IT'S A SECRET

There are supposed to be new
cargo planes in production now
which will come close to meeting
these cost operation Specifica-
ticns Mostly they're secret planes
for war use and you can't get any
one to talk about them for publica-
ton. But the mere fact that there
are such planes on the drawing
board is enough to set all the avia-
ton brains of the country to think
ing about what's to become of the
planes now flying.
This line of thinking was pre-
seuted at a recent meeting of the
Society of Automotive Engineers in
Chicago. Phil Amram, Philadel-
phia lawyer who came down to
Washington to work on the legal
staff of the Board of Economic
Warfare and was later shifted to a
Job which ultimately led him to
his present position as head of
BEW's Information Air Transport
Division is the man who brought
TO a head all this talk about the
possible necessity Of scrappng all
Of today'S obsolete planes.
Amram presented another idea
which captiyateS the imagination.
Too much attention. he says, has
been paid to developing the per
feet cargo plane-SOmcthing that
will do for the development of
aerial freight traffic what the
DC-3 has done for the develop
nent of aerial passenger traffic
over the past six years. II is
Amram's contention that there
isn't any such thing as perfect
cargo plane. If the aviation in
dustry is to get any place with
its development of air cargo, it
will have to do what the motor
truck industry has done in the
past 25 years - develop a differ
ent model for every different use.

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

When the war is over there Will
be hundreds OF cargo planes hang
ing around and the general idea
has been that these planes could
immediately take eff in all direc-
tions to haul freight, thus marking
the beginning of a new era OF aerial
transport. It's 4 pretty picture, bun
some of the aviation brains of the
country have been doing a little
realistic thinking about this new
age of air, and much to your sur
price they have come up with the
| idea that perhaps the most sensl-
Bile thing to do with this huge air
armada of cargo planes is scrap 1t.
Engines and instruments might be
Salvaged, but for the planes them
selyeS-iunk EN- and make EN- over
into new airplaneS.
The reasoning is based en- the
tact that up 10 now most cargo
planes being flown are as much as
six or eight years old. What are
these planes? Well, q lot of them
are Douglas DC-2'S and DC-3'S and
planes of earlier vintage. Those
were the commercial planes that
were in production when the war
broke out and when the need for
more and more cargo planes first
became apparent the simplest
thing to do was ask for more of
the same.
True. these ships were designed
as passenger planes. But it was no
trick at all to redesign the inte-
rior. knock out the seats, enlarge
the loading door, put i'll a floor and
make the entire fuSelage cargo
space.
But the DC-3, lead truck horse
that il is. is now six years old.
Its costs Of operation are figured
at around 80 cents per ton mile
for air freight. loaded 20 60 per
cent of capacity. Air express
rates have been from 90 cents per
ton mile up to cover costs and
ground handling charges. Pas
senger costs run about cents per
passenger mile. And at those
rates, air cargo simply can't be
handled on a basis competitive
with rail- truck or steamship.
So freight costs must be lowered
to something like 10 cents per ton
mile.

CULINARY NOTES.

CuTWoRM SOUP.
 So many people have inquired if cutworms are us eful for anything that we reques ted our Res earch Dept to fnvestt tgate, and the following results were obtained.
 Our Research Dire ctor imme di atly ..ot In touch tn "TIZzIE LISH" the ael1 known cooking authority, who '2ntacted her culinary friends in China, where insects are used to mako deltcous foods.
 The following reciepo was recievec by wormless, that we feel sure will be read with great interest by our frienos here, and then dis cardcd In the garbage can, IS usual.
 First catch your worms, three full quarts of nice fat ones, be sure that they have eaten your gardcn up ane are well fed because skinny cutWorms oo not have enough vitimans according to the B-uG 38 formula.
 Pour worms int o five gallon oil can and then pour five quarts of the extract of Squew Bush on same. Hoat vsry slowly over fire of tirch ane spruce roots ickod off of the garden, so that worms vi Il squirm grace fully before giving up the ghost, whom thouroul lhly cooked, pour exactly one pound of Paris Green on same, throw pinch Of "snoose" in ant thin wi th extract Of "Hora shoe" tobacco, well assimi lated. Then to edo to potency, throw hay fork full of green Larkspur on board, pour
 ouP on the ground and serve hot.
 The flavor of the soup will be much improved If the cook will take day off while cooking, 60 to town find prominent place on main street wave arms, wise 1e heed, pew ground end cuss worms, cast refle cti ons on ancestry of worms, wh1 ch will add enjoyment to cooking.
 Now you soy' do you expect us to eat this mes S." and we say," heck no, feed it to the hogs" knowing full woll that no hoe will eat 1t. So far as we know nothing but Ser Gull night try it and es they prefer uncookod worms, why bother?

&, 900 of $4,000 Miners
In Alabama Back on Job

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July l tFp.-
Steel production in Alabama was cut
20 per cent today by the critical
shortage of fuel resulting from the
walkout in the coal fields.
The reduction will mean a loss of
1000 tons of war-vital steel every "a
hours, a spokeman said. Iron pro-
duction also was down to IS per cent
of capacity, with four blast furnaces
banked and a daily loss Of 5000 tons.
This development came as slight
improvement was indicated in oper-
ations of the mines which supply coal
for the heavy industries here. Ap-
proximately l,750 of the district s
5000 captive mine workers were Gil
the job as compared with less than
1000 yesterday.
Including the captives. approx
mately 5000 of the States $4,000
union miners were working today
compared with 1000 yesterday.
Steel and iron plants were at
their lowest production rates in
more than four years. Steel produc-
ton here has been at 100 per cent
for several months and has been
95 per cent or above since Pearl
Harbor.
Steel plants affected were the
Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad
Co.. at its Ensley and Fairfield
works, and the Republic Steel Corp
at Gadsden.
Mining was resumed on a small
scale today at the four shafts OF
