Air Service Planned
American Airlines Files Application for Extension OF
Routes From New York to Canada

Prompted by the need for direct
air service between the capital of
the Dominion of Canada and Wash
ington. D. c., American Airlines,
Inc, has filed an application with
the Civil Aeronautics Board for ex-
tension of it's routes from Syracuse.
New York, Ottawa, Canada. In
making the announcement Mr.. A.
N. Kemp, president of American
Airlines, said:
There is wartime necessity for
fast, direct air service between Of
tawa and Washington. We believe
the Civil Aeronautics Board should
assign this application for imme-
date hearing. The community Of
political and economic interest be-
tween the capitals of Canada and
the United States is self evident
and has been augmented because of
the war. There are military and
governmental problems affecting the
two nations engaged In defending a
continent and Waging foreign war
which demand nothing less than
teh most rapid transportation pos
sible.
Travel by air between Ottawa
and Washington now involves a
choice between two devious routes
the shorter of which, via Montreal
is accomplished by the use of three
different airlines; the longer, via
Toronto, requires the use of two air.
lines. The existing air service be-
tween Ottawa and Washington is
indirect and time-consuming, in
volving charges of aircraft and I'M
satisfactory connections. We believe
that such service would not be ade-
quate In normal times and is GER
tainly not the expedited air trans
portation demanded by the present
emergency
The proposed new route between
Syracuse and Ottawa will permit
American to operate direct from
Ottawa to Washington via SYRIA
cuse and New York, and If the
companys recent application to ex-
tend its routes from Wilkes Barre
to Philadelphia Is granted, service
between Ottawa and Washington
can be further improved through
direct service over one airline route
OF 5l2 miles as compared with the
present shortest air route of 662
miles between the two capitals. The
cutoff route via Syracuse and Phil
adelphia as we'll as the route via
Syracuse and New York are shown
on the map attached hereto.
In addition to the Ottawa appli-
cation. American Airlines has also
applied for a route from Syracuse
to Montreal via Watertown and
Massena. New York. At the present
time there Is no air service avail
able to Watertown and Massena and
no direct air service between Mon
treal and Syracuse. Masaena Is an

general said years ago.
ut has been generally conceded
that the druggists of the United
States have led in many patriotic
efforts, that they have contributed
greatly by selling bonds, collecting
and contributing urgently needed
drugs, cooperating in the program
for prevention of imitation and sus-
taiing civilian morale. 1t is agreed,
too, that much good would come
from meeting where opinions
could be exchanged on how drug

Flour Production Past
Year at Highest Level in
More Than Decade

With the invasion Of Europe un-
der way and problems OF winning
the peace close at hand, the Ameri-
can wheat surplus must be conserv-
ed so that the country's milling
capacity can help take care Of the
food needs of other peoples, Philip
w. Pillsbury, president Of the Pills.
bury Flour Mills Company, said to-
day in his annual report on company
operations during the crop year.
Net earnings of $1,17O,616.31 after
deduction of all charges including
depreciation, interest and taxes,
were reported. This was equal to
$2.13 a share, as compared with
$l.89 last year and $1.47 for the
previous year. Pillsbury Four Mills
Company's net current assets in
creased from $l4,665 ,845.O1 at the
beginning of the year to $16,069,-
8l6.73 at the end of the year, an
increase of $1,4O3, 871.72.
The company is continuing it's
policy of giving priorities to the
armed forces when requested" Mr..
Pillsbury stated, although this has.
in many instances, caused some
interference with the service that
has contributed Onward the vice
distribution Of Pillsbury products.
During this past late spring, we
have built up large inventory stocks
of flour and cereals for a possible
time this fall when the demands of
both the military and the civilians
will be beyond daily capacity he
reported.
Endorsing the governments new
proposals toward higher levels of
flour enrichment as a part of the
national nutrition program, Mr..
PillSbury said: With enrichment
levels practically doubled, another
important milestone in the long
history of milling and Of hour, our
basic food, will be achieved. This
improvement in wheat flour and re-
lated products is typical of the ao-
vances in the types of foods the
company is producing today-essen-
tial foods which help maintain the
health, morale, and stamina of our
people on the home front, in our
armed forces, and among our allies.
To provide for unsual expenses IN
returning to peace-time operations
at the end of the war, the reserve
for postwar abnormal expenses has
been increased to 5000 600 during the
crop year, Mr.. Pillsbury announced.
with the amount of flour pro-
duced in the United States during
the past year at the highest level
in more than a decade, the Pilsbury
Company has participated proper
tionately in this increase and our
plants have operated at an extreme
ly high average rate of capacity

