Bridges Seeks Probe
|0f Air Force Contract
with Kaiser-F
By The Assoeia,sd Press

Senator Bridges, Republican, ol
New Hampshire has called for 9
Senate investigation of what hi
calls too costly contracts held by
Kaiser-Frazer Corp. to build All
Force cargo planes.
There was no immediate com.
ment from Kaiser Frazer or tn,
Air Force.
Senator Bridges said on,
Kaiser-Frazer contract, to buils
159 Clio cargo aircraft, come.
to almost $50 million more thar
if it had gone to the Fairchile
Engine & Aircraft Co., which de.
veloped the plane.
Costs Compared.
He said the Air Force conceded
Fairchild's cost per plane wa.
$3.50, 900. compared with $1.2 mil.
lion in the Ka1ser-Frazer con.
tract.
Air Force reasoning, Senator
Bridges said in a statement yes.
terday, was that Kaiser-Frazel
has had no experience in the
aircraft industry and must neces.
sarily undergo large initial costs.
He said he has turned over hi.
information to the Senate Armed
Services Subcommittee on Pre-.
paredness. with request for 8
thorough investigation of this anc
another Kaiser Frazer contract
for new CHS cargo planes. He
gave no details about the. latter
While declining comment or
Senator Bridges statement, ar
Air Force spokesman offered te
explain circumstances of such con.
tracts.
Reason for Difference.
The Clio being built by Kaiser
Frazer costs more, he said, be-
cause of tooling-up expense and
because Fairchild was producing
hundreds against only 159 by
Kaiser-Frazer
The spokesman said much of the
C-119's original production cost
was borne under Fairchild's out
put of its predecessor, the C-82
cargo aircraft.
After war broke out in Korea
he said, Fairchild could not ex-
pand enough to meet Air Force
needs so. as industrial insur-
'ance." contracts were awarded
Kaiser-Frazer and several other
firms.

Down went the Rockets = a
whistle was their fate. The little
tin instrument played big part
as Oak Harbor lost 1882 to the
eventual district champion, Glib
sonburg, last Thursday at Fremont
in the tournament semi-fnalS.
Two Rocket regulars, Schultz
and Hoover, both all-tourney Sc
lections, bowed out on fouls in
the fourth quarter-Schultz at
TAG, Hoover at 4:46. Each was
tagged with three by the end Of
the half. Forward Gil Ravas also
had picked up a trio by intermis-
sion. He saw action for only
about half the game. Over the
full route, officials Monetta and
Lawrence put the finger for fouls
on Oak Harbor % times while
spotting Gibsonburg on II occa-
SionS.
Fortunately for the Rockets, the
Beas miscued on IL from throws,
making IL. Oak Harbor hit eight
of IA. Gibsonburg corraled the
greater number of field goals, 23
%. Chuck Mcclure, raw boned,
hawk-handed Gibsonburg center,
ran according to form in pacing
all scorers with 25 tallies. Hoover
placed with 10 before his untime
ly exit. Arndt, little Bear guard,
finished in the show position with
IA.
Eight of Arndt's points came in
the third period, a period that
decided the issue. The Bears out
scored their opponents, 1912, in
that stanza
Gibsonburg posted a slight adj
vantage, 1925, the two teams be-
ing deadlocked eight different
times during the first half. An
aroused Rocket five roared to a
1926 lead by 4:40 Of the third
quarter before Spitnale sank a set
shot for the Bears Three min
utes and q seconds then expired
before Oak Harbor again could
find the range. Meanwhile the
Bears were notching fast 10,
mainly on Arndts driving layups.
But the Bears didn't so over the
mountain without a struggle.
Ravas pumped in hone-hander
from the side to put his team
back on a $3.50 basis with $40
left in the game. A fielder by
Mcclure and a foul by Arndt
propelled the Bears to the front
by three before Ravas racked up
two from the floor at 2::19. That
marked the end Of the Rocket of

Many forces working together,
seemed to lift the morning wOr-
ship service at st. Peters on a
little higher plane than usual. 1t
could have been the pastors ur-
gent plea for united and individual
prayers during the moments of
meditation; it could have been the
singing of two lovely Congrega-
tiOnal hymns. 1t could have been
the beautiful way in which the
choir sang. Jesus Paid II All
and the hymn, Seek Ye The
Lord" with the solo part being
sung by Mrs. Henderson, or ii
could have been that the pastor
was in the spirit on the Lords
Day, but all these forces added
together made our morning wOr-
ship very lovely indeed. Three
people were added to the fellow
ship.
The subject for the morning
message was What A Man
Owes God" with the Biblical
background taken from Malachi
$50. The speaker, the Rev. NJ. L.
Simmons said, I'VE owe God
debt of gratitude and respect; we
owe Him our time and talent and
we owe Him our self and sub
stance. When we fail to share
fairly, what we have with him, it
is taken away from. us in some
way or other, or else we are not
able to enjoy it. The borders of
Gods Kingdom on Earth are eX-
tended as we share what He has
SO bountifully given us, whether
it be our time, talent or worldly
goods.

Kansas City, Mo. -- CAMP ---
The Negroes right TO use publicly
owned swimming pools in Kansas
City, being argued in the United
States district court last week by
NAACP attorneys.
The city of Kansas City and its
board of park commissioners
maintained they had a right to
segregate the races under the
seperate but equal doctrine.
However. under cross examination
by NAACP lawyers. Frank Theis,
member OF the commission stated
that he did not know of any such
ordinance.
Thurgood Marshall, special con-
sui for the NAACP stated that the
case presented a clear cut issue of
the validity Of segregation in city
owned pools. The city, he contin-
ued. provides two major pools for
white adults and children and one
for Negroes located in the heart
of the Negro area.
The test came last summer
when three compliments were
barred from the Swope Park, the
most elaborate one in the city,
with facilities for swimming, div
ing wading and sun bathing on the
beach.

Ewing Outlines Plon
To Better Health

New York - CAMP Speak
ing before the annual banquet of
the Manhattan Central Medical
society, Oscar r. Ewing, federal
administrator recently blasted the
high mortality rate among Ne
grocs and outlined a plan to bet
ter the health and subsequently
Increase the life span Of Colored
persons.
Ewing pointed out in his ad-
dress here that the life expectancy
Of a CoIored child is SO years for
girls and only a little more than
SO for boys. This figure compares
TO So for a white child
Still worse, Ewing said. are the
figures for infant mortality AC-
Cording to the latest statistics
20 white babies die for every
1000 live births, while II Negro
babies die for every 1000 live
births.
Some years ago, Ewing pointed
out. many persons felt that the
high mortality rate Of the Negro
was because of his inability to
adjust himself to the rigors of a
northern climate and to his lack
of a natural immunity to diseases
prevalent here.
Fortunately, there were others
who said that the condition was
because of temporary differences
in environmental and personal
hygiene, Ewing added.
However. he said. the major
cause of poor health today is the
