PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1941. (Continued Proos Pitt on) the enemy," he continued and with mention of Russian vic tories,' the audience again ap plauded at length. Maxim Lit vlnoff, the Russian ambassador, sat unsmiling. For the first time since the war began, Churchill declared, the British had been, able to fight the axis forces with equal wea pons In Africa. Hun Feels Force "For the first time," he said, "we have made the Hun feel the sharp edge of the tools with which he had subjugated Eu rope." He noted " that the axis had about 130,000 men In Africa, one third of them German. The Brit ish had set out to destroy this army, he said, adding: "I have every reason to be lieve this aim will be fully, ac complished." Throughout Washington's downtown section, crowds clus tered around business places to hear the broadcast of the speech. Restaurant keepers like wise turned up their radios. Churchill was glad, he went on, to be able to stand before congress and say, shortly after American entry Into the war, that the British were able to prove that, with equal weapons, they could "beat the life out of the savage Huns." Hardly pausing for the ap plause that came from his lis teners, Churchill went on to say that the same kind of medicine had to be given the axis forces wherever they might be encoun tered. Good Tidings There were "glad tidings" from the blue waters of the At lantic, too, he said with a smile. The supply lifeline from the United -States across the ocean to Britain far from being dec! mated by enemy attack was "incomparably stronger" than ever before and was growing even stronger. - He has found In this country ha said, "an Inflexible pur pose" which Indicated to him that this nation had a "well grounded confidence in the final outcome" of the war. The British prime minister standing with hands on hips at the senate rostrum, told the American lawmakers In meas ured tones that while in his country the house of commons by simple vote could turn him out of office at any moment, he wasn't "worrying about It very much." - "As a matter of fact," he said. "I am sure they approve very highly the trip I have made In order to meet the president of the United States and to ar range with him all the mapping of military plans and all those Intimate meetings between high officers of the armed services of both countries that are so In dispensable to the successful conduct of the war." He was pleased, Churchill aid, with the breadth anr1 depth of understanding of what was Involved In the war which he found when he reached the United States. Anyone, he declared, who did "not understand the size and solidarity of the foundation of the United States might have expected to find an excited, self centered attitude." "Afer all," he continued, "the United States has been attacked and set upon by three great, powerful military states." Fortitude Found But, he said, he found a "fort itude, far from being based on complacency" which was "only a mask of the Inflexible purpose and well-grounded faith of the final outcome." The British felt the same way "In their darkest days," said thflr leader. We too," he recalled, "were sure that In the end all would be well." Churchill cautioned, however against underrating the "sever elty of the ordeal" which lay head for both Britain and the United States. "The forces arrayed against us are enormous," he declared. adding that they were ruthless as well. AXIS TO RECEIVE!

(U PJ One of the major war-Imposed proolems 'cur rently testing the Ingenuity of the automobile' Industry ! engi neers Is replacing copper In pas senger car radiators with steel. The OPM already hs served Informal notice that copper must be eliminated, at least partly, from radiators because of the vital need for the strategic ma terial in the nation'i armament program. The automobile Industry uses night to 1 0 per cent of America's copper supply which, Incident ally, the government hopes to boost to approximately 1,800 000 tons within the next year. There ire 40 to 30 pounds of copper In each car. Not So Efficient OPM has asked tlw industry first to experiment wltn a sUel fin radiator which would retain copper or brass In its tubing and tank. Eventually, however car manufacturers probably will be forced to switch to an all-steel tvpe radiator, efficiency of which is said to be 13 to 20 per cent lower at high sneed. Ford already has developed "leel-fln radiator, aci'ordlng to R H. McCarro'l chief of chem iftry and meta'iurgy Thus far he said. It has proved less ef ficient than present types In hlch copper is used as a con ductor of cold air. Steel does not have the non corro've quali ties of copper and conequently, he said steel tvpe radiators would be less durable more like ly to become clogged with rust and Impurities. Tooling Trnubl Feared Alex Taub OPM engineer. has expressed the opi lion that the inferior cooling eff'ciency of steel radiators could be im pioved by use of a pressure rap. more fins per wiuare Inch and different soldering technlaue. Industry sources believe, how ever, that thee changes w.uld require increasing the size and weight ,f present radiators from IB to 30 per cent Tnls. they said. evn may entail complete redesigning of present cart McCarroll believes iiat build ng steel tvee radiatoii would leaulre additional hours In the tool room now bally over durdened with defence work: increased use ol less critical ma I terlals. and more man-hours tor heir production. By retaining copper In only I me tuDli.g and ank of radiators It was estimated that a 33 to SO per cent savins In th use of the scarce msterlal could be realized.
