aviation mechanic in the U. S.
Navy. He is a native of Hunts-
dale, Mo., and attended school in
Montrose, Calif.
Kelty formerly was a tool
manufacturing f o r e m a n over
Dept. 82, pattern shop. As tool-
ing superintendent on second
shift, he reports to A. P. Higgins,
chief tool engineer. Kelty has
these departments reporting to
him on second shift: 14, 24-1,
24-8, 81 and 82.
Kelty's first employment with
Convair was 1936 through 1943
at Vultee field. He came to Con-
vair FW in 1944, and has served
in Tooling since that time. He
was born in Vineland, Minn., and
attended school in Glendale, Calif.
Emergency Plan
Formulated at FW

causes: i. e., tornadoes which are
relatively frequent in the plains
area; sabotage, either clandestine
or by means of force, to either
the airplanes or the plant; sabo-
tage to utilities outside the plant;
air raid by aircraft or guided
missiles; or, in the ultimate, arm-
ed attack or invasion by an
enemy. In such an emergency,
the emergency defense organiza-
tion will take over control of
emergency services.
Fire Chief H. C. Jones, in
charge of preventing and combat-
ing fires at the plant, will also
arrange for a sufficient number
of properly trained firemen to be
on duty at all times to render
first aid and to perform rescue
work.
K. Simmons, chief of Plant
Protection, will be responsible for
all guards, for traffic control, for
evacuation of personnel and en-
forcement of orders of the de-
fense co-ordinator.
Dr. R. B. Miller, of the plant's
medical staff, will be in charge of
all facilities designed to handle
injuries, of operation of all am-
bulances and of co-ordination of
plant personnel needs at city hos-
pitals.
The superintendent of Mainte-
nance, L. E. Whitten, will be
charged with maintaining utili-
ties, such as telephones, water,
electricity and air conditioning, in
order that such service shall suf-
fer as little interruption as pos-
sible. He also will be responsible
for maintaining personnel for
building and service repairs, sani-
tation, salvage and decontamina-
tion.
As work on the plan continues,
an air raid warden will be named
and a plan developed to be put
into action if an air raid should
occur. This will include orderly
evacuation of plant personnel to
other areas.
Transportation for emergency
purposes will be under super-
vision of L. Armstrong, of the
traffic department.I '. }

the hardest things hit. And then
we'd have B-36 components in
Maine and find it difficult or im-
possible to get them to Fort
Worth on schedule."
For that reason, major new
sub-contracts issued are to firms
operating in the midwest and
southwest.
These include Beech Aircraft
Co., Wichita, which will build
lower nacelles, landing gear
doors, rudders and vertical fins;
Spartan Aircraft Co., Tulsa, en-
gine mount extensions, turret
doors and elevators; Texlite
Manufacturing Co., horizontal
stabilizers.
Still doing sub-contract work
which has been under way for a
considerable period of time is
Bell Aircraft Corp., Buffalo,
N. Y., which builds jet pod nacel-
les, and more than a dozen otherfirms with smaller assemblies and
projects.
Convair FW production depart-
ments already are under way
building up a backlog of com-
ponents and parts to use on the
B-36 during the period when
manufacture is transferred from
the FW division to the new sub-
contractors.
In some cases, sub-contractors
will send employees to FW to ob-
tain Convair know-how, such as
on Metlbonding developed by
Convair, and on magnesium anod-
izing. In other cases, Convair
FW may send representatives to
the sub-contractor's plants.
Convair FW, in addition, is al-
ready in the process of making
duplicate sets of manufacturing
tools to be used by the sub-con-
tractors, since Convair will pro-
vide most of such tools the out-
side suppliers need.* Gota/li4 *
