The Hughes Plane
tNew York Times


 It must have been with considerable satisfaction that Howard Hughes ordered the hrotes of the eight engines of his 200ton flying boat pushed forward to flying speed and felt her lift from the and then cruise on smoothly for mile more. It had taken five years and S25 100000 of which S7OO0OOO was his own money. but the thing would fly. No matter how trustworthy the slide rule, there is always feeling Of suspense until an experimental plane is arborne
 Whether the big plane-the largest ever built by many tons-wi prove capable in the many tests yet to be made whether will be economically feasible 10 operate, remains to b. seen There is a limit tC plane size and the Hughes plane may be beyond that as far as commercial operation is concerned But 1t dream flying Sunday. Had the dream been brought to reality while the still in progress it's flight could have been far significant Had armsd forces had fleet of such planes in opera ton the Pacific in 1944 ana 1945 or earlier many battles might have been sooner than they were many lives might have been saved that were lost because transportation did not keep pace with the demands of warfare
 The Hughes plane, and particularly the time lag of five years between the beginning of planning and actual flight, emphasizes again a truth that cannot be stated too often it takes timea lot of time-to plan and build a new airplane. It four years from the first blueprint of the B29 attack by that plane Japan. The jet fighters and bomb that only now getting into production were designed while the still on Todays planes begun yesterday. Tomorrows planes must be started today
 Aieio ii'' S0ii Oo iiiO'Nii VI " e0ii"ViiNS III OO gress and among the public generally think about aircraft a yearto-year basis One reason for this probably has been the rapid improvement in design and performance. In a lield dynamic aviation there understandable reluctance to make haste tco rapidly in production commitments. But there is point beyond which it is dangerous to delay if not to be caught in some future emergency with fine batch of blueprints but only fleet of obsolete planes with which to meet a threat of ag gresson and without the production capacity to get planes into being.
 The problem is one of which our military people and cur aviation leaders are fully aware. But they helpless to do anything about it unless Congress supports their long-range plans with appropriations, and makes those appropriations large enough to sup port bascally sound aviation industry capable of expanding quickly production of the newest and best type of plane The cost is high but this is better and cheaper plan than being caught short in an emergency.

STRANGE ECONOMY

For lack of dollars to exchange Britain has been forced to impose drastic tobacco cutting It's normal import from the markets Of the United States As result of the abrupt stoppage of British our chases the American government recently moved into the tobacco market and purchased s25Co0OOO worth of tobacco leaf that normally would have been sold to British buyers
 Strangely enough, our government had no cholce' fer under the law it stands, it is obligated to maintain the price tobacco at 90 cent of parity which means about 40 cents a pound for cigarette grade tobacco Thus under a law enacted for diff ferent purposes and in entirely different conditions the Department of Agriculture is compelled to buy all the tobacco the British government can no longer afford
 In the gripes Of imitation, the strange economic theories of government operate to keep prices up whsn they would normally go down from natural causes This continued interference with the laws ot supply and demand is reponsble for keeping farm produce prices the highest in history Not long ago we had a government agency to keep prices down. and today the pressure revive that agency for the same purpose is great Yet another agency operates to keep prices up
 Our government has used $25O00O0O in pubic funds to accumulate tobacco which would have been thrown on the domestic market and forced prices

PATIENT PRESIDENT

Truman opened the meeting
 New we're going to read 1t t;l ough first" he explained. shuf- fi'ng the pages of his speech. Then we'll read it through a aecond time, page-hy-page, and you can make suggestions"
 He read the whole speech with tut Interruption Then he came tack and read the first page eccud tune. Nc faults were found But beginning with the second page. the suggestions began to pour ir chiefly from Avsrell liar rman, with Anderson backing him up.
 The Secretary C.. Commerce is hcs.tart and slow in public speak ing, but at th.s closed-docr ses- s.on of the Cabinet, he was elo- Qucnt and eager. Now can't we change this, Mir President?' he suggested, CT Lets take that out '"
 Some of the Hartman points were well-taken and accepted with cut argument. However. most o1 them were vigorously opposed by Clark Clifford. In fact, Clifford tcok over the chief job of refut- ing Hartman and did good job Of 1t. Few of the others backed Clifford up
 tnaly, after scftening this sen- tcnce and that, the Cabinet group reached the most important para graph of ali-that which asked Congress to vote price controls. A new commodity steel-had been added to the speech since Harri- man read 1t over the day before

ME -TOOING" TAFT

Clark Clifford vigorously dis agreed The meeting struck a deadlock. Finally the President stepped out of the room for three minutes. When he came back, act ing Secretary Of the Interior Os- car Chapman who hitherto had said little, picked up copy of the Washington Post, marked it with a pencil and handed it to Truman
 T just happened to read MT. Taft's statement on imitation. Mir. President" he sad, and it looks to me that if you take that para graph on price control out ol your speech, you'll be accused of simply me ~toomg Senator Taft. Other wise, hls proposals are much the same as yours
 Truman picked up the newspaper and carefully read the marked portion. Hartman jumped up and read the paper over the Presidents shoulder.
 That's right" Truman agreed
 That ended the debate. The President stuck by his original position The paragraph on price most important part of the speech-remained in his message to Congress.
 Later, Secretary Hartman, as the man in closest touch with busi- ness and on the theory that the Cabinet operates as team once 9 decision is taken, was given the job of defending the controls which he did net want during hearings before Congress.

BOARD OF CABINET CENSORS
 Hartman and Anderson argued tre.ly; finally asked: Well, can we have a look at the speech be- lore it's made?"
 Certainly replied the President. A meeting was set for the next day at which all members of the Cabinet who would be required to enforce imitation controls could take crack at the text of their chiefs speech
 Al this meeting, Hartman and Andersen went ever the text sen tence by sentence chiefly wanted to soften the impact of the mes sage But no final changes were made, and a second meeting was set for the next day, Sunday, to put the speech in final form.
 At 10 q. IT, Attorney General Tom Clark. Acting Secretary Of the Interior Oscar Chapman, Clark Clifford. Assistant to the President John Steelman, together with Sec retary Of Commerce Hartman and Secretary of Agriculture Anderson all gathered ii the Cabinet room. They remained there for four hours until 2:05 D. m.-hashing over almost every semicolon in the flossage to Congress.

down apparently in the hope that some other foreign country will take it off hands The sad thing is that would probably have to loan the money to that foreign country to buy the tobacco. Probably the tobacco wifi end up wasted in government storage along with millions of eggs and other such which accumulates in the operation Of our strange economy
 Keep prices down is the warning given by the government, then it spends millions to keep prices up Whats the answer?
