Calls for BoIdness in
Projecting New Types
Survey Of British Pionts
Shows Lessons of Combat
Bring Changes at Once

By the Associated Press.
The chairman of a recent United
States aircraft production mission
to England called today for courage
In projecting ahead the types of
development which may contribute
toward winning the war a year or
two hence"
T. p. Wright, deputy director Of
the War Production Boards aircraft
division, reporting on the mission,
said lessons learned in combat were
translated Immediately into changed
plane design in England and that
this country, in gearing its pro-
duction more closely to battle ex-
perience, would continue to ex-
change information with its Ally.
Praises Three British Types.
Asserting he was impressed with
advanced aircraft engineering de-
velopment in England, Mr.. Wright
particularly praised the Spitfire
fighter with its latest Merlin en-
CINE, and the Mosquito, light, fast,
two-engine bomber. He also spoke
highly OF the giant Lancaster
bomber.
British output in terms of man
hours, Mr.. Wright reported. is some
what below the United tSates, which
he attributed to the adjustment of
the factory setup to the danger Of
bombing.
The mission visited several under
ground factories, some just getting
under way and others in full opera
ton. A frequent form Of factory
organization, he found, was to locate
many small plants in limited area,
all of them feeding assembly units.
This, he said, made large-scale line
production difiicult.
The working day of aircraft labor
he reported, is about Is per cent
higher than in the United States
and 1T is possible that the intensity
of labor effort is somewhat greater"
and workers more aware of the
actual meaning OF war tnan are the
workers in this country"
Labor Relations Excellent.
Mr.. Wright said he found rela-
tions between labor and manage
ment excellent" He suggested the
formation in this country of an
organization similar to the British
Engineering Advisory Committee.
The committee, composed of six
company engineers, advises with the
Minister of Aircraft Production on
engineering and scientific problems.
Other members of the mission in
cluded:

The Government charges Riker
with making seditious statements

OF Holy City, the community Riker

and Of advocating that the United
