Navy Picks Corsuir So
For Carrier Duty
"Fostest shipbourd Fighter"
Already in Action From
Corrier Decks

WASHINGTON - For the inhghting
against Jap land-based planes, the U. S.
Navy has upped the striking power of its
front line carriers with the addition of battle
proven Eau Vought Corsair fighters. The
Navy announcement described the Corsair
as "the fastest shipboard fighting plane in
the world"
The Japs felt the power of carrier-based
Corsairs for the first time when Marine
flown Corsairs helped Admiral Halsey's task
force to destroy or damage 331 Jap planes
and o5 ships in smash at Formosa.
Although originally designed as ship
board fighter, the Corsair has been used in
the Pacific as land-based opponent for
the best Jap fighters. Now carrier-based
Corsairs in the hands of Marine and Navy
pilots are counted on to play an ever
increasing part as we hit closer to Japan.
"The Corsair's ruggedness, speed, fire.
power and range combine to make the
fighter more than match for anything the
enemy can Offer" the Navy said.
Navy Asks For More Corsairs
Almost simultaneously with the announce
ment that Corsairs had gone on front line
carriers, the Navy upped Corsair produc-
ton schedules sharply for l945.
To meet the greatest Navy demand in
its history, Chance Vought Aircraft on JAM
uary heightened its work week from As
to So hours and called for hundreds more
workers.
'The Navy today wants more Corsairs
than ever before" Rex B. Beisel, general
manager, said. even with the substantial
increase in our schedules the Navy will
take any additional planes we can build"

Army, Navy Call For More Planes

EAST HARTFORD, CONN. - Two re-
cent announcements of sharply increased
warplane production schedules point to even
greater Importance of Pratt & Whitney en-
gines and Hamilton Standard propellers in
air operations during l945.
A joint Army-Navy committee, calling
for upward revision of production sched-
ules, specifically named seven types of air
craft all of which are powered by Pratt
& Whitney engines, while FIVE use Hamilton
Standard propellers.
At the same time, the Navy announced
it would require 80 to 40 per cent increase
in fighter plane production. The Nays
two front line fighters, the Eau Vought
Corsair and the F6F Grumman Hellcat,
both use the United Aircraft power COM
bination.

Outstanding Army combat planes marked
for increased production are the P-47 Re-
public Thunderbolt fighter and the A-26
Douglas Invader attack bomber with Pratt
& Whitney Double Wasp engines and the
B-24 Consolidated Liberator heavy bomber
with four Twin Wasp power units.
To meet its needs for speedy transporta-
tion of men and materials to far-hung battle
fronts, the Army called for higher output
of C-46 Curtiss Commands and C-82 Fair
child Packets which use Double Wasps,
and C-54 Douglas Skymasters and CA
Douglas Skytrains which are equipped with
Twin Wasps.
Hamilton Standard propellers drive the

inmates In Mass Esco pc

Portland, Ore, Sept. 25. (UP)- Police today hunted 12 prisoners who escaped from the Multnomah country jail atop the seven-story Portland courthouse in a mass break of l7 led by a nfeterm con- vict.
 It was the second such outbreak at the jail in three weeks. Five of the men in last nights escape took part in the first three weeks ago.
 Life-termer Robert Brockman, g, was retaken and admitted en- gineering the dash for freedom after he tulnneled from a cell block into a narrow ventilator shaft and slid seven floors to the basement.
 Five of the men were captured almost immediately as 8 police cor don was spread about the building.
 Sheriff Martin Pratt said the other 12 were believed to have made good their escape although at first thought to have been hiding in the building.
 Wear Officials Uniform
 Pratt said some of the prisoners rifled basement lockers and lied with badges, jackets and uniform hats. One of the recaptured men was wearing complete deputy's uniform.
 Jail officials said it was one of the most cleverly devised escapes in hteir knowledge and more brazen than the escape of 12 prisoners three weeks ago during Sunday church services.
 Brockman a four-time loser who previously fled the Oregon State Penitentiary, told the sheriff he chiseled through the cement wall of his cell with a sharp knife and razor blades, covering the fresh sur. face with soap to escape detection and hiding the hole under blanket.
 Brockman, the last to go through the escape hole, blamed the ex- citement of the younger men for tippnig off the break.

