PLANE
TALK
BY

About the time the world was
specializing on war one aircraft
manufacturer envisioned the design
of a combat airplane with speed,
maneuverabiiity and fire power
greater than was ever before pos
sible in a fighter.
The powerful 1000 horsepower
engine and huge propeller inhu-
enced the design of one of this air
planes most distinctive features
the inverted gull wing.
Minimum weight and maximum
performance is the goal of this air
craft design. Increased power anC
speed present a completely Of
problems. The shape and strength
of the fuselage must be aerodyna-
mically and structurally sound.
The type of landing gear, its re-
tracing mechanisms and ground
clearance for a highly efficient large
diameter propeller We're but a few
of the problems solved.

law When members die it is the
duty of local presidents to see to it
that the notices are properly filed in
the office. If the office has not re-
ceived the notice within eight days,
it should be clearly shown that the
president is making an attempt to
abide by the Constitution.
The office should at least be noti-

PAYMENT OF CLAIMS

Several years ago when the notices
were at out from the office and the
name the deceased was published,
no more deaths were added to the
list for that particular quarter This
method seemed to have helped us in
getting the death blanks on time from
our local presidents.
Tt appears, however that some Of
the local presidents feel that they can
send in the death notice after the
Boards are over and still collect on
said death in that particular Board.
The law provides that we pay these
claims within ninety d US more or
less. The ninety days more or less
give the following OPPORTUNITY;
ssEf ~ deatls. occurs ~ishia t@unty OF

fore the opening Of the Board It ear
be paid in thirty-five days or at the
setting Of the Boards, therefore, the
thirty or ninety days more or less is
a fine method, provided, however, oul
presidents act promptly. Please gov

the first declaration on United

time didn't want TO talk about

of major strategy were agreed
upon. Then Secretary Hull again
brought out his draft of state
ment for continuing collabora-
ton of the four powers. The Rus
SLAMS listened, then became in

GROWTH OF SOVIET

In discussing Secretary Hulls
proposals the Russians raised
certain objections. The American
delegation, fully prepared, was
able TO say in effect, We'll, if
you go at it that way, from your
point of view, thus and so may
happen TO you"
The Russians were Just as

By PETER EDISON


For few days, this space will
be devoted to an attempt to spell
out in the simplest possible Ian
guage the Dumbarton Oaks pro-
posals for a charter creating a
United Nations Organization to
prevent wars.
The document produced by
the representatives of the United
States, Great Britain, Soviet
Russia and China, in seven
weeks of exploration at the old
Bliss estate in Washington, is in
no sense a finished work. Before
Congress is asked to put its
stamp of approval on the United
Nations Organization, the Dunn
barton Oaks proposals require
further action, first by the four
governments, to complete the
draft of the plan, then full con-
sideration and adoption at con-
ference of all the United Nations
which will probably be called
soon and held early in l945.
After that meeting the formal
charter will go to the U. S. Sen
ate and all other United Nations
governments for ratification or
rejection. No one can predict
when this final action will be
taken.
This subject of the United Ma
tons Organization TO promote,
maintain and enforce peace and
security will become an InCreaS-
ingly important topic for debate,
in and out of Congress. And the
men shaping the foreign policy
of the United States wants this
question debated - want it
threShed out in every high school
and college debating society, in
every town hall, on every radio
forum, in every newspaper -
how far this country is willing
to go in granting TO an interna-
tional authority the right to en-
ploy American armed forces,
along with the forces of other
nations, in preventing wars.
AMERICANS HAD
HEAD START
American planning TO prevent
future wars began even before
the u. S. was drawn into this
war. When Hitler first began TO
blitz Europe, Secretary of State
Cordell Hull set up a new office
to start planning for the peace.
At first this office was only one
man, DR.. Leo PaSvolsky, and
secretary. After the attack on
Pearl Harbor it became a full di-
vision, with its own staff Of his
torians, pol ca | scientists,
economists, specialists in inter-
national law, research men and
women of many kinds.
So the American delegates at
Dumbarton Oaks, headed by
Under Secretary Of State Ed
ward r. Stettinius, were fully
prepared with all the questions
and many of the answers when
they sat down with the British
delegation headed by Sir Alex
ander Cadogan and the Russian
delegation headed by Ambas-
sador Andrea A. Gromyko, for
the initial conference on Aug.
81, 1914.
The Americans were pre-
pared, even, when Secretary
Hull went to Moscow a year ago

