Folding Stretcher Turns
Truck Into Ambulance
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2-Develop-
ment of a collapsible two-stretcher
cradle which its inventor said would
make possible the almost instanta-
neous conversion Of about 100000
station wagons and light delivery
trucks into ambulances was an
nounced today.
The designer, William v. c. Rux-
ton, president of the British and
American Ambulance Corps, said
the wood and scrap steel device
weighed only IS pounds and could be
set up in less than a minute.
The portable stretcher carrier,
costing $27.50 without the actual
stretchers, or $42.50 if so equipped.
Is q double decker device on which
Mr.. Ruxton said he had applied for
patents in the name Of his unit so
that 1t could not be exploited COM
mercially.
One of the chief features Of the
invention, he said, was that it could
be folded compactly for storage in
the truck or station wagon when not
in use, thereby allowing the vehicles
to 60 about their everyday business
and still be ready for emergencies.

Allies Still Lackinq
Air Superiority
Over Singapore
Extended Defense Held
Hopeless Without Big
Supply Of Fighters
By,CabfC to The Star.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-As the battle
of Singapore blossomed into full
violence today, speculation In Lon
don centered on the reported fact
that the Allies still lack anything
approaching air superiority over the
island fortress
If, as all reports indicate. the
Allies have not enough fighters OF
the right type to deal with jap
anese bombers and their escorts
then, in the opinion Of most COM
petent experts, the defense Of Singa-
pore over an extended period Of
time is hopeless. Assuming the re-
ports to be true, people here are
wondering how such a situation
could ever possibly have arisen and
exactly who is responsible.
1t has been common knowledge
for many months that Britain was
stiff with fighters" and that so
far as this island is concerned, there
could not possibly be a shortage.
While many fighters undoubtedly
have been sent to the Near East
and Russia, 1t is believed that there
are enough fighters remaining to
provide a good many squadrons for
the Far East.
Pilots Now Handicapped.
Despite this apparent fact. it was
only recently that the authorities
were able to announce the arrival
of modern Hurricane fighters in
Singapore to supplement American
Brewster Buffalo fighters, which
were already there. The Buffalos
are excellent planes at low attitudes,
but do not have the performance
of Hurricanes at higher levels,
where much of the fighting is bound
to occur. Now pilots Of Hurricane
squadrons which have been in action
over Singapore indicate that they
are badly handicapped by sheer lack
of numbers.
Today's London Times prints
dispatch from Singapore stating
that the need of reinforcements.
especially of fighters, is urgent.
More fighters are needed, and need
ed quickly, to join in fighting over
the island" This same dispatch
indicates that all the present fighter
force is able to do is to exert =
certain deterrent effect"
This situation might result In
legitimate miscalculation and bad
timing if it had not been for expert
ence in the battle Of Flanders,
where for a time four squadrons OF
Hurricanes were called on to face
practically the entire Luftwaffe.
Unevenness of Battle Stressed.
Great publicity has been given
the unevenness of that battle and
it was assumed that the same situa-
ton would not be allowed to arise
again. Now it has and people are
demanding with increasing in
sistence to know why.
Failure to produce enough fighters
of the right type at the right time
is also blamed largely for the cur
rent reverse in Libya. So-called
tank busters, fighters equipped with
cannon, are needed to deal with
tank advances in open country and
in the case of Russia have proved
highly effective. Experts have been
pointing to this lesson for several
months now. Yet the Royal Air
Force still lacks equipment of this
kind. Before the Allies again at
tempt to deal with Axis Panzer
forces, such machines will have to
be produced and it is the common
hope, though not necessarily the
general conviction, that the Job has
been begun.

Court Ruling Broadens
Price-Fixing Scope
To |ntrasfate Milk
Decision Sets Aside
Decree Exemptine
Illinois Dairy

The Supreme Court today
broadened the scope of the milk
price fixing provisions of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act by
holding that milk produced and
distributed entirely within a
State is subject to the law when
it comes into competition with
milk that has moved in inter-
state commerce. The 8-to-0 de-
cision of the court was read by
Justice Stone.
The decision set aside a ruling OF
the Seventh Circuit Court of APP
peals which held that the Wright
wood Dairy Co. Of Chicago was ex-
empt from the milk marketing regu-
lations because all of its operations
were confined to the State of Illinois
despite the fact that some of its
milk came into competition with
milk handled interstate. The COM
pany had obtained an injunction in
Federal District Court freeing it
from regulations set up by the Chi
cago-milk marketing area, which
takes in part of Illinois and In
diana.
Commerce Power Exercised.
1--WE think it clear that Congress
(by the acU conferred upon the
Secretary authority to regulate the
handling of intra-state products
which, by reason of its competition
with the handling of interstate
milk, so affects that commerce as
substantially to interfere with It's
regulation by Congress and that the
statute so read is a constitutional
exercise of the commerce power"
the court said.
Chief Justice Stone added that
It was upon this basis that the
Court originally had upheld the con-
stitutionality Of the milk marketing
act and Eve uphold that opinion
now"
"As the court below recognized
and as seems not to be disputed,
the marketing of intrastate milk
which competes with that shipped
interstate would tend seriously to
break down price regulations of the
latter.
Depends on Circumstances.
It is no answer to suggest, as does
the respondent CWrightwood that
the Federal power to regulate intra-
state transactions is limited to those
who are engaged also in interstate
commerce. The injury, and hence
the power, does depend upon the
fortuitous circumstance that the
particular person conducting the
intrastate activities Is, or Is not, also
engaged in interstate commerce"
In another decision involving an
agricultural product the court di-
vided S to to rule that Federal
regulation of the materials and
composition Of manufactured
article barred similar State regula-
tion Of the same product.
Specifically, the tribunal held that
Alabama could not inspect ship
ments Of country butter into the
State to be used for manufacturing
renovated butter for sale in inter-
state commerce.
