Those warplanes are today's equipment lor the armed forces of the United States and England. Their lineal descendants will be tomorrow's freight and pas senger transports. Plan For Ph;i The manufacturers of big air craft, who in the past few months have been faced with expansion programs on an al most fantastic scale, already are planning . lor post emergency business. They have " their problems. It is hard to get steady supplies of some unfabricated materials. It is hard to train workmen fast enough. It is hard, in a manner of speaking, to get bolts and nuts. But In whipping those prob lems the manufacturers believe they are laying the groundwork for a post-emergency return to normal and the arrival 01 a commercial "air age." The European war, they say, is serving to speed the coming of the air age. Salesmen of southern Califor nia airplane makers are roam ing South America, but they aren't selling much. They are keeping alive their trademarks against the day when their product can be delivered in volume for peaceful pursuits. Few Go South A trickle of United States aircraft la finding its way Latin America, but the bulk of the output of our factories is going to the armed services of the United States and of Great Britain. The manufacturers have clung to their commercial research programs in spite of the de mands of rearmament. They are hiring new workmen by the tens of thousands, and when the emergency is over they want to keep a large proportion of their workers on the pay roll by expanding the non-military air craft market. They believe it can be done. Meanwhile, apart from the necessity of throwing up great new factory structures and hir ing men by the wholesale to fill them, the concentration on aircraft has created shortages elsewhere. It is difficult to get a com petent typewriter repair job. Typewriter mechanics are fil tering into aircraft manufacture and its related industries. And even so, the supply of aircraft workers is short. Aluminum Short A shortage of aluminum al loys, mentioned recently by Senator Mead of New York, continues, but it is to be re lieved by new government-built plants. Some of the big aircraft man ufacturers laid up big stores of aluminum months ago. Aircraft factories must have 4 rubber de-icers, pumps, small 1 : . i w.i4. .- - castings, nuia aiiiu uuita hi hw airplanes. Shortages in.' any category can stop production. A sample: A strike at the plant of the Harvill die casting plant. in the Los Angeles area, came within a hair of tying up the output of several major airplane factories. When air rearmament got Into full stride, a bonanza struck the small-parts plants, many of them only family-owned ma chine shops. In many Instances they said they would deliver, with no idea whether they could or not. A famine In parts - almost occurred. Then the aircraft makers acted. Into . the. parts manufacturing areas New Eng land, Detroit, Akron, Dayton, Brooklyn, South Bend, Cincin nati, Philadelphia and Cleve landemissaries went to help the small manufacturer! boost their output. Today small parts are flowing In a steady stream into southern California. "Shadow-factories," with thousands of sub-contracts, have been established right in this area. Los Angeles alone has 171 of them. They could keep output up even If, by a stretch of the imagination, one, or six, or a dozen plants were bombed. PARACHUTE DUTY Motion picture theatre at tendance reached record levels over July 4, the department of commerce reported. U. S. FURNISHES E Washington, "July 24 VP) Mora than twice the needed number of men and six times the number of officers required to fill the army's four author ized parachute battalions have volunteered for parachute troop duty, the war department an nounced today. The battalions in service and in process of formation at Fort Benning, Georgia, will require 1,900 Jumpers, officers and men, the army said, but 3,673 men have volunteered for duty. Also a steady stream of inquiries from soldiers and civilians In all walks of life are being received at the provisional parachute group headquarters at Fort Benning. Powder House Explode Seville. Spain, July 24. VP) An entire powder warehouse less than four miles from here exploded with terrific force to day. The number of casualties was not immediately known. Fire swept the warehouse after the blast, which shattered win dows throughout the city. Dm Mall Tribune want ads. Washington. July 24. Sumner Welles, acting secretary of state, disclosed today that, under a special arrangement, a French tanker had landed 2,000 tons of American gasoline at Dakar, French West Africa.
