planes will reach Britain’s middle i
east forces over the "South At-!
lantic ‘ferry in time to meet a
•possible winter thrust by the Nazis
in the southern Black Sea area,
defense officials said**eday
Facilities necessary to operate
the new ferry route announced
this week by President Roosevelt j
will be ready by November or
December, it was said.'
Pan-American Airways, which
operate the service, planned to
file an application with the Civil
Aeronautics' Board today for per-
mission to conduct “a commercial
service" between the United States
and the African west coast by way
of Natal, Brazil, and the south
Pacific.
Meanwhile. President Roosevelt’s
press conference declaration that
his high seas conference with Brit-
ish Prime Minister Winston
Churchill would put more punch
into America's war-aid program
led observers to believe that some
reorganisation of war-aid agencies
is planned. Mr. Roosevelt charac-
terized *s pure invention, however,
reports from congressional sources
that he planned to place Vice Pres-
ident Henry A, Wallace at the
head of a new superagency to co-

Industry Going
Airplanes may win or lose this
war and the most of people think
that planes will win it. American (
industry is getting itself geared to
Wartime production.
New high-speed machines which
do the work of thousands of hands
and thus release ’ trained man-
power for other vital jobs are
winning the battle against time,
greatest single obstacle to Amer-
• tea’s aerial armament program.
Our Authority
According to the Avaition News
Committee of the Aeronautical
Chamber of Commerce, develop-
ment of this machinery, specially
designed to meet specific problems
of aircraft production, played a
major role in the aircraft indus-
try’# feat of building 7,42$ war-
planes, during the first six months ,
Of 1641.
Installation of the new machines
is in full s'wlng in airplane and
engine factories from the Atlantic
’ to the Pacific. As a result, where
workmen once hammered out or
trimmed individual parts by hand,
the new mechanical marvels are
now automatically producing the
parts in whole stacks at a single
operation. »
Creating New Jobs
However, this switt mechaniza-
tion of the aircraft industry is
not threatening to create nuem-
ployment. On the contrary, it'is
actually creating thousands of
new jobs.
■ Aeronautical engineers have in-
formed the Aviation News Com-
mittee that the new machines, in
: addition to speeding up produc-
tion. are releasing skilled crafts-
men (who had been doing the jobs
the machines now accomplish! for
j highly-specialized precision work
—the field in which there is a
definite manpower shortage. Op-
eration of the machines, which are
automatic or semi-automatic, is
taken over by new employes who
> ,\«an be trained for tills work in a
matter of weeks.
Farty Replaced
An example: In an‘engine plant
there is a special tranfer machine
for drilling, countersinking, ream-
ing- and tapping aluminum cylinder
heads which replaces 40 odnhary
machine tools and yet requires
only 24 semi-skilled operators per
t three-shift day. as compared with
106 highly-skilled men required on
the 40 machines replaced.
Mere are some typical exam-
ples new aircraft machine
tools:
Gang drill presses which bore ,
half a dozen holes in airplane and
engine castings at a sinlge pull of
the lever.
Pantagraph routing machines
whtelr cut or burn metal into re- i
quired shapes and dimensions in |

by tracing a needle-pointed in-
strument along the lines of a pa-
