his animated Aim proteges to work

per cent of his entire film output for
the year ending October 2 was pro-

A studio spokesman said Mr.
Disney's production in the fiscal

the preceding period.
The studio, however, finished the
year in the black. The annual re-
port listed net income at $431 ,536,
compared with loss the preceding
year of $191 ,069.
Mr.. Disney made about so films
for the Government in 1943, and
only 10 for himself.
The scores of Government-ordered

Martin Sees Civil Future
For Jet-PropeIIed Plane
Ey the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 11.-Aircraft
builder Glenn l.. Martin declared
yesterday that the jet propulsion
principle used in the Army's newly
announced experimental combat
plane has a very definite future" In
commercial planes as we'll as mill
tary.
Mr. Martin, head Of the Glenn
L. Martin Co., said the fuel con-
sumption of jet-propelled planes
now is fairly high, but added that
"jet propulsion, when developed
past the experimental stage, will
give higher speed for the same
amount Of fuel"
There will always be propeller
type airplanes," he continued. THE
propeller has certain advantages,
just as jet propulsion has certain
different advantages. Jet propul-
sion's major contribution is ex-
tremely high speed"
No one knows precisely how fast
jet-propelled planes will fly, he
said, but every one is certain that
they'll be faster, much faster, than
propeller driven planes"

Mr.. Bowles wrote Mr.. La Guardia

The Mayor SAID Mr.. Bowles had

be sold by the pound. Mr.. Bowles
replied that the OPA had reduced
the price of oranges by 50 per cent,
and would soon issue ceilings on a
pound basis. He said the Mayor
should know pricing of eggs by the
pound was impracticable.
A statement that Mr.. Bowles had
not established price committee to
control New York fish prices drew
the reply that Mr.. La Guardia had
suggested a plan which would have
given the Mayor absolute personal
control over such a committee. Mr..
Bowles said the Mayor had been ad-
vised by OPA that a proposal for
CITY, controlled price fixing was il
legal.
Third, you suggested rather
vaguely that we raise the prices to
manufacturers and other producers
so that the consumer would thereby
derive benefit" Mr.. Bowles wrote.
This is a novel suggestion. I have

Nurses
Needed Now

AGAIN THE call goes out for
more nurses.
The army needs them. the
navy needs them and civilian
hospitals need them.
The army must have 5000
more nurses this year and the
navy has upped its monthly
quota from 500 to $50.
To help simplify recruitment,
all nurses in Detroit and Michi-
gan have been classified by COM
petent nursing supervisors for
the purpose OF determining the
order in which they will be
most available for enlistment
in the armed forces.
And as more and more nurses
go into service they must be re-
placed in civilian hospitals
which are even now desperately
short of help.
To tighten this shortage the
Red Cross is appealing to the
Hidden Nurses" - the nurses
who have retired or are not
practicing their profession-to
return 10 duty.
Hundreds OF hospital beds
have been forced out of service
simply because there are not
enough nurses to staff them.
