RURAL AVIATION GROWS

The average farmer is 1913 per
cent more eager to buy an airplane
than his city brother. That's the
conclusion of Civil Aeronautics ad-
ministration after survey of the
uses for small planes. 1t estimates
that third more farmers are buy
ing airplanes than city jewellers, in
proportion to the percentage of the
population that each group repre-
Sents.
"FOr some rural owners, the
airplane has become farming
tool like the automobile or tele-
phone" the CAA said.
Common rural uses are to spray
and dust crops, to spray mosquito
breeding spots, to patrol irrigation
bitches or fences, to hunt coyotes,
to herd wild horses, to locate lost
cattle, and to scare away birds that
feed on young plants, the CAA sur
vey showed. Listed as unusual
chores" for farm planes are spread
ing fertilizers, spraying soil with oil
solutions and stocking streams and
lakes with fish.

AVIATION NOTES
POSTWAR YEAR BUSY

With the transition from war to
peace accomplished with less trou-
BILE than even the most optimistic
had anticipated, the aviation indus
try found the IL months since W
Day the busiest in the 40-odd years
of flying.
Now the industry starts its Sec
ond postwar year with more than a
billion dollars worth of untitled air.
plane orders, fairly well divided be-
tween civil and military, and its to-
tai personnel nearly four times that
of prewar years.
Highlights of the first postwar
year were the first official steps
along the path to atomic-pow-
cred flight. In the course of the
year, International aviation
agreements took place in the
front line of national policy,
making possible the world air
routes now being flown.
Airlines doubled the number of
planes in use and tripled the carry
ing capacity. The number of pri-
vate planes also doubled-from
32,480 to more than $4,000. Return
of flying personnel also accounted
for marked gain in the number
of certifcated civil airmen, from
$4,000 to $4,000 during the IL
months, or more than 10 times the
total before the war.
Aircraft manufacturers crossed
the great divide between war and
peace and found themselves intact
despite abrupt cancellation of more
than 20 billion dollars worth of mill
tary contracts.
The change is shown graphically
by the fact that in July the indus
try produced 81 military planes
compared with the wartime peak
of 9,l00, while within the year pro-
duction of civil aircraft rose from
zero to more than 5000 in July.

teachers blamed parents failure to
try to understand school problems
as the greatest hindrance to more
progressive teaching methods. The
South's lack of facilities and equip
ment was traced by instructors to
parental apathy. In the East,
schools were said to be functioning
at far below par only because par
ents weren't interested enough in
seeing that necessary appropria-
tons were made to assure adequate
salaries and proper facilities.
Blame Parents Groups.
Throughout the country, Parent
Teachers associations were fulfilling
only fraction of their theoretical
duties and, the teachers say, these
groups aren't as vigorous and as
powerful as they should be only be-
cause parents fail to appear at reg
ular meetings.
Paul Hafer of Alliance, Ohio,
who has taught in many rural
Ohio towns, said: EARN people
want good education, but aren't
willing to pay for it. Some
times, of course, they just can't
afford to-
James Robertson, supervisor of
music of the Springfield, Mo-, pub
lie schools, said progressive meth
DDS have been in effect in Springfield
schools for IL years. "But before
we can 60 further" he added, 1--WE
need greater public sympathy"
Aid to Delinquency.
In big city such as Detroit,
the parents II don't care" attitude
was said to be the basis for growing
juvenile delinquency. Miss Helen
Gilmartin said: parents are apt
to send their children off to school
and then feel that their educational
duties are through. Unfortunately
they don't realize that education
must continue in the home. Closer
cooperation between parent and
teacher is absolutely necessary"
In the South, teachers put the
finger Of blame for crowded
schools and insufficient play
and lunch facilities upon par
ents' apathy.
Miss Mary E. Evans, teacher in
Booker T. Washington school in
Richmond, Va, said that teach
ers are progressive and willing to
fight for some of the needed things,
but parents aren't particularly in
terested."
Mrs. E. H. Rails, principal of
Thankful elementary school for Ne
gro children in North Wilkesboro,
N. c., said her institution was "far
behind in recreation and equipment,
partly because there were only IA
teachers to take care of more than
300 pupils"
Attitude of the eastern teacher
was summed up by Robert K. Stu
art, principal of La Noble Central
academy, Hyde Park, VT Stuart
asserted: 1.-THE worst drawback of
education today is the lack of ade-
quate compensation, which drives
many good people right out of the
profession into more lucrative
fields"

Railroad Unions Denounce Raise
 As Inadequate
Spokesmen Find 16c Hike Awarded By Two Medi-
 ation Boards Insufficient

CHICACO-(FP)-A Ice hour ly wage increase for I,22O,OOO members of Is rail unions award ed by two arbitration boards was denounced as inadequate by union spOkesmen here.
 The award is wholly unsatiSfac- tory,'' said B. M Jewell, chairman of the national conference committee of the Is incorporating unions, which had asked a 30c hourly raise Tt will not meet the requirements of the sit uation. There is no justification in the world for expecting railway em- ployes to accept lesser rates of pay than workers in other industries which are not nearly as essential to the coun- try as the railroad industry.
 Defeated 3 Times
 "These railway employees have ab- sorbed the shock of three defeats one in 1941, one in 1943 and this one today. In each case the government has denied to these workers what the same government has required to be granted to all other workers. The day of reckoning is at hand"
 JeweIl indicated that the rail unions would at once seek new wage increases on 30 days notice as provided in their contract with the carriers. Wage demand of the three operating unions for $2.5O daily increase was pared down in the award to $1.22.

