ness to the Government.
Mr.. Wilson is So and when called

of General Electric since the latter
part Of 1889. He had been with Gen.

Bolster. With the experiments
under way, the Guggenheim Aero
nautical Laboratories at the Cali
fornia Institute of Technology were
requested by the Navy to build the
first small jet units. The first fight
test was on March /, 1943, and was
declared to be the high point for
the experimenters in their long
struggle against time and the ur-
gency of war.
The first test plane was flown by
Capt. William L. Gore, Marine
Corps. who had at one time spent
his own money on jet experiments.
At that time five units were in
stalled on Navy Wildcat fighter.
1t was by far the quickest take-off
such a plane had ever made.
On March 10, 1943, Comdr. Leroy
S. Simpler of Lewes, Del, who
commanded Fighting Squadron S
In the early days of the Guadal-
canal attack, made the first let
assisted carrier take-off. The speed
OF the take-off at that time, the
Navy said, made even pilots eape.
BY June Of 1943 the power of the
units had been increased to five
times their former value and. fol-
lowing further highly successful
tests, orders were placed for guam
tity production.

Willow Run Plant Closed
In Dispute Over 70 Men
Nv the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Sept. 8.-The Ford
Motor Co. closed the huge Willow
Run bomber plant at noon today
and sent $4,000 employees home after
a dispute over transfer of 20 riveters
had led to a walkout by more than
1000 workers in six departments.
A Ford spokesman said if all
workers on shift starting at 4::3O
pm. returned, the plant would be
reopened.
The closing was forced by short
age of parts, he added, when the
walkout crippled operations of some
departments.
The Ford spokesman said the pro-
posed transfer Of the group of rivet-
ers involved no change in classifica-
ton or rate of pay.

A BRITISH ARMY HOSPITAL
NEAR LONDON, Sept. s.-The lat
est member of the German general
staff in France to be brought to Eng
land says Germany has lost the war.
There were indicauons that most
of the other members Of the Ger
man stan felt the same way after
the breakfast surprise party given
them by British-operated German
tanks which reached Amiens ahead
Of schedule.
Lying on q stretcher on the floor
Of an ambulance which was taking
five of us to hospital ship, Col
Baron Won Gleicher said "our hope
is that English and American troops
reach Germany before the Russians
to assume protective control"
During the four-hour ambulance
journey Col. Won Gleicher, until re-
Gently commander Of a panzer group,
also said:
Marshal Erwin Rommel definitely
is alive, because he had q personal
conference with him in a German
hospital 10 days before Won Glicher
himself was wounded and captured
at Amiens.
Marshal Gunther Won Kluge died
Of q heart attack on q train near
Metz after he had been relieved Of
his command because of the failure
and subsequent destruction Of his
10th Army.
A good part Of the German gen.
eral stan In France was having q
before-dawn breakfast in Amiens
when the British armored column
broke In upon them. Won Gleicher
did not know the fate OF the others
but believed at least one high gen.
eral was captured
I'VE knew the British were coming
but now how fast" he said. I'VE
argued among ourselves as to wheth-
er to make an end-of the night
or start-of- -the-morning departure.
We decided on the latter We made
mistake. I had q case in my car
and decided to try to get it. A ma
chine gun from a German tank
caught me in the leg"
