White House Friction

BY the Associated Press.

Senator Downey, Democrat, of
California assumed the leader

congressional effort to eliminate
friction between the President

The Californian envisioned a pro-

MRS. MCKINNEY and have
been fortunate enough on two
occasions to win the Adirondack
team-of four event, but this year
we had to be satisfied with tying
for second place. The trophy
went to the team of Mr.. and
n g. John j. Haggerty and r. j.
O'Connell, all of Syracuse, with
Mrs. Agnes Gordon and r. B.
Nenno of Buffalo.
Haggerty is a member of the
executive committee for the Fall
session of the national tourna-
ment, which will be held at Syr-
acuse the week beginning Nov.
30. Here is one of the hands
that he and his wife handled in
championship fashion.
Haggerty (South) made
good bid after Mrs. Haggerty's
bid of two no trump. Instead of
mechanically bidding three no
trump, he bid three clubs. Mrs.
Haggerty then stayed out of the
no trump contract, at which
most pairs lost five diamond
trick.
East won the second diamond
and led trump. Haggerty cash.
ed five rounds of trumps, dis
ccrding a heart from dummy.
West let 60 diamonds and final
ly discarded a heart. Next the
top spades were cashed and a
spade ruffed with the last
trump. Haggerty guessed cor
rectly that West held the heart
queen, so he cashed the ace and
king instead of finessing, and
the jack cleared for the 18th

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 10-Be-
hind the screen: Two years ago
a Los Angeles aircraft inspec-
tor, William Engelbert, Jr., went
to a move and fell in love with
the leading lady, Lynne Roberts,
a 20th-Fox starlet. Later he tried
unsuccessfully to meet her, but
he learned her address and often
drove past her house in the hope
of seeing her. One morning En-
colbert noticed that family was
vacating the house next door, so
he promptly rented the place and
moved in. 1t was easy to meet
the actress then, and after few
months of courtship he married
her.
Not until recently was the
story known around the studio.
Then a producer heard it and
assigned a couple of writer's to
whip up comedy based on the
romance. But Lynne Roberts
isn't going to star in it; the role
goes to Janis Carter instead. The
studio decided that Miss Roberts
wasn't the type.

All this excitement about cargo

designe- Grover Looming, big
builder Henry j. Kaiser and
Senator Josh Lees Military At
fairs Subcommittee hearings, is
a bit pathetic. II is pathetic be-
cause in a way it is so unneces-

cause the United States,
which before the war built the
worlds best transport planes
and had the worlds best sys-
TENS of commercial airlines,
shouldn't now have to be turning
itself inside out to build up an
adequate fleet of aerial cargo
carriers.
Before the United States got
into the war actively, u S. COM
msrical airlines had in service
about 500 cargo planes-350 of
them operated by domestic land
lines, $50 of them operated by
Pan-American on its foreign and
overseas routes. Additional
planes were order by most COM
merical airlines with the major
manufacturers. Boeing wa S
building new clippers for Pan
American; Douglas was building
more standard DC-3's and few
of the newer, bigger four-mot-
ored DC-4's, while Lockheed had
plans for its new Constellation
model.
Then in December of 1910, a
government request" was made
to the plane builders that no
more deliveries be made to pri-
vate purchasers, and a little
later orders were given to stop
production of all commercial
planes. To all practical purposes
the manufacture of cargo planes
came to dead stop.

little more than q year and half
ago. Contrast that order with all
the excitement now to build all
the cargo planes possible.
This is probably large meas
ure of hindsight, and from the
Army Air Force point of view,
there is justification for these
drastic orders curtailing produc-
ton of transport planes. AS
Lieut.. Gen. Henry H Arnold tes-
titled before the Lee committee,
the first demands were for train
ing planes so that a flying per-
sonnet could be developed large
enough to meet any requirement,
and the second demands were for
combat ships and bombers as die
tated by Great Britain. Even SO,
in securing the large number of
trainers required the orders were
concentrated with the major
companies, whereas these pri-
mary trainers might have been
erCered from smaller companies,
leaving the big companies to con-
tinue> 1.-THE production of trans
ports.
But this inability to get new
equipment is not the only sad
part of the story, from the COM
nercial airlines point of view.
Gradually, the Army has been
taking over the commercial air.
airlines' equipment and person
mel, throwing on them load of
responsibility for developing
aerial transport which has some
men in the industry frankly wor-
ried for fear that; if they cannot
deliver, it will mean virtual
confiscation.
LOAD GROWS HEAVIER
First came the system of travel
priorities, giving the Army,
Navy and government people
prefert nee on space. Then the
Army took over a fourth of all
the commercial planes, and asked
the airlines to convert 70 trans
ports to Army use. Finally, with
the recent formation of the Air
Transport Command in the
Army Air Force, it was announc-
ed that nine of the major air
lines would be given the job of
training transport pilots and act
ually flying their own ships all
over the world. Not only that,
but additional cargo planes from
the Army will be assigned to the
commercial airlines as they
become available. The rea-
son for this is simply that the
commercial airline pilots have
done a better job on route fly
ing and ferrying operations than
have the Army pilots, trained
for combat flying.
Meanwhile, the scramble over
where thse additional cargo and
transport planes are to come
from will apparently 60 on for
some time. Gen. Arnold says he
would welcome additional cargo
planes, provided they do not in
terfere with the Army Air Force
balanced program which calls
for building of from 81 per cent
to 80 per cent of the multi-en-
gined bomber-type planes as car
go carriers and troop transports.
The Army Air Force would like
additional planes built in half the
number of man hours now going
into transport plane production,
and would like these planes
built of non-critical materials.
Those limitations lead to a con-
clusion that the Army Air Force
top command is bucking, or at
least isn't any too interested in
the Kaiser proposals, in spite of
the personal assurances given to
Kaiser by Undersecretary of War
Patterson and WPB boss Nelson.
