Keep Up Production
Compony's BIG Morouder
Is the Only Plane
For Capt. Common
BY WALTER McCALLUM,


BALTIMORE, Md, May 19.-Sur-
rounded on all sides by counter
parts of his B-26 Marauder, an
Army Air Force pilot who saw
months of action in New Guinea
declared here today that he is con-
fused by the multiplicity of flying
aids in the United States.
Il feel more at home pushing the
big ship over the jungle than over
the well-charted airways In this
country" said Texas-born Capt.
Graham Cannon, a former news
paperman and graduate of North
Carolina University, who wears the
Silver Star for getting his Marauder
medium bomber off the ground
while under Japanese bombardment
at Port Moresby.
With him were two more Air
Force pilots who faced the Japs at
Kiska in the Aleutians. Capt. Ken
meth E. Dempster. California born
is a two-year veteran of combat
duty in Alaska and the Aleutians,
and has flown many missions in the
Marauders produced here by the
Glenn L. Martin Co. 1t. Vernon j.
Borr of Iceland, Mich, is the other
BPS pilot.
Address Rally at Plant.
The trio, with many members OF
their crews, spoke yesterday at a
rally at the immense Martin plant
near here before high officers of the
Army and Navy, members of the
National Inventors Council, meet
ing here, and thousands Of Martin
employees.
Capt. Cannon piloted his "old 90"
through many brushes with the
Japs and finally crashed in the New
Guinea jungle, where after many
hours he regained consciousness. He
has one Zero officially to his crews
credit. On one of the many combat
missions in which he took part, "old
93." fairly blown into the air under
a hail Of shrapnel. came back with
200 holes in her skin and wings.
The automatic controls for bomb
salvos were shot out, one propeller
control was destroyed, the right
wheel and tire were out OF commits
sion; holes ranging in size from a
finger tip to a foot across were
stretched from the props to the trim
tabs. His bombardier, Sergt.
Michael Bauman of Plymouth, N. j.,
opened the bomb bay doors by hand
and jettisoned the bombs, then put
out the flames which swept the
plane
Urges Steady Production.
While the tremendous Mars,
biggest seaplane in the world, roared
over the amphitheater in which
stood thousands of plant employees,
the combat officers told the workers
to keep up production. You build
EN- and we'll fight EN-" said Capt.
Dempster. Our missions are 100
per cent successful"
The airplane will be the deter
mining factor in how we live from
now on" said DR.. Charles F. Ket-
tering, president, General Motors
Research Corp. The guests were
introduced by Mr. Martin, president
of the airplane company.
"As far as I'm concerned there
isn't any other plane than the BPS"
said Capt. Cannon. Two of the
planes used in the Aleutians, carry
ing crews of four men each, flew in
from McDill Field. Fla, and were
placed on exhibition. They have
been honorably discharged and are

Force, and is described as COM
bination fighter bomber, with ample
fire power.
Two Got Three Ships.
Capt. Dempster, holder of the Air
Medal, got Jap transport off Kiska
last December and Sergt Robert D.
johnson was on a mission which
sank two Jap destroyers, bombing
them from an altitude of so feet.
Operations in the Aleutians. Capt.
Dempster explained, are so difficult
that the planes ordinarily fly just
above the water because of overcast
conditions, and to avoid the Jap
detection devices. Kiska defenses,
he said, mainly consist of anti-air-
craft guns, with little enemy aircraft
opposition.
The Martin people felt proud OF
a letter received from Gen. H. H.
Arnold, commanding general of the
Army Air Forces, reporting that one
wing destroyed in air fights 81 of
the enemy's best fighters, while los
ing 16 B-26s, in the African theater.
The Marauder has been punching
steadily in all combat theaters, serv-
ing as a bomber, ground strafer,
torpedo plane and fighter. 1t can
outrun many pursuit ships and is

Force planes, including self-sealing

about the cost. however. They
don't like 10 do a job which
goes against their grain as care

agreed TO take on the job OF
ration banking il was with the
understanding that they would
count the coupons as they came
through. That was the safeguard
20 assure that coupons turned IN
were correct.
But when the OPA two weeks
ago decided to allow retailers 10
hand their coupons over 10 the
bankers in envelopes rather than
pasted on gummed sheets the
bankers had to give up their
check on these deposits Of
coupons. The manpowcr for
counting them would be too
great. so the depositor word IS
taken for il; he lotS down the
number of coupons on the out
side of the envelope.

California Urges
45-MiIe Speed for
Buses and Trucks

Demand for higher speed
limits. especially for intercity
buses and trucks, is increasing
all over the country. When the
35-mile edict was put in effect
nationally, the truck owners
were the first to point out that
1t was uneconomical and inter-
ferred with delivery Of war
goods.
Now comes word that Cali
fornia has been conducting some
tests on 35 and 45-mile speeds
and concludes that it would be
for the best interests of the
public to boost the limit TO 45
for buses and trucks.
Results of the test show that
there is little variation in tire
wear at the higher speed,
greater conservation of replace
ment parts, more efficient use
of manpower and transportation
facilities. The only point IN
which the 35-mile limit sur
passed was in fuel consumption.
Less gas was used than at As.
Passenger cars and city buses
would not be permitted the
higher speed under CALIFORNIA;
recommendations.

Rail Freight
Rate System Hit
In IVA Report

WASHINGTON, March 26
GNS)-President Roosevelt has
sent 10 Congress Tennessee VAL
ley Authority report on regional
ized" railroad freight rates, which
recommended that the present
rate structure be abolished and
replaced by one nation wide
system.
The report is the third in a
series of studies undertaken by the
IVA shortly after it was estab-
lished almost a decade ago. The
IVA declared that its interest in
the freight rate situation stemmed
from a realization that its own
operations were handicapped by
virtue of their location in a high
freight region"