 The association is charged with failing to declare $25, ,888.54 in ex- cess profits and income taxes dur ing the period 1921 to 194l.
 Long, contending Associated Indus tries is non-profit organization and not taxable, cited New Britain, Conn, Wilmington, Del, Miami, Fla, Rock ford, H., Brooklyn, N. Y, Dayton, O., Philadelphia, Pa, and Nashville, Tenn, as cities where chambers of commerce carry on work similar to that of Al.

Building Trades
 Menu Calls For Labor Discussions

MARTINEZ, CaIif.-(FP)-The way to harmonious labor-manage- ment relations is through the stom- ach. So figure the building trades unions and contractors of Contra Costa county, who have agreed to swap views at monthly luncheons. The two groups will take turns act ing as hosts.
 Business Agent Howard Reed of the Building Trades Council (AFL) explained: "The meetings are not in tended to supplant our negotiating committees, or our arbitration com mittees, but simply to give us a chance to get together, face to face, and learn that we have a lot of problems i'll common"
 ''We have good labor relations nOw," added R. C. Kuhn, spokes- man for the contractors. ''But there is more to the labor-manage- ment relationship than fighting across the negotiating table. think we are going to do less fighting across the table as a result of these meetings and accomplish more real building for the community

Despite dazzling display by government of its ability to be- come confused and to confuse the rest of the people," Meany said, ''the American wage earners and their families still hope that some how they will be able to exist dur ing the next few years.
 Before this exhibition of inepti- tude and bureaucratic confusion stands the American wage earner. He is still fearful that the rising tide of prices will engulf him in the same mael- strom which all but wrecked his life after World War l."
 Labor CO-operated
 Organized labor understood and accepted wartime regulations by the War Labor Board for two basic req sons. First, the workers along with all others had a solemn duty to con- tribute their very best to the war ef- fort. Second. workers, who have al- ways been the major victims of in flation, wished to avoid a return of this evil, so disastrous to the nation during and following World War l."
 Meany said that as result of its willingness to cooperate in the war effort, labor became so entan- gled in government wage control that now its fright to bargain col lectively has become a will-O'-the- wisp."
 He called for the removal of poli- ticians from the labor relations field

5OO,OOO Died Of Cancer While CE Suppressed Cure
Current Strike Unfolds Firms Withholding Of
 Atom-Smashing Patents

NEW YORK-(FP)-The story of how General Electric Co. SUD- pressed for four years a revolutions ary scientific invention, the atom smashing betatrOn, possibly pre- venting the cure of hundreds Oi thousands of cancer victims, has been uncovered by Federated Press. A machine similar to the cyclOtron. the atom smasher used on the atom bomb project, the betatron produces high energy rays capable of breaking up the nucleus of the atom.
 Suppression of the betatron, scien- lists charge, has blocked atomic medi- cal research and possibly withheld cure from many of the 500,000 persons who died of cancer in the 4-year period. Scientists believe the betatron will definitely help cancer cases not curable at present.
 Details of how GE suppressed the machine were pieced together from Prof. Donald Kerst, its inventor, atomic physicists, GE employees and eminent cancer specialists. First hint of the story came during the recent strike against GE when the Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago was sud denly offered a betatron by the Allis Chalmers Co.,, after it had previously refused to build one unless the hos pital assumed responsibility for pos sible patent infringement.
 The offer, without strings at tached, for the first time lifted the lid CE clamped down on all pro ductiOn of betatrons for hospitals or commercial use. CE is believed to have given Allis Chalmers the go-ahead sign because it feared the beatron's suppression would be made public during strike-prO vOked charges and cOuntercharges as to who was responsible for in terfering with cancer research.
 During the war GE stubbornly re- fused to produce betatrons and re- fused to license their patent so that other companies could build the ma chimes. Under pressure from the Office of Scientific Research & De- velopment and Kerst, Allis Chalmers was finally given patent immunity to build five 20 million-volt machines for the government. The machines were used to test shells and on the atom bomb project.
 Costs Only $75,OOO
 Meanwhile GE poured thousands oi tons of iron into a $300,000 100 mil lion-volt betatron, which 1t unveiled with great fanfare after VI Day Tests have shown that the 20 mil lion-volt machine, which the govern ment wanted and which costs only l $5,000, is the more practical inStru- ment While GE was demonstrating its uncooperative attitude, Germany began building betatrons in 1914.
 At the same time cancer specialists and radio -therapists in New York and Chicago until as late as February | 1o46-six years after the betatron's in vention and four years after a work ] ing model had been built-were still trying unnecessarily to get betatrons to carry on their work.
