PAGE FOUR MT5DFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFOKP, OREGON. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1938. Y AIR CORPS OF U. S. TO LEAD BY Is Scheduled To Have 2,350 First Line and 700 Other ' Craft New Type Of ' Plane Getting Attention By Grnttun Moflroarty (United Press staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON (UP) The U. S. army air corps, at a coat of hundreds ot millions of dollars, will be the most modern and powerful military striking force In the world by 1940, aeoordlng to the consensus of for eign military observers here. By June 30, 1040. the army U scheduled to have a total of 2.350 first line" fighting and bombing planes. In addition there will be more than 700 other planes of the "second line" that could be advant ageously pressed Into service In an emergency. One of the outstanding featurea ot the "first line" division will be Its Inclusion of at least 83 "flying fortresses" of the tpe which re cently made a record one stop mass flight from Miami, Fla., to Bucnoa Aires 5,260 miles In 27 hours and 50 minutes flying time. These streamlined, all-motal mon oplanes, with a gross weight of more than 20 tons, a wing span of 105 feet and length of 70 feet, have established themsolves aa one of the most Important cogs In the Amerl oan defense machine. Military ob servers believe they are superior to any bombing planes possessed by foreign powers. They are powered by four 1,000-horsepower Wright "Oy elone" engines. , Super-Ship Envisioned The army Is experimenting with a much more powerful bomber than the "flying fortress." known as the "super flying fortress," but has not yet put It Into production. Experi ment have shown that the latter type said to be the most powerful military plane ever constructed needs some changes, but generally has proved satisfactory and will be produced In Increasing numbers next year. The war department recently plac ed an order for 19 additional "fly ing fortresses." of the B-17 type Thirteen of these ships were deliv ered to the army In 1037 and 2 more are In process of production, with deliveries scheduled to begin early In 1939. Delivery of the 15 ad ditional fortresses Just ordered will follow completion of the present order of 25. The entire fleet Is ex pected to be completed early In 1940. However, In view of tholr out standing performance on one Jltoht to and return from Buenos Aires and many recent trHiiacimtinentnl flight, It Is considered likely that President Roosevelt may ask the next session of oongress for funds to Increase the "fortress" fleet above 52.

Aeronautical Information obtained by Hughes on that flight was made available to the war and navy departments and Is expected to prove highly valuable. The aportsman-avlntor's "flying laboratory" was equipped with navl gating, direction-finding nnd other instruments which had never before been thoroughly tested. Also there were certain mechanical featurea of Hughes plane that were completely new and may be incorporated In military bombing plane designs. At present the army is giving spe cial attention to a new type plane known as the "Alrcuda." which ts propelled by two "pusher" engines. The "Alrcuda," although heavily armed with machine guns, la capable of tremendous speed exceeding 300 miles an hour and Is aald to be able to ovortflke any bombing plane now built. A plane similar to the "Alrcuda" Is being thoroughly tested for stratos phere flying. This ship has a aenled cabin and, when perfected, probably will have a speed of nearly 400 miles an hour.

(UP) Helium may one day be used as extensively In the preservation of foods as It now Is used to Inflate heavler-than-alrcraft, according to A. L. Haines, professor of chemistry at the Uni versity of South Dakota. The non-explosive gas now used to lift dirigibles also will keep orange Juice freah for six months or a sponge cake for two months, Haines snld. . The professor explained that the gas "tends to decrease formation of bacterial growth" or In other words keeps food from got Mug mouldy. "Orange Juice," he said, "wltl keep In an atmosphere of helium for six months and retain Its original fresh noss and flavor. In Another test one half a sponge cake was sealed In an atmosphere of helium and was allowed to remain for two months while the other half was left In nor mal atmosphere. At the climax of the experiment the half that was in hel ium was fresh and the other half was spoiled." Hnlnes explained that because ot some of its unusual qualities, helium has a number of Important uses such as filling valves for use In elec tric telegraphy, filling electric light bulbs, deep sea diving and the In flation of balloons and dirigibles.

SWEM'S KODAKS and SUPPLIES 217 EAST MAIN MEDF0RD WESTERN EXPERT ON MINING, WATER Justices Believed To Want Member Well Versed In Irrigation, Mineral Law 2 Westerners Hinted. By Preston Orover WASHINGTON This department gathers that the supreme court would like Mr. Roosevelt to appoint a mem ber who knows western Irrigation and mining law and that calls for a western man. And the western fnen most often mentioned hereabouts for the Job are William Denman of San Fran cisco and Sam O. Bratton of Albu querque, New Mexico, members re spectively of the ninth and tenth circuit courts. Senator Norrls of Nebraska, who himself could easily be called a westerner, already has recommended Felix Frankfurter, Harvard law pro fessor. Lacking on the supreme court bench Just now Is a specialist in Irrigation and mining law as it is known in the west. Besides natives sons, potatoes and cowpunchers, the west has contributed two complete branches of basic law, thoso dealing with water rights and metal mining. Justice Van Devantcr of Wyom ing handled the bulk of such cases when he was on the court but he retired a year ago. Water Not Everywhere Just now a really serious test of the whole basic law of irrigation rights 1 arising in Nebraska, Wyom ing and Colorado. The U. S. bureau of reclamation has intervented in a suit Involving allocation of wnters of the North Platte river among the three states. In its supporting brief the government lays claim to cer tain water which heretofore the states have claimed as subject wholly to tholr own Jurisdiction While the west Is young, It never theless has built up a law experience in mining and Irrigation dating back nearly 100 years. That is older than most corporate law. Moreover, much mining and Irrigation law is based on local practices whose origin could be as mysterious to a resident, of a rain-watered state as the fourth dimension. At present Justice Butler la "farth est west" member of the court, and he Is from Minnesota. That may sound "far west" to a Broadway habitue but to the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast,, states Minnesota Is about as far east as Rhode Island. There's No Hurry Both Justices Bratton and Denman were suggested for the high court at the time of the Black and Reed appointments. At one time Denman was much credited with originating the plan for enlarging the supreme court. Of late, however, friends have Insisted that he proposed only that part having to do with Increasing membership on the district and cir cuit courts. Whatever the truth or purposo of the stories, the later ver sion might conceivably reduce sen ate opposition arising against any one connected with the court-enlargement Idea. New dealers point ff that In any event the president is under no compulsion to hurry an appointment, and may save It until after election time. Grins in Today's News Grist The Dalle.
