NEW YORK, Sept IA - CUPD -
Deacon Bill McKechnie, the beS9ec-
tacled and usually benign manager
of the Cincinnati Reds, exploded
angrily when informed what the
Dodger President Larry McPhail
had said about him
1t was a downright shame that
this information had to be relaycd
to McKechnie, who was smiling
contentedly as lie laced a shoe in
the dressing room deep under the
Ebbets field stands-just after his
Reds had beaten the Dodgers
twice, knocking them out of the
National league lead
BIT the mills of journalism grind
relentleSsly, SO reporter said to
McKechnie, Boy, oh boy! DID Mac
Phail just put the blast on you in
the clubroom. He said you arc
playing faVorites, doing everything
you can TO beat the Dodgers so
that the Cardinals will win the
pennant. He said you deliberately
pitched johnny Wander Nicer out
of turn against the Dodgers or
their last trip to Cincinnati, 50 you
wouldn't have to use him against
the Cards

shoe-lacking with such ( jerk that
he almost diSlodged his Spectacles
It was the first time we ever saw
him fighting mad.
He snarled. 'Why2that red faced

who can tell me when to use q

"Why-if l used turns in pitch
ing, Ray Starr wouldn't have been
in there today against the Dodgers.
I sent him in with only two days
rest. He pitched tWo-hitter
against the Dodgers or any other
club. MacPhail just can't take it,"
With deacon Willie splitting out
words like an irate tomcat, the re-
porters figured this was the NOM
ent to ask him for a solid pennant
prediction. But shreWd William
balefully evaded. He declined to
thumb the Dodgers out of the race,
despite his wrath against their

the Fort has proved a perfect
complement to the RATS gil
gantic night bombers. The Fort
is said to be a bit more ma
recoverable than the Lancaster
though, with equally light bomb
loads, their cruising speeds are
about the same-180 miles an
hour.
On gun power as on strength
of construction, the Fortress is
considered to be the better
plane. The Lancaster carries
caliber 100 guns which lob in
stead of drive a bullet, and it
cannot open fire until a German
fighter has approached danger
ously close. British air experts
realize this weakness and it is
possible that some future Raj.

They Laughed When First BIZ
Sat Down on a British Airdrome
BY DOM SUTTON
Editor of NEA Service

u. S. BOMBER STATION,
Britain, Dec. 17-They laughed
when the first Bit sat down on
British air-drome.
They said she couldn't take
it-that she would be a sucker
for the Focke Wulf 1905 and
the Messerschmitts, that she
needed air cannon instead of
those machine guns, that her
bomb load wasn't heavy enough
to make her useful in the Euro
pean theater.
But their laughter turned to
cheers when the Bit finally
went into action, with American
crews pursuing American tao
tics, over France. And today the
BIZ, which you like to call the
Flying Fortress, is a fair-haired
girl of the air wars over here.
The Bit has proved she can
take it and give it. There isn't
man at this field who wouldn't
rather fly her across the Chan
mel than fly the larger British
Lancasters and Strings. Time
after time flax from enemy
ground guns and bullets from
German fighters have riddled
Flying Fortresses to an extent
that probably would have
spelled disaster for any other
plane in the world; yet these
sleek four-motored jobs have
managed to come limping back
over the cliffs of Dover to the
shelter of friendly airdromes.
A THOUSAND
BULLET-HOLES
I saw badly battered Fort
just in from a mission the other
afternoon. A wing was unbe-
lievably crumpled-up-and a
sergeant had counted over a
thousand holes in the ships
fuselage. One shell hole was SO
large that the crew had been
planning to use it as a parachute
exit if it became necessary to
abandon the craft.
But, even more important,
the firing power of the BIZ has
COMPOUNDED one-time critics of
the big Boeing plane. The thir-
teen so caliber machine guns
which she carries have proved
superior to air cannon. These
Brownings fire faster, have more
rounds of ammunition. A Ger
man 100 will disintegrate in
mid-air nearly as fast from the
impact of heavy machine gun
bullets as from a she'll.
The Bit still is not the equal
of the heavy British Lancaster
as bomb-carrier. For normal
night raids the Lancaster loads
about eight tons of bombs, the
Fortress considerably less. But
as a daytime precision bomber,

were shot down in flames while
trying high altitude bombing
from $4,000 feet.
In fairness to those early Forts:
they were flown by British
crews, unfamiliar with the nice
ties of American big planes.
They also were under gunned.
At that time there were no
caliber so Brownings in the tail
of the plane, so it was extreme
ly vulnerable when attacked
from the rear. Later BITES
overcame this fault - just as
now the bomb capacity of the
new Boeings is being increased
TO match or nearly match the
Lancaster and the new German
HeinkelS.

