Nips Challenging
U. S. Rule of Air
New York, Jan. 26 ilB Rear
Admiral Dewitt C. Ramsey, chief
of the bureau of aeronautics, said
last night the U. S. navy was pre
pared to meet a sharpening Japa
nese challenge of American air
superiority with at least six new
models of aircraft.
Ramsey said the Japanese had
flown two vostly improved,
speedy planes against our aerial
forces recently, and the enemy
was expected to have jet propelled
planes in the air soon.
The new Japanese planes, Ram
sey said, are fighters speed-rated
at more than 400 miles an hour
and "probably carrying ultra
modern equipment." He said the
Japanese were known to have had
access to German research in jet
propulsion, and could be expected
to use this type of craft against
us.
New Planes Due
In contrast, Ramsey said, the
United States has six new model
planes in construction, all of
them of "greatly increased per
formance," and one of them jet
propelled. Ramsey praised the
new navy aircraft but warned
that the Japanese were seriously
challenging "our superiority in
aircraft design.
Ramsey spoke at a New York
state American Legion dinner
honoring National Commander
Edward N. Scheiberling.
State Advertising
Plans Get Study
Arden X. Pannborn of Portland
chairman of the board of gover
nors of the Oregon Advertising
leaeratlon, recently made a sur
vey of the state for post-war ad
vertising and publicity, to attract
tourist and business to Oregon,
and in his report said that Bend
and Deschutes county were al
ready doing some very sound
thinking along these lines.
Panghorn, in the report sub
mitted following .his survey men
tioned that New York newspapers
hold much California tourist ad
vertising at present, in anticipa
tion of post-war business. Pang
born added:
- "We cannot wait until the war
is over to start doing something,
with our neighbor states way out
in front."
Deschutes county has made
plans for post-war tourist pub
licity and Bend is raising a $20,000
post war industrial fund.