nous mass ON bombers might end
the war In Europe in a month, but
limiting ourselves to what we have
available we nLTT- have the means to
prepare Germany for an economical
march of occupation by our Army
within at least six months"
His plan would entail doubling,
trpling If possible, the Allies great
est rate of sustained attack to date
and maintaining the battering of
Germany's industries so that an
area once knocked out would not be
able to rebuild.
Drake said that destruction of 40
per cent Of Germany's industry Is
believed sufficient to defeat her.
Taking the experience Of the Raj
in 1912, Drake recalled, they de-
stroyed about per cent Of German
economy with $1,000 tons Of bombs,
40 per cent destruction would imply
the unloading of about six timse
that tonnage, or around 100000
tons"
This enormous tonnage might not
be necessary inasmuch as German
morale would be very likely to crack
before the 40 per cent destruction
was achieved, Drake pointed out.
Must Prevent Rebuilding
Drake estimated that in all Allied
bombers so far have destroyed is to
20 per cent Of Germany's industrial
machine, but said an unknown
amount of 1t has been rebuilt and
put back into operation. He stresses
the Importance Of concentrating air
attacks to prevent repair work and
restoration OF facilities once de-
stroyed.
Based on comparative losses SO
far, Drake forecasts that in the first
two months of the stepped-up
bombing operation he envisages, our
heavily-armed bombers could be ex-
pected to account for about 1900
enemy fighters, which exceed the
total number Of German fighters
now In Western Europe. We would
have the Lutfwaffe over barrel"
He emphasized the low cost In cas-
ualties of victory achieved through
the air. If the experience Of land

Rev. J. Donnelly decreed that, mo
priest should read the Scriptures
without the written consent OF his
bishop under penalty of excom-
munication. Needless to say the
priest who asks for the liberty be-
comes an object OF suspicion and
becomes a marked man thereafter.
But this priest was a man OF cour-
age and despite warnings and
threats he did read the Scriptures
and finally, of course, he saw tne
light and left the Church.
That such trash is still peddled
profitably in our country may be
surprising to some Catholics. But
peddled it is, and there are millions
so completely uniformed and misln-
formed about the Church that the
mere appearance of this rot on
printed page makes it solid truth.
Perhaps the writer of this article
has never looked into Catholic
missale in which the Bible is quoted
on every page. Or the Breviary
with which the priest must read
for an hour each day and which Is
made up principally of scriptural
quotations. And every year of his
long training for the priesthood the
priest has to take an extended course
OF study in the Sacred Scriptures.
Not only the priest, however, but
the laity are urged to read and
study the Scriptures, and so earnest
ly does the Church desire this prac-
tice that she has granted special
spiritual favors for all who will heed
her request. During the past few
years two new translations of the
New Testament have been prepared
in up to-date English by American
Catholic scholars, one from the
Greek and one from the Latin. Last
year the best selling book in Amer
lea was Catholic translation OF
the New Testament, and yet the
calumy of the Scriptures as a closed
book to Catholics like many others
of the same caiber is still passed
around among non-Catholics.

of Plus XII, comes from the ancient
pagan land of China. She Is the

Drake, who began flying In 1912,
served with the Raj in the last war
and, after being wounded, became
an instructor of American fighter
pilots. He has set forth his the
cries Of concentrated bombing in a
book titled vertical Warfare"
Using as a base the statistics Of
successes and losses experienced thus
far by the Allied air forces, Drake
projects these figures against the
equipment now available to draw
the lair plan" which he believes
would defeat Germany and later,
Japan, in the least possible time
and with a minimum of casualties.
Drake computes a maximum OF
1000 at the peak Of the campaign
as the number of bombers required
to demoralize Germany. These, he
contends, could be made available
without withdrawing planes neces-
sary to maintain other fronts. He
estimates our losses, if the Nazis
held up under the attack for the full
six months, would be between two
and three thousand bombers and
twenty to thirty thousand men.
Enough Planes Available
