Civil Aviation Chief
Says Mexico Hopes 10
Develop Air Lines
Gen. Corronzo Reports
Mileage Almost Doubled
Within II Months

Mexico looks with favor on the
growth Of Mexican airlines doing
domestic Mexican business and ex-
panding into foreign fields, Gen. AL
herto Salinas Carranza, chief Of the
department of civil aeronautics in
Mexico, stated yesterday when asked
whether his government approves
entry of foreign companies into the
field of Mexican aviation.
His reply, given at a press con-
ference arranged by the Civil Aero
nautics Board, indicated that ma
tionalistic interests will be a STUN
bling block to the vast, uninhibited
expansion of global aviation for the
postwar period.
Gen. CarranZa said, however, that
"the Mexican government looks with
sympathy on United Airlines' desire
to purchase the Mexican air COM
pany Lineas Aereas Mineras. S. A."
He continued by pointing out that
United Airlines would employ Mexi-
can personnel in operations within
the country's limits
Mexican Aviation Advances.
American aviation companies in
tending to own ground facilities in
Mexico now must incorporate sub
sidiary Mexican companies in order
to be able to possess property in
Mexico.
During the last II months the 10
Mexican commercial airlines have
nearly doubled their regular routes
from $4,000 kilometers to $4,000 kill
ometers, and there has been a 304
per cent increase in all traffic, both
passenger and cargo. The impact of
war transportation coupled with
diminution of other means such as
oceanborne transport, accounts for
this growth, Gen. Carranza said.
The amount Of flying equipment en-
ployed has remained stationary, but
maintenance and flight frequencies
have been stepped up. Mexican air
routes are flown by two American
companies, Pan American and
American Airlines. One Mexican
route maintains flights to Los Ange-
les and to Havana. Cuba.
Freight Cheaper by Air.
Air transport is cheaper In Mexico
than mule packs, Gen. Carranza
said, and immense quantities of
| coffee, chicle and concentrates of
metals are now shipped speedily and
inexpensively from inaccessible, re-
mote areas. He pointed out that
lack Of communications heretofore
has caused costly delays in trans
portation of coffee to the coast, and
that rivers are navigable only in the
rainy season.
Mexican aviation uses American
made planes and must import high
octane gas, although negotiations
are now under way to establish such
refineries in Mexico, Gen. Carranza
explained.
Gen. Carranza is generally cred
tied with being the first aviator to
employ airplane bombing against an
enemy force, when he bombed op-
position ground crews during the
Mexican revolution in 1911. He
summed up the entire situation as
follows:
Aviation is good for war, for
peace. for discovering the North Pole,
for agriculture and for everything"

Acting for the People

There is case now pending down
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in
which The People, according to their
elected officials, are proceeding
against the editor of a weekly news
paper for alleged criminal libel. This
case is going to be worth watching
for a decision which, specifically con-
corning itself with the EDITORS guilt
or innocence, presents the far broader
issue of whether the public servants
of the people of Maryland are carry
ing out their masters will. If they
are, then something strange has
happened to the people of Maryland.
Rives Matthews, owner and editor
of the Somerset News, revealed in his
newspaper, and complained over the
fact, which seems undisputed, that
Maryland's State controller, j. Mil
lard Tawes, had used an official
State automobile (twelve-cylinder
engine, running sweetly on rationed
gasoline) for a 2,000-miie trip to
Georgia and his Army sons wedding
at Fort Benning. The Crisfield Ration
Board promptly cleared the con-
troller of having violated the pleas
ure-driving ban and the States at
torney issued a warrant for the
editors arrest, served by the sheriff
and a State trooper as the editor sat
at the keyboard OF his linotype
machine.
Now the thoughts which will run
through the minds Of the people Of
Maryland will not attempt to draw
the line between freedom Of the press
and criminal libel. These thoughts

