Autos and Hvistion:
Shells Started
By Chevrolet
Howi+zer Ammunition
Production in ST. Louis

The Chevrolet Motor division
of General Motors Corp. has
started production OF 105 nm.
howitzcr shells in ST. louis, Mo,
in buildings still under construc-
ton. Even before walls and roofs
were completed, machinery was
installed and the cutting of billets
and forging operations begun. The
output OF these plants will be
utilized by army ordnance in in
creasing the supply OF heavy
ammunition urgently needed on
the battle fronts.
Initial output in December Is
expected TO total more than three
fines the< original estimates Pro-
duction 4 these big shells is
scheduled TO reach hundreds of
thousands per month in the early
part OF 1945. Under the general
supervision of M. w. Howe, man
ager of the Chevrolet ST. Louis
assembly plant in which military
trucks and ducks" are turned
out. the los nm. shell program
will be handled directly by A. r.
Roskilly assistant plant manager
in charge of the shell division and
j. J. Nuyttens. master mechanic.
both of whom were formerly with
the Chevrolet gear and axle
division in Detroit.
Some idea of he magnitude of
the los nm. howitzer shell pro-
gram may be gained from the fact
that when capacity output is
Feaehed,. II full gondola freight
cars of steel will be consumed
dailW Freight in and out of the
plant will average 80 carloads
day
Daily shipments Of finished
shells will average Is carloads.

Tom and Jerry
Latest Casualty

Tom and Jerry, two iusty friends
Of the holiday season among pa
irons of Detroit cafes and bars,
are missing this year from most
of their favorite haunts.
The familiar bowl Of batter
seems TO have gone the way Of all
fluids demanding hard-to-get in
gradients.
Only few bars are offering the
frothy hot cup, with its aroma
of rum and nutmeg.
To make proper Tom and Jerry,
say the leading mixologists, one
must have strictly fresh eggs and
many of them.
Such eggs. they say. are almost
impossible TO get now.

Airlines Find 1914
Busiest Year
Prepare TO Spread Net
Of Airway Over Globe

The airlines of the United
States found 1914 their biggest
and busiest year-and while set
ting new wartime records in do
mestic and military service. they
were preparing to spread a peace
time network of air routes all
around the world.
With an estimated gross reve-
nue. exceeding $50, 000, 900, made
possible both by the release OF
additional transports and by
greater utilization of equipment,
the airlines showed a gain of 22.5
per cent in revenue passenger
miles, DAT per cent in mail pound.
miles and 7.22 per cent in express
pound-miles flown during the year,
as compared with 1943.
liz PLANES RELEASED
The estimate by the Air Trans
port Association of $50, 900, 600
revenue consists of approximately
Sl08. 100000 from passe myers,
$50, 100000 from mail, $4,000, 900
from express and $1,000. 600 from
miscellaneous sources. This com.
pares with a total gross of S123.
36S870 in 1913 and sos, la, 800
in 1912.
Starting in January with feet
of 1873 transports, the airlines
benefited by a Presidential order
which released 1l2 airplanes dur
ing the year. This placed the car
riers on a near par with their
prewar position, when 324 planes
were operated.
ASK FOR ROUTES
In continuing overseas service
for the army's air transport com
mand. many OF the airlines helpeJ
10 pile up impressive military
records. On January /. 1914, the
AT>C was averaging one flight an
hour across the Atlantic. Late
this year. the ATC reported II
was dispatching transatlantic
flight every. 19 minutes.
World air routes have long been
the goal of Uncle Sans airlines.
They became military reality
through wartime necessity In
1914. civilian service around the
world whenever war conditions
permit was accepted as foregone
conclusion.
