Shortage in Steel
CurtaiIs Output
Of U. 5. AirpIanes
WPB Official Declares
Every Engine Already
Assigned to Plane

WASHINGTON, July 20.
(UP) = A war production
board official today told the
senate committee investigat-
ing the war program that the
nations steel shortage is So acute
that every airplane engine we have
scheduled for delivery in l943 al
ready has been allocated to par
ticular plane"
Harold E. Taoot, chairman of
the WPB'S air transportation COM
mittee, asserted that the principal
"bottleneck and obstacle" to mass
production of giant cargo-carrying
airplaneS is steel shortage which
cuts sharply into the number OF
suitable engines which can be man
ufactured.
He appeared in connection with
the committees inquiry into the
proposals Of Henry j. Kaiser, West
Coast shipbuilder, for construction
of huge cargo and transport planes
to carry military supplies and
troops.
The inquiry stemmed from cancel
lation by the maritime commission
of its contract with Andrew Jack
son Higgins, New Orleans ship
builder, for construction of 200 Liber-
ty ships, and Kaiser's subsequent
proposal that some ShipyardS be
turned to construction of cargo
/ planes. Talbot was summoned to
testify on the possibility of using
the uncompleted Higgins yard for
planes.
Talbot testified that both the war
and navy departments are convinced
| that wooden cargo planes are feaS-
ible and have let orders for a
considerable number" but that
neither department plans such huge
planes as the 75-ton monsters urged
by Kaiser.
| Committee counsel Hugh Fulton
revealed that the committee has
been told by laiSe plane designer
that planes have already been pro-
duced for wooden cargo planes to

The aerial second front against
the Germans already is striking
telling blows, including another 600
plane RAF raid with block buster
bombs on the NaZi submarine base
and port at Hamburg Tuesday night
1000 tons of explosives on Hamburg
and Duisburg over the weekend.
These attacks far exceeded the
worst that the luftwaffe could heap
on Englands war centers during
the battle of Britain, but experts
still were divided on whether any
thing short of big scale invasion
would help the Red army.
Moscow dispatches, renewing calls
for second front, left no doubt
that the war had reached it's most
critical phase in southern Russia.
with the NaziS reported using 20
armored divisions of possibly 10000
tanks in an effort to force a deci-
sion.
DECISION CLEAR
The decision which the German
high command seeks Is now clear.
They want to reach the Caucasus
oil fields and the Stalingrad indus
trial region on the Volga river to
cut off the main routes for Russian
oil, interrupt supplies from America
and split the Soviet fighting forces
But these are means to an end
The ultimate objective is to weaken
the Red army and push it back to-
ward the Urals until it no longer
can be the main military threat
/ against the Axis in Europe.
II that goal is achieved it would
be possible for the Nazis, even il
they had to keep many second-ra
divisions on Russian front next
! winter, to swing their greatest
striking power back to the west
against Britain or to the Near East
against the key Allied communica-
tons lines.

the Russians still were resisting bu,
retreating in continued heavy bat
Ties south Of Rostov, and in the
liver bend that curves to within
10 miles of Stalingrad.
1t was evident that RuSsia'S plight
was growing graver by the hour as
the fighting reached the tablelands
of Caucasus which are ideal foi
the Nazis' mechanized warfare.
If the Germans actually have
rushed 20 new panzer divisions into
the struggle it means the greatest
battle of tanks ever known, exceed.