Plastic Age
to Begin in
Coming Year
BY JOHN b. LEWIS

NEW YORK, Dec. II -(R)-
Wizards in the world of substi-
tutes predict that 1913 will be
the beginning of the "plastics
age"
And if you think you've look
ed through lot of that trans
parent stuff, manufacturers say
you amt seeen nothing yet"
Biggest single news item in
the 860-page plastic catalog for
next year, a huge book not yet
off the press, is beer and bev-
erage bottle cap. 1t will replace
100000 tons of steel - enough
to construct As liberty ships.
The most hopeful experiment
now in progress is an all-plas-
tic automobile tire.
Thousands of plastic parts 60
into modern-day battleships, and
from the emergency needs in
duced by war, the inventors of
new products have allowed their
imaginative minds to stray to
the creation of such varied de-
vices as plastic bugles (for the
Army and plastic horse gas
masks (for the cavalry.
Explaining the growth of plas-
tics and the overnight applica-
ton of them to military, indus
trial and civilian use, Charles
A. Breskin, publisher of Mod
ern Plastics Magazine and auth
or of the new catalog, said to-
day in an interview:
THE war has shifted the plas-
tics industry around in such an
amazing manner as to set the
stage right now for the plastics
age. A year ago plastics played
an emergency role in substitute
ing for and replacing the stra-
tegic metals and rubbers.
THE war job performed was
so excellent, the conversions so
numerous, that many plastics
also became critical materials,
available only for war usage"
The "all-seeing" plaStic-top-
ped motor car of the future is
already styled and ready, Bres-
kin said. Plastic textiles used in
drapes and curtains will resist
dirt and grease, and plastic jar
top Sc ers will soon make
housewives forget how the Japs
bottled up the rubber industry.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Dec. IT,
R)-Seven thousand union en-

Although the union Air

ate others taking advantage of
us because we have given up

The union is asking 95 cents

the current go cent level. Paul

sentative at aircraft wage stab

was that voluntary enlistments
should be continued until the de-
mand slackens.
Industry Hard Pressed.
Industry, however, has become
hard pressed to keep skilled and
semi-skilled men and it was re-
ported to have requested the Man
power Commissions Management
Labor Policy Committee to give the
matter due consideration.
In Government circles it is said
that lack of clear occupational de-
ferment policy and the great varia-
ton in the action of local draft
boards have hampered industry. It
is said that workers and employers
have been given no clear basis on
which future plans might be made.
Reports say that many workers
have changed jobs needlessly in the
hope of improving their deferment,
and many skilled workers have left
their jobs to enlist because of fear
that they would be drafted in any
event If they waited. Employers, it
was said, have not been able to
determine definitely how many
workers they would have to replace
and In many cases have gone along
optimistically without training ad-
equate requirements.
The Management Labor Com.
mittee is said to have made an
exhausted study and after having
heard statements by key Army and
Navy ofi1cials, recommended that the
commission discuss with appropriate
Federal authority the subject of

Cotton Crop Income
May Reach Highest
Level Since 1925
$780, ,0O0, 900 Return
Forecast if September
Prices Are Held
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department said
today that this years cotton crop,
if sold at September farm prices
for lint and seed, would return to
growers $3.50, 900, 900. the highest
income since 1925, and 80 per cent
more than the 1941 crop.
The crop would bring s1,432 ,00o,-
600, the department said, If sold at
last seasons average farm prices
for lint and seed. An income of
that size would be the largest since
1928.
The September farm price of
lint-18.59 cents a pound-was the
highest for any September since
1927. The price of seed was $45.33
per ton which, except for Septem-
ber and October. 1941, was the
highest since December, 1928.
Tight Labor Situation.
In a report analyzing future cot
ton prospects, the department said
domestic consumption during the
current season was expected to
reach a level of 100000 bales,
compared with 100000 in the sea-
son which closed July 81. 1t said
that further increases in consump-
ton would be limited because of a
tight labor situation in the cotton
textile industry and the near
capacity operation of many mills.
With this years crop exceeding
the volume expected to be consumed
domestically and exported, the car.
ryover next July 81 probably will
be larger than the 1O,500 ,OO0-bale
carryover of July 81 this year, the
department said.
The only cotton OF which there
is definitely an oversupply under
existing war conditions is the short
staple cotton, a high proportion OF
which is in the lower grades" the
department said.
Consumption Boosted.
The Census Bureau reported todav
that cotton consumed during Sep
tember totaled 966,149 bales of lint
and 114,537 bales of inters, compared
with 925 089 of lint and 122,l38 of
linters during August this year and
877971 OF lint and 129,608 of linters
during September last year.
Cotton on hand September 80 was
