Dixon) HEIDELBERG, Germany—(#— Hitler’s vaunted subterranean factories are no myth if the gi gantic airplane motor plant, one and three-quarter miles long and three-quarters of a mile wide, which I visited is an example. The factory was built into the side of the hilly terrain overlook *ig Neckarelz, avlllage on the Neckar river. Acting on a tip from Col. Hen ry Parkman, Jr., of Boston, Mass., who heads the military government in the Sixth Army Group, I drove 30 miles to the factory with Lt. William Conklin, former New York Times writer and now Sixth Army .Group pub lic relations officer. About half-way up the hillside —perhaps 600 feet above the Nec kar valley — there was a con crete mixer. Directly under it we found the entrance. Here was an underground fac tory of undreamed of size. Sgt. John W. Combs, of Bap tist, Ky.; who with men from the U. S. 5tn Ordnance, guarded the •entrance, showed us a detailed map of the interior. The factory was divided into some 150 units, most of them large machine halls. The plant was evidently one for the manufacture of the Daimler Benz airplane motors. Nothing was lacking—not even pinup girls and gas masks. The long aisles bor numerals, except an occasional “Zirkusstras se” (Circus street) chalked in by some wit. Signs pointed to seven points whence finished products were shipped c.ii narrow gauge cars to the outside. To the left of the en trance was a narrow hall with enormous switches for supplying ■ ■ ■ - -■ current to each of some 15 num bered “stations.” There were generators close for emergency current, but the elec tricity appared to have hen furn ishd by some nearby power plant. The principal halls were about 35 feet hign. Huge lathes and drills and other machinery parts abound ed. Micrometers, gauges and other gadgets filled drawers and tables of halls set aside for precision work. Each department had its stock room with carefully-kept records. Ventilators pumped fresh air into the plant. Lights still were func tioning. Vast stocks of aluminum plates lined the walls. The noise in this underground plant must have been terrific, for even when we spoke there was a reverberation and re-echoing of our words. From the newness of the ma chinery we judged the plant was not old. -V It takes 36 times as many men working in factories today to keep a soldier in the field as it did in Napoleon’s time.

SENATE APPROVES MID-SEA AIRPORT WASHINGTON, April 17— UP) — A $960,000 appropriation for con structino of a mid-ocean floating airdrome was approved by the Senate appropriations committee today. It was included in a recom mended $268,730,838 appropriation to run the State, Justice and Com merce departments in the fiscal year beginning July 1. The idea of building a mid-ocean landing space developed years ago. It was suggested then that a string of them be placed across the At lantic as regular refueling stops for transocean airlines. That conception has been out moded by the development of long range airplanes. Civil Aeronautics Administration officials said the idea now is that the airdrome would serve primarily as a weather reporting station. The total in the bill represents a $12,927,138 increase above the amount passed by the House. Other additions made by the committee to House appropriations for the CAA included $402,000 for transoceanic radio range facili ties to be located at San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Bal boa and Honolulu (a similar facili ty at New York was approved by the House and the Senate com mittee). -V Bishop of Oslo Rescued By Norwegian Patriots STOCKHOLM, April 17. -U4>)— Eivind Berggrav, bishop of Oslo, was rescued from internment in his home last night by 20 Norwe gian patriots who overpowered his guards, the Swedish press reported today.

This speed-up in the war against Japan has been made possible by a general tightening up of plans, including new arrangements for shippin, it was learned today in authoritative quarters. Actually, redeployment already is under way. Some items of equip ment originally destined for the European theater have been sent westward. It is expected the present Unit ed Nations shipping pool will be continued to some extent after VE, with facilities for redeploy ment augmented by shipping taken from Germany.
