NO HIGHER TRIBUTE

No higher tribute could be paid to an industry than that
ceived by the airines of the United States from the Truman
committee in the course of its investigation of the national
tense program. In a detailed report on the present status
g. United States air power, the committee had the following
!, say of the worldwide air cargo service which the airlines
ere instrumental in developing: Hundreds of thousands of
TINS of supplies have been moved by air to sustain military
{ )erations, which would otherwise have been absolutely i'm
ossible. Without these planes, we could not have taken or
ED Guadalcanal; we could not have sent thousands OF Ameri-
IN and Australian troops over the Owen-Stanley mountains.
N short, we could not have prosecuted the campaigns which
constituted our first great offensives against the japanese.
Similarly, cargo and transport planes were of tremendous
value in supplying military operations in Burma, China, Rus
STA and North Africa, and indeed everywhere that combat has
taken place. Some high Chinese officials have stated that
without the aid of cargo and transport planes, China could
have not continued an effective resistance of the enemy.
Thousands of wounded men have been evacuated by air
to points of safety where they could obtain adequate medical
attention. Many of them owe their lives to these planes.
"These are contributions to the winning of the war of the
very highest order and all who have participated in building
and operating these planes and providing the necessary air.
fields and equipment to maintain them may we'll be proud.
"This was accomplished, and could have been accomplished
only through the splendid cooperation of the private airlines,
which possessed the necessary nucleus of skill and experience"

A SURPRISE FOR ADOLPH AND TOTO

Zone hundred octane' is the commonly accepted name for
an aviation super-fuel now available in large quantities only
to the United Nations. The production of 100 octane" gasoline
on the enormous scale demanded for today's air war, is pos
sible only because the scientists, engineers, construction men
and process workers of the oil industry and the contractors
serving it have labored nightly in the last three years.
To gain some idea of how the American oil industry has
done the impossible" in fueing tens of thousands of Allied
planes, facts recently released by a single United States oil
company are enightenng. Since Pearl Harbor, one company
with it's thousands of workers has turned blue prints into
operating units which today are bringing it's production up to
a point where it's plants alone will soon be making enough
100 octane gasoline to fuel a thousand plane raids on Berlin
every other day.
This is an example of how American initiative and enter
prise throughout our country have set a speed and production
record that Adolph and TOTO will never be able to match.
