Budd Mfg. Adds
ToU.S. Contracts

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. IL
Turning increasingly to production
for national defense, the Edward
G. Budd Manufacturing Company
swings into 1912 with substantial
additions TO government contracts
over previously reported figures,
officials report.
The company IS now producing
arms or equipment for every
branch Of the service. Among the
products rolling from the produc-
ton lines of the great Philadelphia
plant are augmentation bombs,
components of stainless steel for
military aircraft, and marine
structures of various types for the
nations fighting ships.
The railway division has enjoyed
one of its best years. A total OF
nearly 500 lightweight. stainless
steel Budd-built cars are now in
operation on major American rail-
roads, the most recent complete
streamlined train being the New
York Centrals Empire State Ex-
press, which was introduced De-
ccmber z.

Sale of Defense
Bonds Soaring

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE
huge increase in sales of defense
bonds since the attack on Pearl
Harbor has received much pub
licity because the sudden demand
caught many local selling agents
with too short a supply on hand
With patriotic fever running at a
high pitch. defense bonds will con-
tinue to supply an important part
Of the treasury's cash require
mentS.
Until recently, sales had been
running at the rate Of around
$500, 100000 a year. The current
rate of buying undoubtedly is a
great deal higher. and it is re-
ported that Secretary Morgenthau
has in mind a figure of around
$4,000, 100000 for 1912.
This high figure may require the
adoption of some form of forced
savings. Nevertheless, there is no
doubt that defense bonds will
shoulder much of the heavy burden
which would otherwise have to be
carried entirely by the govern
ment bond market.

But let's go back to 1915. In
that memorable year, Evans came
TO Detroit as representative OF a
firm which manufactured wooden
blocks, designed 10 fit the curve
of auto tires, and used TO block
the cars in place for shipment in
freight cars.
A good salesman. Evans wanted
to know why his blocks were
better than his competitors or
vice versa, so he hired an aban.
doned rail siding, locomotive and
couple of flat cars. For days he
stood out there and studied the
action OF the old auto he had
braced on the flat car. When he
was through, he not only knew
which was best but probably knew
more about them than anybody ir
the world.

Taxes Chief Problem
OF Phone Companies

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-With the
United States under a full war
economy, the principal threat TO
maintenance Of telephone profits
comes from federal taxes. In
creased tax rates effective for 1941
have cut the industry's earnings
down moderately, in the face Of
record business volume. II tax
rates had remained unchanged,
1871 profits would have reached a
new post-1929 high. Accordingly,
if taxes in 1912 are increased
further, net income would slump
sharply, particularly since operat-
ing income is not expected TO gain
so sharply next year as in 1871.

Paid Big Dividends

The knowledge paid big divi-
dends to Evans because within
couple of years, his commissions
on the sale of the blocks to the
auto industry amounted to better
than 100000 annually.
But also within a couple OF
years, the United States went to
war. And so did Evans-right
where they needed him most. Yes
you guessed it, he was packing EN-
in for the government.
Given the job of supervising all
boxing and Grating for the govern
ment, he introduced so many
economies and space saving inno-
Vations that his contribution 70
the smashing of the blockade rated
on a par with a good sized section
of the fleet.

back to work. From then until the

business ventures and hobbies
were multifold. Biggest job, oi
course, was the organization OF

Had Varied Interests

In the twenties. he was a direc-
tor of the National Air Transport
and was once a president of Lock-
heed Company. He was one of the
organizers of Stinson Aircraft
Corporation. and an officer of
Aeronautical Development, which
you may recall. built the worlds
only metal clad dirigible that be-
came famous as rifle fodder for
Kentucky moonshiners.
AS 1.-The father of gliding" Evans
wrote an article on this subject
for the Encyclopedia Britannica
and in 1926 found time TO make
round-the-world flight in record
time. He also did an outstanding
Job as sales head for the then in
FAINT Alemite Corporation.
And he's credited with pioneer
ing the first retractable landing
gear for planes.
Today he again is doing an out
standing job for his government.
His Evans plants, which in normal
times saved the auto industry
millions with the auto-loader and
made such varied items as oil
heaters and venetian blind Stats,
have switched TO defense produc-
ton in record time.
One plant is turning out machine
gun mounts to the tune Of 81, 20O,-
600 worth; another is turning out
a specialized utility loader. which
is used for moving shells around
at the arsenals; another is making
heaters and ventilators for small
arms vehicles, and still another is
making crates in which TO pack
bombers, while the new Lebanon,
Ore, ply-wood division is head
over heels in defense housing.
Has New "Lodder"
But even with his plants about
80 per cent on defense work,
Evans is still like the old fire
horse: his baby is a new packer

