 find enough nickel out of 165,000 tons to make cargo planes. TRANSFORMATION IS ALL-IMPORTANT
 "It's a question of putting first things first" Kaiser told Bait and other WIPE officials. T figure that when we're fighting 5000 miles away, the very first thing we need Is communications, in other words radio, to give orders to cur troops.
 And the second thing we need, I figure, is to get supplies to them. Getting the supplies there is more important than anything except cOmmunica- tions, first because they can't fight without supplies, second because there is no use making tanks and machine guns and then letting them trust in the United States for lack of trans- pOrtatiOn.
 "So if you want to get the stuff over to the fighting front, you ought to be able to spare a little nickel for me to make en- zines for cargo planes"
 MT. Bait studied the letters, agreed that some means ougf1ht to be found to get materials for car- go planes. However, WIPE off, cials still were reluctant to move, still seemed to think that Kaiser, though good shipbuilder, never could build planes in the time he promised.
 Finally, as they continued to stall, Kaiser sent Bait a telegram saying that he was paying experts $1,000 day out of his own pocket 10 study materials and other tech- nical problems and he wanted an answer.
 Note: Though a lot of details will have to be ironed out, 1t seems certain that Kaiser will set rec ord building cargo planes. CAPITAL CHAFF

 MORE SHARKS FOR MAINE
 A proposal to fly baby soupfish sharks 5000 miles from the Pacific to the Atlantic has just been plac- ed before the Fish and Wildlife Service by Senator Brewster of Maine.
 Brewster points out that soup fish sharks are an important source of vitamin A, of which we ship great quantities to Britain and Russia to give stamina to their troops.
 Though most people would just as soon have fewer sharks in their waters, Brewster proposes that the soupfish sharks be cultivated off New England in order to save sub- sequent transportation across the continent.
