A Cleveland truck manufacturer
said today that war-borne air
transport Of freight would grow
nightly, but that it would serve
only as spur to the automotive
trade in the peace years. e. s-gs.y
Air transport is lustv infant
and Is growing phenomenally," Rob-
ert F. Black, president of the White
Motor Co.. told the House Inter-
state Commerce Committee, discuss
ing research work of the. Automo-
tive Council for War Production.
There has been much specula-
ton and prediction that air trans

transportation now profitably per-
formed by highway vehicles" Mr..
Black said. Whether 1t takes away
present business or not, it is certain
to develop new business both for
itself and for the others"
After the war the truck industry
will develop more horsepower in It's
models, 100-octane aviation fuel
will increase compression ratios and
superchargers may be introduced in
truck engines, Mr.. Black asserted
He forecast also introduction of
lighter metals in manufacture, wider
use of multi-drive wheels as devel-

and firemen the $500 raise approved
last month in. the vetoed bill, but
with provisions eliminated that
caused the veto.

WPB Revises Order on Use
OF Paper by Printers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Production Board today
revised its order governing the use
of print paper by commercial
printers.
AS originally issued, the order
gave two formulas governing the
amount of paper which printer
could put into process in any quar-
ter of this year. One permitted
him to use 221a per cent of the
weight of paper he used in the
entire year of 194l; the other per-
mitted the use in any quarter of
1943 of 80 per cent of the tonnage
used in the corresponding calendar
quarter of 1941. Wording of the
order, however, would have forced
the use of the formula providing
the lowest tonnage.
The order as now amended per-
mits the printer to use either
schedule.

Maryland avenue NE at Third.
Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth and
at the intersection of the avenue at

box also was to be dismantled. The
light signals were being turned
toward the posts after the lights
were turned off.
On Maryland avenue NE, 1t was

the light bulbs, because the switches
which control them also control

said, the equipment on Maryland
avenue Is to be dismantled, but

to be turned toward the posts after
the bulbs were unscrewed.
The survey, resulting in the lights
being turned off, was made under

About 80 per cent of the goods
transferred by the United States
under the lease lend, Mr.. Stettinius
reported, has been exported, with
military items representing more
than one-half the total exports be-
tween March, l941, and December
81, 1912. Twenty-Five per cent OF
the exports during that period were
industrial material and equipment
and p per cent were agricultural
products, mostly food.
Despite rapidly increased exports
Mr.. Stittinius reported, production
of United States munitions has in
creased more rapidly than have
shipments of these to Allied nations.
AS a result, the percentage of our
total munitions production fur

was less in 1912 than in 1941.
