CATALINA COMES THRU
Milwaukee JournaD

So it was an old Catalina flying boat
that rescued Eddie Rickenbacker and his
companions. Page Maj. de Seversky and
all the rest of the writer's on aviation,
The old Catalina, the ply, has been
consigned to oblivion by these writer's
more times than you can count. Too
slow, too cumbersome, no maneuverabili-
ty And Of course this is true so far as
combat is concerned We found that out
in the Aleutians. But the Catalina has
its uses.
When the Navy wanted planes of an
even keel, able to go through storms, to
search the waters 1000 miles southwest
Of Hawaii. it chose the Catalinas To
their steady flying, Rickenbacker and his
companions owe their lives.
This is not to say that more Catalinas
should be built now. They are outmoded
and have been replaced by improved fly
ing boats. But il does illustrate how each
type Of plane has its uses, and how types
must vary with tht work they are to do.

misconceptions

The New Deal seems to think of the
farmer as Il person who raises every
thing he needs on his farm, never goes
to the store to buy food, and so is not
affected by rising food prices The New
Deal evidently has never taken the trou-
BILE to learn that modern farming is
highly specialized business. in which nine
out of ten operators must purchase at
the stores everything they use on their
dinner tables
Starting from that misconception, the
New Deal has evolved theory that So
called labor. meaning the union mem
bers, are the only ones who should re-
ceiVe increased returns on effort when
the cost of living goes up. The farmer,
according to this way of looking at it,
must continue selling everything he pro-
duces as cheaply as possible. If he
doesn't, he is blamed for the wage in
creases granted by New Deal "meditat-
ors' to the big labor unions.
The facts as shown by the govern
ment's own figures are that the farmers
return on effort-his wage, if it can be
called that-has remained virtually stat
ic for many years, while "labors" return
on effort has increased doubly and triply.
Bluntly, the things the farmer must buy
the things manufactured by tabor
have gone up and up, but the farmers
income has stayed virtually the same as
it was years ago.
Until the New Deal realizes this, and
puts in Henderson's place a man able
to act on th2-realizatiOn mere shakeup
of department heads will do little good.

firm. said:
THE management and labor
Of Woodwork company want To
\ compliment the Hearst organlza-
J ton on Its practical and dra-
matte plan to find and honor

SIGNIFICANT VALUE
"Whiie the contest will have
significant value In each Of the
Hearst newspaper cities. we feel
that II will prove particularly
beneficial In Detroit--the very
heart Of the American produc-
ton picture.
Frankly, more and more
woman power II needed and the
Hearst contest, among a great
many moro things, will make 1t
apparent 20 those not In the war
effort. the splendid type Of Amer
lean girls and women who are
already In factory work.
I'VE are extremely proud Of
the women EMPLOYEES In our plant
and hope that some one Of them
will deserve and receive the title
Of Miss Victory Of Michigan. You
may be sure that each OF the Is
representatives Of our 1900
women will exempllfy the high
type Of individual you seek.
"The qualifications established
for the Miss Victory Contest are
especially good. Under your rules
every American worker has a
chance because beauty IL not n
requisite and you have placed
emphasis on work sacrifices, ef-
ficicncy In work, and patriotic
activities.
"The contest has caught the
imagination OF management and
labor and we are planning To
give Il not only endorsement but
the fullest cooperation. Machln-
cry II already under way for

SHE'S ENTHUSIASTIC

True 10 her sex, Mrs. Jeffrie!
was enthusiastic in her praise o
the plan.
"Any woman who will give up
her leisure, her home. family
and social life to take over a
mans work in a factory, Is
sister of mine and my hat is off
to her. Anything we can do to
give her proper recognition is a
duty we must perform.
81 think the Hearst news
papers were wise in not making
this a mere beauty contest. That
would prove nothing. i believe
the qualities upon which Miss
Victory will he chosen are those
qualities which make American
women what they are: which
makes this nation what IL Is,
