(International Items Made At Dayton Rubber Company Had Big Part In Invasion The tremendous scope of prepa rations for the invasion of Europe so far as the Army Air Forces are concerned was revealed yesterday by the Material Command from Headquarters of its Southeastern Procurement District in Atlanta. Colonel R. W. Propst, District Supervisor, said that the greatest engineering and production effort in history had gone into the job of providing the Army Air Forces with the staggering total of more than 450,000 separate items includ ing planes and equipment. "The full storv cannot vet be told." Col Propst said, "because many of the developments of the Material Com mand are still of a highly secret nature. But American Barents who have sons in the thick of the fighting in France and elsewhere can be assured that the equipment furnished them erives them the best possible chance for victory and sur vival. ' Brig. Gen. Franklin O. Carroll commanding the Material Com mand said: "Although enormous stocks of material are alreadv in combat areas, the Material Com mand is not easing up in any de gree on its vast job of engineering, procurement, production and in spection affecting the thousands of war plants throughout the nation. This war is far from won," Gen. Carrol said. "We will still need thousands of additional planes, thousands of new items and eauio- ment and to get them we will require the help of every person engaged in war production. This is most decidedly not the time for any relaxation of effort. In commenting on the initial phases of the invasion of Western Europe, Gen. Carroll pointed out that the AAF has the upper hand in every theater of war because aircrait manumacturers hand in hand with Material Command ex perts, had gone all out to create the biggest, most important busi ness in the world. Everv dav the Material Command spends S7K.onn.- 000 or about 30c of every war dollar on AAF material for victory. Production is only part of the story, Col. Propst pointed out. Fir,st there were momentous de cisions to be made on desism. de velopment and standardization. And when a fighter or a bomber did become standard, there were constant modifications to keep up with combat conditions or to fit ships for specific missions. The Dayton Rubber Manufae turing Co., Waynesville, has for the past two years contributed to ward preparation for the invasion, in the manufacture of Oxygen breathing tube, and 5 and 7-man me raits lor the material com mand. These items are particu larly adapted to waging effective war against our enemy. The AAF personnel attached to the Inspec tion Section, of the Material rvm. mand, stationed at the Waynesville plant are supervised by C. C. Fur tado, resident Inspector in charge, working under AAF Material fVim. mand, Raleigh office. F. C. Rogers, the newlv an. pointed plant manager of Dayton Rubber Mannfactnrinar rVimnAnv said; "The plant was originally es tablished in thia locality to serve primarily the textile industry with loom supplies. At the off-set of the war it was found that the plant was ideally located for the develop ment and manufacture of advance articles for use in the armed forc es. Since that time the plant has expanded approximately 200 per cent and many of its products have been of a highly secretive nature." The engineering division of the Material Command maintains great laboratories at Wright Field for constant testing and experimenta tion on ships, propellors .airframes, engines, safety equipment, radio and the thousands of other items required by the greatest air power in the world. The districts and areas covering the country from coast-to-coast, the command over sees production and inspection to keep material at the required AAF standards. The specific jobs done by the Material Command on pre-invas-ion planes and equipment, as well as the material now being produced for the drive on Berlin itself, would take volumes to describe, Colonel Propst said, because every single plane and piece of equipment from bombers to oxygen masks used by the AAF was either originated or developed in some way by com mand engineers. For the special jobs of invasion and the drive on Berlin, the Ma terial Command has made weapons to fit. First reports said para troopers played a vital role in the initial stages of the big push. No operation involving use of para troopers can possibly be successful unless at the very beginning, "They get their firstest with the most est." The job of transporting the paratroopers to the scene of action is most frequently assigned to Douglas C-53's and C-47's. The men wore chutes considered the most efficient in the world, with harnesses designed and tested at Material Command laboratories. Their nylon canopies were perfect ed after long and dangerous trials by command chute experts. New types of bombs are being dropped. The new "cluster" bomb consists of a number of fragmen tation bombs strapped together to form a single unit which can be carried in any service bomb rack. When it is released, an arming wire automatically frees the bands, Don't Neglect Tbemt Nature dcaifned the kidneys to do a marveloua job.

SOUTHERN BELL IPatTfrt 'Plotted BY THE WAR Financially the telephone company has profited by the war. The rate of return on the amount of money invested in telephone plant in North Carolina is now the lowest in the last twenty-two years and is still declining. While the prices of practically everything, including the costs of furnishing telephone serv ice, have gone up, telephone rates have not in creased on the contrary long distance telephone rates have been reduced, resulting in large savings to telephone users in North Carolina during the past three years. The schedule of pay of telephone workm is the highest it has ever been. At the same time taxes have increased tremendously. Since our entry into the war in December, 1941, the tele phone company has paid out more than $6 f )0.. 000 for federal, state, county and municipal taxes in North Carolina. Though the telephone company is doing the largest volume of business in its history it is making less than 4J on its investment in North Carolina. E. H.
