SUPREME COURT:
Upholds OPA

Because illegal sales of rationed
goods constitute an inefficient and
extravagant distribution Of scarce
materials vital to the war effort.
the President acting through OPA
has the right to withhold such goods
from dealers or retailers violating
the price agency's regulations. the
Supreme court ruled.
However. the court pointed out,
the OPA cannot revoke a dealer or
retailers license to sell merchan-
disc in punishment for breaking the
price agency's rules, since the law
specifically provides fines and i'm
prisonment for such actions.
. The Presidents authority to with
hold goods from OPA violators who
promote unequal distribution, de-
rives from the second war powers
act giving him the right to allocate
material for advancement of the
war effort, the Supreme court said.

1t readily car be seen that a
control of Swiss watch accuracy is
needed to synchronize the gun with
the propeller. The device that does
this is an impulse generator"
which turns energy emanating from
the propeller into electrical i'm
pulses. These impulses shoot
through a steel wire to the gun at
a rate of $500 per minute. Since
the weapon can only fire and recoil
$50 times in that period, only
every seventh impulse fires the
gun.
Before an Airacobra leaves the
factory, the guns are synchronized
mechanically.
First use of a synchronization
system was in World War | when
Tony Fokker, Dutchman designing
pursuits for Germans, built a cam
controlled system which was the
ancestor of our present system.
The Allies we're mystified by the
system of the propeller-gun ar
rangement until one of the German
planes was shot down. The new
method quickly became standard
for all pursuit craft.
As the rate of fire on standard
machine guns increased since that,

propeller blades has increased also.