Grim StdrUdtion Facing Europe
Ally and Foe Alike Will Suffer; Situation Seen as VitoI Political Factor

CTS in the Ruhr to 165, 900, who were producing about 10000 tons per day. In other words, something more than half the peacetime total of worker was producing slightly more than 25 per cent of the peace time production. The slackening of output per man is attributable to war fatigue, undernourishment, over-age of many workers, a short age of skilled diggers, and other factors.
 This survey concludes that there is a reasonably good prospect that the present 25 per cent of normal output will approach the 50 per cent mark within the next few months. It Is not enough. The re- port points out the following facts:
 The British, American and French zones of occupation in Germany need about 100000 tons per month as the absolute minimum to keep essential services going, quite irre- spective of any question of supply ing fuel for domestic use by the Germans.
 As against that, the liberated countries-France, Belgium, Hol- land, Denmark and Norway-r1eed and rightly claim 2,500,000 tons per month from the Ruhr. The present output to meet all those demands is 1,500,000 tons a month, or a short- age of 3,000,000 tons.

Lutherons  Missions
 Need Money
 Workers to Resume
 Work in China

Asserting that 1000 Lutheran missionaries will be needed in China alone. Rev. Dr. Franklin Clark Fry, president of the United Lutheran church, last night made an appeal for an increase of a million dollars in the budget of the United Luther- an Church of America last night at 8 meeting of the New England Conference of the United Lutheran Synod at the First Lutheran church here.
 Over 60 per cent of the national leadership of China welcomes Christianity at the present, Dr. Fry asserted, and the immediate need for funds for missionary work are urgent.
 StreSsing the urgency for the cre- ation of more new groups in this country, Dr. Fry declared funds are also required for the home mission During the past year GA missions have become self-supporting and 19 were started, he said. He warned against allowing the old established church to cease to be stimulated by the growth of the new.
 Pointing to tine fact that the cost of living has gone up 72 per cent, church pension must be in- creased, Dr. Fry said. The Amer ican Bible Society has also request ed 3 million dollars to defray the cost of Bibles to the armed forces and liberated countries.
 Dr. Fry as head of the United Lutheran church with it's 4000 con- gregations and l,250,000 members pointed out that there are 28 Luth- eran district synods in the United States and four in Canada.

 Competent observers are agreed that western Europe faces real danger of starvation and freezing this winter.
 The political consequences in the liberated countries may be very great. People perishing slowly of cold and hunger become desperate and disillusioned. A state of mind might arise in which the feeling would be: If this is the liberation of democracy, give us Fascism, give us Communism, give us anything, but give us life.
 The problem does not appear to have entered greatly into the de- Alterations of the foreign ministers council in London. The London sessions have been devoted mostly to wrangling over frontier prob lens, zones of influence, and the like.
 The question of internationalizing European waterways, so strongly urged by President Truman, has run into difficulties. MT. Truman sponsored the proposal as being es- sential to the distribution of food and relief supplies in Europe this winter.
 Coal and transport are the key to a solution. The waterways nor mally play 8 major part in Europe's inland distribution. Tn the present deplorable state of the railroads and of motor transport, they are vital.
 A new report on the complicated situation has come from an official British observer after tour of the affected region. His report says that coal is the decisive factor and everything depends on the coal mines of the Ruhr.
 There are other coal producing areas in western Europe, the report says, "but the mines of the Ruhr basin occupy a dominating position that success or failure in avoiding 8 general catastrophe this winter will be determined by the produc- ton of the Ruhr mines"
 Coal, and gasoline derived from it, determine the volume of trarls- port for food distribution. Without adequate coal public utilities and essential industries fail.
 Tn normal times before the war, the Ruhr mines employed some 284,000 men who produced about 100000 tons a day. The Germans maintained production during the war, in large part by slave labor, but the invasion ended 1t.
