For hate hurts the hater more
than anyone. It. is a weakness
which warps judgment and null

police officer is not one who in

help to stop such practices in

builds up new oscillations.
Not only would there be moral
degradation in descending to ven

historic End War Loan Drive, which started
April 18th, is the most urgent appeal America
has ever made!
The time is shOri-act nO,u!
When you attack with War Bonds you don't
suffer pain or anguish-you don't risk your
limbs or your life as millions of our boys
are doing every day. All you do is make an
investment-the safest in the world. You
help to secure Victory now-and your own
financial security.
During this drive if you are visited by
volunteer War Bond worker, welcome him.
He will explain the different types of U. S.

from. But don't wait for his CALICO at once

where they sell War Bonds. And answer the
command to ATTACK by buying more War

At present Gen. Marshall is
slated to become commander in

Europe. But there is move
afoot to make him commander
in chief of all Allied forces except,
of course, those fighting in Rus
sia.
The matter is being debated
and viii be definitely known
when Mr.. Roosevelt makes his
official announcement about Gen.
Marshall's future duties.
Appointment of leader over
all Allied forces is crying need
today. We have in Washington
a strategy board called the COM
bined chiefs of staff. It is COM
posed OF American and British
generals, admirals and command
ers. This board deals with all
the phases of the war and makes
decisions dealing with general
strategy.
Fhe American representatives
are Gen. Marshall, Admiral
Leahy, Gen. Arnold and Admiral
King. Britain is represented by
*Field Marshal Sir John Dill, Adj
miral Sir Percy Noble and. Air
Marshal Sir William Welsh.
This group functions har-
moniously and whatever dif1cul-
ties arise occasionally are due
mostly to political considerations
which are unavoidable. The mill
tary men on that high strategy
board are avoiding these political
questions to the best of their,
ability. 50

of guns, but that may not be
discussed in detail.
The men I saw were at work
on an important job. They were
putting an English engine-the
Rolls Royce-into the American
plane
Those engines are being made
in this country, under license,
and they are, to date, the only
liquid engine which has
met the test of the European
theater.
please understand that I am
not seeking to deprecate other
fighter planes. They do a job in
certain theaters. They do an ex-
cellent job in some. 1t is just
that they cannot compete in this
one "big league" theater where
the Germans have their. best
planes and pilots.)
Rolls Royce has developed a
new type supercharger which
should make the Allies supreme
in the air insofar as fighters are
concerned. 1t is technically known
as "two-speed, two-stage super
charger" and it has been officially
released that it raises the effec-
tive ceiling of the Mustang by
about two miles.
Supercharger Is New.
Now, if one of our high alti-
tude fighters can increase its
effective ceiling by two miles, it
means that any other plane, with
another engine, will be much less
effective in the thin air and will
be no match for our Mustang
with its English engine.
There have been supercharges
for some years. This is a new
one. In thin air the engine has
as much difficulty breathing" as
the pilot. They give the pilot an
oxygen mask. They have had
superchargers which enabled en-
gines to get higher, but this one
enables the engine to breathe at
two miles higher up than engines
have been able to breathe (ef-
fectiyely) before.
Meanwhile, our own liquid
cooled engine development is
making strides. A way has been
found to step up its supercharger.
1t may be the same as Rolls
Royce is using. They speak of it,
when they speak Of it, as throw
ing the engine into high" 1t is a
development being put into one
of the better-known fighter
planes which is now coming out
with new design which removes
the faults that made it impos-
sible for it to compete in the
European fighting.
