SAFER FLYING

It is already apparent that flight will be im- mensely extended by the developments in range, speed and load which have been accelerated by the demands of war. Not only have planes and engines, landing gears and "highft" devices. for the utiza- ton of small and difficult fields, been advanced; in strllnentation and the development of radio aids have taken strides to meet military demands One of the major advances has been in the field of blind flying and blind landing The report of Ernest R. Breech president of the Bendix Aviation Corpora ton made before the Illinois Manufacturers Associa- ton that the hazards of blind flying day or night, have been conquered is of high important to the whole further development of both commercial and private flying
 Ever since Major Gen. James H. Doolittle made the first successful blind flight and landing in a hooded cockpit for the Daniel Guggenhem Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics nearly two decades ago, an immense amount of research and experi- ment has gone forward toward the punishment of this last impeachment to uninterrupted and unham- pered use Of the air Details of the method by which the of cloud and fog at last have been over

Vagaries of Censorship
(New York Times

CNew York Times
 The present vagaries of the American censorship were srikngly illustrated first page recently In column three Donald Nelson announced that air. plane production in the country will probably reach O00 this month. In column four the Truman com mittee of the Senate complained of the Governments hush hush policy regarding merchant shipping losses Tn the first case we are giving our enemies infor- nation which they must be glad to have, since they have no independent access to it. In the second case we are withholding from the American public information which enemies already possess in large measure. What is the theory principle that justifies publication of monthly figure of airplane production and suppression of a monthly figure. of shipping lossesP t
 It is pertinent to note, incidentally, that if air plane production has reached the spectacular figure of 1000 month it is for one important req son because, from the very beginning of the war public opinion in this country has brought steady pressure to bear to make sure that air power was given it's proper role. But in the case of the sub marine menace similar pressure has been brought to bear in behalf of solution of the problem, be- cause strict censorship of losses has kept pub lie opinion in the dark concerning the gravity of this threat to
 We have long believed that, since the Axis already knows pretty well how many ships it has sunk a full statement of Allied losses would help our own side more than it would help the enemy But if the objections of Navy Department and of the British Admiralty such policy of frank ness prevent it's adoption, then at least it should be possible to devise some of public information such as a monthly percentage of cargoes safely delivered in terms of those shipped-which will at last bring home the American people the critical importance of the

A preacher has blessed the ship. And the great, great granddaughter of Joseph Me dill stands breathless and excited, waiting the signal to let fly with the champagne.
 In this case, the young lady had heard a great deal about the SUD- erstitipus fears of seamen when the champagne bottle fails to break and the ship is not properly chris tened. She had, in fact (though perhaps this is telling gone out with her little brother to practice with beer bottles on the side of the house at home.

AMERICAN TEAMWORK

Even more unique is the fact that few people around the yard had ever built ships before. The elder Jones was telling the truth when he informed Admiral Land that his company knew nothing about ships. But like, Henry Kaiser a building contractor not ship builder, the Jones company has proved that efficiency more than experience is what counts.

Fraus Aren't Far Behind
(Morning Olympian)

There have been numerous instances in which careless or cowardly have failed to register with their draft boards. But far only one in stance has been reported of man running around town registering time after time He is one Benja- min Cohen of New York who signed on the dotted line with four boards.
 The reason for MT. Cohens ambition apparently was not intense desire to get into the Army al- though that is not foreclosed by his explanations It seems that he had two wives, whom he wanted to avoid So took three aliases and registered under his own name and each alias.
 The FBI has MT. Cohen now.
 The wives aren't far behind.

THURSDAY, MAY 27

Good and evil aspects contend to- day. Again labor comes under a threatening influence. Merchants should profit.
 HEART AND HOME: Cooking becomes changed art under this configuration which impels women to revise old recipes on the most economical lines. Glasses for stu dents of all ages will flourish and garden experts will cooperate in helping the United States solve it's food problem. The raising of chick ems, pigeons and rabbits will cause difficulties among small town neighbors, but. according to astrol- ogers, it is a wise person who over comes meat shortages. Sports fish ermen will derive much more than mere amusement through the com ing summer when food problems will be troublesome.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Railway stocks may be unusually fluctuating but the Summer should bring de- cided improvement in values. Re- organization policies will prove for tunate. oil wells will be drilled sue cessfully in new areas and other natural resources of the nation will develop reassuringly in coming weeks. Mining comes under a sign most promising for the output of metals most needed in war opera tions. This is a favorable day for theaters and other amusement cen- ters
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Urgent de- mand for increase of hospital space and attendant facilities will be made by physicians who have fore sight. Astrologers long have warm ed of the danger of importation of tropical diseases and of the spread of epidemics which usually accom- pany the mobilization of large num- bers of men for war service. The coming Summer is subject to cer- tain threatening aspects which should stimulate all sanitary pre- lcautionS in the United States. 4ot
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Terrific clashes of armed forces will increase in magnitude and will bring much anxiety to this nation astrologers forecast Surprises in the way of unexpected changes of alignment by countries that have been able to preserve the semblance of neutrality are prognosticated, Decisive battles in the air. on land and on sea will encourage Axis peace overtures that conceal treacherous aims, it is prophesied. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good for tune which includes romance fol many. Inheritances are presaged for certain women.

Scotch brogue when he explained 1t to me. But I did notice that each block on which the hull rests has a number painted on the end, a number which shows the time at which a sledge hammer is to knock it out from under. This has to be done, gradually, block by block. And I was at least able to grasp the fact that if they were all to come out at once, the hull would crash to the skids upon which It finally rides out to sea. Instead this careful knocking out of the blocks gently lowers the ship like a baby into its cradle.
 The very last act of launching comes when four workmen with acetylene torches begin cutting through two steel plates--the cut off plates-which hold the vessel on the ways.
