Flight Sergeant Michael Stein ia
cObs, who left his home in Balti-
more, Md, last year to fly with
the II. A. F., wrote home to his
wife the other day. Touching on
the subject of the r.. A. FPS mass
raid on Cologne during May, he
told Mrs. Jacobs that plane fol-
lowed plane SO closely it was all
the chief pilot could do to keep
them from humping into each
other.
Mrs. Jacobs had deleted the
more personal paragraphs Of
Mikes letter, but here's what he
had to say about the Cologne
raid:
"Over the target we weren't
worried about the defenses SO
much as humping into other air
craft. Everywhere you looked
there were planes. 1t seemed like
one big formation.
This was the conversation over
the intercom' (the planes inter-
communication system), especial
ly from the rear gunner: Hello,
Captain, two Wellingtons on the
starboard, one Halifax just above,
and I think there's a Sterling
right behind. F" The sarge goes
on to say that on the way back
British flyers commented on the
number of their own planes which
they had seen, and certain rear
gunner remarked facetiously:
"Yeah, 1 saw a traffic cop just
as we crossed tie Dutch coast
and he was waving and shouting,
This way
If the United Nations keep this
up, something will have to be
done about getting the R. A. F.

CHASE F0REMEN
 TO OMIT DINNER

Foregoing for the first time in more than a quarter-century it's annual banquet, in order not to in- terupt production at the Chase Co.'S assembly lines even for day, the Chase Foremen's club instead has voted to celebrate this year by the purchase of a $1,000 defense bond.
 Club officials estimate that the annual affair has cost about $1 ,00O in past years, and have determined to invest the same sum in bond of freedom" carcelling the dinner scheduled for Feb IA.
 The Chase company is now en- gagged in war production work six days week on a three shift basis and holding the annual banquet would necessitate stoppage of work on two of the shifts.
 The decision to omit the dinner this year was made at a meeting at the clubrooms last evening, on recommendation of the board of governors.

the purchase of other types of in duStrial goods, an amount equal to not more than 10 per cent of our annual industrial capacity
 When the two and one-half bil- lion dollars of defense contracts are divided between the two years of 1940 and 194l, it is apparent, the report stated, that tWo-thirds of the amount was awarded in the first year and only third dur ing the entire past year.
 Some 65 per cent of the 1900 mill lion dollars let in war contracts in l940 went for ships, and a large share of the remainder for airplane manufactures and ammunition-in short, fighting tools. This year, however, the volume and variety of defense purchases have widened out over the entire industrial fab- ric of New England, accounting for the progressive upward rise in the physical volume of industrial out put for the region.
 New England'S industrial output has increased 40 per cent since the beginning of the defense program, using the last peace year, 1889, as the base, the report said. This in crease in the physical volume of New England production may be measured in three significant pe- riods: June-October, 1940; January May, 1941, and June October, l941. They are significant, the Council statisticians stated, because two of the periods, June to October, 1940, and 1941, included the mid summer months which normally reflect de. clines in output.
 The substantial gains In New England production were achieved then, during the off season by main. taining production schedules dur. ing periods of normal letdoWn

Boston, Jan. 9.--(SpeciaD - How New England tackled the job ot producing two and one-half billion ing 1940 and 1941, and what hap pened to business in these six states as a result, is detailed in a report prepared and issued today by the statistical department of the New England Council.
 Increasingly New England manu- lecturers have geared their produc- ton facilities to the needs of the defense program, the Councils re- port sad. Just before the Pearl Har- Dor attack, these states were devot- ing from 25 to B per cent of their plant capacities to war production. These percentages will have to dou- ble if New England is to do it's share under the program submitted to Congress by the President, in the Councils opinion. This means that more workers will be released from consumer industries and moved into war industries. Training pro- grams will be speeded up to supply an increasing stream of skilled and semi-skilled workers. To achieve the necessary man and woman power essential for realization of New England's share in our production goal will require the united effort of all New England's human resources.
 At the end of 1941, New England had received approximately two and one-half billion dollars in war contracts, about 10 per cent Of which was for expansion of indus trial facilities. Nearly half of the entire amount went for naval and maritime ship construction. Another 20 per cent, or about 800 million dollars, was for construction of air. planes, engines and parts. Approxi- mately 600 million dollars went into

CHICAGO, May 20.-After fiuc-
tuating alternately above and below
previous closing figures most of the
session, wheat prices today de-
veloped an upward tendency in the
final hour, registering gains of as
much as cent.
Buying was inspired partly by the
fact that wheat prices were substan-
TALLY below the 1912 loan rate. Most
crop reports were favorable, but
harvest may get under way a little
later than usual in the Southwest
because of the recent frequency Of
rains and cool weather. There were
reports of fly damage and lodging
because of rank growth in parts
of Kansas. of greater than antici-
pated green bug damage in parts
OF Oklahoma and of delayed spring
wheat seeding in the Northwest.
