Describing Willow Run as very
much slower than had been ex-
pected" in getting into production,
the committee said:
"The building of as huge and
complicated device as a B-24 air
plane in large numbers presented
many problems. and some delay had
to be expected. The production
line was set up similar to an au-
tomobile assembly line, despite the
warnings Of many experienced air.
craftmen. From the standpoint of
the time factor to reach reasonable
production goals, this was probably
a mistake, because the Ford Motor
Co. had not had extensive prior
experience in the airplane field, and
because. even in the automobile
field, the assembly line technique
was developed and applied over the
years without an attempt to i'm
provise 1t overnight in one single

Despite slower progress at the
beginning, the committee predicted

vided there are not too many modi-

Missing Arlington Officer
Awarded Navy Silver Star

1t. Comdr. Harry F. Bauer. 38, Of
4l4 North Thomas street, Arlington,
reported missing in action when the
transport he commanded was sunk
at Gaudalcanal, has been awarded
the Silver Star medal for gallantry,
the Navy announced last night.
Comdr. Bauer commanded the
Gregory, an auxiliary transport lost
after an engagement in which a
Japanese torpedo plane crashed on
its deck, starting gasoline fire.
Comdr. Bauer is native of
Chattanooga, Tenn, and attended
high school there. He graduated
from the Naval Academy at Annapo-
lis in 1927.
He was stationed at the Navy De-
partment here in 1899 and was trans
ferred to sea duty in January, 1912.
His wife, Mrs. Gladys Bauer, and
8-year-old daughter Emile, live at

ports, in writing, had been seen by
Col. Greulich and bore very impor-
tantly on the conditions at the plant.
Both referred to vigorous and de-
tailed complaints which had been
made by inspectors on duty there.
Col Greulich specifically told the
committee that the author of one
of these reports, a Maj. Walter A.
Ryan, would be found in Detroit at
a time when Col. Greulich we'll knew
that Maj. Ryan was with him in
Washington and Immediately avail
able to appear before the committee.
Col. Greulich intercepted the author
Of another of these reports when he
came to see the committee at Gin
cinnati, and actually took the report
from the person carrying it before
it could be delivered to the COM
mittee."
Following the committees inquiry,
it turned the testimony over to the
Army so that corrective measures
could be taken. In its later inves-
tigation, the Army reported there
is no question but that careless in
spection existed throughout the
plant"
Corrective Measures.
Saying that corrective measM IS
have been put into effect, the COM
mittee added:
"They should assure that the de-
fects are caught before the lives of
aircraft crews are imperiled. En-
gines in storage are being thor
oughly checked before they are
used. These were designed to pro-
vide additional guarantees of quail
ity production.
I'm addition, the Army Air Forces
have undertaken to trace every en-
gine which was shipped from the
plant during the period in which the
Army Air Forces believe the unsat-
isfactory conditions existed. The 10
cation and examination of these en-
gines should go far to minimize the
possibility of defective engines get
ting into service
The report called the Lockland
plant "a glaring example of the
concentration of contracts in large
plants with inexperienced manage
ment trying to get out large pro-
duction on a flxed-price contract
and ruthlessly slashing quality tc
maintain production costs caused
by poor management"
Second Best Planes.
| At one time, the committee said
the Army ordered the substitution
of the Republic PAT for the P-40
n the Curtiss- Wright plant at Buff
falo, N. z, ''but after work in that
direction had been commenced or
iered the continued production of
uurtiss P-40s"
1.-THE later decision may have been
necessary, but the committee re-
grets the earlier decisions which
concentrated so large portion of
our production on plane which,
although usable, is regarded by the
Russian, English and American
forces as at best a second choice.
The report was sharply critical of

what 1t termed Curtiss- Wright's ac-
ton In advertising the Helldiver as
the worlds best dive bomber" Say
ing that the firm had spent $12,448
for such advertising, the committee
said such praise is mot salutary,"
especially since the Government in
the end will pay the bulk of the
cost which is treated as a business
expense.
Raps Type of Advertising.
It added:
1.-The committee appreciates that
some advertising is proper and that
to some extent it should be recog-
nized as a legitimate expense Of do
ing business, but the committee be-
lieves that advertising expenditures,
unless paid by the company out of
it's profits after income taxes and
renegotiation, instead of indirectly
by the Government, should not be
greater than those incurred by the
company prior to the war, and even
then the references to contribu-
tions to the war effort should be
subject to scrutiny for the purpose
of protecting the public interest
against unfounded claims.
THE committee particularly con-
demns advertising such as the Cur
tiss Helldiver advertising. which
was intended to give the public the
erroneous impression that the Cur
tiss Helldiver was the worlds finest
dive bomber and was making a sub
stantial contribution to the war
effort when the fact is that no usable
plane has yet been produced and
that the dive bombers in use by the
Navy were produced by Douglas
Aircraft Co. and not by Curtiss-
Wright"
The committee said the Ford Mo-
tor Co. was much slower than had
been expected getting into produc-
ton on the consolidated B-24 lib
erator) bomber, but attributed much
of the delay to natural difficulties
in establishing production technique
Until recent months, the Senators
said, Ford had not produced at its
Willow Run plant a single plane
capable of use on the fighting fronts,
though some were made for training
purposes.
In general, the committee found
that in most plane factories there
has been enormous waste" of man.
power, some of it because men were
hired before there was any work
for them to do.
But despite all shortcomings, the
Truman Committee said, the United
States has built an air industry
which our foes can not hope to equal.

