Aircraft Industry
Seen as Answer
To Slump Peril

The possibility Of developing a
major aircraft industry in Detroit
10 offset an anticipated slump in
auto production four or five years
after the war was presented today
by research men and statisticians
who met with the city planning
commission.
But George Emery, secretary
Of the commission, said better
climatic conditions in the-South-
west might prove an obstacle TO
developing the aircraft industry
here.
Emery said those attending the
informal conference felt that auto
production would boom for awhile
after the war and then slump
sharply.
Machinery and chronological ad-
VanceS may neceSSitate a 20 per
cent cut in automobile plant man
hours after the war, the confer
ence believed.
Professors of economies and
representatives of public utilities
and manufacturing were among
those present.

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 20. (UP)-
A 166-year-old secret letter, adj
dressed to King Louis XVI of
France and considered to be the
most influential document in early
American foreign affairs, has been
discovered at the Albany Institute
of History and Ar.
The letter, found by Prof. Gilbert
Chinard of Princeton University,
distinguished authority on the his
torical relations between France
and America, vividly describes un-
derground plans of French friends
of the American Revolution to OBJ
tain gold and gunpowder for the
colonists.
Terming the Iettc.' the most in
fluential document IN American
foreign affairs between 1776 and
l778," Chinard said it probably was
written in 1777 by the leading
French journalist, De Beaumar-
chais, first powerful friend Benja-
min Franklin enlisted on his mis-
sion to France.
Addressed to King Louis alone

You can take that on the word
of DR.. Warren Kelchner, chief of
the State Departments division of
international conferences. He was
the man behind the arrangements
Tor the first session of the Council
of the United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation administration here.
There must be much spadework
and careful planning before a con-
ference is called, according to DR..
Kelchner. Preparations for the
UNRRA meeting took nearly six
weeks, he revealed.
Besides diplomatic phases which
must be dealt with before a con-
ference is called, there are prob
lens of equipment and personnel
to be tackled. Nearly 200 offices
had to be set up, for example, be-
fore UNRRA assembled. A clerical
force of approximately 300 persons
had to be organized.
In the first two weeks of the
conference, DR.. Kelchner said, the
clerical staff turned out nearly 500
reports and releases for the dele
gates, their advisers and the press.
The average daily output of mimeo-
graphed material during this time

He doesn't remember London like

CHANGE FROM 'VERD-MONT
DREW CLERGYMAN'S IRE

MONTPELIER, VT, Dec. 20. (UP)
The Rev. Samuel Peters, Con-
necticut clergyman, always claimed
to have given this state its name,
but he never liked its finally ac-
cepted form.
During horseback trip in 1853,
Mr.. Peters looked off over the tree
covered hills and christened the
area -Mont-Green Mountains.
Later the legislature shortened the
spelling to its present one-Ver-
mont-but this drew from Mr.. Pet
ers the caustic comment:
Since Verdmont became a state
in the Union with the 13 states of
America, its general assembly have
seen proper to change the spelling
of Verd-mont, Green Mountain, to
that of Vermont, Mountain of
Maggots."
