COLUMBUS The guys and
gals tho build Helldivers out
iere hope that the Truman
[ mmittee has flown over Port
Columbus recently. The Com
mittee reported in July, 1943,
that mot one usable plane" had
been produced by the mammoth
{ rtiSs- Wright plant here. But
today swarms of dive bombers
roll off the production lines.
What's more, Uncle Sam has
dispelled all doubt about the ef-
ficiency of the Helldiver build
ers by awarding them the Ma
vy's coveted "E" Award. For l3
months Helldiver production
has been ahead of schedule.
Peak production promised in
August was delivered in May.
The Cinderella story Of the
Curtiss- Wright plant began in
August, 1910. On a wheatfield
just west of Port Columbus, the
Defense Plant Corporation built
the nations most modern air.
craft plant. The main factory
building was completed in lat
days.
OF the 23,500 workers recruit
ed by the plant, less than 10 per
cent were experienced plane
makers drawn from other Cur
tiss-Wright plants. The rest
were housewives, college stu
dents, farmers, golf pros; coun-
try ministers and grocery clerks.
TIME is SHORT
Engineers were faced with
the problem Of designing a new
type of ship in less than half
the normal time permitted them.
They had to develop and build
the craft at the same time. They
needed $4,000 precision tools,
to be built in record time.
Bad luck dogged the factory's
efforts from the start. In rou-
tine test flight, the prototype of
the Helldiver was lost in a crash.
Another six months passed be-
fore another experimental plane
could be completed. Meanwhile,
ignorant of plane manufactur-
ing processes, workers chafed.
Every day they reported for

duty, yet after months of work
not one dive bomber had been
finished.
When a few planes finally
were built, they seemed TO have
disappeared into thin air. No
one heard any more about them.
They had gone to the Navy, of
course, for testing. New aircraft
workers found it hard to COM
prehend that 5000 changes
were necessary in the Helldiver
before ii was fit for combat
duty. After a thorough check,
the Navy ordered 100 modifica-
tions in the ship.
Now planes we're beginning 20
move off assembly lines. They
overflowed onto the air field
awaiting the necessary changes
ordered by the Navy. Again To-
cal observers wondered what
was wrong.
Meanwhile, green hands were
gaining experience. The plant
was OH its way. On July 4, 1943,
Curtiss-W Wright sponsored a
Family Day. Morale and COM
munity spirit were at their
peak. Employees were begin
ming to realize that they were
building a good plane, and were
doing an essential war job.
RECORD ABSENTEEISM
Just one week latef,en Sun-
day, July IL, the Truman re-
port was issued. On Monday,
absenteeism reached an all-time
high. What was the use, work
ers felt, of building more planes
to gather dust out on the field,
since the Truman Committee
had said they were useless. The
plant seemed TO be doomed.
Faced with a desperate situa-
ton, the plant called in top pro-
duction specialists. Get out of

Cotton Textile Business
Remains at Low Ebb

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 20.-Civiliar
business in cotton textiles held a,
a low ebb during the last week
due to heavy pressure of Govern.
ment orders. Small lots of print
cloths, sheetings and bagging ma
terials were released, representing
fraction Of needed supplies in the
trade and leading houses indicated
that only hand-to-mouth allotments
can be expected.
Trade circles considered the Office
of Price Administration action In
increasing prices on 100 styles of
work gloves as promising, in their
efforts for increased ceiling prices.
An unexpected increase in mill
tary orders for quick delivery re-
stricted business in wool goods
Scarcity of low priced items due
to upgrading and to bottlenecks in
machinery and manpower led to
meetings between War Production
Board officials and the Industry Ad-
visory Committee to work out q
program for increasing essential
civilian apparel lines. Deliveries for
fall lines Jagged and the trade pre-
dicted that they might be as much
as four months late.
Rayon goods moved in restricted
volume to manufacturers and con-
verters, estimated to about equal
allotments, in the first quarter.
Converters in the lining trade con-
tlnued to report an acute shortage
of goods.

Borer Damage 10 Corn
May Be Heavy This Year
BY the Associated Press

6y the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 2o-Damage tc
the 1914 corn crop from the Euro
pean corn borer may be quite heavy
grain traders asserted today on the
basis OF reports on the winter NOR
tally OF the pest. The borer caused
a loss of $33 1850, 900 to the l943 crop
Typical of most comments was
that made recently by j. j. Davis
head of the entomology department
at Purdue University, who warned
Indiana farmers that there is ar
abundance of borers to provide q
heavy infestation this season.
Practically all evidence, gathered
in Kansas indicates that the South.
western corn borer will become q
major pest, according to studies
by entomology experts in that area
The insect repeatedly has winterec
successfully in Kansas in the
absence OF snow cover in places
where minimum temperatures o1
"a degrees below zero have beer
recorded.
Two methods recommended ir
the control of the moth, according
to Davis, are the use of hybrids
that will stand up under bore,
conditions and planting at a max
1mum rate according to the fertility
of the field.
The area affected most by the
European corn borer extends from
the Atlantic Coast westward acros.
the Corn Belt into Eastern Iowa
and Missouri. Indiana experienced
the greatest monetary damage last
year with Illinois second. There
was considerable damage to sweer
corn in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey.