Ancient Cure Revived

However, not every prospective pa

those in this class ancient remedies
are provided whose origin is all but
lost in the mists of antiquity. Among
these remedies are precious gems,
ground to powder and administered
according to a recipe once popular
in old Egypt as specific for nervous
Spasms and Mysteries.

probable that they have mistrans-

their authority for the statement

War Production Gains

Chairman Donald Nelson of the
War Production Board announced
this week that the Nations war plants
turned out per cent more munitions
In April than were manufactured in
March. His statement was treated as
an item of secondary Importance in
the run of the days news, and this
perhaps is the most impressive trib-
ute that could be paid to the truly
remarkable nature of the war pro-
duction job that has been done in
this country
Mr., Nelson said, for instance, that
the production of heavy bombers in
April was 18 per cent above the
March figure. In March we built
more than 500 of these four -engined
weapons that are being used day
after day to demolish the most re-
mote centers of enemy industry. On
that basis the April production must
have been around 600-or a rate Of
around 1900 heavy bombers a year.
A>o OAaC "OulO 1ldSc OCllcHCu b lew
months ago that any country could
turn out big bombers at such
prodigous rate, but we have the as
surance of Mr.. Nelson that it is being
done In the United States today, and
we have his further assurance that
extensive new facilities" soon will be
available so that we may place even
greater emphasis on this devastating
weapon Of war. To Hitler and those
OF his propagandists who used to
ridicule the suggestion that this
country would ever be able to play a
decisive role in the war, Mr.. Nelson's
announcement must come as herald
of the defeat that is inevitably in
store for them.
This does not mean that the fight
Is won, either on the battle front or
the production front There is q

not afford to let down ut any point

will dwell on the picture OF an elected
official of Maryland, using their
property to get away with something
that they, the people, in all their
majesty, cannot get away with
themselves. Suppose one of them,
with a son in the Army, sought
to take the family on a visit to his
camp? Would his own ration board
cheerfully approve such use of gas
and would his sheriff lock. up the
fellow who dared criticize him?
One somehow feels that mistake
has been made here somewhere, and
that one would rather be wearing
the editors shoes than either the
States attorneys or the State con-
troller's. For these, 1t is believed,

Notice of Invasion

Prime Minister Winston Churchill,
speaking in confident tones, has
served notice on a jittery Axis that
1t may expect an Allied invasion at
any hour. For reasons that are
obvious, he did not reveal when the
blow will be struck, nor where it will
fall. But he did say that amphibious
operations - movements over land
and sea-on large scale are ap-
preaching, and this, in Axis minds at
least, means that their island and
continental strongholds are soon to
be assaulted.
Nor is it likely that Mr.. Churchill
spoke with mental reservations which
would give to his words some other
meaning than that which they seem
to convey. 1t is possible, of course,
that his apparent candor is part of a
war of nerves, that he is trying to
throw the Axis off balance by keeping
the enemy commanders guessing as
to the real Allied intentions. But in
a war of nerves the truth can be Just
as effective as deception. So long as
the enemy does not know where or
when the blow will fall, he is helped
little by the knowledge that invasion
is coming. He must prepare to resist
attack at any time or place, and
nothing that Mr.. Churchill revealed
will make this task any easier for
him. OF course, if the Allies were not
planning any invasion a different
situation would be presented. His
statement still might be useful in
pinning down enemy forces which
could otherwise be used against Rus
sia or elsewhere, but any gain in this
direction probably would be more
than offset by the adverse effect on
Allied morale that would follow the
collapse of the hopes which have been
raised in all of the United Nations.
Mr.. Churchill is too good a psycholo-
gist to condition his own people to
expect an invasion if, in fact, no
invasion is contemplated. The where
ana tne When OF the attack must
remain unanswered, but that it will
come in the not too distant future
seems as certain as anything can be
in war
1t is worthy Of note that Mr..
Churchill again spoke encouragingly
of the progress being made against
the Axis in the air and against the
submarines at sea. 1t is on these two
weapons that Hitler has leaned most
heavily for success, and, as they are
now being blunted, his hopes of
victory fade away. But the hope is
not yet extinguished. We cannot
count on reaching that point until an
Allied army of superior strength has
landed on the continent and started
Its march to Berlin.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. TraceDell.