type utility loader and he claims
liz increases freight cars capacity
by FIVE TONS. 1t has cross mem
bers designed 10 prevent shifting
and eliminates the need for dun
mage packing completely. He says
it's his greatest invention.
Since il is estimated that an
increase Of one ton in capacity per
car would give this country the
equivalent OF 10000 freight cars,
widespread adoption Of this device
may yet prove to be Colonel
Evans greatest contribution to the
defense program.

Ready For Reprlsals
washington, April 20 - (U.P) -
Civilian Defense officials were con-
fldent today that volunteer air raid
workers are ready for immediate,
efficient action If Axis airplanes at
tempt to attack American coastal
cities In retaliation for the bomb
ing Of Japan.
Approximately 100000 volunteers
have been organized in the OCD
protective services along the Attain
tic and Pacific Coasts. Special air
raid equipment has been distributed
in some coastal cities. Air raid war
dens and fire fighters in all cities
have been taught what to do with
equipment at hand.
National oCD headquarters have
not instructed coastal volunteer de-
Tense organizations to take special
precautions because Of the POSSIBLE
ity Of retaliatory bombings. Wash
ington defense officials said local
OCD volunteers have been so Or
ganized that they always are ready
to take their posts instantaneously
when the signal is flashed.
Blackout tests have proved that
coastal OCD units are prepared to
cope with any bombing, an OCD
spokesman said.
Congressional opinion was divided
whether Axis forces would attempt
a retaliatory bombing. Some thought
the Japanese soon would send
planes over west coast cities to save
face, even If the bombers were fore.
doomed.

JAPS RESORT TO
OVERCOMING
Continued from Page y

Presumably the Japanese had
been forced to move their artillery
by the accuracy OF the guns on Cor
regidor and the other islands, which
were reported yesterday to have ST.
fenced at least four batteries on
Bataan and possibly five. Today's
ccmmunique told Of three additional
enemy batteries being silenced.
Three troop and truck concen-
trations on Bataan also were broken
up by fire from Corregidor yester-
day, the communique said.
The first dive bombing was re-
garded by observers here as perhaps
signalling the start of q more Wig
orous enemy drive to beat down the
resistance of the forts and open up
Manila Bay for Japanese use.
Corregidor bore the brunt Of all
yesterdays attacks. Fort Hughes
also was visited by the high altitude
bombers and both Forts Hughes and
Drum were subjected to consider
able" artillery fire.
Harass Japanese
Disclosure of the patrol raid at
Zamboganga was further evidence
that the out-numbered defenders
are harassing the Japanese all the
way from the northern mountains
Of Luzon to Panay and Cehu, 700
miles to the southeast dispatches
from Lieut.. Gen. Jonathan M. VAIN
wright in the Philippines told of
stubborn resistance" on the SOUTH
ern fronts in the Archipelago, a
successful raid by guerilla forces in
Luzon, and effective artillery and
anti-aircraft action by the Corregi-
dor garrison.
The japanese, wary of Corregi-
doris gunners are keeping at lex
tremely high attitudes" and dur
ing the last few days the artillery
Of the rocky fortress has silenced
four and possibly five enemy bat
teries.
The Corregidor garrison added
three more heroes to its long list.
An earlier communique described
how they risked their lives to keep
the nag from falling to the ground
and then repaired a small shattered
halyard SO it could again fly as the
symbol Of the gallant resistance
they are staging.
