prophets-even radical economic

shall not be caught unprepared
when peace on earth. good will
toward men returns.
Many of New York's keenest
analysts believe we shall escape
the tragedies Of the era which
followed 1e17-1s. For example,
textile corporations then expand
ed tremendously. Old looms
hummed and additional buildings
and machinery were installed.
Eventually the market was
glutted. fly-by-nights cut prices,
profits became impossible, fac
tories shut down and jobless mill
hands haunted the streets.
Foresighted industrialists ex-
pect pent-up demands TO stimu-
late tomorrow's manufacturing
and trade. Widespread distribu-
ton of war wages IL creating a
thirst for . higher standard Of
living. Savings. victory bonds and
other nest eggs will furnish the
cash 10 satisfy these desires. South
America and Canada Will call for
our commodities. Once Europe
and Asia regain their feet they
too will seek our exports. But a
serious transitional period 10 like
ly TO intervene between the first
day of peace and ultimate pros
perity. Therefore business Is
studying how best TO narrow or
bridge this gap.

Rickenbscker described his TWEEN

What ", to Do With Cargo
Planes When Present
Need Terminates
Experts Doing Some Realistic Thinkino
About Flying Freighters in Air-Minded
Era That VIII Come After the War

There are supposed to be new
cargo planes In production row
which viii come close - meeting
these eost-of-operstion specific.-
tons. Mostly they're secret
planes for wsr use and YOU can't
get anyone to talk about them
for publication. But the mere fact
that there are such planes on the
drawing board is enough TO set
all the aviation brains Of the
country to thinking about what's
TO become Of the planes nov fly
ing.
This line Of thinking was pre-
sented at a recent meeting Of the
socity OF Automotivs Engineers
in Chicago. Phil Amrsm, q
Philadelphia lawyer who came
down to Washington TO work on
the legal staff Of the Board Of
Economic Warfare and was later
shifted TO job which ultimately
led him TO his present position as
head Of BEW's International Air
Transport Division, is the man
who brought TO a head all this
talk about the possible necessity
Of scrapping all Of todsys obso-
lete planes.
PERFECT CARGO PLANES
We may need small planes to
carry ton or 20 economically.
which can land on small rough
fields" says Amram. we may
need a plane with three to five
tons psyload to operate in noun
tain areas on fields too small for
larger craft such a. the DC-3,
which requires a 350o-foot run
way. We may want landplsnes of
varying sizes up to so tons pay
load for regular operations of
from zoo to 1000 miles in areas
where cargo is heavy and landing
fields adequate"
Amram considers much Of the
talk about flying box cars as
decidedly disturbing, for the car
go plane of the future can't be
clumsy, badly designed, hit-or-
miss proposition put together as
cheaply as possible. II the object
is to reduce rates, then the cargo
carrying plans must - just as
much az the passenger plane-be
the most efficient, best-designed,
and the clesnest aircraft which
the engineering talent Of the
country can create.
That's why many of today's
planes may have TO be strapped.

Caring for the injured Is but

Job, however. His principle Job
Is to keep the squadron in tip-top
shape-to be constantly on the
alert for flying nerves" and
fatigue"
The flight surgeon must be a
pal. confidant and resolute physi-

them to come 10 him with their
complaints and their problems.
Flight surgeons must not be
over IS years old and they must
be graduates of q Class A medical

intensive training at the Ran

medicine before they are assigned
TO sousdrons.
The course, recently shortened
because Of the pressing need for
flight surgeons in the field, covers
all of the ills TO which flyers are
subject. Strong emphasis Is given
TO psychistry where the flight

Before the end of next year the

BY PETER EDISON

When the var IL over Their, vii
be hundreds Of cargo planes hang
Ing around the general idea has
heen that these plane, could i'm.
n,ediately take off in all diree-
tons to haul freight. thus marx
Ing the beginning OF q new era Of
aerial transport It's pretty
picture, but sone Of the sviatio
brains of the country have been
doing a little realistic thinking
about this new age Of air. and
much to your surprise they have
come up with the idea that per
hsps the most sensible thing TO do
with this huge air armada of
cargo planes II scrap Il. Engines
and instruments might be sal
vsged, but for the planes them
selvss-junk EN- and make EN-
over into new sirplanes.
The reasoning is based on the
fact that up to now most cargo
planes being flown are as much
as six and eight years old. What
are these planes Well, a lot of
them are Douglas Dc-2's and
DC-ss and planes Of earlier vim
tage. 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
interior, knock out the seats, en-
large the loading door, put in a
floor and make the entire fuselage
cargo space.
GOOD TRUCK HORSE
But the DC-s, lead truck horse
that it is, Ia now six years old.
Its costs Of operation are figured
at around 80 cents per ton mile
for air freight loaded TO so per
cent of capacity. Air express
rates have been from so cents
per ton mile up TO cover costs and
ground handling charges. Pas
senger carrying costs run about
cents per passenger mile. And
at those rates, air cargo simply
can't be handled on q basis COM
petitive with rail, truck or steam
ship. SO freight costs must be
lowered TO something like 10 cents
per ton mile.

DR.. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Nazi
Minister Of Propaganda, appears to
be following the same line with re-
gard to Russia as he uses in his
Worldwide campaign to discredit
the Jews. He pictures Jews on the
one hand as capitalists intent upon
ruling civilization and, on the other,
AS Communists intent upon destroy
ing civilization. Consistency is un-
important; the main thing is to
center attention on the Jews and
make them the subject Of heated de-
bate, thus distracting attention from
real issues.
In the case of the claim by Dutch
Nazis that Cardinal Van Roey has
gone over to the anti Bolshevist
crusade, DR.. Goebbels doubtless
knows that it will be branded as a
fake. In fact, the report may have
been issued largely to have it dis
credited and denied Even a denial
serves to center attention where the
Nazis want it.
The same holds true of the cam
paign against the Norwegian Church.
Goebbels knows nobody believes that
the Norwegian Lutheran Church CO.
operates with Communist terror
groups" Here again, the idea is to
raise suspicion and doubts and paint
the Russians as black as possible.
Victory Tax Change.
Efforts were under way this week
to relieve churches of collecting the
Victory tax from their employees.
Representative Daniel Reed, Re-
publican, New York, introduced into
the House a bill to exempt certain
religious, charitable, scientific, liter
airy and educational organizations
from withholding the Victory tax at
the source.
1t was also revealed that the
Baptist Joint Conference on Public
Relations, which represents the
Northern, Southern and National
Conventions, has been holding dis
cussions on the subject with Senator
Walter F. George, Democrat, of
Georgia, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, who advised
that the Senate committee would
consider change in the law and
remove present objections by some
churches to collecting the tax.
Such objections have been ex-
pressed mainly by Baptist clergymen
who believe collection of the Victory
tax by the church makes the church
a tax collector for the Government
and, thereby, violates the principle
of the separation Of church and
state.
Action on the protests was dis
cussed at a meeting of the Baptist
Committee on Public Relations in
Washington this week.
1t was emphasized that the
churches do not wish to evade the
tax, but the belief is, it was pointed
out, that employees should be re-
sponsible, not the church.
The committee agreed that nav
ment OF the tax should continue as
at present, in view of assurances
that some changes may be made as
,the tax affects churches.