Wright Executive
Takes Issue With
.HeIIdiyer Criticism
BY. the Associated Press.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 10.-J.
P. Davey, general manager OF
Curtiss- Wright's airpIane division,
Columbus plants, took issue today
with the Truman Committees
criticism of the Nays Helldiver
dive bomber production here.
This plant was requested to de-
sign and build dive bomber SUI
perior in range, speed and bomb
capacity to any single-engine dive
bomber in service" Mr.. Davey said
in statement. Such an airplane
has been designed and built.
mo one In this organization
would deny that we have had our
troubles in getting this complex and
powerful dive bomber into produc-
ton. But we are insistent in our
belief that most of these problems
have been solved"
In support of his claims, Mr..
Davey cited telegram he said was
received recently from the Navys
Bureau of Aeronautics. The tele-
gram, posted on the company's
bulletin board, read in part:
THE Curtiss-Wright Helldiver in
the SB2C, SBW and SBF models
is essential for the Nays war plans.
Service experience to date indicates
necessity for many changes and
corrections which can not be per-
mitted to induce encouragement
but must constitute a challenge to all
concerned to accomplish as promptly
as possible in order to capitalize on
the basic worth of this new design
of improved dive bomber"
Mr.. Davey said the claim that the
Helldiver was "the best dive bomber
in the world" did not originate with
Curtiss-Wright.
"They are the statements of Navy
officials ano of impartial military
aviation experts" he asserted.
The committee criticized the COM
pany's action in advertising the
Helldiver as the worlds best dive
bomber"

To Refute Trumon Committee Charges

cedure Is one OF replacement after

ton conditions. Actually, this pro-
cedure Indicates thorough inspection
backed by a policy of maintaining
quality, regardless of the quantity
OF engines produced. AS matter
Of fact, no engine is allowed to be
shipped until actual test indicates
all parts are correct and function
ing properly.
This is borne out by the follow
ing findings of the Army board,
headed by 1t. Gen. William S.
Knudsen, which investigated con-
ditions at the Wright Aeronautical
Corp. plant at Lock1and. Ohio, as
quoted in the Truman report:
I'm spite Of the feeling among
some in the plant that many de-
fective engines must necessarily be
shipped because of poor inspection.
this was not substantiated either
by investigation or by the service
records produced by the Army Air
Forces. The record of engines in
service which were assembled at
Lockland, Ohio, prior to the period
during which it is found that there
was unsatisfactory inspection, COM
pares favorably with the record of
other types.
Assembled Parts Tested.
t,a A11n
after parts are inspected they are
tested after assembly into engines,
and these tests reveal defects not
discovered during inspection. De-
fects may appear during service,
which even the most rigid inspec-
ton and tests will fail to reveal"
This Is corroborated by the tes-
tinony of Mr.. Harry w. Lake, chief
administrative procurement inspec-
tor and chief of the engine and
propeller unit of the technical CEN
ter, material center, Dayton, Ohio,
who testified as quoted in the Tru-
man report:
1--WE went over their inspection
quite thoroughly and their inspec-
ton is based upon the procedure
which has been built up over
period of 23 or "a years"
Engines built at our Lockland
plant have played an outstanding
part in the war effort to date. They
powered the North American B-25s
that bombed Toxic and played
major part in the Battle of Mid
way, in North Africa and in fact
practically every theater of the war.
All the information we have been
able to obtain indicates that these
engines, past and present, have
record at least as good as, if not
better than, any other engine for
performance, reliability and salts
factory service.
Curtiss- Wright welcomes at all
times official investigation of its ac-
tivities. We recognize that the Tru-
man Committee in its report is
exercising one of the most cherished
rights OF our democratic way of life
the right for representatives OF
the people to openly examine and
criticize anything and everything
that affects the national life. We
believe that this criticism serves a
useful purpose in calling attention
to things which can and have been
remedied in the ever-pressing task
of producing military equipment of
the equality and quantity which the
war demands. ~

