I'll- : kiitlli Plane Dwarfing Flying Forts On Way To Air War Fronts WASHINGTON () A super bomber dwarfing the Liberators and the Flying Forts with its giant bomb load and destructive might If on its way to enemy lands. . Some have been delivered to the army although full production and participation in combat is not expected until next year. But be lief was expressed by officials that when the new planes fly into battle, the prediction of World War ace Eddie Rickenbacker will be borne out that "no nation - NEW HOLLYWOOD, WORSTEDTEX and other Fine 8uita All models (30 to $55. DeNeffe's Willamette FLAT WALL PAINT KEMTONE One coat covers any surface SIGWART ELECTRIC CO. could survive the pounding a fleet of these planes can deliver," The mystery plane is known as the B-29, with a greater bomb- carryim capacity, range and fighting power than any existing bomber. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, army air forces commander, has ob served apparently with the new B-29-ln mind that the Liberators and Flying Fortresses are the "last of the small bombers." Charles E. Wilson, WPB exec utive vice chairman, said produc tion of the new bombers, which j are designed for use over Europe, I will not mean tapering off of the big planes now being used. Wil , son said that production of bomb ers, exclusive of tne new super planes, will have increased eight times next April over last April's figures. Delays In bringing the new pianos into combat presumably are due to the time required to attain full-scale production, to train crews and to eliminate the "bugs" which may crop up in the early models. . 1 Try This Old Home-Mixed Cough Relief, Surprising! .

Seems like almost Terybody wanted to give a party, or a testimonial dinner, or stage something special in the way of celebration. I Of course, Ned acted grateful. Bat he told me later, all he really wasted was to ait down with a few old friends, enjoy a glass of beer or two, and talk about old times again. I guess that's how many sol Nflers feel They don't want a lot of fuss made over them, fwlth , formal, celebrating and such. What they really like are the simple pleasures-one of Mom's home-cooked meals, visiting .with friends over a glass of . beer-enjoying things that mean home and comfort and security. From where I sit, our biggest Job, apart from helping win the war, Is making sure those thing are waiting for our men when they come back home for good. , floe of a Series Copyright, 1043, Brewing Industry Foundation New Method Doubles Gasoline Supply LOS ANGELES U.B Wartime secrecy surrounding the Union Oil company's new harbor refin ery installations was lifted here to reveal near-completion of a 100-octane plant which will jump the actual gasoline yield per bar rel of crude oil by 100 per cent. President Reese Taylor took newsmen over the 30 -acre site where more than .1200 construc tion workers are speeding com pletion of the plant and said he expected it to be running full blast by the first of the year. . When It and complementary installations are finished, Taylor said, the average yield of gaso line from each barrel . of crude petroleum will jump from the present rate of 22 per cent by vol ume to 44 per cent a 100 per cent increase in actual gasoline yield per barrel of crude oil proc essed. ... This increase, he emphasized, will swell the amount of gasoline available to civilians as well as lessening severe military short ages. The maze of pipeline scattered about the site is a clue to the method by which the refinery converts crude oil to high octane gasoline, kerosene, stove oil, die sel oil and half a dozen other products. Roufhly, the method is a bat tle to force rearrangement of the crude oil molecules to produce its many by-products. Not an ounce is wasted. : "We're using even the squeal of the pig," said Taylor, "getting aviation gasoline even out of resi duals formerly used only for fuel I oil." ' The weight of steel going into the new structures would build 35,000 automobiles; the electric energy consumed would take care of the needs of 10,000 homes; the water used for cooling and other purposes would supply an Indus trial city of 800,000. - But gasoline production Is no bed of roses. "Our three principal problems are a shortage of crude oil; man power and materials," said Tay lor. - . Unless crude production Is stepped up and it can only be boosted by a price increase Tay lor forecast a grave problem. Manpower shortages are a tow ering difficulty, he said, and add ed his plant was short 300 des perately needed men, Last week, he said, harbor plant lyorkers received letters from a government agency requesting them to "get into an essential industry." "This very minute," he conclud ed, "army and navy flyers are be ing forced to use inferior gaso line in training planes because of the shortage of aviation gas. If that isn't a critical condition, and if that doesn't give oil refining the status of a war industry,. I don't know what would." LIEUT. -COMMANDER GLENN F. DeGRAVE, whose three years as navy recruiter in Oregon resulted In this district's breaking all national records, has left for duty overseas. Above he is shown (at right) greeting Lieut. John F.

Gouge Housewives SACRAMENTO (UB Cali fornia housewives have been pay ing 88 per cent more for fresh vegetables than the farmers have been getting, according to a pre liminary report submitted to the state board of agriculture. William J. Cecil, director of agriculture, predicted that the OPA would place ceilings on what he described as "the wild perish able vegetable market," and add ed: "If there is- any place in which the , housewife has been gouged it's in fresh vegetables." The report, which was made by W. J. Kuhrt, chief of the bu reau of markets, showed that consumers paid prices ranging from 17 .to 325 per cent over pric es received by producers for 25 fresh vegetables. It also showed that of the pur chase price for all 25 vegetables only 57 per cent went to the pro ducer, 30 per cent to the retailer and 12 per cent to the wholesaler, Various fruits and vegetables showed wide variations. Retailers received K7 ner cent of the mar. ! ket price of peppers to the farm ers' 31, while receiving only 5 per cent of the price of melons, with the producer getting 85 per cent.
