SUBMARINE ANTIDOTE A history making event took plac recently in tho long war against th lubmarine. Official testa were made of the helicopter, which, despite op position of the navy, has been urged by officials of the army and War Shipping administration for anti. submarine patrol. Within a few hours after tho nub. lication of a Merry-Go-Round story on this lubject, a group of officials- rrom Washington, including highly Interested and highly placed officials of the British admiralty. British shiD- ping mission, and the RAF, stood in amazement on the deck of a tanker offshore while a little airplane with a crazy rotary wing on top landed1, and took off from a deck space nor more than twice the size of the clans itself. It was a Sikorsky helicopter, pilot ed by a boyish colonel who remind ed everybody of Charles Lindbergh, in his younger days H. F. Gregory, from Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio,, who knows more about helicopter than anybody else in the air force. Gregory made 24 landings on th tanker during the two days of trials. He operated under all cnnreivahW conditipns when the tanker was rid ing at anchor, when she was run nlng at 15 knots, when she was headed into the wind, and when she was running with the wind. The War Shipping administration. which supplied the tanker, had of fered to remove the mast, to provide a safer landing space. But inven tor Sikorsky scorned that as "too- easy." Accordingly, his plane was set down by Colonel Gregory in the space between the mast and the- deck house, with only a 14-foot clear ance on either side. Far-Seeing 'Eyes.' To the British and American shin- ping experts whose ships are going to the bottom every dav. the siir- niflcance of this feat was inescap able. They firmly believe the heli copter can be used to supplement the escort vessels for the greater protection of merchant ships in con voy. It is too light to carry much strik ing power of its own, except a few rockets, but it can fly out ahead of the convoy, hover over the sea, spot the wolf pack, and report by radio to the escort vessels. This saves movement of the escort vessels, which in present practice have to maneuver constantly around the merchant ships, with heavy con sumption of fuel oil. Moreover, the helicoDter. wlthmii firing a shot, brines alarm tn . prowling submarine and causes the U-boat to dive. Earlier acceptance of the helicoD- ter was prevented by the navy's bu reau or aeronautics, which contends, that the machine is defenseless. against the guns of a submarine. The defenders reply that the plane- can aart about so crazily that it is too evasive to be easily hit Mom. over, helicopters can be built for sia.uuu each, and the loss of a few would not be serious, compared with the loss of escort vessels. In any case, the matter has eono beyond the stage of arsmment The War Shipping administration is determined to have helicopters, and if the navy won't come along, WSA will make a deal with the coast guard to train pilots, and another deal with the war department io place the planes on its ships. ARMY AND COAL MINES John L. Lewis would have cot tht surprise of his life if he could have- had a dictaphone recording of the- conversation of Secretarv of War Stimson and Gen. B. B. Somervell . regarding the use of troops in takine over the coal mines. Lewis had expressed public an- prehension that the army had a olan to seize the coal mines in case of strike. Undoubtedly subordintt army officers did have such a dan- in mind. But when Secretary Stimson sat down with Secretary Ickes, plus General Somervell and other army officers, the army expressed vigor ous opinions to the contrary. Gen eral Somervell, accused bv soma nf wanting the army to take over all civilian activities, made this remark: "The last thing we want Is an l. sue of the army against the people." Secretary Stimson al relief that Secretary IcIcm. as a staunch defender of civil lib erty, naa been selected by the Presi dent to handle the coal rrtcie u. offered Ickes every co-operation but expressed tne hope that he would not have to use troops.
