Proposal Outline
Is Disclosed
Piecemeal disclosures provide
this outline of the proposals:
Air forces orders for thous
ands of additional army and nary
planes in the- next two years.
(Each service has about 2,000
first line erafnow). Undisclosed
numbers would be used for train
ing, others held fat reserve. Many
would be used to equip the Na
tional Guard.
i Under plans already announced,-
the civil aeronautics author
ity and the national youth admin
istration are to assist in schooling
upwards of "100,000. pilots and
125,100 mechanics as a military
"backlog.
New air bases are contempla
'. ted. . '.
A key objective is expansion of
tTSe American aircraft industry's
i capacity, through commercial and
export as well as military orders,
! to keep pace with developments
i abroad. Manufacturers consulted
by the war department obtained
the impression there would be no
: competition from government
plants.

To Set Sails
Civil War Blockade Craft
to Sail Ocean Again
After 50 Year
By ROBERT BRUSKIN.
ANNAPOLIS. Md., Dee. U-UPh
Adventure on the Spanish main
beckoned today to the historic
schooner Australia, a British
blockade runner captured by the
United States In the Cml war and
legendarily a veteran of the War
of 1812.
For the first time in more than
half a century the 7-foot vessel
will leave Chesapeake bay where
her glamorous past was buried
under mundane cargoes of toma
toes, oysters and wheat.
The two-masted schooner, pow
ered onlv by sail. Is owned by Jack
Diamond, 24, and Jack Adler. zS.
of Philadelphia. With Captain
Carl Petersen, of Greenwich, NJ,
as master, she will sail early in
January for ports seldom seen by
tourists.
To Pick up Cargoes
Diamond, who advertised "ad
venture for sale" to a share-ex
pense crew, said he expected to
obtain cargoes in the West Indies.
Earliest history of the center-
board schooner is shrouded in the
mists of bygone eras. Her official
registration number is 25 the
lowest of numbers now ranging
close to 230,000. Where and when
she was buUt is unknown.
She was already old when sold
as a Union prize of war after be
ing captured trying to run the
blockade to a Confederate port in
1863. Records of the sale in the
US marshal's office at George
town, District of Columbia, listed
the vessel, then known as the
"Alma," as "very old."
Hall Teak, Mahogany
Smithsonian institute officials
said the schooner may have been
built in India or Australia, her
hull of teak: and mahogany.
Capt. Charles H. Batchelor,
eastern shore waterman who
owned the schooner for five years
said his grandfather told of the
ship being captured from the
British as she carried powder to
the fleet which bombarded Fort
McHenry in 18184 during a futile
attempt to capture Baltimore
when Francis Scott Key wrote
'The Star Spangled Banner."

New Map-Drawing Machine Developed
By Geographic Magazine to Keep up
With World's Changing Boundaries
RICHMOND. Va., Dec 26. (AP)-The National Geo-
raphic Society announced today that it had been forced to de
velop a new map-making machine to keep pace with the chan
ges being made in national boundaries by Hitler Mussolini
and the Japanese armies in China.
"Things are getting to the point where our maps are al;
, , smost obsolete a few months after
we print them," a representative
of the society said. He demonstra
ted the work of the machine to
early arrivals for the meeting of
the American association for the
advancement of science which
opens here tomorrow.
It Is a camera which photo
graphs with great precision the
names of cities, towns, rivers,
states, counties, and geographical
boundaries so that when a mas
ter map is being prepared for re
production several experts can
work on It at once to locate them
speedily and accurately.
The machine Is now being used
to prepare a new map of Europe
and Africa, which will be com
pleted as soon as the European
governments decide what land be
longs to which.
"We are not even trying to keep
up with changes in Spain," John
Long, one of the society's repre
sentatives, said, "because It we
had started a map of the two dis
puted areas last week we would
have had to change it today."

some better types of cameras, us
