huge flying boats year in nine of
the nations shipyards was adj
vocated today by Henry ]. Kaiser,
noted ship builder, as a plan to
win the war.
Kaiser, whose application of
mass production methods has
made him world famous, estimated
that the nine yards. three on the
West Coast and three on the
Atlantic Coast and three in the
Gulf region. could be brought to
full production within 10 months.
He enviSioned the movement Of

such mass air movements would

ANSWER TO U-BOATs

Kaiser addressed some $4,000
shipyard workers and revealed to
them that his engineers have long
been working on plans for huge
flying boats as the answer to the
submarine menace.
ut seems proper TO tell you.
and to tell the nation that our
engineers have plans on their
drafting boards for gigantic
flying ships beyond anything
Jules Verne could ever have
imagined" Kaiser declared.
There are plans for flying
ships OF 500 tons. One Of the
latter could carry 1000 men,"

already Is a flying ship which Is

that the nine shipyards would be

MASS FLIGHT OF MEN

"And In the next day" he con-
tinued, "they could fly over again

RommeI Forced
To Replace Tired
Italian Troops
ShuffIes TO Put
More Strength in
North End Of Line
BY RICHARD ID. MCMILLAN
United Press stan Correspondent

BRITISH BRIGADE HEAD
QUARTERS, Ell ALAMEIN, July
lS delayed Field Marshal En-
win Rommel has been forced 10
pull the battered Italian Sabartha
division out OF the line and replace
it with part of his own 90th light
division.
He began a hurried general
shuttle of his forces TO cOncen-
trate more strength at the north
end of the line. where the Sabar-
tha division had been stationed,
at the expense OF his strong line
in the center.
Similar, German concentrations
in the past have heralded attacks
on the coastal prong Of the British
line, including Hammers Hill.
which is the British westernmost
position.
HAS TRIED BEFORE
Rommel has tried before to cut
off this prong, but the Australians
always have struck back, and the
Germans have been forced 10
watch over their shoulders for the
movement of British tanks in the
other parts of the line.
During the night / could see the
Germans moving their armored
forces northward until their main
strength was opposite the Aus
