He Kaid the material, known ft "durainold" was developed by his firm, the Hahkelite company, the Clark Aircraft company, HagerMown, Md . and the Bakelite Corp., New York, ffe said a ship of the new ma ferial already had been built and tad puvsed its tests. "The Clark company," he .laid, could go into mass production in a wepk. "We have signed an ogreement wiih the army and navy pledging wcrecv regarding a detailed descrip tion of the process through which the material was developed and the plane built, but its principle hmees on the use of dies in which one complete wet ion of the fuselage or wing can b" cast at once." The material used, he said, con sists of many strips of wood of long grain impregnated with bakelite synthetics. The result was a woter Ilium yet of tremendous strength. The fuselage, he said, is cast in two parts. After tliey are taken from the dies, the parts are glued together and reinforced with spars glued on the inside. He said as many as 10 airplanes a dav could b? built from a single set of dies. A fuselage can be turned out In two hours. "Manufacture of other planes," he wiid. "takes an v where from a month to several months, depending on the slm of the plane. There is no limit to the size of the ship that can be built with the plastic process." He said it eh ninated rivets in wings and fuselage and provides as much as 35 extra miles per hour by perfect streamlining. He said the plane's fuselage shells are so light a bov could lift them and place them on his shoulders. Their total weight." he said. not much over 120 pounds." Oregon Briefs Oregon City.

Jan. 21 ilPi Admin istration leaders began an uphill fight today to override a senate ap propriation sub-committee's decision to support the $725,000,000 deficiency relief appropriation approved by the house, which represented a cut of $150,000,000 in the amount asked by President Roosevelt. - - Behind - the - scenes maneuvering; began as the full committee met to act on the sub-committee's recom mendations. . J.v The sub-committee wrapped its proposals in compromise language designed to prohibit wholesale relief roll reductions during February and March. It opened the way for the president to demand an additional . appropriation in the - event of an "emergency," and required elimina-. tion of "chiselers" from the rolls. Expects Defeat Sub-committee Chairman Alva B. Adams. D., Colo., predicted that the full committee would approve the revised bili "by a narrow vote," but that the committee "probably will get the whey beat out of it on the floor of the senate as the appropria tions committee usually does when it makes an honest effort to econo mize." Under the sub-committee s plan. relief roll reductions during the win ter would be restricted to 5 pec cent of the 3,000,000 rjersons now on re lief. On that basis, dismissals In tne next two months could not exceed 150.000. - : .". The sub-committee's plan would make it unnecessary for congress to face demands for drastic reduction-of relief expenditures, and the resultant firing of thousands of WPA workers, until warm weather.

Invitation to the president to seek additional relief money if an emergency arises, but specifically re quiring that he send a special mes sage to congress justifying the proc lamation ot an emergency. ward removing those not entitled to aid. 3. Restriction to 25 per cent the WPA hourly wage differential paid in different sections of the country to employes doing the same kind of work. 4. Removal of the house amend ment barring relief to aliens and re statement of the present law giving preierence lo veterans, cnizeus anu aliens who have taken out first nat uralization papers in that order. 5. Nullification of a recent presi dential executive order blanketing 37,000 WPA administrative officials under civil service by barring pay ment of money under the current ap propriation to these workers. 6. Inclusion of the Hatch amend ments which would Impose criminal penalties on WPA officials who par ticipate in political elections. 7.
