Nazis Saving Planes
For Internal Crisis,
Gen. Arnold Believes
BY w. H. sHIPPEN, Jr.,
Aviation Editor, The Star.

= Reduction of the German Luft-
waite to point where 1t must save
its remaining aircraft against the
possibility of some internal crisis In
Germany was described here late
yesterday by Gen .eHenry T. Arnold,
chief of the Army Air Forces.
In answer to question, What
has become of the Luftwaffe?" the
general replied that repeated bomb
ings have grounded it, principally
through the progressive destruction
of fuel supplies. He added 1t is not
generally known here that the Nazis
have lost two-thirds of their normal
production of gasoline and oil.
German trucks and then tanks
began to run out Of gasoline, the
general said. Later, training air
planes were grounded, with q cor
responding reduction In pilot re-
placements. After that combat
flights had to be reduced.
Still Have Planes,
Although the Germans still have
more airplanes than they did when
they started the war in Europe, the
general declared, they can no longer
fly them against the great air arma-
das which continue to pound Ger
many by night and day with in
creasing force.
The speaker told $50 members and
guests of the Wings Club at lunch
con meeting in the Hotel Statler he
Is convinced the Nazis are now saw
ing their remaining airplanesto cope
with some internal crisis within
Germany.
"The basic pattern of our air at
tack is as clear to the Nazis NOW as
the Handwriting on the wall It
soon will be equally as clear to the
Japs!" the general said.
Future Operations.
Asked about the future of air.
borne operations, Gen. Arnold said
that while he was not speaking for
the War Department he. personally
is convinced that such attacks can
be relied upon to break dead-locks
between land armies. Every verti-
cal development we. have tried so far
has been success he added.
Only three Super Fortresses have
been lost through enemy action, he
said, while a whole formation of
them shot their way through IS
Japanese fighters and came home
with only 13 bullet holes to show
for the engagement.
The speaker predicted that the
huge planes eventually will be going
into battle in great numbers. "We
will have as many Of them as we
now have Flying Fortresses," he
added.
Jet-Propelled Fighters.
ASKED if we have kept pace with
the Germans In developing jet-pro-
PEELED fighters, Gen. Arnold said
that Nazi UPS encountered SO far
have a strange reluctance to join
combat. They hang on the flank Of
our bombers, he added, but rarely
close the range.
This may be due to lack of train
ing or numbers, but when and II, the
Nazis put up UPS in force, the gen.
eral declared, the Americans and
British hope to meet them with
even more advanced weapons.
Gen. Arnold was introduced by
Brig. Gen. william E. Gilmore, re-
tired. His address marked the first

AFRICANS SEEK ANSWER

CAPETOWN, South Africa, Sept.
27.-(ANP)-A recent decision of
the South African government to
make additional pension grants
brought on no end of trouble when
it began to tamper with the color
situation. The conflict may end up
with each citizen wearing dog tag
stating whether he is European,
a native or a colored person.
When is person a European,
colored or native, that is the ques-
tion. Native" has the following
definitions: (a) a member of an
aboriginal race or tribe Of Africa;
or (b) Hottentot, Bushman or
Koranna; or (c) a person who re-
sides in a native location as defined
in section 10 of the natives taxa
tion and development act, 1925; or
(d) an American Negro.
Things became bit confused
and twisted when it was asserted
that an American Negro is not re-
garded as colored or a European,
but as a native.
The matter of distinguishing
among terms becomes more in
volved in consideration of the fol-
lowing statements and questions:
What is the mixed child of an In
dian and a native? Native women
marry colored men or vice versa;
what is the child from that marri-
age? If native here intermarries
a colored person and they have
children that grow up among the
colored here, then what are the
children?
African editors, leaders and citi-
zens are demanding clarifcation.

URGES SEGREGATION
IN ARMY HOSPITAL

AUGUSTA, Ca, Sept. 27.-
(ANP) = Georgia congressional
representatives were called upon
by Publisher William S. Morris of
the Augusta Chronicle, white daily,
to protest to the war departments
anti-segregation order for military
reservations, asserting that it is
threatening aims for better rela-
tions between the white and Negro
races.
Morris wired his request to Sen.
Walter George, Sen. Richard Rus
sell and Rep. Clarence Brown after
a disclosure that white and Negro
patients are quartered in the same
wards at Oliver General hospital
here.
Morris said in his telegram: "Our
Negro soldiers should most GER
tainly be accorded the same treat
ment as that received by the white
soldiers. There should be no diff
ferentiation whatsoever in that re-
spect; but when the segregation
bars are let down, which tends to
esablish social equality, I feel GER
tain that a situation is being Gre
ated which is repugnant to the
people of the south. Traditions and
a way of life which were inborn
and inbred in our peoples genera
ions ago cannot be changed over
night by government fiat.
II feel that, in failing to observe
the established southern custom of
race segregation, the government
is helping to defeat the very thing
that all of us are striving to ac-
complish-better relations between
the races, and the advancement of
tolerance, understanding and good
will.
''It is my hope that you will do
everything in your power to alter
the situation as it now stands"

Asks for Ceilings on
Wide Range Of Good!
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Office of Price Administra-
|tion's Consumer Advisory Commit
tee yesterday called for extension
of retail dollar -and-cent price CELL
lings over broad range of COM
ODDITIES from work clothes and hard
ware to drugs and cosmetics.
In recommendation to Price Ad-
ministrator Chester Bowles, the
committee favored fiat, specific
prices as an aid to the public in
readily recognizing and helping to
enforce ceilings. The system al
ready is in effect for many food
items.
The committee also recommended
that OPA make a special effort
to see that information about ra-
tioning and price control reaches
Negro citizens.
New Regulation Studied.
The petition for dollar -and-cent
ceilings was submitted as the OPA
studied a proposed new retail price
regulation for most products except
food. 1t provided for calculation of
retailer maximum prices on the
basis OF their average percentage
mark-up in 1943.
The committee, composed of %
persons active in consumer work.
said it opposed adoption of this
regulation unless it was accom-
panied by substantial program for
dollar-and-cent ceiling and
served to supplement that more
satisfactory form of price control" +"
In asking emphasis on special in
formation for Negroes, the COM
mittee advocated an increase of
Negro personnel on local rationing
boards and in OPA district and
regional offices.
Minor Production Increases.
Meanwhile, the Office of War In
formation reported that definite
quality improvement and some in
crease in production of minor civil
ian goods are all that consumers
can expect in the next months.
There are no early prospects for
the production of heavy durable
goods such as automobiles, washing
machines, mechanical refrigerators,
vacuum cleaners or radios" said the
report.
A threatened shortage of work
clothing has reached the point, the
report said, that unless production
is speeded up, many workers will be
out of work clothes. Large scale
resumption Of production for civil
ians must wait until the military
situation is more clearly defined.
