Huge Hangars Used To House Giant Aircraft I 1 As the size of American aircraft has increased, the hangar space to handle these huge birds has cor •espondingly grown. So it is that the Douglas Aircraft Corporation, one of the leaders in large plane building, has recently finished what i it considers the world's largest air plane hangar. This giant hangar which meas ures 300 by 388 feet is used to put he finishing touches on transport planes that will shortly pierce An lean mists, Chinese rains and American rainbows. Its arched roof stretches from a point 40 fpet all iround to a ridge 93 feet in the lir. The giant doorway of the han tar, with telescopic doors, meas ures 350 feet wide and 35 feet high. Omple clearance is provided for he gigantic "DC3's,” largest of the rasports yet designed, which ipread 95 feet from red to green iring-lights. Within two years, even .hi* bird will be dwarfed by the nammoth overland transport of [40-foot wing-spread now being milt under orders of a pool of five najor airlines. This latter craft is 0 feet wider and five feet longer, 15 feet, than the present China Clippers. This steel and concrete hangar is technically known as the three linge arch type, commonly em ployed in railroad sheds. Its step ped skylights provide sunlight so ong as it is shining. During the sinter, resistance coils embedded n the floor warm the hangar. The new building is another in a string of plant-buildings already ordering the northside of Clover leld, Santa Monica, Calif., mark ng the latest step In the expan sion of the Douglas company. Shops on the west or opposite end ire also being completed to give a cross floor space of upwards of 104,000 square feet.

Now Eudora Ramsay Richardson, author and lecturer, has “had the ast say” in her latest book, "The Influence of Men—Incurable,” pub ished by Bobbs-Merrill. “Man as an individual is a very ovable creature,” she says. "But i nan in the group—in politics, in j msiness, in organizations of all ; ;orts—dominant, astertive, egotis ,lcal, illogical, has exerted an ln luence that would have wrecked ivilization had women of other lays not been able to deal with lim swiftly, subtly, effectively." She attributes to male influence nost of the world's evils, such as iepressions and wars, although she ;oncede6 that “only a few men vere responsible for all o< the ragedy.” Mrs. Richardson denies that “men have always been the pro lucers, the provider?, the oaks for tinging parasites.” "Anthropologist? are agreed that vomen were the first agriculturist ind invented the first farm lmple nents; that they were the first carpenters; and that women bo tan all the arts and skills that iow make up modern industry,' insists Mrs. Richardson. "The plain, mvamlshed truth is tliat some roman originated every trade, oc ■upation, or profession at which nen are working today.” She says the trouble all started rhen men took over world affairs. Good Pictures Can Be Bought Much Cheaper By MARY DAVIS GILLIES Prepared by McCall's Magazine for The Cleveland Star. And now we’re tired of the cheap print of "Hope" or "The End of the Road”—jtist as we became dissatisfied with the colored en largement of grandfather and, be fore that, the calendar picture. Sofne of us stopped having any pictures, because we wanted ori ginals and they cost too much. Now we can have what we want —real original etchings, woodcuts and lithographs by leading artists like Rockwell Kent, Miguel Covar rubias and Wanda Gag. And at the price of a book—only »2.75. Do you like your art old-fash ioned? Or do you prefer the mod ern school, the realistic or the ab stract? Or perhaps you are one of those rare souls v:ho thinks that only surrealism la smart. What cver your taste, there is at least one picture to pleRse it. There are pictures for every room —scenes for the living room or pictures of cats, flowers and hors es which express the owner's hob by. For the boy's room, there are boat pictures, "Wild Horses," by Frank Mechau, Jr., "Oil Country,” by Louis Lozowlck, or Benton Spruance’s football lithograph, "A Short Gain.” Girls will like Raph ael Sayers’ "Dancers Resting.” While "Run-aways,” by Nura is charming for the children's room. Children will gain most, perhaps, from this new home picture de velopment. They can gain a knowl edge and appreciation of American art by living with it which they can never get from school or mu seum. Of many origins and from every part of the country, each ar tist bring* a very definite contrib ution to art understanding. The average house does not have to limit itself to one or two pic tures—they are so cheap that they may be changed fi’bm time to time. They are so interesting they need only simple frames. “Lincoln Letter” About Rome Said To Be A Fake ROME, Oct. 21. — A much-dis puted letter In which Abraham Lincoln supposedly envisaged Rome as the eagltal of "The United States of Europe" was labeled a fake yesterday. In the letter, purported to have been written in 1853 to a lieuten ant of Giuseppe Mazzlnl Italian liberator, Lincoln was supposed to have approved Italian territorial expansion. Henry Purst, a writer of New York, told a national convention of experts on Americana the letter was not authentic. Mr. Purst substantiated the op inion of Prof. Matteo Bertoll of the University of Turin, who de clared the letter was spurious for a variety of reasons. They agreed the florid, rambling style of the message was incom patible with Lincoln’s terse mat ter-of-fact manner. Their most damaging evidence was the letter’s reference to "Vene zia Giulia." a province which did not come into existence until 1860, seven years after the date of the message. They pointed out also that the original has been persistently withheld from scholars. Mr. Purst was warmly applaud ed when he told the assemblage he wished “to lay the ghost of this old fraud once and for all.” The letter, dated from Spring field. HI., before Lincoln became President was published first by the Historical Society of the Ital ian Renaissance in 1921 with the consent of the Italian Govern ment. Tire Production Is Moving Upward AKRON, Ohio.—Tire production in 1936 is estimated to reach a to tal of 82,000,000 units, the largest output since 1930, according, to P. W. Iitchljeld, president of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. con sumption of crude rubber this year, he predicted, would probably be greater than in any previous year, even that of 1939. "Approximately 29.000 000 tires will be purchased for motor vehi cles already In operation In this country." Mr. Litchfield stated, “while probably 32.000.000 units will be needed as original equipment by automobile and farm-imple ment manufacturers. The total vo lume of export business is estimat ed at 1,300,000 units. In addition to those manufactured a'oroad by American companies with foreign plants. An important factor leading to this record consumption Is the in creasing amount of freight moved by auto truck and the resulting demand for pneumatic truck tlree.

