So urgent do military authorities regard the
need for this new Boeing bomber that they have
requested several of the nations largest aircraft
factories, in addition to the Boeing plants, to
build it. The BIO is being produced in Boeing
plants at Wichita, Kansas; Seattle and Renton,
Washington; Bell Aircraft Companys new
Marietta, Georgia, plant; the Glenn L. Martin
Company's Omaha factory; and major compo-
nent parts are being built by the Fisher Body
Division of General Motors in Cleveland.
How many of the BIO Superfortresses are to
be built, and where and how they will be used,
must remain restricted information. But you
can rest assured that in the hands of cou.
rageous, keenly trained American crews, these
great ships are formidable weapon for victory.

thunderhead himself In the days
when he was 4 candidate, Mr.. Will
lie apparently has carried his own
cooling apparatus with him al the
time. His articles will clear the
atmosphere for any one who reads
them. They may even chill the
atmosphere Of the coming Repub-
lican convention in Chicago, At
which they are specifically aimed.
This is being written after seeing
only the first five Of Mr.. Wilkes
seven pieces, but there seems little
reason to fear that he will suddenly
get hot and bothered in the remain
Ing two. For In the first five MIR.
Willkie has presented the views Of
responsible citizen, seriously con-
cerned with our national problems,
not the views Of an irresponsible
candidate, concerned only with po-
litical success. With nothing to
lose and free to speak freely. he has
been able to indicate what he would
attempt to do If he were President,
facing the responsibilities Of that
ofice.
Real Platform.
Mr.. Willkie is for free enterprise,
but he's for 1t in the real meaning,
the dictionary meaning, of the
words. He opposes the use of the
well-worn phrase to cover up every
kind Of business practice. He finds
that monopoly does not spell
enterprise.
Mr.. Willkie Is not impressed by the
clamor against alleged Federal en-
croachments on the powers Of the
States. He finds "a strong central
government is necessary to prevent
disruption Of our economic and So
cial structure by q variety Of con-
ficting authorities and interests" ."
States rights, . topic on which there
has been q lot Of tall talk by Repub-
lican Governors In recent weeks, Is
not m issue, he says, but = relic.
Mr.. Willkie Is for social security
In q big way. Believing as he does
in . competitive society, he thinks
all children should have a fair start
In the competition; that they are
entitled to health, decent homes
and education Is beginning. Our
present social security laws are In
adequate, he says, and he would like
to see the Wagner Murray -Dingell
bill-an administration measure
enacted after being strengthened,
mt weakeued He offArx M comfort
to those who suggest returning un-
employment insurance to the States;
he considers 1t q Federal RESPONSE
bility.
Favors Public Projects.
Mr.. Willkie sees no possibility Of
full employment and prosperity after
the war except through Federal
planning and, participation. He
contemplates large public works,
projects that win improve the health
and welfare Of the people, create
new markets and new purchasing
power. He does not subscribe to the
notion that business and industry,
left to their own devices, will be able
to furnish jobs for all the men and
women now In war plants or in the
armed services.
Mr.. WILKES views on labor can
not be summarized In q few SEN
tences, but, in a nutshell, they are
just about the same as those Of
most intelligent, responsible leaders
Of organized American labor.

sumed his own defense today in
the suit for criminal libel brought

The Mexican. Joe Zavilla. was
shot through the heart by the
sheriff in a fight on the main

his tiny one-sheet paper that il
would have been more fitting TO

through the heart and used the

A coroner's jury had returned a
verdict of self-defense. In Zavilla S
pocket was a long-bladed knife
which the sheriff contended the
man was attempting to draw when
he was shot.
