JAP LOSSES ON
 SEA ARE HEAVY
Many Planes Also Lost at SOlOmOns; Damage Set
 at $1S4,3OO,OOO
BY FRANCIS MCCARTHY

With U. 5. Marines on Guadal- canal, Oct. 10-(delayed)-(UP)- The Japanese navy and air force in the past 50 days have lost ships and war planes in the Solomon Islands war zone worth at least $184. ESQ., 900 as the result of repeated at- tacks by American airmen alone, the American defenders of Guadal- canal estimated today.
 U. S. Navy and Marine flyers fin dive bombers and torpedo-carrying planes from Aug. 2l-Oct. 10 sank or put out of commission for months $174.000.000 worth of Japanese surface craft, ranging cruisers to troop transports.
 Army, Navy and Marine fighter pilots definitely destroyed 200 enemy planeS worth at least $l0,- 380,000. Numerous aircraft shot down by anti-aircraft batteries during the two week period from Aug. 2, when the Marines landed in the SolomonS. and Aug. 21, when tEe first American war planes arrived in the islands, are not in- cluded in the foregaing losses.
 Many Japanese planes destroyed on the ground Aug. 2 also are not included.
 The figures likewise do not cover two enemy troops transports, to- taling 10000 tons and a recon naissance- bomber seaplane, for which qualified sources could not estimate the cost. Several score Japanese planes destroyed by car- rier-based planes or anh-aircraft guns of U. S. naval cadets also were excluded.
 A breakdown of the losses and the construction cost for the differ ent categories revealed the Japanese navy lost:
 Thirteen destroyers, ss.OOO.O0O each; i've light cruisers. $i5.O00. 900 each; two heavy cruisers, s50. 0.000. 900 each: two troop transports, Gne Of i4,000 tons and the other of 5000 tons, cost of which, could not be as- certained. (The costs given gre those for American naval vessels; the Japanese probably build them for less)
 Some of the above vessels were definitely sunk. while the remainder were left in such battered condition they could not be used again for months. Enemy losses in personnel and troops could not be estimated.
 The place losses included 60 Mit- suhishl-e7 twin-engined bosnbers ct SIS GOO apiece: 40 Mitsubiahl Zero fighters Rt e4O,OO0 each: nine Zero seapianes at e35O. 900 each; one four- enRlned tWln-tailed bomber esti- mated at elo0.O00, and one Fecon- nafssance- -bomber seapiane whose cost could not be established.
 At least B4s 5apaness alFnlen were lost with the 900 planes, hy most conservative estimate.

IDEA
 STILL PREVAILS
Henry Kaiser Urges Nation to Do Better in
 Production

Boston, Oct. 30-(UP)-Henry J Kaiser, west coast master ship builder, believes that people will be blown to pieces" if tts.y continue to "sit on the lid of progress.
 American industry still is fol- lowing "the defensive idea" he told more than 2500 industrialists al the dinner of the associated indus tries of Massachusetts last night.
 At the anne tir,e, Joseph 0. Grew, former Ambassador to Japan, warned that Japan's objective was "the complete enslavement and ex- ploitation of at beast half the world.
 If we answer Japanese slave mobilization with our own free mo- bilization," Grew said, i've shall win gloriously and well. But if we are slow in exerting our full ef- forts, victory will recede further and further and will be purchased ul- timately at terribly high cost of blood and disappointment"
 Kaiser said the field of produc- tion is fully as important as the field of battle, and that regard less of what we have accomplished we must now do better"
 He suggested that industrialists stop "kicking" about governmental red tape and produce their own raw materials if shortages are hold ing up production lines.
 Assailing American industry for still clinging to conservative meth ods of production, he said that if tkcre is determined will to make unprecedented methods work, the means can usuelly be found.
 Perhaps there is limit to hu- man ingenuity" Kaiser said, "but certainly we are still far from such a limit. conservative methods hold us back-thc fear of travelling unknown and untried paths"
 He said 1t was not right for Am erican industry to have this fear, because our soldiers overseas have faith in the productive and organ iNng genius of American industry to supply them with weapons of war.
 He warned that managers and investors who will not go all out now, taking chance on their own survival, are unworthy of sur- vival."

War Needs Spark New Life Into Americas Long-Dead
 "ISinglaSS" Mining Industry
BY DAVENPORT STEWARD NEA Service Staff COFresUOndent

NEA Service StafR Correspondent
 Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 30 - Thanks to war-stymied imports, Q long mori- bund industry of Georgia, North Carolina, and Vermont is getting a shot in the arm that authorities think will keep it alive and kick ing in profits after the war. It's the mining of mica.
 Most people know this strategic mineral as "isinglaSs" and don't think much about it except at Christmas. when they buy box of mica flake "snow" to sprinkle on the Christmas tree, and after Christmas, when they cuss it as they try to vacuum the stubborn stuff out Of the rugs.
 MINERAL HAS
 MANY WAR USES
 But high-grade mica is used in the ignition system of planes, tanks and trucks, in the booster station equipment of transocean cables in radio tubes and conden- sers. As an insulating material - in spark plugs, for example-mica is far superior to porcelain.
 Tn peaceful years, this country imported most of its high grade mica from Madagascar and India, but to-day Uncle Sam looks to Georgia, North Carolina and Ver- mont to supply him with 100000 pounds per annum. These three states supplied 8 great deal of mica during World War I, but after the arrnistice mica mining vanished from Georgia and drop ped pretty low in Vermont.
 North Carolina remained as the principal domestic producer, but 1t never supplied the needs of a nation of motorists and radio fans.

 war-valuable mica, brought up from a 1O0-fOOt deep Georgia
 mine. Most of the mica came again from the lands of cheap labor. AUTHORITY SEES REAL COMEBACK"
 Georgia has vast mica deposits, but not a single mica mine was in operation on January l. Today there are 25. Each produces from 100 to 1000 pounds a day, more than half of its commercially val uable.
 Captain Garland Peyton, Georgia's s state geologist. thinks the state is in the mica business to stay this time. Right now, he said, state and federal geologists are compil- ing reports on prospects, in 30 counties.
 Mica is taken from deep in the earth in books" which may be from six inches to almost three feet thick. The books are made up Of thin sheets, easily separated with a sharp knife and all that which is not "clear, smooth and hawless" Is trimmed away.
 Sheet or patterns mica ranges in size from Ia by 2 inches to 12 by 12, but sheets are rarely more than 6 by 8. Present prices are $l.10 a pound for sheets 1-2 by 2 inches to $8 a pound for sheets 6 by 8.
 The smallest classified size is punch" which is about as big as a half dollar. You're familiar with punch as the window in ordinary electric fuses.
 Captain Peyton expects North Carolina to produce about half the nations needs. Georgia and Ver- mont to split the balance.
