cilities would be absolutely made
quate for the purposes intended.
This has been particularly true on
aviation projects and as contracts
are being placed emphasis is put on
using available facilities and ma
chine tools with the same thought
that you express of conserving ma
terialS and tools.
Now that the automobile industry
no longer has any automobiles to
make, its whole thought and effort
is concentrated on the production of
war materials and I have no doubt
that the same ingenuity that has
produced their records in the past
will make itself manifest in the man
ner in which war products will be
turned out in quantity.
Orders for Smaller Producer.
"It is also interesting to note that
the orders that have been placed
with the three large companies re-
quires more than one-half of the
value of their final output to be
placed by these companies with
smaller suppliers in order to pro-
duce the amount required Such
orders are now being placed down
the line and will, during the next
so days, reach the smaller manu-
lecturers in larger and increasing
quantities. One preliminary survey
of 1l8 companies interested shows
that on January 20, 1941, they al
ready had orders which would in
volve 80 per cent of their 1941 en-
ployment and q dollar volume Of SO
per cent Of their 1941 output, yet

5000 Square Miles
Area BIacked Out;
Test '99 Pet. Perfect
Baltimore and Jersey
Coastal Regions Dorkened
For IS Minutes
Rv the Associated Press.

Es the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 28.-Two
vital Atlantic Coast areas totaling
more than 5000 square miles
blacked out in tests last night, and
the official verdict termed both Of
them close to perfection.
The word for Baltimore and 2,261
square miles of surrounding terri
tory along the western shore Of
Chesapeake Bay from the Penn
sylvania State line to the suburbs
of Washington was "99 9-10 per
cent perfect" That was the opinion
Of Col. Henry H. Barrett, chief Of
afraid precautions for Maryland.
The verdict for a 1,000-square-
mile coastal area in New Jersey,
pronounced by Arthur N. Beadleton,
civil defense co-ordinator who
watched from an airplane, was "a 80
per cent plus success"
Few Lights Spotted.
Discounting navigation and dan
ger signals, which were left aglow,
Mr.. Beadleton said he spotted only
five lights in the whole Jersey area,
which included three military posts
and more than go municipalities.
There was one fatality: A dairy
farmer was killed in a collision
while en- route to his emergency
police post.
The Baltimore blackout covered
a vital industrial area in which live
100000 persons, more than two
thirds of Maryland's entire popu-
lation.
The Glenn L. Martin aircraft
plant and a dozen or more other
important plants engaged in war
production were exempt from the
blackout which, like that in New
Jersey, lasted Is minutes.
Gas Lamps Big Problem.
Baltimore's 1900 gas street
lamps, which had to be put out by
hand, presented one of the biggest
problems. Afraid wardens and
citizens alike co-operated to .per-
form this task, but at least one
lamp will have to be replaced.
An unidentified woman tele-
phoned police five minutes after
the sirens sounded to tell them the
faulty lamp wouldn't turn of.
As the man at the desk listened,
he heard over the telephone a
crash and tinkle of falling glass.
Never mind" said the woman,
some one just put it out with a
brick"

Closing Chicago Grain

BY the Associated Fress.
CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-Corn, rye
and soybeans prices developed nde-
pendent strength in the grain mar
ket today, rising fractions to a cent
or more, but wheat and oats de-
clined
Most of the demand for the mar
ket leaders came from professional
traders who were covering previous
short sales, but brokers also re-
ported some commission house buy
ing that apparently originated with
professors, shippers and elevators.
Heavy feeding demand for corn
as we'll as expanded industrial re-
quirements for both corn and beans
were bullish factors. Trade in all
pits was restricted, however, by eau
tion of most dealers because of the
controversy between the farm bloc in
Congress and the administration
regarding disposal of Government
owned ever-normal-granary wheat
and corn.
Wheat sagged as much as u cent

Broadened Guayu|e Bill

BY the Associated Press.

Broadened to meet a presidential
objection which brought an earlier
veto, legislation to authorize the
Agriculture Department to develop
guayule rubber was approved by the
House today and sent to the White
House.
1t allows the department to plant

rubber bearing plant in the West
ern Hemisphere and to purchase at
cost not exceeding $4,000, 900 prop
critics in California of the Intercon-
tinental Rubber Co., which has been
experimenting with guayule for
many years.
AS originally passed and vetoed,
the bill limited the development pro-
gram to the United States. The
Presidents veto message requested
it be broadened to allow the pro-
gram to be carried on anywhere in
the Western Hemisphere, and the
Senate and House agreed to that
change.

LONDON, Feb. 28.-More vigorous
conscription for war industry, closer

and prompt offensive action, with

demanded today by speakers at sew

Trials to Be Separate.
Officials said the general charge
of derehction of duty was covered
by many definitions.
Gen. Short and Admiral Kimmel
will be tried separately, it was
deemed certain, because Army and
Navy procedure are not identical
and no precedent was recalled for
joint trial. However, much of the
testimony presumably would be
identical. Whether the trials will be
closed or public is yet to be decided;
precedents allow for either.
Under conventional procedure, the
trials would be conducted by courts
Of high ranking admirals and gen.
erals, as regulations provide that
an inferior rank should not judge
a superior where this could be
avoided.
A defendant may rely on a fellow
officer for counsel, or make use Of
a civilian attorney. The court itself
designates one member as a claw
member" often a lawyer officer.
In a military court, testimony is
received and weighed in much the
same manner as in a civilian trial.
Court to Fix Penalty.
The court-martial itself is en-
powered by regulations, in most
cases, to Ak the sentence agreed on,
and officials declined to speculate
what sentence was possible for con-
viction on the charge of dereliction
Of duty.
Brig. Gen. Billy" Mitchell, out
spoken Air Corps officer, who criti-
cized his superiors and. was con-
victed of INSTRUMENTATION, was or
dered relieved of his command and
to forfeit pay and allowances, but on
an appeal President Coolidge COM
muted the sentence to loss of only
half pay. Gen. Mitchell Immediate
ly resigned from the service.
The Mitchell trial was the best
known in the military service in re-
cent years. Following the First
World War numerous courts-martial
cases were tried steriiming from the
conflict, but few involved officers of
high rank.
Any sentence imposed on Gen.
Short or Admiral Kimmel will be
subject to appeal to the President,
after the courts findings have been
studied for possible errors by board
of review.

PHILADELPHIA, June 29.-Some
Pennroad stockholders indicated to-
day that they are not satisfied with
the recommendation of a financial
committee that Federal Judge
George A Welsh impose liability
Of S23, ,844 931.78 on the Pennsylvania
Railroad for the benefit Of Pennroad.
Former United States Senator
Daniel o. Hastings of Delaware,
representing the Pennroad group,
said he would seek to have the liza
bility increased.
This came out at an informal
hearing before Judge Welsh, who
gave attorneys for both sides a
chance to get first hand from the
committee the methods they arrived
at to determine the liability figure.
Judge Welsh already has ruled
that the Pennsylvania is liable for
any losses to Pennroad stockholders.
if Pennroad officials paid excessive
prices for any securities to benefit
the railroad because Of an interlock-
ing directorate.
Robert T. McCracken, counsel for
the railroad in the suit. asserted at
the informal hearing that the Penn
sylvania's position still is that no
liability should be imposed on it. end
even if such is, the committees fig
ures are too high.
