caesar Petrillo,' .
Senator Clark said. His middle
name was given him by people who
must have foreseen his future"
He said organized labor would
need strong. effective, competent
leadership after the war, and that
he did not believe Mr.. Petrillo was
of that type.
He drafted resolution directing
the Interstate Commerce Commit
tee to determine the effect on the
public morale of the union presi-
dents ban against members making
recordings and transcriptions fol
use by radio stations and in coin
operated monographs.
The resolution said the union
leaders ultimatum, issued July IS
would deprive millions of radio
listeners from hearing musica
records, jeopardize the nationaI
morale" and imperil the existence
of hundreds of small radio sta
tions unable to afford station Or
chestras."
1t added that Mr.. Petrillo refused
a request from Elmer Davis, director
Of the Office of War Information
for a withdrawal of the ban.

Trade Pact Negotiations
Under WAY With PORTUGAL

Secretary of State Hull revealed
today that negotiations are under
way with Portugal for extension of
commercial relations with that
country and its colonies. He in
dicated that a partial agreement
had been reached.
The negotiations have not gone
far enough for him to divulge any
details, Mr. Hull said.
In regard to reports that some
sort of new trade agreement al
ready had been signed with Portu-
guese East Africa, the Secretary
said that anything agreed upon so
far was of a very limited and par
tial nature.
The Secretary also emphasized at
a press conference that shipments of
milk by the American Red Cross
to unoccupied France are sent as a
gift from this country to French
children without any reference to
American relations with the Vichy
government. '''s'
