 Detroit, May 21.-(UP)-Consoli- dated Eomhers, among the largest the United Nations have, will be pouring from Henry Ford's Willow Run factory in a few weeks.
 The first has been assembled. A second has been fabricated in sub- sections and sent to another mid western factory for assembly. The largest airplane factory in the United States, and probably the largest in the world, is almost ready for all-out production.
 Production will be based upon the automotive industry's mass meth ods. Frames, sections and fuselages will be stamped out Ey huge presses. As an example of this efficiency, correspondents touring the plant under auspices of the National As sociation of Manufacturers, were shown a $2O0,O00 milling machine set up to perform simultaneously 10 boring and 10 machining opera tons in two-hour cycles, and save in that time 1000 man hours.

 It was upon Morrison's contro- versial speech that the debate cen- tered.
 Hitler has seen the children of his country starving and suggest that if you had shared his experi- ence you would at least begin to u1l- derstand why he is ruthless when protecting his country from repe- tition of that starvation by reason of the blockade" the Duke said.
 Don't forget that when our 11a- tional safety or victory is at stake, we are perfectly prepared to kill the French"
 The Duke asserted that "had the public been told the truth and had 1t been consulted it would never have consented to the Polish AL liance or the Polish war"
 They Blamed Russia
 He blamed Russia for the out break of the first World War in 1914.
 The tall, thin faced, Duke has been identified with peace efforts ever since Britain's entry into the war and in February, 1940, he handed over to the foreign office what he said were Nazi peace pro- posals" which he obtained from the German legation in Dublin.
 A few days later, however, the German minister to Fire, Eduard Hempil, repudiated the pro- posaIe and said that the Duke then the Marquis of Tavistock-had merely discussed the matter with a Eazi legation secretary.
