Aerolectric Power
For Modern Planes

Electricity and electronics are
taking over the control problems
of the modern airplane. This is
particularly true Of the larger air.
craft such as bombers and CONNER
cial transports, but it will be ap-
plicablc to every type Of future
planes
The very nature Of an airplane
makes remote control a necessity.
The operator cannot leave his seat
to move out on the wings or back
on the tail to adjust the control
surfaces that will change the
course of his flight. This has to be
done from one central location.
First mechanical means were en-
ployed. Later hydraulic mechan-
isns were introduced to add
strength to the muscles of the
pilot.
Enakopravnost. [volume] (Cleveland, O.[Ohio]) 1918-1957, 1944-04-01

The increased size Of present air.
craft has necessitated the use Of the
electronic control devices for in
stantaneous response and accuracy.
As more electrical equipment is
added aerolectric generator plants,
designed to meet aircraft specifica-
tions, supply the power. They have
the weight advantage over batter
les and the ability to supply power
over q. long period of time. 4
} This power is available continu-
ously, and is delivered at a. con-
stant voltage. 1t has now reached
point where large planes carry
an aer0lectric power unit whose
primary purpose is to provide eiec-
tric power for control nechsnisnas
and in addition electricity for hest
Ing, cooking and Refrigeration.

ExPIolnotion

Several weeks ago the New
York office Of the Joint Anti
Fascist Refugee Committee re-
quested me to sign a letter ap-
pealing for funds to be used in
helping various anti-fascistl
refugees in various parts of the
world. | have known this Com
mittee for several years; it has
the support of many very
prominent American liberals
and progressives; and when the
request was made I was given
the impression that the appeal
would be sent to some eleven
thousand Americans on the or
ganization's mailing list; that
is to the general American
public. Knowing of the good
work the Joint Anti-Fascist
Refugee Committee has done in
the past, especially right after
the Spanish Civil war, when it
helped a good many Yugoslav
fighters who had escaped from
Francois Spain, I authorized
the sending out of the appeal
letter. ....
Lately, however, some of the
branch offices of the Joint
Anti-Fascist Refugee Commit
tee, notably those in Cleveland
and in California, took the lib.
erty to mail the appeal letter
to Slovenian, Serbian and Gro.
attain Americans, apparently by
the thousands. The appeal was
published in some of the Yugo.
slav papers.
This has created AN unfor.
tunate confusion among, ano
brought me a great many in
quiries from, Yugoslav Ameri
cans; and l am compelled tt
take this means Of stating thai
the local branches of the joint
! Anti-Fascist Refugee were no
authorized by, me to circularizt
the appeal under my signature
among Yugoslav Americans
! If any Yugoslav American
has made a contribution to tht
Joint A n i-Fascist Refuge,
Committee in reply to the ap
/ peal over my signature will
the idea that he was giving fol
some purely Yugoslay anti
:, fascist purpose, he would, be
}, I believe, justified in request
ing a refund of the money.
But l must emphasize tina
the cause of the Joint-Anti-F Fas
, cist Refugee Committee is, :
good >one and deserves the sup
port of any anti-fascist.