RECORD VICTORY

The president of the American Federation Of Mu-
sicons james Caesar PetriIo has won notable VIC
tory over the United States government large group
Of manufacturers representing major source OF nu-
sicions' EMPLOYMENT, and szeobIe block OF public
opinion In doing so he has erected landmark IN this
countrys labor encouragement history.
On Auo. !, 1912, Mr. Petro forbade union nu-
sicions to make any records or tronscrIPtIons
until record manufacturers agreed to Poy royalty
to the union on each ecord not the performers Sub
seauentIy the War Labor Boord ordered him to IItt
the bon He refused Finally the President Of the Unit
ed Stotes politely requested him to obey the govern
ment order Again Mr. PetriIIo refused
Only then did the President reveal that legal
means we're being sought to enforce the long-stond
ina government order They we're not forthcoming
Finally the Columbia and RCA Victor companies
1.-The LARGEST and most stubborn hodouts) desPored
Of any government action. They coptuloted on Arm
istce Day and signed contract containing some re-
morkoble features.
Under it the record companies will pay an esti-
mated 81 900; 900 in annual royalties They must al
low the union to examine their financial statements
and give other information the union "noy reason
obIy require" They cannot check or inquire dis
burseren Of these royalties Their contracts with in
dvduoI artists ore good only for the life Of the COM
pony-union contract.
IF there's strike" says Mr. PetrIIo, "on artists
personal contract is null and void"
The musicions who depended on record-moking
fees for large part Of their annual income may now
resume that work otter two and half years. But
they have gained nothing unless they lose all income.
For Mr.. PetrIIo soys the royalty fund will be used
ITO spread musical culture" and aid unemployed
members.
The artists individual bargaining power, which
Is matter Of talent and public acclaim, has been
greatly weakened. Contracts based on that bargain
ing power subject in the lost analysis, to Mr..
Petro's personal whms just as the record conn.,
ponies' continuance in business wos subject to Mr..
PetrIo's demands.
BY his nnockeY Of both government authority
and public interest, Mr.. Petro has moved into
class with the big business nonipuoors Of another
ero whose arrogant and injurious Of power even
tuoy led to their downfall. And this administration
at present is as incapable Of curbng Mr. PetriIIo as
we're other administrations when Wall Street held
the whip hand.
1t is time that some government curbs we're ef
fected. Otherwise Mr.. Petro's complete triumph will
stand os precedent and an invitation to any other
union Ieoder who might core to follow his path.
Thot path will inevitably lead big labor where
it led big business to loss Of freedom and pres
tee and public confidence.

The New Hanover county death
rate from tuberculosis is we'll
above the state ard national aver
age, it was revealed Thursday
afternoon in statistics presented
to the New Hanover County Tuber-
culosis association, which met at
the Chamber of Commerce.
According to the facts SHOWN,
this county's average is AL per
10000 people. The national aver
age is 40, and the state average
only 1871.
There were 26 deaths in New
Hanover county last year from
the disease, which means, accord
ing to the health authorities, that
some $50 cases of tuberculosis
existed. Only a few over a hum
dred of the cases have been de-
tected.
Negro deaths are four times as
great as white deaths, it was
shown.
At the present time, there are
no hospital facilities in the area
for treatment of TB patients. Since
the abandonment of the Red Cross
hospital near Bluethenthal airport,
and the dismissing of plans to
build new one, patients have
been handled as well as possible
under the conditions.
Projected plans for location Of
a sanitorium at Fort Fisher, mill
tary installation developed and
abandoned by the Army, have not
met with the approval OF the
health authorities. 1t is believed
by those vino are familiar with
the peculiar needs of tubercular
patients that the location will not
be advantageous.
At Thursdays meeting the To-
cal association discussed the SAM
forum problem. Realizing that
erection of a new hospital is not
a likelihood at the present time,
the members pledged to keep the
flame alive" for eventual con-
struction Of the unit.
Plans for the forthcoming Christ
mas seals campaign were mapped,
and announc cement made that the
Junior Chamber of Commerce has
agreed to sponsor the sale of TB
bonds, through which persons do
