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

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

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."

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. ' -
