BY the Associated Pres,

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK. Ark, Sept. TO-
The Arkansas Gazette said last
night that several operators in the
Pulaski County bauxite fields had
stopped mining as result OF a new
War Production Board regulation
penalizing aluminium making baux-
lite ore Of more than per cent iron
content.
Contractors and independent OPP
orators predicted that Sweet Home
would be a deserted area of open
bauxite mines within few months
unless the prohibitiye penalty Is re-
moved" the newspaper said.
Despite a recent WPB increase Of
Is cents Der ton, operators agreed
1t would be impossible to continue
mining without loss under the pres
ent ruling, which imposes a penalty
of 43 cents for each 1 per cent Of
iron content per ton of bauxite over
6 per cent"
Argansas' Gov. Homer M. Adkins
urged the WPB last week to remove
the penalty The State Geology De-
partment reported that more than
80 per cent of the domestic bauxite
reserves were In Pulaski and adj

relatives, it has a network of
communications with military
and Red Cross installations all
over the country.
If your man is in the service
and your allotment hasn't come
through, the home service will
see just why it hasn't. If you're
i'll or your child is, and hospital
arrangements must be made, the
home service will help you. If
your husband is home on fur
Tough and loses his ticket back to
camp, home service attends to
that, too.
Any of the thousand and one
problems of a wartime Nation,
of its civilian population, it's
armed forces in the field, prob
lens of disaster, fire, flood and

service-a service which has over
3,700 chapters in the United

BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The Navy
disclosed today the details Of its new
fighter plane, the Grumman Hellcat,
as the answer to prayers of Amer
ican pilots for plane to fight the
Zero on any terms. The plane saw
action for the first time in the
Navy's raid on Marcus Island Sep
tember /.
The ship is the pilots own plane
in the sense that it incorporates the
combined experience of our naval
aviators in the Pacific, and is the
first American fighter to reach pro-
duction on planS coming entirely
from experiences of the present war.
Its speed and climb are secret,
but the Navy's Bureau of Aeronau-
tics says:
Speed Is Main Feature.
Speed is the word for the He'll
cat. It Is one Of the fastest fighters
in the skies"
The Hellcat Is successor to the
Grumman Wildcat and was de-
signed and built by the Grumman
Aircraft Engineering Corp, at the
request of the Navy Department.
The new plane is both bigger and
faster than the Wildcat, which Un-
dersecretary James v. Forrestal said
saved Guadalcanal, and, the Bureau
of Aeronautics said, stopped the
Japanese planes in the Coral Sea, at
Midway and In the Solomons.
The new Hellcat is single scatter.
better armed than the Wildcat, and
with improved protective armor.
Best of all, in the bureaus opinion,
is the new flexible type of gasoline
tank, which is a step ahead of the
ordinary puncture-proof tank. The
official explanation is limited to the
statement that the tank functions
like a rubber bag inside canvas
hammock.
The fighting altitude of the He'll
cat Is higher than its predecessor
Some idea of what this means is
seen by the surprise the Japanese
got at Guadalcanal last October
when Wildcats met them at $4,000
feet and shot down 80 zeros in 10
minutes without losing one ship.

welt was giving 1t. Comdr. Edward

Construction Of Ships
On Big Scale Begun
On Great Lakes
Coastal Tonkers, Seaooine
Tugs and 'Knockdown'
Burees Included

The tremendous demand for
uater-horne transportation has sent
saltwater shipbuilding to the Great
Lakes in great volume. according
to Maritime Commission an
nouncement.
While considerable building un-
der the direction of the commission
consists of large ships to carry ore
on the lakes. nevertheless a great
number of coastal tankers, sea going
tugs and "knock-down" barges are
being built. The barges are to be
shipped overseas for use in trans
ferring war cargoes from ocean
transports to the shore at points
lacking sufficient docking facilities.
However, the commission said sub
freezing weather is holding up
launchings there. but with thaw
multiple launchings will be held
One yard will have five coaStwise

largest vessels being built for the
commission They are more than
900 feet long and will increase the
total load capacity of the lakes
ore feet by approximately 250,0o0

The barges are rs feet long and
are shipped in packages Of knocked
down pieces to be assembled at
overseas points of destination.
The tugs which are being con-
structed on the lakes are said to be
special type of seagoing vessels,
200 feet long and among the most
powerful and largest ever devel-
oped They are to be used for the
towing q reinforced concrete
barges along the coasts of the
United States and in the Latin
American trade.
The construction of these tugs
and barges, it was said, was made
necessary to replace the coastal
ships which had been withdrawn
for deep-sea service. More than
hundred of the concrete barges are
being built About IS of them are
of the tanker type for the trans
