States Slow in Askino
u. ). Funds 10 Plan
Road Construction

Less than one-third of Govern
ment funds available to States for
planning road construction has been
applied for and less than that has
been put to work IN actual surveys
for highway improvements, Mai
Gen. Philip B. Fleming, head Of the
Federal Works Agency, said today
Gen. Fleming warned that made
work might be necessary in q post
war period of unemployment If such
construction is not planned now.
Before the manufacturers divi-
sion of the American Road Builders
Association at the Hotel willard
the general said:
"A total OF. $50 900 900 in Federal
funds has been available to State
highway departments for the prepa-
ration of plans for future construc-
tion-all of it since July and 310.-
600, 900 of 1t since November, 1941.'
During this period the States have
applied for only SIS. $500, 900 of the
funds to which they are entitled
and have put under way actual sur
veys in the amount of only q little
over $4,000. 900.
Estimating 4 per cent as the cost
OF plans and surveys, the $50, 900 900
should generate q program of
81 500 ,000, 900. 1t is questionable
however, whether q program Of that
magnitude will be ready on time.
Back in 1888 the Public Works
Administration received 81, 900, ,OO0,-
600 to prepare a comprehensive plan
of public works and to put men to
work. Because plans were not
ready, 18 months elapsed before it
was possible to employ as many as
100 900 men. 1t was in that interval
that made work. came into the pic
ture WPA was the direct result of
our failure to plan in time. I hope
we shall not make that mistake
again.

Hitler Picks Gen. PeIz
To Head Air Forces
Combating Invasion
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 10.-The Ger
mans were reported striving
hastily to tighten up their
shaken western defenses on this
fourth anniversary of the Nazi
drive through the Low Countries
as the gigantic British-American
air campaign pointed toward q
climax in preparation for inva-
sion D-Day.
Thus the war in the west had
swung in a full cycle, reversing the
position of May 10, 1910, when the
Germans, supreme in the air and on
the ground, sent their legions crash
ing into Belgium and the Neither
lands.
In view of the air crisis, Adolf Hit
lef has designated 29-year-old Mai
Gen. Oberst PelZ to command Ger
man Air Forces in the west and or
dered him to assemble a force to
combat the impending Allied inva-
sion, reliable advices from under
ground Europe SAID.
Pelz Called Air Genius.
Gen. Pelz, looked on as an air gen.
ius and a prime favorite of Hitler,
was given the task of keeping to-
gether a force to strike back at the
invasion fleets.
This reorganization, a part of the
desperate German effort to strength
en- the air force despite great losses
of production through Allied bomb
ing, included the division of the
western air force into three corps, u
two composed completely of fighters
and one of bombers.
German plane manufacture was
reported cut to four or five types of
fighters and bombers.
No matter what the Germans do
even the most conservative Amer
lean and British air leaders are
agreed the Allies can win full con-
troll Of the air within to 10 days
after the invasion starts.
Allies Still Preparing.
1t seemed reasonable to presume
the Allied high command was re-
peating the process of preparation
used in North Africa, where the big
push was not started until the Ger
mans reinforcement and supply
lines were wrecked or in q position
where they could be wrecked shortly
This condition, still uncrystallized
seemed to be one of the key factors
in determination of the exact day
for invasion.
Germany's defensive position was
emphasized last night by 1t. Gen.
Kurt Dietmar, one of the Berlin
radios leading military commenta-
tors, who declared:
There is no doubt that Germany
now lives in q state of siege. It is
undeniable that there is q great
tension among the defenders of
Europe"
Wilhelmina Broadcssts,
Broadcasting q promise of deiiv-
erance to her people, Queen Wilhel-
nina Of the Netherlands, anticipat-
ing return to her country, said she
would take brief rest "in order to
be fresh and strong for the mo-
ment when you will need me-"
Belgian Premier Hubert Pierlot
and the Grand Duchess Charlotte
Of Luxembourg also broadcast mes
sages to their people.
Moscow radioed this assurance:
The hour of liberation of occu-
pied countries is near. The terrified
German high command knows well
that blows from the east and west
will strike with the precision with
which Sevastopol was taken. The
fate of Germany has been decided.

TOPICS IN
THE NEWS

Have you ever seen a B-29 Super
Fortress? No? Neither have we. Very
few people have.
There aren't any pictures Of it
available. All we know is that. as
Charles +. Wilson, Executive Vice
Chairman of the War Production
Board says, it is big and heavy and
dwarfs in size our famous Flying
FOrtresses.
The United States is going to build
a lot of Super-Fortresses in 1914. The
whole accent in the aircraft manufac-
turing industry will be placed on the
output of this heavy-type plane.
The WPB puts it this way: "Sched-
ules for 1914 have been arranged so
as to place tremendous emphasis on
most needed combat types, all of
which are very substantially larger
than the models they supplant."
Our best idea of the B-29 comes
from General II. II. Arnold, Command
ing General, Army Air Forces, whc
wrote in his recent invigOrating report
to the secretary of War:
"One year ago the Commanding
General. of the Army Air Forces
stated that the BIZ and B-24 bomb
ers were perhaps the last of the
small bOmbers - that new super
bombers with vastly increased speed,
fire power, bomb loads, range and
maneuverability were OH the way.
The B-29, for example, will see ac-
ton i'm l944.'
Sure it will-but it will take Il lo
of production to get it out
There must be no lag in prOduc-
tiOn," General Arnold says. Not one
of our Air Forces has the planes ii
should have. Every ore could use
double the number it now possesses.
Tine Salerno beachhead was one o
the turning points in the war. and We
had just enough aircraft to cover on
fighting forces
'The biggest battles i'm the air and
OF the land are yet to be fought. We
will need every plane we can. pro-
duce."
He has great confidence in on
ability to produce. '"The steep Increase
III airplane production in 1G43,' h,
says, have been stimulated by tn,
Army, Navy and the War Production
| Board in cooperation with the airpIan'
manufacturers and the labor unions.

New York City OLNS) ).-Organized

the Joint International Seafarers Con-
ference held in London declared, say
cabled reports reaching the New York
Office of the International Transport
Workers Federation.
The conference unanimously adopted
a resolution declaring that workers of
the sea, whether officers or men, insist
that this time, pledges given by ship
owners and governments alike must be
hohored and that there can be no re-
turn to prewar conditions. In addition.
the resolution calls for fundamental
improvements in present conditions
Representatives Of both officers and
seamen's unions from 10 different ma
tions attended the conference.
The conference demanded that all
merchant seamen who were prisoners
of war be given an allowance which
would not be less than their basic pay
on their ship and that the pay should
cover the entire period of detention.
An important resolution concerning
discrimination against cOlOred Seamer
was passed and Il deputation was ap-
pointed to send strong representations
to shipOwners and government author
tiles.
The declaration favored equality OF
treatment between all colOred and
white seamen and special consideration
was paid to the problems of the lndial
Seamen whose conditions are far be
low British and other Allied seamen.
The declaration pointed out that the
Colonial Seamen in both the Dutch anC
French merchant marines have the
same conditions as the white seameI
and strongly urged that Indian sea
men be given the same status.

The canvass was based on present

showed by their answers that only Il

strikes against vital industries could
reverse the trend against the bill.
