Navy Bares New
Aerial War Dog
Privateer, Big Scout Plane,
In Production; Can Cover
5000 Miles of Sea.

WASHINGTON. - The navy has
made public some details of a new
search plane which is able to
range u~nescorted more than 1,50C
miles from its base and can defend
Itself as well as attack an enemy,
according to the Associated Press.
Search planes are the scouts or
eyes of the fleet from shore bases.
Within the limits of the range of
such planes, the enemy has little
chance to move undetected and with
out being attacked.
The new planes design is based
somewhat on that of the CONSOLE
dated Vultee B-24 Liberator bomber,
but 1t has been redesigned to such
an extent that the navy gave it a
new name-the Privateer-to de-
scribe its mission.
Has Four Engines.
The Privateer has a fuselage
more than z feet longer than the
Liberator, carries IL 50-caliber guns
! n o turrets, some of which are diff
ferent from those on the bomber,
and can stay aloft 20 hours and fly
well over 5000 miles" It's top speed
is more than $50 miles an hour.
The plane weighs approximately
81 tons at takeoff and is powered
by 4 engines. 1t has a rew of IL.
Its most distinguishing feature is
a high single tail, which navy and
company officials described as hav-
ing less drag than the familiar
double tail of the L%iberator, provid-
ing greater stability in flight, and
permitting larger cones of fire for
top and side guns when firing aft.
Equipment Emphasized.
The plane was described as an
almost entirely new one, with the
wing being the only major item bor-
rowed from the Liberator. The
designation of it is PB4Y-2.
succeeds the PB4Y-1, which was
a converted Liberator.
Particular attention has been CIV
en- to navigation and other equip
ment. Two of the crew members are
assigned to the radio department.
The Privateer is in production at
Consolidated's plant in San Diego,
Calf.

New Super Grease Made
Of Sand Is Discovered

NEW YORK. - Sand has been
converted into a new kind of ma
chinery grease in a discovery re-
ported to the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers here.
This grease does not harden at 70
below zero and does not melt at
400 above. There has never been a
grease or oil like it.
The sand grease is n of the new
silicones, an entirely new class of
industrial materials. All are based
on introducing sand chemically
treated, and made to form a syn
thetic resin.

War Department Cites
Peril in Mail to Missing

WASHINGTON. - The war de-
partment warned recently that
sending letters, through the Inter-
national Red Cross, to soldiers listed
as missing in action may endanger
the lives of those soldiers.
A soldier listed as missing in
action, the department explained,
may have escaped capture by the
enemy. But a letter may only
serve to notify the enemy that he
is still at large in their territory.

Milk Loss

The loss in gains and in milk pro-
duction caused by cattle running
and stampeding in an effort to avoid
the heel fly as it deposits grub
eggs on cattle and the almost con-
slant irritation Of grubs encysted in
the skin represent too great a waste
in this critical period when maxi
mum milk production is so impor-
tant. Grubby COWS are not con-
tented COWS. Grubs may cause a
waste of at least 10 per cent of the
feed consumed by badly infested
cattle.

Soften Water

Hard water can be softened with
an ammonia or borax solution-use
cautiously, or you will add too much
alkali for the good of the wool. And
be sure the water is lukewarm, for
you may shrink wool in one hot or
cold dip. Allow plenty of water,
more than for most fabrics. Dissolve
mild soap in the water. Or use
one of the soapless oil washing ma
terials such as are sold for hair
shampoos. Make generous suds be-
fore the wool goes in.

Driving Shoes

Wet shoes should not be dried in
an oven, on a radiator, or close to
an open fire. This weakens the
leather and makes it brittle. Use
shoe trees or stuff toes with paper
and dry at room temperature with
a good circulation of air. When dry,
polish and give a light coating of
wax.

Taft Hits Waste
Of Boy Soldiers

WASHINGTON. Feb 26 CUP)
Senator Taft tR) of Ohio, today
called upon the war department
10 explain why lS-year-oldS were
being sent into combat with only
relatively short training.
Taft said he would make a
speech in the Senate calling al
tentlon 20 the case of Pfc Robert
r. Pogue of Cincinnati. lS. re-
ported killed in action in France
about seven months after his in
duction. Pogue Taft said had
only II weeks training before
being shipped overseas.
The Ohioan admitted that war
demands sometimes neceSSitate
the use of inadequately trained
men. However he said
"It seems To me that units
in this country could be cOmbed
for older men with more
training"
Taft said his own son received
Ia months of training before he
ing sent overseas. The added
time gave the youth "a real un-
derstanding OF The techniqueS OF
warfare. he added
Senators Ferguson tR) Of Mich
igan and Pat McCarran tD1 of
Nevada said they had received
similar complaints. Demands have
been made in the Senate that
something be done about the
