Shell Studies JET
Propulsion Fuels
BY SILER FREEMAN

Jet propulsion has started
something in this country. The
jet plane isn't just a new idea
for war. a destructive device
which will be discarded when
the need is over. The jet idea
thus varies greatly from the
robot bomb.
II has started a new trend
of thinking among engineers. 1t
goes even further than that.
Besides the propulsion engi-
neers, the fuel and lubricant
engineers are interested. 1t has
opened new fields for them.
The Shell Oil Co. is doing a
lot of research along these
lines. 1t has built a laboratory
at Wood River, H., to study
what happens TO fuels in jet
combustion.
The a boratory has con-
structed jet burner, details of
which are being kept a mill
tary secret. The burner is fed
by 10 huge fuel tanks and a
1000 horsepower compressor.
This device creates a stream of
hot gas at greater than hurri-
cane velocity.

Compile Records

BY means OF elaborate elec-

in a heavily soundproofed con-
troll room, the new laboratory
is compiling performance rec
ords on fuels suitable for use in
jet propulsion and combustion
turbine engines. In addition TO
surveying fuel requirements and
determining characteristics and
qualities of fuels most efficient
for jet combustion. the labora-
tory is also at work developing
new experimental apparatus for
further use in this type of re-
search.
At a technical meeting called
for sometime this month by the
Army Air Force at the new
laboratory. latest findings in
the field of jet propulsion and
combustion turbine fuels will be
discussed by technologists from

In Business
Babcock S Option

BY WARD SCHULTZ

When Irving Babcock left
General Motors TO become presi-
dent Of Aviation Corp, there
was considerable conjecture as
10 the stock option which served
as an incentive TO lure him 10
hiS new post.
Under a three-year contract,
Babcock now gets Sl25,000 an
nually; and because this lis
substantially less than his aver
age earnings" from G. NJ, he
also received certain stock op-
uons.
Included in these options is
the option TO purchase $4,000
shares of Aviation Corp. stock
az s.. - a share. This is a three
year option and a third may
he purchased or the rights
disposed of after Oct. I, l945,
a third in 1916, and the balance
plus any unpurchased stock
may be taken up during the bal
ance of the contract life.
In addition Babcock received
an option on the subsidiary

participates in two retirement
pension funds.
The Aviation Corp. fund is
expected 10 give a retirement
benefit at 65 of Sid, $50 a year

Costs Are Higher

A hint of what car manu-
facturers face in the way of
postwar car costs is the expert
ence of one local automobile
manufacturer.
An order for fender dies for
the first postwar model mot
too greatly changed from the
prewar job was placed and the
dies are to cost 100000 each
as against $4,000 for the 1912
dies.
Another firm got a price of
Sl30,000 for hood dies which
cost $4,000 before the war.
OF course, these are not firm
prices and may be revised but
they give some indication OF
the trend.

Grow Assai|s
GreenhutP| Plan

The proposed $50, ,275, ,945 con.
tract for a combination public
housing and slum clearance prof.
ect, which was submitted by Eu.
gene Greenhut of New York City,
was attacked today by Allen b
Crow in 12-page brochure which
urges that Mayor Jeffries and tn
council turn the deal down. "
Crow, who for % years wat
identified with the lumber BUSH
ness and is now president of the
Economic Club, made the state.
ment as a private citizen.
DOUBTS RESPONSIBILITY
"After diligent search through
the usual channels Of business,'
Crow said, mo evidence has yet
been disclosed upon which any
assumption could be based that
either Eugene Greenhut or his
associates have AZ yet the ex-
perience, the resources or the
responsibility, which would en-
able them to execute the 0bligs-
tions which they have set forth
for themselves In their pro-
posed contract"
Calling the wording of. the con-
tract vague and indefinite" Crow
also questions whether any assure
ance has been had from FILA az
to whether the proposition is in
accordance with its policies.
FLA HOLDS THE KEY
The entire proposal is con-
ditioned on whether the FILA
will commit itself to insure the
SO-year Series B revenue bonds"
the brochure states.
Although Mayor Jeffries has
taken the stand that Greenhut
will face competition in bidding
for the contract. Grow contends
that "Greenhut so limits the
terms and conditions under which
the City Of Detroit could take or
consider other bids as TO practi.
cally eliminate all competitors.
Crow also sees various finan.
cial institutions and so-called
smart boys" profiting through the
sale OF properties they acquired
at "scavenger prices"
BLAMEs BIG OWNERS
And these are the very met
and the corporations IarKely1
responsible for the slum con-
diti0ns which exist today be-
cause they continued to milk
the properties and refused tn
make repairs and installations
necessary to preserve public
and private health and dccency
In any housing project" Crow
said.
He added that although the
proposition is being sold 10 the
people under the private enter.
prise label. the only thing private
about IL is the profit which Green
hut and other promoters expect 10
take out of Detroit.
.'In other words" Crow con-
cluded. this is just a further
encroachment OF the subsidized
public housers into the field OF
home ownership by promoting
group and racial consciousness
and hatreds. class legislation
and increasing government con-
trolls and costs."'
