Tank Output
Full Assembly Line
Production Due
There in 80 Days
BY FRED COLLINS

The Ford Motor Company will
be in full assembly line produc-
tiop of a new-motored tank
within 30 days.
The new offensive weapon with
heavy armament has passed its
trial stages in open fields In
vicinity of the Rouge plant and
shortly will be ready for action
against the Axis forces.
The principal feature of the
new field vehicle is motor
mounted in such a manner that
will be able to make
minor repairs within the tank IL
self. Under the old system this
was not possible because OF the
space necessary for the engine and
cooling apparatus.
FINAL WORK AT H P.v
Final assembly OF the tanks win
be at the Highland Park plant.
Speed of the vehicle, which Is
reported TO have been increased
over previous models, is a mill
tary secret as are details of the
horsepower of the new engine.
The body is similar to that now
used on present Bottom models be-
ing made in other factories in the
Detroit area.
The huge furnaces of the COM
pany which have been used in the
past to produce steel and iron for
autos have been converted to war
use to make the steel plates for
tanks and a large number of EN-
ployes who worked on auto pro-
duction either have been or will
be transferred to tank jobs, ii was
learned.
SPEED PRIMARY FACTOR
AS in the case of the Ford
bomber plant, speed has been an
essential factor in the production
of tanks. The governments letter
OF intent to enter into a contract
with the company was not received
until October 10 of last year.
The engine to be used Is the one
which Edsel Ford recently de-
clared could be built on auto
motor assembly lines in vast
quantities with little change in
assembly procedure.
How many tanks are to be built
and the number which might be
produced in a given time remain
a secret Of the United States
Army.

1E war, the national
Maritime Day Observances to-
day have special and great
significance.
National Maritime Day
commentaries the fact that
on May 20, 1919, the Ameri-
can steamer Savannah sailed
from Savannah, Georgia. on
the first successful trans
atlantic voyage under steam
propulsion.
That important event oc-
Cured i'm the very early days
of the American republic, and
was responsible III very mate
rial part for the maritime
prestige Of the United States
throughout most of the in
tervening years.
As Rear Admiral Emory S.
Land, chairman of the u. S.
Maritime Commission, re-
marked I'm connection with
today's commemOration of
the Savannah voyage:
ave started oft as q
salty nation. If zee hadn't
been sailors there ,couldn't
hare been any Pilgrims or
! colonies.
"We'ue topped the World
on the seas at UdyiouS times
in our history. We not only
had the best sailors, but nee
topped them in speed and
ship design-and nc had
the commerce"
But in recent times, the
United States has not main
tanned its maritime prestige
and has not kept pace with
other powers in either num-
bers Of ships or in marine
personnel.
The consequence Of that
neglect was that the present
war, requiring q preponder-
ance Of ocean tonnage for
safe transport of war goods
to every part of the world,
found our country with much
less than sufficient tonnage
and even with a shortage Of
trained men to operate ships
on hand.
Now, we are in the process
OF remedying that precarious
situation. To quote Admiral
Land again:
"There is nothing the
matter t0ith our shipbuild-
ing program-it is up to
schedule and q miracle job
is being done.
Eve delirered into Seru-
ice So neC ships in the.

That's a nelC World'S record
and put that IN your pipe
and smoke It.
eve are beginning to de-
lirer ttCo ships each day,
and are building more ships
than the rest Of the uorid
combined"
That sets up a splendid
background for nationa
Maritime Day but it does not
tell the whole story of our
shipping problem.
Admiral Land tells why in
these words:
"EUen iChen our victory

effort faces failure unless

has been published. Dickerson tells the
story:
wv. G.. Quinn OF Wicheta Falls, Tex,
of Wicheta Falls Refining Co., offered
me 81 900 900 for our holdings. I was
at the Northern hotel In Billings.
drove all night to get to Lewistown
and got our bunch together and put
the offer up to them. After a great
deal Of arguing, Mike Hall did not like
the deal He said 1t was all right what
ever we did was all right with him, but
he wanted a million dollars for his
interest. We had invested $153.10 each
and If we had sold we would have
received $111,111 each. But as Mike
Hall would not sign the papers we
could not sell.
up to the present time our company
has paid out of oil about $4,000 per
man and is still paying dividends
which from an investment of $153l0
each.
Harry Brown was offered SOS 600
for his royalty on 800 acres and re-
fused the offer. was sitting In Walter
Winnett's office when he was offered
$500, 900 for his ranch in Winnett, %
miles from the oil field, and he re-
fused that offer. The last time heard
of Walter Winnett he was living in
San Diego with his daughter.
THE local public frowned on the
Cat Greek field before we got oil but
after the field was established and
oil was being shipped to Greybull,
Wyo, and refined, and gasoline
shipped back to Lewistown, then they
paid big price for the gasoline, and
cried about the price. They let mil
lions Of dollars slip through their fin
gers and then complained because
outsiders made money"
Dickerson opines that things haven't
changed He is now trying to finance
a test on Seven Mile structure, near
Alzada, in southeastern Montana,
where Frank Frantz found oil before
he drilled Cat Greek. People are Just
as skeptical today as they we're in
the early days Of Cat Greek, he says.
Had Frank Frantz lived a few years
longer, Seven Mile structure would not
be open to investment today. he says, |
for the reason that Frantz intended |

which he had proven present.