A nation which for q thousand

this nation, single-handed, has
dared to make a decisive stand

"The sum total of the COM
mon sense of the common people
is the greatest and soundest
force on earth" - Thomas JET
| ferson. --
Little by little this truth is
being acknowledged--little by
little its various facets are be-
, ing brought into focus-little
by little the soul-stirring dra-
ma of our people in Europe is
being revealed.
When the Nazi-Fascists blitz-
krieged into Jugoslavia on
March 25th, 1941, it seemed
just a routine matter to them,
another country in which to ex-
plot their powers of destruc-
tion to the hilt, a Slav country
which had always been looked
upon as quite a choice morsel
by the Germanic master plan
ners.
Two days later the Yugoslav
government dra m t ic a Y
placed itself on the side of the
United Nations-on March 27,
1941-astounding the world, as
we'll as the. Masters of Intuition,
no end. But the people fully
realized the vengeance that
would be brought upon their
heads, they had had thousand
years of experience.
We, Slovenes, are known as a
rather mild and docile people,
but if we look closely into our
history, we will find quite a
few individuals who belle that
category. We will find crusa-
ders, martyrs, sturdy fighters
and independent thinkers. They
battled the Turks fiercely; they
fought in the numerous peasant
uprisings; and our first writer,
Primoz Trubar, was in the van
guard of European independent
thought. We have our counter
parts of the French patriots
and the American (Partisan)
Minutemen.
The people were proud and
happy at the stand their gov
ernment had taken on March
9th, 1941-they knew well
enough what was in store fOl
them, and grimly they sci
themselves to face it. For three
long years, day in and day out
they have faced disaster anc
destruction, cruelty and horror
they have seen the face of death
around them, suffered untolC
agonies-yet fought on and on
courageously, relentlessly.
When they saw their men
folk forced into slavery, theil
young women sent off to worse
than slavery, their children tax
en- to Germany to be re-educa'
ted, their houses pillaged anC
burned, their villages levelled
when they saw hundreds OF
their own folk mercilessly mur
dered, they had an answe,
ready. They went into the
woods and mountains to be able
to fight back at their enemy
they found leaders who taught
them to live the life of guer
rilla fighters, they became Par
|,tisans. Their existence was pre-
carious and dangerous-an ex
istence possible only to those
whose courage is of the strong
est, whose faith and hope ir
the future is Of the highest.

the Partisans. But the killings
of hostages and civilians in cold

against the Germans -.
around and within these
heroic forces (Tito's Partisans)
a national and unifying move
ment has developed. Communist
elements had the honor of the
beginners, but as the movement
has increased in strength and
numbers, a modifying and uni
flying process has taken place
and national conceptions have
supervened. In Marshal Tito
the Partisans have found an
outstanding leader, glorious in
the fight for freedom. Unhap-
PLY, perhaps inevitably, these
new forces came into collision
with those under General Mix
halovich. The activities of the
Partisans upset his command
ers' accommodations CD with
the enemy. He endeavered to
suppress them. Many tragic
fights took place and bitter
feuds sprang UP between men
of the same race and country.
Of course the Partisans of Mar
shall Tito are the only people
who are doing any effective
fighting against the Germans
now. For a long time past l
have taken particular interest
in Marshal Tito's movement
and have tried and am trying
by every means to bring him
help I can assure the House
that every effort in our power
will be made to aid and sustain
Marshal Tito and his gallant
bands :"
In our midst it is only natur-
al that people who were born
in Europe or who have lived
there for while should feel it
their duty and obligation to
help those people achieve the
! freedom and liberty they are sc
valiantly fighting for, and
which we in the United States
;, 50 proudly and consciously re.
gard as part of our American
heritage. There are also many
people who have no personal
, ties but feel a desire to lend q
helping hand to those in such
!, dire need. All these, young and
old, are now enrolled as mem
; bers of the SANG and JPO.

A unique sidelight on the move to

with Hawes' long standing desire to
shoot Kodiak bear in Alaska. A zeal
GUS hunter, fisherman and an-around
sportsman Hawes, as Senator in 1880,
thought the time had come to realize
this lifelong ambition.
Aware that the Senate Insular Al
fairs Committee made junkets to Alaska,
he finagled an appointment to the COM
mittee with the sinister motive of get
ting free trip to the Arctic and crack
at the Kodiak. About year later. when
a Filipino appeared before the commit
tee in behalf of island independence
he was subjected to severe grilling by
the Republican chairman OF the COM
mittee Hawes found himself taking
the Filipinos side, and subsequently be-
came so interested in the issue that he
collaborated with two other Congress
men in authoring the independence bill.
The measure, incidentally, passed both
houses by good ma jorities, but was We
toed by President Hoover. 1t was then
adopted over his veto.
The promise of independence in the
Hawes-Cutting- Hare bill was vital fac