Glenn Marlin Defends
Marauders Criticized
by Truman Group
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, July 10.--Glenn l..
Martin, president of the Baltimore
airc.aft firm which bears his name,
declared today that the Truman
Committee report on aircraft pro-
duction told only half the truth
about our Marauders, and the worse
half at that"
Mr.. Martin said the Marauder, or
B-26. had performed "singularly
valuable service in Africa and 1t
figured largely in the 9Th Arn1ys
ultimate defeat Of Rommel. It has
been much in the news in the last
few days in the attacks on Sicily and
it Is now revealed that these bombers
struck the last heavy air blow at
German forces on the African con.
tinent."
The Senate's Truman COMMITTEES.
In report made public today said
that the B-26 had unsafe landing
and takeof characteristics and that
It's production would be tapered of.
Mr. Martin, in a statement. de.
MED charges made by the committee
about other Martin aircraft. and
said that to leave its statements
ABOUT the Marauder 60 unrefuted
would be a grave injustice.
The Martin B-26 has had a
splendid combat record-one OF the
best of any type of bomber-both in
destruction of enemy ships. prop
erty and personnel and in the shoot
ing down of enemy aircraft" he
declared.
That the Marauder is high-per-
formance airplane, safe only In the
hands OF experienced pilots. has
been readily admitted. But the pi-
lots who have flown it in combat
have been unstinting in their praise
and many have stated that thew
want to fly no other airplane,n Mr..
Martin continued.
We have been told by returned
combat crews that the real test of
safety in a military airplane Is its
ability to bring its crew back from
battle, and the BPS is noted at the
Warfronts for this proclivity."
Mr.. Martin said present strategy
called for increasing use of heavy
bombers rather than the medium
types. OF which the B-26 is one, and
said his company, on the War De.
partment's request, was going for
ward with engineering and pro-
duction planning for new models
OF long-range equipment"
Evening star., 1943-07-11

English and American forces re-
garded the P-40 "as at best Sec
ond choice" and deplored the fact
that earlier Army decisions con-
centrated so large portion of this
country's production on the plane.
The committee reported the Doug
las SID (Dauntless) as the only
Navy dive bomber that has been
successfully used in large quanti-
ties, and disclosed that an improved
versions, the SID, is being built.
A new Vought-Sikorsky torpedo
bomber, the TBV, will be built by
Consolidated Vultee at Allentown,
Pa.
The North American ABS, which
made its first appearance in North
Africa this week, was described as

bomb racks. CReports from Africa
said the ABS also was equipped
with brakes for dive bombing

Text Of the statement by g. w
| Vaughan, president OF Curtis
Wright Corp, commenting on the
Truman Committee report, follows
/ The Only way to judge the merit
of a military airplane, engine or
propeller is the way it performs in
actual combat. BY that yardstick,
Curtiss- Wright management and
employees feel that the perform
ance Of their equipment speaks for
itself, and that they are making an
outstanding contribution to the
winning of the war. I.
At the start of hostilities, Curtiss-
Wright employed a. total Of approxi-
mately 5000 employees. Today we
employ approximately 10000, Ship
ments for the war effort have been
! increased more than. Is times be-
tween 1888 and 1942. We did not
seek this expansion, but undertook
| it at the request of the Government
and as a patriotic duty.
Admits Some Mistakes.
1t is inevitable in such gigantic
effort that some mistakes have been
made, but they have in no way af-
fected the finished products which
have been flowing in such vast
quantities from our production lines
to our fighting forces on the vari-
Gus battle fronts.
In its report, the Truman Com
mittee referred to the Curtiss P-40
fighter planes as follows: These
planes were usable and have per-
formed valuable work on the vari-
Gus fronts, but we're really obsolete
at the beginning of the war and of
much more limited value than other
fighting planes produced by other
American companies and by the
British"
Yet the P-40 has been continu-
ously modernized since our entry
into the war and it has been the
backbone of United States Army
fighter squadrons, with very sue
cessful record in every theater of
the war, having shot down from 3
to 20 enemy planes for every P-40
lost.
Emphatically Denies Charge.
The company emphatically denies
the statement made by the COM
mittee that the Wright Aeronautical
Corp. has at any time sold or de-
livered to the Government, or any
one else, products known to the
company to have contained defec-
tive or substandard parts. Wright
has categorically denied this speci-
fic allegation and insists on its
right now and at all times to repu-
diate as false and unwarranted any
such charges.
It is unfortunate that the Tru-
man Committee has misinterpreted
standard and recognized manufac-
turing and inspection procedures
which have led them to conclude
that the engines turned out by our
Lockland (Ohio) plant are not up
to the high standards we have al
ways maintained.
Typical of the technical inaccu-
racies in the committees report is
the following statement, More than
Is per cent of the engines built at
the plant have consistently failed in
one or more major parts during a
three-hour test run"

Even Naval Officials
Confuse Autogyro
With HeHcopter '.-

By the Associated Press.
So you don't know the Diff
ference between q helicopter
and an autogyro?
Well. it apparently isn't any,
thing to worry about. since the
Truman Committee said yester-
day the two are frequently
confused "even by high naval
officials"
The helicopter, the committee
explained, has no propeller, but
relies on its rotor for propulsion
and control, as we'll as for its
lift. The autogyro has a rotor
also, but is more like the ortho-
dox plane in that it uses a pro-
peller and the rotor serves in
place of the conventional wing.
