Wright came back, however, to
contribute two brilliant sprinting
performances as the Buckeyes cap

Advisers Urge Nelson
To LET Kaiser Build
Few Cargo Planes
Contract Would Depend
On Showing Specifications
For Workable Croft
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

War Production Chief Donald
M. Nelson has before him the
definite recommendation of air
craft advisers that Henry J.
Kaiser, West Coast shipbuilder,
be provided with facilities and
materials and given a contract to
build several pilot" cargo planes,
The Star learned today.
This recommendation was made,
1t was said, with the provision that
Mr.. Kaiser be able to show plans and
specifications for a workable plane.
The shipbuilder, accompanied by en-
glneers, spent an hour and a half
late yesterday going over with Mr..
Nelson the plans of the plane de-
signed by Mr.. Kaiser's new asso-
ciate, Howard Hughes. No decision
was made public at the end of the
conference.
The advisers are satisfied, it was
said, that Mr.. Kaiser can be
launched In the airplane business
experimentally without a dislocation
of the military craft program. The
recommendation contained no re-
strictlons, as did Mr. Nelson's letter
OF month ago, in which Mr.. Kaiser
was told to dig up new sources of
materials, and provide new facilities
without interference with the ex-
isting program.
Want to Give Him Chance.
1t was conceded that Mr.. Kaiser
at the time had presented no plans
or concrete program, in fact, nothing
but a desire to build cargo planes.
The need for more planes was held
to. be great, however, and in view
of Mr.. Kaisers record of achieve
ment in other lines it was consid-
cred advisable to give him a chance.
If the pilot" planes work out well
the shipbuilder would be given a
much larger order.
Mr.. Nelson probably will accept
the recommendation, it was stated,
if his experts pronounce the Hughes
design feasible.
This was the best decision, 1t
was said, Mr.. Kaiser can hope for
in the parleys now going on here.
1t was believed unlikely that he
will be given a contract or letter
of intent for any considerable num-
Der of planes.
Mr.. Kaiser has been seeking
contract for a large lumber of air
craft. During his first conference
in this visit with Mr.. Nelson the
shipbuilder was understood to have
asked for letter of intent for 100
big planes.
The Hughes plane, it was said, is
flying boat with twin hulls and
seven engines. Mr.. Nelson, follow
ing the second session with Mr..
Kaiser yesterday, said they had dis
cussed only flying boats, having one
as well as two hulls. They also dis
cussed the possibility of building

Senate Unit Approves
Bill Opening Homes
To War Workers
Four Other D. G. Bills
Receive Backing
Of Committee
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate District Committee
today approved five bills, includ-
ing the House amendment to the
Rent Control Act designed to en-
courage private homes to take in
war workers.
The change in the Rent Act would
enable private homes to take in four
roomers without being classified as
boarding houses, and would enable
the householder to terminate the
tenancy without proving in court
that the tenant is a legal nuisance.
The four other bills reported
favorably are:
Increasing the penalty for indecent
exposure to make possible 90-day
jail sentence or fine of $3.50. At
present the penalty is limited to a
fine. The bin has passed the House.
Requiring the annual registration
of all practitioners of the healing
arts, and the payment of a 50 fee
each year to cover the cost of the
licensing system. This also has
passed the House.
To provide for the better registra-
ton of illegitimate births, and to
protect the names of such children
by making the records private. This
bill still requires House action.
To amend the charter of st, AIMS
Infant Asylum to permit it to own
property up to limit of $1,000 900
The original charter, passed by
Congress 80 years ago, was limited
to 100000. This also requires House
action.
The committee also discussed, but
postponed action until next week. on

RAF Planes Shower
DuesseIdof With
Mass Of Explosives
81 Aircraft Lost in
Attack by Hundreds
Of British Bombers
By the Associated Press

os the associated Press.
| LONDON, Sept. 11.-Hundreds
Of British bombers unloaded a
terrific weight of high explosives
over Dusseldorf last night,
spreading the tion
wrought in that important Ger
man industrial city in 40 pre-
vious raids.
Other targets in Western Ger
many also were attacked during the
night operations, which the British
said had cost the Raj 81 planes
This was the same number the Ger
mans claimed to have shot down.
The exact number Of aircraft
which participated in the assault on
Dusseldorf was not disclosed, but
from first reports it seemed prob
able that it exceeded the total
employed in the last great attack
on that city, July 81. Thirty planes
were lost in that raid.
Dusseldorf, "a miles from Cologne,
on the right bank of the Rhine, is a
great center of metallurgical, ma
chinery and chemical industries.
The attack came after one-night
lull in the British air offensive, dur
ing which Russian bombers kept up
the pounding of Germany by raid
ing Berlin, Budapest and Koenigs-
burg.
1t was the seventh Raj attack
on Germany in the last 10 nights.
Observers in London saw in the
whipsawing British and Russian at
tacks evidence of a co-ordinated
program, designed to spread Ger
many's aerial defenses thinly over
a broad area and thus make the
Reich even more vulnerable to
massed assaults.
Russian reports on the Soviet
raids Wednesday night, when bad
weather in the west kept the RAF
at home, said SO fires were started
in Budapest, IL in Berlin and 16
in Koenigsberg, Moscow reported
the loss of two bombers.
Britain again was raid-free last
| night after Raj lighters had turned
back several small-scale German
forays along the east coast during
the evening.
Early today two Nazi raiders-be-
lieved to have been Focke-Wulf 1870
lghters-swooped over the south
east coast and dropped several
bombs in an orchard, causing some
damage to nearby houses. Spitfires
chased the raiders off.
Later a German plane was shot
down into the sea by anti-aircraft
defenses after it had bombed
southwest coast town and caused
number of casualties.
The Paris radio reported today
that an air-raid alert was sounded
and anti aircraft batteries went into
action last night at Clermont Fer
! rand when unidentified planes few
over.