A Victory garden is fine. 1t benefits
unknown genius who pinned the good
word Victory" on vegetable growing,
he did good job, and no doubt caused
many hundreds of thousands Of home
owners to turn to the soil who other
wise would not have done so.
1t is good, just the same. to remem-
Der the old flower favorites.
Flowers still may be grown
Let us keep that In mind Right along
with tomatoes, petunias will do very
well.
Most Of the ANIMALS, especially the
lower sorts, will do nicely as edging for
vegetable rows. We have seen some
fine combinations along these lines.
Especially persons who are interested
In bird life should grow flowers, no mat
ter how many vegetables they put in,
because flowers are the favorites of
hummingbirds.
Any red or pink flower, with bell
shaped blossoms, will attract them.
AAC PCoAllAd WILL uO dS we'll dS any.
No finer sight, either in birds or fiow-
ers, can be imagined than a window
box Of the old Rosy Morn petunias, with
a pair Of hummers lowering over them.
No Brazilian jungle, we are convinced,
would yield a better picture than this,
yet 1t is one which is possible to the
humblest home.
The Dr. Van Fleet and Pauls Scarlet
roses are in order anywhere climber
Is needed.
They are about as insect-free as any
rose. The Van Fleet is susceptible to
plant lice. Of course.
This, however, Is no real handicap
since the plant is of such vigorous
growth that millions of these aphids
are not able to harm 1t In the least.
Care should be taken to avoid spray
ing Van Fleet with dilute nicotine
solution, when the climber Is backed
by white, since the spray will spot.
The best thing is just to forget the
"lice," and let the inherent vigor of
the plant handle them as best 1t can.
In practically every case, the aphids
disappear, in due time, and the climber
seems to be none the worse for them.
Many small birds eat aphids.
1t Is interesting to watch them. Even
the hummingbirds, popularity supposed
to eat nothing but nectar" of the flow
ers, consume their share.
When hummer dips down into the
bell of flower, as likely as not he is
after insects, which in their turn are
after the nectar
Baby birds of all species are fed in
sects, even though they may go over tc
seeds after they are grown up.
1t Is obvious that only small insects
can be handled by such small birds az
hummers. The ruby -throated humming
bird, the only one we have here. is 9
born fighter. He has ever been known
to attack hawks. in protecting his
nestlings.

Manpower Shortage
Attributed to Discrimination.
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star
Permit me to make the following
comments on statements that I have
read in several Of the daily newspapers
allegedly made by Controller General
Lindsay c. Warren to the effect that
the United States Civil Service Commis-
sion has completely collapsed and fallen
down on furnishing efncient personnel.
We are in desperate need :"
This failure on the part Of the United
States Civil Service Commission has
not been created as result Of the short
age of manpower per Sc, but by its
inability to convince the various agencies
and divisions that the complete reservoir
Of manpower must be utilized to its
fullest extent, irrespective Of race, creed,
color or national origin. If this war Is to
be won and there is to be an unadul-
terated peace, the United States must
pave the way as a beacon to other
nations. This can be accomplished
through the unbiased application Of the
Presidents Executive Order No. $500 Of
June Is, 1941, as amended by Executive
Order No. 9346 of May ~, 1e43.
Hundreds of qualified loyal American
citizens with the desire to help win
this war and an uncompromising peace
have made their records available to
the Civil Service Commission, but have
merely been told that '1n the event
need arises for the utilization Of your
particular qualifications you will be con-
tacted directly by the agency concerned"
Apparently, the need" seldom arises.
The morale and devotion Of thousands
Of loyal American citisens cannot be
retained, If they are forbidden to work
