Shifting All. Team
New York Tines


On both the European and the Pacific fronts the
policy of fluid design constantly improved to in
corporate lessons learned from battle is proving its
great value. This policy has made possible the pro-
duction of first team of combat planes in the
very midst of the battle 1t is complete answer to
the policy of frozen designs and Decentralization
which both the Germans and the Japanese have
adopted.
The latest example of this fluid design of air
power is the Curtiss Helldiver. The Navy reveals
that this two-pace, low-mid-wing dive-bomber came
of its baptism of fire in the Armstice Day raid
on Rabaul with flying coors The units of the
combat team in that engagement ran up this i'm
pressive light cruiser and two destroyers
sunk two heavy cruisers, one light cruiser and eight
destroyers damaged They suffered mo loss from
enemy action although two whose personnel were
saved out of gasoline and sank near their
carrier.
With the Corsair and the Hellcat fighters and
the Grammar Avenger torpedo bomber the Hediver
now makes up powerful team in the Pacific. In
the words of Rear Admiral Ramsey, Chief of the
Bureau Of Aeronautics the new plane has demon
strated that is packs a terrific wallop' for the
Japanese On the other side of the world the Germans
likewise feeling the effect of fluid combat design
in the blows of the Republic Thunderbolt and the
North American Mustang fighters In both theatres
the swift and versatile Lockheed Lightning continues
to play major fighting role.
The Helldver is a marked example of the elasticity
which is providing the American air force with
superior weapons. Between June, 1912 when the
first production model was tested, and November of
this year, 899 major design changes were made, which,
in turn, brought about thousands of minor changes
Powered with high output Wright Cyclone engine
and equipped with threebaded Curtiss electric full
featherng propeller, it is designed to carry maxi
mum load over long range 1t had to combine the
qualities of take-off from flight deck after short
run and enough structural strength to withstand
catapulting and yet be capable of flying slowly
enough to land on limited carrier 1t has been
kept small enough in overall dimension to enable
two planes, with wings folded, to occupy carrier
elevators and thus cut the time required to launch

the pilot, and the bombing load, either in the form

entirely within the belly of the fuselage. The He'll

WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES

During 1943 the Federal Government spent about
SO billion dollars, in the most part. to defray the
costs of the war That 80 billion more than was
spent 1912 and five times the amount spent in the
year l918-19.
The money went to war, but it didn't disappear
because unlike consumer goods bought with money
money which is spent doesn't disappear. Part of the
huge sums are recaptured through taxation In l943
Federal receipts hit the high of 345 billion dollars
But this leaves more than SO billion still in circulation
added to the uncovered OUTLAWS of the year before.
Some of the money has returned to the Govern
ment in exchange for United States securities bought
by individuals and corporations. Some is held in bank
deposits and is kept in the form of currency.
According to last months Federal Reserve Bull
letn two years of deficit financing has increased
the Federal debt to about los billion dollars-the gap
between expenditures and receipts
About Sc billion of the debt increase, the Bulletin
says has been acquired by private investors and
Government agencies. The rest by commercial banks

Active adverse influences. Peo-
pie may be faultfinding, even re-
bellious, regarding Government re-
strictions.
HEART AND HOME: In the do
nestle circle nerve strain may be
indicated by irritability. 1t is a
day for soft answers and kindly
service Girls should forget romance
by devoting themselves to wartime
tasks.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Strictly
conservative business methods are
recommended at this time when un-
expected events of great economic
Significance may occur.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Replace
ment requirements of the armed
forces will hasten induction of
young men whose deferment was
granted earlier in the war.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
The influence of Mars, read as in
dicating delays, rough going and

to get the deed corrected or waive
the exceptions.
Finally, the Justice Department
has to submit the title to the courts
and get approval for payment OF
the money to the landowner. A
total of $1O4,oO0o00 is tied up in

Arlington, Va, since their homes
were taken by the Army on March

For instance. when the Navy took
over the land for Camp Peary near
Williamsburg, Va, home owners
were moved out on September 8,

1.-THE Tollivers," by M a tee
Howe Farnham Dodd, M d;
$3.50.
People who have not been lucky
enough to be born and raised
in small towns may not quite
understand ali of Mattel Howe
Farnham's purpose in ''The Tol.
ivers," but even they will have
a good time with the book. It is
certainly one of the best small
town comedies of recent years, and
in some ways the best.
Mrs. Farnham imagines herself
a girl growing up in a New York
town of about 10000 souls and seve-
raj Tollivers. It is not that the
Tollivers are soul-less, but merely
that their souls are OF a different
order, and therefore the Tollivers
are suspect in Otsegi. The family
introduced itself to Otsego curious
ly - the only son of the family
defrauded a bank, blamed it all
on a presumably innocent woman,
and then killed himself. His mother
took him to the cemetery in a
white hearse with her daughters
inappropriately costumed in the
encourage, and the Tollivers were
launched.
They lived in one Of the best
