Though apparently the United

Maj. Gen. James II. Doolittle's 18th
Air Force in Northwest Africa did
not join in the attack, it was be-
lieved here that they too, would
soon be blasting Southern Italy.
The Allied planes had been able
to bring Naples within effective
range because the Eighth Army had
given them new bases by driving
westward through Libya to the
bulge at Bengha2i, 700 air line
miles away.
Naples had been out of range for
British-ba planes to all purposes
because the long flight would have
reduced bomb loads.

I'VE have to gather all our
strength" he said. IF by chance
unexpected coed tidines come. 1t
will be a matter for rejoicing. But
we must not count upon it.
I'VE count upon our strong rl"ht
arm. our honest, hard-WorFln"
hearts, and our courage, which has
not been found wanting under cl-
ther domestic or foreign stresses

which our island race has nurturcd

II do not doubt the result, but
cannot lead you to suppose it Will

1t actually becomes funny. Yet
some of these young economists
whose counsel is at least listened to
by the chiefs CT war production be-
lieve that the Army and Navy pro-
curement officers in their grasp for
power have ambitions to take over
the government, lock. stock and

with all its back stairs gossip, in
trigue and dragons. No, this is
Washington. 1912, and there's a
war on.
So YOU start looking elsewhere
tor what really lies behind this
, fight
What is this issue, in its simplest
! terms? Donald M Nelson is NOV
ing to make c. E. Wilson boss of
airplane production. Army and
Navy have shown reluctance to
| grant that authority.
] What's at stake? Well, not just
! the question of the personality Of
Mr.. Wilson, who gave up his S275.-
| C00-cr-So per year job as president
of General Electric to come down
to Washington and be showed
around by a bunch of $9000-avear
generals or s9000-a-year admins
traitors
What is to be controlled? Air
planes.
Who has the most to gain or
losc? WHY not the companies that
manufacture airplancs?
ISSUE IS CONTRACTS
If YOU look on the list Of tho 100
companies holding the greatest dol
lar value of war contracts, YOU will
find that these 100 companies have
81 per cent of all the war con-
/ tracts. and of these 100. companies
more than a fifth are blilding all
craft or aircraft engines. or the
/ 10 largest war contractors. seven
arc building aircraft, the other
three being a steel company and
two shipyards.
The issue here is billions Of
dollars worth Of contracts al
ready let, billions OF dollars
worth of contracts to be let
from now till the end of the
war and aftcr that the aircrH"
business of the future, the bust
ness of Che air age of peace.

and the tie-ups of the biz busi-
