ANNISTON, Ala. July 3O.-A Fed

mediate 4 wage dispute between bus

has tied up public transportation in
three North Alabama centers Of war

Indications were that the concilia-

from Birmingham, would open con-

sentatives of the Crescent Motors,
Inc; Crescent Stages, Inc. and the
AFL Amalgamated Association Of

Lee Claims Support
OF U. 5. Air Experts
For Cargo Plane Plan
Koiser Is Scheduled
To Testify Today on
Shipyord Proposal
D. the Associated Press.

,. the Associated Press.
Strong support from aeronaut-
ical experts within the admins
tration was claimed today by
Senator Lee, Democrat, of Okla
home for his proposal to divert
shipbuilding facilities to con-
struction Of giant planes for
movement of troops and sup
plies.
Senator Lee cited Grover Looming,
aircraft designer and technical con-
sultant for the War Production
Board, as lust one" of q number of
experts he said were convinced of
the desirability of shifting a per-
centage Of ship production to flying
boats similar to the lotion Mars.
Kaiser viii Testify.
A Senate Military Affairs Subcom-
mittee of which Senator Lee is
chairman, rs well Is the Special De-
tense Committee headed by Senator
Truman, Democrat, Of Missouri,
turned today to Henry J. Kaiser,
West Coast shipbuilder, for advice in
their search for an answer to the
submarine menace.
Mr.. Kaiser, delayed temporarily
ut Baltimore yesterday, was ready to
explain to both committees his pro-
posal for the production Of huge
aerial fighters by nine shipyards, in
eiudine some of his own.
Mr.. Looming and Harold E. Talbot
WPB director of air transportation
told committeeman yesterday that
lack of airplane engines presented
the greatest obstacle.
They said engines in sight, with
horsepower suficient to operate the
flying boats, had been allocated
through 1943 to bomber and fighter
planes, and that greater production
would require increased allocatfons
Of scarce steel alloys.
Solution Held Possible.
Mr.. Looming, however. suggested
that engineering experts might be
able to overcome obstacles in view
OF the pressing need for quicker
transportation.
Shipyard operators. he declared,
should burn the midnight oil" to
devise engineering changes for quick
conversion and the designing OF
new cargo and transport ships
SHOULD be expedited"
He said engine losses Of possibly
10 per cent in movement by water
could he curtailed considerably by
air freighter delivery, and that the
tremendous saving in time afforded
BY air movement would In itself
mean ether engine savings that
might be diverted to cargo planes.
THE solution is possible. and
American ingenuity can solve the
problem" he declared.

chief engineer, revealed Thursday
A ESQ watt ultra-high frequency
transmitter has been ordered ano
delivery is expected within 30 days
Jones said. The new TRANSMITTED
will be of the frequency modulated
type, and will operate on fre.
quency of $500 kilocycles.
The problem of getting the auto
mobile receivers is the principa
headache at present, Jones pointed
out, but delivery on them is ex.
pected within 80 days.
At the present, the police depart.
ment is operating three new mo.
bile ultra-high frequency transmit.
ters of the frequency modulateo
type in three cruising cars, anc
one has been installed in the Fire
Chiefs automibile.
The preliminary tests on these
four units have exceeded all expec.
tations, Jones said, and a distance
of IL miles has been covered in
Tie teStS.
This distance, he pointed out, is
more than three times the distance
covered by the old transmitting
units operating from the cars.
The new equipment is built by
the Fred M. Link Engineering COM
pany of New York City, and is
modern in every detail.
A feature of the new transmitters
is the operation on more than one
frequency. This will enable the op-
orators in the curising cars to con-
verse with each other as well as
the headquarters station, by mere
ly flicking a switch.
The frequency modulated type
of transmitter has the distinction
of being practically 'static free, ="
and it will prove a great help to
the operator in the headquarters
station, Jones said, as heretofore
the summer static has been "ear-
splitting at times.
