Within these spider webs are the thou

AS many as IS bombers are reported to

OF these have been cleared through the
Army air base in Detroit. From other
bases undisclosed numbers OF warplanes

Music critics over the land have ac-
claimed the song as "the hottest thing

don't take chances trying to set records
on the way there"
Runs on Schedule.
That's one of the chief reasons why
everything In the ferrying command
runs on schedule
A pilot doesn't just hang around wait
ing for a call. Usually he knows the
night before where he is going the next
day and at what time he's due 70 take
off. The plane he is to take is tested
thoroughly the day before. He leaves

Should he be overdue, search is started
Immediately.

In the overall view, the pilots of the

NOUS as the railroaders and truck drivers
who keep their supply lines rolling.
If anything. the results are even more
important For squarely on the ferry

the ferrying command operates 50 simply
as to be complicated.
Sector headquarters are located on the
East and West Coasts and at strategic

tories in surrounding States are served.
Pilots Take Over.
Pilots from a West Coast sector. for
instance, pick up planes manufactured
in their areas and start them of to
their eventual destination. If that should
happen to be England, the chances are
that the pilot will fly to Detroit. where
a Detroit pilot will take over. He flies to
a Canadian station where he delivers the
plane to the r. A. F. ferrying command.
Detroit, for the most part, is the
hopping of place for England by way
of Canada. Here special British equip
ment is installed in the planes. Here,
too, they are given their final United
States test flight
But the mere flying of airplanes from
one place to another is not the only
duty of the ferrying command. In ad-

SAN JUAN, P. R-The highway hop
skip-and-jumping down over the Florida
Keys may some day have its Caribbean
counterpart.
Idea is to foil Axis submarines.
Charles w. Taussig, co-president OF
the Anglo-American Caribbean Commits
sion, and Gov. Rexford G. Tugwel of
Puerto Rico, one OF its two other Amer
ican members, brought the scheme-still
very much in the just-thought-of stage
back with them from the commissions
first meeting at Trinidad.
"A land and water West Indies high
way, with ferries bridging the water gaps
separating the islands, might be the
answer to the submarines" Tugweu said.
The Governor, Taussig and Coert Du
Bois, third American member Of the
commission who went to Washington to
plead the Caribbeans urgent need of
ships, agreed that insuring delivery of
food and supplies to the islands trimming
the american Sea" must be their first
job.
Stocks in some Of them are very low"
Taussig and Tugwell said
However, they added, inroads Of Axis
underwater craft and demands on ship
ping OF prime war supply routes are
making it hard to keep enough bottoms
in service to take necessities to the
islands and bring out their own export
products-such as sugar.
That Is where the West Indies highway
Idea may be useful To understand 1t,
look at a map Of the Caribbean.
The West Indian archipelago stretches
IN great arc from the Yucatan
Peninsula Of Mexico to the northeastern
hump Of South America. It is a neck
lace around the throat of the Caribbean,
with Cuba, Hispaniola Dominican Re-
public and Haiti. Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands. Dominica, Antigua, ST. Lucia and
Trinidad its biggest pearls.
For the most part, the length Of the
Islands lies along the arc. Water gaps
between them are narrow; some Of them
are Just two whoops and holler" apart.
Now it should be possible to build,
quickly and cheaply, fleets of bargelike
ferries. powered perhaps with automo-
bile motors to dash across those water
gaps In the daylight hours and make
port on the other side long before night
fall brought lurking submarines to the
surface.
A minimum number of planes patrol
ling the straits, and guns mounted on
the ferries, undoubtedly would discour-
age submersibles during the light of day.
Ferry. Trains.
Once safely across, the ferrys load
would be transshipped to railway cars
or trucks waiting to carry it along the
land reaches, and the ferry would be re-
loaded with produce destined for the
United States or another market, so as
to be ready at dawn to hurry back over
the water gap.
Tugwen and Taussig would be the first
to admit that the scheme has its draw
backs. Some Of them:

some of the settlers invaded the dan

An instance Of this is told in 1.-THE

published in 1873, as relating to the
situation then existing in the Black
