Victim of Accident
In Pensacola Boy

A collision of two Navy patro'
planes over Pensacola Bay Wednes-
day took the lives Of nine men, in
cluding Aviation Cadet Barclay
Nelson Dorman. 27-year -old son OF
DR.. and Mrs. Horatio D. Dorman
42O1 Fordham road NV. 1t has been
announced by Pensacola Naval All
Station officials.
The Associated Press reported
Navy officials had not determined
the cause of the collision but added
that the planes apparently crashed
close to the surface of the water
while practicing landing and taking
of maneuvers.
Cadet Dorman was born In
Brunswick, Me-, November 10. 1915
and received his early education in
Washington, raduating from
Western High School in 1898. He
was lieutenant in the Washington
High School Cadet Corps.
Attended G.. w. Two Years.
Cadet Dorman attended George

then transferred to Bates College
at Lewiston, Me, where he received
his B. S. degree in 1898. While al
Bates, he was president OF the
student council and business man
ager and co-founder of the Bates

Through the sponsorship of the
Cadillac Co. Of this city he received

were difficulties in the months that
followed, increasing restrictions on
their business. It was hard to get
materials. Trucks to carry their
products to the stores were faced
with tire shortage and gas curtail-
ment. There was talk In Washing
ton, they'd heard, Of concentrating
industries, of eliminating unneces-
sary ones for the duration especial
ly those making something non
essential or obtainable elsewhere.
The brothers were sure the country
could get along without them while
it was winning its hardest war.
After all, people could get hats from
many sources.
Hunch Develops.
"Gee," said Bill, Il wish we could
get into some sort of war work
Il heard something yesterday"
Joe ventured.
He'd heard there was al engineer
drifting around the region from the
War Production Board The BROTH
ers located him. He was from the
WPB Smaller War Plants Division.
The engineer was interested. He
looked their little plant over, exam
ined the machinery with skilled
eyes and fingers. He made = sug-
gestion. The brothers went into 4
huddle.
But I'm afraid we couldn't
finance the conversion" Bill said
ruefully.
Hadn't they ever heard Of the
Smaller War Plants Corp, the en-
gineer wanted to know. Vaguely,
Joe recalled, but he hadn't known
what 1t did. It was, the engineer
explained, the financial power be-
hind the WPB Smaller War Plants
Division. It was formed for Just
such purposes.
The result was that Bill and Joe
got a loan-enough to enable them
to change their machinery around
to readjust the whole plant, which
turned out not to be too tough = job
| Help Make Weapons.
Today they're making gun parts
Of the highest precision. And
they've had to put on extra people
to run 4 round -the-clock shift. The
Army needs every piece OF equip
ment they turn out-as soon a.
possible.
The basic fact of the episode
the conversion Of 4 hat factory into
gun-parts shop. Is = matter OF
record at the WPB division and the
corporation. There are similar in
stances of adaptation from civilian
to war uses, more than 4 few.
! But those are, 1t might be said
the dramatic instances They do not
tell the story by any means. A large
number of 'non-essential' small
scale plants, caught in the backwash
of stringent war economy, still
are threatened with extinction for
the duration. 1t has not, to date
proved feasible or even possible to
convert more than 4 comparatively
small percentage Of them. though
the Government hopes to do more
and more of that and, meanwhile,
to preserve as many as possible OF
the factories producing civilian
necessities.
Different Opinions.
Philip D. Reed, of WPB, told the
House Small Business Committee
last summer that there were more
than $4,000 such concerns which. in
his opinion. could not be converted
into making war supplies or essential
civilian products. Charles r. Hines,
