y
down in the Hollywood history
books as the year of the great
est talent shakeup since the adj
vent of sound. 1t was the year
of the Great Turnover, from the
front office TO the paint shen.
Actors went TO war and were
replaced by more than a score
of potential new stars. In fact.
the male shortage became so
acute in Hollywood in 1913 that
Jean Rogers had TO marry the
same man twice. She REMARKED
Executive Danny Winkler after
divorcing him in 1912.
While plucking off high school
graduates and assorted 4-Fs as
budding stars, Hollywood also
discovered a dozen or more
distinguished old-timers who are
now firmly treading the come
back trail.
AS an essential j in d ustry,
movieland's wartime problems
of set construction were solved
by the government. There were
plenty of nails and wood and
fabric for all. But serious losses
of technical experts, craftsmen
skilled laborers induced many
of the unions to open their mem
bership lists to temporary re-
cruits for the duration.
While newcomers like Sonny
Tufts. Jim Brown, John Harvey
and Van Johnson replaced the
Gables and the Taylors, more
than one stock girl was discov-
cred and given overnight star
dom when Hollywood discov-
cred the stork. Practically every
glamor girl in town except Shir-
ley Temple became mama.
NEW STARS
Hollywood's outstanding fem
mime discoveries of the year
were Jennifer Jones, fresh from
little theater work in Tulsa,
Okla, who came TO take the
title role in The Song of Bern

placed Alice Faye and Betty

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

Kaiser blew in from the west,
dramatizing the need for more
and more cargo planes, demand
ing contracts. When he couldn't
get anything from Army or
Navy. War Production Board
stepped into the picture and
asked the Defense Plant Corpor-
alton to give him the contract
he finally got.
Today the Kaiser Hughes
Aircraft Corporation has a let
ter from WPB Chairman Don
aid NJ. Nelson saying that he
has asked the Defense Plant
Corporation 10 cancel that con-
tract on the strength Of a De-
cember investigation by a board
Of engineers and their mid-Jan-
uary report to WIPES Aircraft
Production Board, headed by
Charles E. Wilson.
Progress on the XIII has
been tough right from the be-
ginning. When the Army and
Navy refused to give the build
ers any strategic materials or
even let them use any aircraft
engineers otherwise employed,
il was necessary to build the
plane of wood. Planes of 800
foot Widespread designed TO
carry 60 tons of cargo had never
been built before, and wooden
construction turned out to be
heavier than had been calcu-
lated, thus lessening the poten-
tial load carrying power.
ENGINEERS OKAY,
WORK GOES ON
Work on the first model is
still going on. Four of the WPB
engineers who inspected the
project are reported to have rec
commended continuation without
condemning the plane, while
two were in doubt. The most
that can be hoped for is COM
pletion of the first wooden plane
as a test model, with re-engi-
neering on the two other planes
to build them of metal, of which
there now seems 10 be no short
age.
What has happened to the
Kaiser Hughes project is typical
of what has happened to the en-
tire cargo plane building pro-
gram in the last year and half
Practically all wooden plane
projects have been abandoned.
Production of new model SUI
per-cargo planes, while huge in
comparison to pre-war quantity
standards, is still subject to Sc
rious delay, according to the
Senate Truman c o mmittee S
third annual report on aircraft.
Full credit Is given to Army and
Navy for building up their 90
600 miles Of transport route,
without which successful opera
tons could not have been car
ried out at Guadalcanal, New
Guinea, North Africa, Burma
and over the hump to China.
DC-3 is TOP TRANSPORT
NOW
1t is pointed out, however,
that more transport work has
been done with Army versions
Of the 10-year-old Douglas DC
3-the workhorse of the air
than with all other types Of car
60 and transport planes put to-
gether. And while thousands Of
these planes have been built,
even their production Is not up
to original schedule.
In heavy planes, production
of both the four-engined Doug
las Skymaster C-54 and Consol-
idated Vultee C-87 version Of
the Liberator Bomber are re-
ported behind schedule. Pro-
duction of the Lockheed Con-
stellaton was stopped because
of the need for Lightning P-38
fighter planes.
All combat aircraft still get
highest priority, but the need
for cargo planes in all theaters
is still considered great. and it
is also considered important
that planes be returned to the
airlines as fast as that can be
done, consistent with success Of

The Major re- visited Chicago during May 1943 to attend the Appeal Inspectors School, an Appeal Inspector being veterinarian who renders the fin al decision on the disputed inspec- tion report of another "vet."

Albritton was convinced that the Germans would collapse in pretty short order but the First Sergeant was doubtful about the Allied chan ces of being in Paris before Win- ter. Having served in France dur ing the last war, Sgt. Merrifield knew something about the terrain and was pretty sure about his pre- diction.
 We'll, the inevitable resulted. The argument waxed from warm to hot and before you could say "gig that man" a bet was made. Ser geant Albritton was to transport the First Sergeant in a wheel barrow from Section "I's" Orderly Room to the Guardhouse near Base Headquarters if Paris were not in Allied hands by October first; if

There is a lot more to the job of Major John P. Ayres, Base Veterinarian than taking care of Bradley Fields pets, for his main occupation is the inspection of all meat and animal products con- sumed by Bradleyites. However, the Major does find time to care for the more than fifty dogs that call the Base their home and has organized an animal hospital in the Engineer Area. More will be heard concerning this hospital in forth coming issue of the BEAM when we will take you on a picture trip through the building where mans best friend" attends sick call.
 Born on a farm at Corbettsville, New York, on 22 December 1915, Major Ayers had plenty of time to get acquainted with animals. It was no surprise to any of his fam fly or friends when, after being graduated from Central High School in Binghamton, New York, he enrolled at the Cornell Univer- sity Veterinary College. In the Spring of 1889 he was graduated with a DVM Doctor of Veterin- ary Medicine) degree and became associated with a well-known ani- maj hospital in Jamaica, Long Is- land. Six months later he returned to Binghamton where he became a Milk Sanitarian with the Dairy mems League and concerned him. self with the quality control of milk products for New York State. At the same time he opened pri- vate practice at his own farm in Corbettsville.
 When the Axis began to get en- thusiastic with it's world domina- ton schemes Major Ayres, who held reserve commission as a First Lieutenant, received at Cor nell, was called to active duty, and was assigned to the Coast Artil- lery at Fort Hancock, New Jersey, in February, 1941.

During the graduation ceremonies each cadet received a certificate at testing to the fact that he had served throughout the training period and a number of expert rifeman medals were awarded to cadets who earned them firing at the Bases 1000-inch range.
 Highlight of the ceremonies was the address of Colonel HI. B.
