official recognition of their outstanding ac-
complishments when the organization was
awarded the Army-Navy 'E" last month.
The award gained significance for the
thousands of Vought workers when it be-
came known that of the top American aces
SO far in this war; at least two have been
flying Eought Corsair fighters.
Rear Admiral Dewitt c. Ramsey Chief
OF the Bureau of Aeronautics, revealed that
two of the three leading aces in the Pacific
area are now flying Corsairs. Major Gregory
Boyington, USMC, with 81 victories over
Japanese planes, started out as Flying Tiger.
He now is flying a Corsair Lieutenant Ken
meth A. Walsh, an outstanding Marine Cor
sair fighter, has downed at least 20 Jap planes
Chance Vought workers accepted the
Army-Navy "E' award as tribute to the re-
markable job they have DONE The winning
of the "E" was far from simple job for
Chance Vought Aircraft, Rex B. Beisel, gen.
eral manager, said.
At the time of Pearl Harbor, it was pointed
out, the Corsair was still only in the develop
ment stage. Chance Vought was building the
tough, versatile Kinghsher observation scout
planes. The value of 2,0OO-horsepower en-
gine and such big fighter plane had yet to
be proven.
The changeover to the Corsair-a larger
and radically different airplane-was difficult.
1t required all the engineering and manufac-
turing skill which Vought was able to muster.
To get production on the upgrade and keep
it there, Chance Vought was not only called
upon to increase its personnel and train these
thousands of new workers, but also to set up
a vast network of subcontractors and vendors
upon whose efforts the success of the struggle
to give the Navy more Corsairs also depend.
ed, Mr.. Beisel said
Interviewed at the ceremony, Bertram D.
Taliaferro, factory manager, said changes in
parts, tools and working procedure (many
suggested by the workers themselves) have
made number of jobs in the production line
quicker and easier to do. When all these
changes were added up and new time scted-
ule made out enough time was saved at each
station on the assembly line to account for a
~ per cent increase in overall production.

RATTLESNAKE CAUSE
OF SIX-ACRE FIRE
(ny Associated Pressl

PORTSMOUTH, Va, June g.
A snake indirectly was blamed for
a wood fire that burned over six
acres of timberland in Princess
Anne County.
According to Thomas S. Turner,
district forester, three men were
cutting timber when a rattlesnake
crawled into view.
So, the woodcutters started a
fire in the brush where the rep
tile disappeared. The blaze got
out of hand and the three forgot
all about the snake in their efforts
TO extinguish the flames.
One of the men pleaded guilty
in court and was fined $40 and
costs for starting the fire.

Fighting Ships

The latest issue of the authoritative
James Fighting Ships, in terms of
simple arithmetic, forecasts the in
evitable defeat of the Japanese in the
Pacific.
To the extent that a comparison
is made between the losses of the
United States and those of Japan in
naval vessels, the record shows the
japanese to be falling far behind.
And this progressive deterioration of
her naval strength becomes the more
acute when the capacity of the Japa-
nese to replace losses is measured
against that of the United States.
According to James estimates, each
navy has lost two capital ships, ours
being destroyed in the attack on
Pearl Harbor. Japan has lost five
aircraft carriers to our four. In the
vital category of cruisers the Japa-
nese losses stand at twenty-eight;
ours at eight. The enemy loss in
destroyers has been fifty while
we have lost twenty-seven, and a
total of eighteen Japanese subma-
rlnes, exclusive of midgets, have been
sunk, as against six losses for us in
this category.
This Is not an entirely accurate
statement of losses in the Pacific.
since 1t leaves out of consideration
the naval vessels of our Allies which
have been sunk. Nor does it take
into account the recent fighting in
the Solomons, in which japanese
losses apparently have been much
heavier than our own. But it is
accurate enough to show that Japan,
especially in the important cruiser
and destroyer categories, is suffering
greater damage than she is able to
lntiict. AS a result, her naval posi-
ton, both absolutely and relatively.
is deteriorating at what must be an
alarming rate in the eyes of the
Japanese admirals.
This is but part of the story, how
e'eI' Ior IN Time OF war requirements
are as important as losses. James
has no information on new ships
added to the japanese Navy, and
exact figures in the various categories
OF our own fleet additions are not
available. The Navy has reported
however, that some six thousand
naval vessels, of which more than
half were landing craft, and nine
thousand airplanes were added to the
naval forces in the first half of 1943.
This is a ship production record that
the japanese cannot hope to equal,
and, even If battle losses were equal,
1t still spells certain disaster for the
enemy, no matter how long he may
be able to delay the day of final
decision.

Six More Shortstops
From the Stafford (Kans.) Courier.

From the Stafford tKans) Courier.
Baseball needs to be modernized. When
the shortstops tumble a couple, the
thing to do is have the rules fixed so
another shortstop can be sent into the
field without removing the one who made
the errors If the second one does no
better, send in third one. Keep it up
until there are at least six shortstops
out there.
OF course they may get in each others
way All six of them may keep missing
the ball and the opposing team may
run in dozen scores in every inning.
But the manager can claim he is try
ing to have good team II the short
stops start quarreling among themselves
let the manager appoint chief short
stop who will try to keep down the ar
guments, even if the ball does roll out
to the outfield while they are trying
to decide which one shall field 1t.
That would bring baseball up to date,
put 1t on the same high plane as our
Government activity. Our National Ad-
ministration seems to have made it a
rule that no one gets fired for incom-
potency. He stays in the game and is
allowed to gum up the plays of the one
who is sent in to do his job.
If that is the proper way to operate
our system Of boards, bureaus and COM
missions 1t ought to improve baseball
and make 1t wonderful game.
