 Tex Williams, competent and
 experienced landing-gear man. MT. Williams tired to correct the situation and was laughed at by the cOsnpany's production and
 inspection department.
 "On many occasions, I have loaned key men from my depart ment to the final assembly line in an effort to correct discrepan- cies which were continually occur ring, only to have them report back to me that they were ac- complaining nothing, as they could secure no cooperation"
 Irons stated that, finally, las' December, he was called into & meeting of the factory manage ment.
 "At this meeting" he continued, T was abruptly informed that l had failed miserably and that, ef- fective the same date, my position was being filled by far more ca- pablo man but, since was one of the finest pilots in the country, they requested that I continue on with no cut in salary, which makes me the highest-paid pilot actively flying B-24 in the Dallas division of North American Aviation"
 However, Irons had to teach the man who succeeded him as chief pilot how to fly @ B-A. Subse- quently, Irons transferred to an-

 ARMY INSPECTION
 In making his affidavit, Iron stated: This statement is not made for the purpose of satisfying any grudge or dislike for this firm or of Its management. It is made because of my knowledge of the conditions surrounding the manu- facture of these BIAS and the de- fective planes being delivered. I feel sure that the priceless lives of young aviators have already been lost due to such defects, and surely more will be sacrificed if these planes are to continue in production under the slogan push 'em out and deliver 'em regard lses of condition"
 The Army inspection, made independently of this affidavit, does not agree that defective planes have reached the fighting forces and it deffers in some other respects, but 1t does agree that North Americans policy in Dallas has permitted assembly of defective parts.
 Charles E. Wilson of WIPE also made an investigation of the Dal- las plant and found 8 bad state of inefficiency. However, 1t should be noted that the North American plant in California, operated sep- arately from the Dallas plant, has done an excellent job.

Wrong Number on the Party Line

The Communist Party of America, fighting the Harry Bridges deportation case, now tells us that never, since it's in- ception in 1919, has the party advocated overthrow by force or violence of the gov- ernment of the United States. Can it be that we, (and our Communist acquaintanceS have been dreaming all these years? Or were all those clenched- fist thteats of "come the revolution" just a lot ofSRRindy campaign promises, in the fineAOfdS American tradition?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Nasal POIyD

Nasal POIyp
 Is 1t advisable to remove nasal polypS? (R. L. M)
 Answer-Yes, nasal polyp is read fly removed by snare. Generally there is underlying trouble, perhaps sinusitis, which requires treatment, else polyp forms again.
 Percentage
 Can the percentage of a child be proved by blood test of father, mother and child? (Mrs. F. L.)
 Answer-No. Blood test will show only which of four groups the indi- vidual's blood is. If the child's hood is of the same group as the blood of the adult in uestion, the adult might possibly be the parent-but so might many thousands of other adults of that same blood group. If the childs blood is of different group from that of the adult in question is is highly improbable (some medical experts believe impossible) that the adult is the child's parent. Medicalese

-Irate residents of Berlin, Ore,
claiming 10 represent most of
the property owners in that tiny
mountainous community, have
protested in county court against
remaining the community Disto-
mo.
Six men and women, bearing
a petition signed by rs other
property owners, appealed TO
Judge E. c.. Arnold yesterday
TO prevent what they described
as "high-handAd" move to give
the community the name Of the
Greek city RACED by invading
NaZis.
Judge Arnold placed the pro-
test on file for a later decision.
w, E. Miles, a farmer, who
headed the Protestants, branded
the move as a publicity
scheme originated by the AL

formed TO perpetuate the name
of the destroyed Greek city, had
reported previously that re-

when Buaski on a 30-yard run,
carried the ball down to tire
Mountaineers' 10-yard line. Two
attempts to score were repulsed,
however, and on the next play,
the ball was lost to the Mount
Clemens boys on a tumble. On
two plays, st. Marys of Mount
Clemens failed to gain, and half
time was called. --
Again in the third quarter, 1t
was either Buaski for the Royal
Oak team or D'luge for the
Mountaineers. The ball went
back and forth from one team
to the other, and neither team
could touch paydirt.
In the opening part of the
fourth quarter, D'luge once
again found a hole in the left
end of the Royal Oak forward
wall, and ran around his right
end from midfield for 80 yards.
The Mountaineers were then
stopped in their tracks and the
ball went over TO the Royal Oak
team. Royal Oak was also stop
ped, and the ball went back TO
the home team. D'luge finally
went over TO make the score
IL to 0. The attempt for extra
point was stopped.
Opening wide their excellent
passing attack, ST. Mary's OF
Royal Oak made desperate bid
to score and came through,
when Buaski went over 10 spoil
the Mountaineers' unscOred-on
slate. Buaski passed for the ex-
ira point, and the receiver car
ried it over to make the score IL
to 7. The game ended before
either team could again make a
threat TO score.
In Buaski, st. Mary's of Royal
Oak had a fine running offense
and excellent passing attack
and had they the Mountaineers'
line, they might have made the
score read differently.
