S. pro duction of merchant ships will hit four a day by January 1. During June and July, it run about two a day just about equaling submarine sinkings. That situation is what is put ting steam behind the cargo air ship proposal. -ONSERVAT1VE Insiders, on whoso shoulders RESPON SIBILITY rests, are afraid the cargo-carrying airship Idea won't work. Hence their hesitation. Tho same typo of mind was afraid the Monitor wouldn't work, but If the Monitor hadn't been in Hampton Roads when the Merrimac went on the loose U. S. history would doubtless have been changed. V A IRCRAFT engineers disclose to a senate military sub committee that they have de signed a revolutionary type of cargo-carrying plane lifted and propelled by engines, HELIUM GAS and air tunnels. They say it could be used as a sky-roaming CARRIER of a dozen speedy fighting planes. This gives us some idea of how swiftly airplane design is progressing. Words alone can make no man understand the ungentle rain from heaven of bombs and screaming steel. Capt. Eric Knignt, U. S. army author.

Woman Waldert So now Mr. Fitch's school is turning out women welders and sheet metal workers between the ages of 17 and 50 who are going to work for Douglas, Columbia and Boeing at dandy wages but no sweaters. This Is entirely acceptable to (a) Douglus, Colum bia and Hnclng (b) tho women and (e) the army which can thus proselyte tho guys who used to work for (a), so everybody's hap py all around, Lost you begin In tlilnk that all Mr. Fitch does Is train wom enwhich he does not how about a few figures? - Firstly, Mr. Fitch has going classes In machine shop, general sheet metnl, welding and air craft sheet metal. In only the latter two are women being ac cepted for training. In toto, approximately 15 arc now regularly attending classes; seven havo graduated to Colnin- I bla aircraft and two to Douglas. Important 1 That's only nine graduates out i of the institution's BOO plus but firstly, because It's an Innovation Inrnlly, and secondly, because it's the beginning of a trend. It's Im portant to Mr. Fitch, Klamath Falls and tho nation. Men still constitute the bulk of the training school's enroll ment, however. On tho average, Director Fitch finds some 10 In his aircraft sheet motnl class, 21 in his machine shop, 20 In gen eral sheet metal, and 72 In his welding division when he looks at hit figures. But, and we'll insert a plug, that doesn't mean the classes are full. Continual turnover as stu dent graduate or leave gives new enrollees a chance without much, or any. wait. And Mr Fitch is constantly on the peck for new talent. He says you can apply at tho United States Em ployment service office. That screaming we hear is the adver tising department. Grids Sent Out That tho Immediate country side is producing for Industry can be discerned by skipping over the following statistics of graduates sent out to war Jobs since.

He memliur, Inn, folks, that virtual ly all of them are putting In full or better stretches on their reg ular Jobs and going to school In their own time. And they must keep at It for up to 300 hours, or about 10 weeks before Industry will laku 'em In as experienced workers. Industry also requires that they furnish their own tools and cloth j Ing and somebody else -you p know who says they must In'-1 long to a union. Which besides being nice business for the un ion Is also another story. No Tuition As for tuition fur luiiinlnH thero Isn't any. The cost of the whole caboodle Is borne by you and me through Ihu U.

Well, fir.it off, Mr. Fitch says, thero was an Item for some $57,000 spent In equlplng sev eral rooms In the Imsetneiil of the high school gym. This liui been swelled by further pur chases, say In the amount of $10,000. since the schnul was first established. Monthly Upko.p Then there're such requisites as monthly upkeep In tho way of Instructor's salaries, raw ma terials, power, new tools, etc. That breaks down like this: Aircraft sheet mutal . $ 300 General sheet metal 350 ; Machine shop 1200 : Welding 2500 The total $1350 each month, Add to that $200 spent In the single month's existence of a carpentry class BNC (Before Newell, Calif.) and an estimated ACRES OF FREE PARKING! v Continuous From Noon ROAR OF THE PRESS" wiih Wallace Ford J.an Park.r srnsi "JUNIOR O MEN SUNDAY & MONDAY ONLY!
