After Korea came the cold war,

the American aircraft industry to do
a better job in a free economy than
the Soviet industry could do with

Freedom Provides Guns And Butter
The best weapon that Americans
possess is neither very secret nor
verv new, since "it has been on
open demonstration for everyone
to see during the entire life of our
Republic" 1t is our free economic
system.
This is the opinion of a qualified
witness, Charles Edward Wilson,
former President of General Elec-
trio, wartime Chairman of the
Aircraft Production Board and
former Director of the Office of
Defense Mobilization, who, as
Electric Charlie" Wilson is dis
tinguished from our present De-
fense Secretary Engine Charlie
Wilson.
It is not this "not-so-secret wea-
pom, as exemplified by our air
craft industry, that has made it
possible to develop first rate mill
tary air power without resort to
wartime controls" to prove that
"guns-and-butter philosophy is
sound" and that free society
can endure through an age of peril
without destroying freedom. This,
thinks Mr. Wilson is the acid test.
IF the aircraft industry had
failed. he says, I'VE might today
be already rushing headlorg to-
ward the totalitarianism we alb
hor"
The staggering achievements by
which the industry has succeeded
in giving us adequate air power
and in maintaining qualitative
lead over the all-out efforts of the
Russians, are related by Mr.. Wilson
in the current issue of Planes. Off
cial publication of the Aircraft
Industries Association.
He reminds us that total U. S
production in the 1930's amounted
to few hundred phases a year
that it was multiplied so times in
five years-from 10 planes month
in March 1889 to more than 9,00(

100000 aircraft-twice as many as

the recently merged AFL-CIO's
forthcoming drive for "a four-day

as announced by George Meany,

Big Gains Thus Far
For years, Labor has striven not
only for higher wages and more
fringe benefits; but also for short
er hours. Today's standard forty
hour week is a far cry from the
conditions that prevailed not so
very many years ago, when the
twelve-hOnr day was common prac-
tice. six days a week. Those back
breaking, soul-destroying times are
gone for the u. s.. and ! am sure
that no one regrets their disap-

Ium, with safety, now swing in

AT THE SOUTH POLE

1t was in the winter of 1911-1S12 that
Roald Amundson of Norway and Capt. Robert
f. Scott of Britain made their separate his
toric dashes to the South Pole. Amundsen
reached the pole first, and returned. Scott
suffered the acute disappointment of finding
shat Amundsen had beaten him, and he and
all his men perished on the gruelling return
trip.
Although great progress has been made
in exploration of the Antarctic since that
winter As years ago, no other man has set
foot on the pole. Now, however, detailed
plans are being made for an expedition that
will not only set foot there but will camp at
the pole during the six-month polar night.
There is a poignant contrast between
those expeditions early in the century and
the one now planned as part of the Interna-
tional Geographical ear. Whereas the ex-
plorers of 1911 travelled afoot and by dog
sled, the expedition next year will vault by
plane across the icy barrens. Preceding the
mems arrival, several hundred tons of food,
fuel, housing materials and other equipment
will be flown to the polar site. Prolonged
scientific observations will be made there.
1t will all be done in relative comfort.
elative that is, to the hard conditions of
1911-12, not to our comfortable existence in
a temperate zone. There will be enough
hardship at the pole to prove once again that
dedicated men are willing to bear much to
advance the sum of human knowledge.

WHY HELP FRANCO?

1T is difficult to envisage Spain as full
member of the western community, without
substantial advances in such directions as
increased civil liberty, religious freedom to
exercise the elementary rights of organized
labor"
So Secretary of State Dean Acheson
wrote to the Senate foreign relations COM
mittee on Jan. 19, 1850 In more than six
years since then Spain has not taken single
step in any OF these directions This is made
clear by retailed report in the New York
Times by its veteran correspondent, Herbert
L. Matthews. He adds that there is no reason
to suppose that this record will be altered in
the least while Gen. Francisco Franco remains
in power.
Is there enough stategic value in Spain's
geographical position to justify our aiding
a ruler whose ideals are so repugnant to our
own? This is a question that both Demo-
cratic and Republican administrations have
generally evaded, but it viii have to be an
swered some time.

BABE ZAHARIAS

Babe Didrickson Zaharias will live in his
tory as one of the most remarkable athletes
Of all time. The records do not tell of any
other woman whose athletic achievements
measured up to hers. She had in great mea

tion and fighting heart of true champion
Her versatility in sport has become legend
airy.
But that is not the whole story. Like
another famous Babe, Mrs. Zaharias won ;
special place in the hearts OF the public. Sh'
stood out, not alone because her matches
abilities, but also because of a warm ant
engaging personality.
When the cancer that was to be fata
began dragging her down, Babe Zaharia
fought it with the same qualities that ha'
lifted her to the pinnacle of sport. She di'
not yield to the forces of pain and discourage
ment, but opposed them with all her waninI
strength.
The name of Babe Didriekson Zaharia
will be remembered in the annals of sport
But her name also will have its place in tn
ranks of those who have faced imminen
death with smiling courage. Her exampl

A WELL-DESERVED TRIBUTE


Plans for the observance of Oil Progress
Week-OctOber 14-20-include paying trib-
ute to the oil industry's ambassadors of good
will-the service station operators.
There are some 200, 900 service stations
in this country, of which the great majority
are run by competitive small businessmen.
They are the chief contact between the con-
sumers of oil and the oil industry. Thus, the
station operator is a symbol of the industry
he represents. "Just as we can drive into his
station, say Fill her up,' and be sure of
prompt and efficient service, so can Uncle
Sam say to an oil company i need million
gallons of jet plane fuel or Ship hundred
tanker loads of diesel oil to our defense forces
in Europe'-and be equally sure of prompt
action" And the day-in-and-day-ou press
ure of competition which has brought the
service station to its high level of develop
ment is equally as strong in the $1,000 larg
er businesses within the industry.
From the community standpoint, the SER
vice stations and the men who own and work
in them are a tremendous assets. AS one
local chamber of commerce said, ''We salute
the men from whom visitors get their first
impressions of our town, the first local resi-
dents most visitors meet, and the only resi-
dents many travellers talk to. They send
stream of customers to our restaurants,
stores, hotels and other businesses y
Oil Progress Week is certainly good time
to give these men a hand.

Danny Davis
Gets Big Chance
Thursday, Muy 10

A perfectly conditioned Mime
apolis lightweight, Danny Davis,
gets his big chance after six years
Of frustrated effort Thursday night,
May 10, at the Minneapolis Armory
when he faces Ken Lane, eighth
world ranking lightweight.
Should Danny come through with
an impressive victory he'll get
cracks at other world ranking light
weights and perhaps even a shot
at the title himself.
A former Golden Glove cham
pion, Davis started his money
career back in 1850 with nine vic
tories but from then on the path
to success was covered with OBJ
stacles.
In fact he even defeated Glen
Flanagan for the Minnesota light
weight crown and still was unable
to get enough fights to make the
sport worthwhile.
Later he battled the once mighty
Jackie Graves to a sensational draw
and then retired Fitz Fitzpatrick
with an eight round knockout
victory.
Davis has been employed by D..
w. Oman Company for the past
five years where he works in the
Decreasing department.
He gets up every morning at 4:3O
am. for his five miles Of road
work before heading for work.
From the Oman plant late in the
afternoon he hurries to the Mill
City gym for his daily sparring
drills.
So far this year he has trained
steady but until Matchmaker
Tommy Anderson of the Mill City
boxing club gave him his big chance
the work has been in vain.
