GOOD FOOD CROP

 Washington, March b,--(Up)- The Senate Military Affairs Com. nIittoe reported today that the proBs peDt for Q food crop this year aB largo as io42s "is almost hopeless og EoailEation."
 n 6 report urging passage Of the BAnkhoad bill to defer farm work CTS from military service, tho com. mittae said that Secretary of Agrl- oultuEo Claude D. Wickard 'ls lns cEpAAlngly alarmed about the ins ability to get enough farm labor to reaeh goals established for farm production this year."
 Before announcing itB conclusions, the committee had studied Q special report by C9l. Lewis Sanders Of tho selocslve pe Iice bureau who warned thatg
 1. Tho time has como to convert ngrlcuituTe to the same war pro- ductlpn basis aS industry to avert hunger at homo and unnecessary casualties on tho battle fronts.
 q, Talk about labor shortages, food riots and starvation must DO implanted with action because too ilttio has been done and it iS gOt- ting late,
 T'he committee said that tho Tyd- lzags amendment to the soloctivo service act, granting exemptions to essential farm workers, has been "so olFcumBcFlbed by rcd tape" in itS administration that 1t did not ac. aompilsh tho desired result"
 "DFast boards throughout tho countyy,w tho report continued, "did not administer it with under" standing sympathy Rn,' uniformity, and many farmers who were on" titled to deferment were given little 0r no consideration"
 At the same time, the committee declared, "farm workers were lured from the farms by the attractive wages and short hours and better living conditions offered by war piantB."
 slx members of the committee op. posed passage of the Bankhead bill on ground that it Is Q blanket de- torment of agricultural workers without taking into account wheth. nr one deferred is producing an amount of essential commodities which would make his services on tilo farm more valuable to the na. ton than his services in the armed forces"

Inverted Gull Wing

vought Head Tells How
Nays Corsair Fighter
Got Its Shape

STRATFoRD, CoNN.-Seeing more and more
Eought Corsairs in the skies. aircraft spot
ters along the east coast have been asking the
reason for the inverted gull wing design
which helps make this Navy fighter so easy
to recognize.
Rex B. Beisel, general manager of United
Aircraft's Chance Vought division, creators
of this fastest shipboard fighter, explains the
"why" OF the inverted gull wing in this way.
The Corsair is built around the 2O00-horse-
power Pratt & Whitney engine so per cent
more powerful than any hitherto available.
To harness such power in fighter meant em-
ploying propeller with diameter of more
than l3 feet. To enable a propeller of such
dimensions to swing clear of the deck would,
by orthodox design procedure, call for long
heavy landing gear difficult to retract into the
wing. Engineers went to work on the prob
lem and came up with the inverted gull wing,
with short, light gear that fits into the apex
of the Y angle saving weight and providing
ample clearance for the propeller. At the