Economic Scarcity Theory Not Necessarily Constant CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—The theory , of the "economics of scarcity” up- ; on which crop reduction programs are built is being attacked here with statistics. Big crops don’t result in low ■ prices nor do small crops insure ; high ones, at least not wheat, corn, j and oats crops, declaress Hsomer j B. Orommon, Illinois, farmer, who : has presented figures covering 26 years of prices for these grains In the United States in an attempt to prove his claim. His analysis is be- ; ing given out by the Transporta tion Association of America, of j whose committee on transportation and marketing he is chairman. Thus, while both political par ties are offering solutions for farm surplus problems, an effort is being made here to disprove the economic assumptions which un derlie all crop-limitation plans. Not Such a Simple Law The fact of' the matter Is, ac cording to statisticians here, that the law of supply and demand Is not so simple as the layman sup poses. Its effects can be modified or even nullified by other factors if they happen to come Into play at the same time. But to what ex tent these other factors Influence crop prices Is debatable. Mr. Grommon’s figures appear to show that when grain is plentiful It brings big prices, and when scarce, small ones, quite in con tradiction to the economic law. It is not difficult to find a chal lenge to Mr. Grommon’s conten tion. The American Farm Bureau Federation, a leading organisation of farmers long devoted to crop control as a means of farm relief, put forward one In Its current news letter. It questions the re liability of some of Mr. Grom mon’s comparative figures, and ar gues that factors other than the mere size of the crop have affect ed prices. Dominican Soldier Diet SANTIAGO, Cuba, Oct. 18. — Gen. Manuel Perez, formerly of the Dominican army, died here on Saturday.

NEW YORK, Oct, 31 — Coroer I stone laying ceremonies for Wil liamsburg Houses, largest Of 50 low-rent federal housing projects now under construction throughout the United States, were held In Brooklyn, when public officials cel ebrated the passing of 35 acres of alums and the beginning of multi family apartments corresponding to the bulk of the Wool worth building.

President’s Campaign Tactics Labeled ‘Too Slick’ by G.O. P BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT WASHINGTON — Speech** of " President Roosevelt in the campaign may not be changing any vote*, but tha rank and file of the Democratic party is mighty happy about them. After the Syracuse speech, de nouncing Communism, the Dem ocratic buck privates, corporals, and captains ran around patting one another on the back and say ing Roosevelt had made the gosh darndest political speech of all time. They weren’t so sure what the reaction would be to the presi dent's repudiation of Communist supporters, but they assured themselves that, with Roosevelt's speech-making ability on their side, it wouldn’t be necessary to count the ballots. To offset the effect of Roose velt’s campaign, the Republicans —who scoffed at Democratic "over-confidence" — are depend ing on propaganda Intended to convince the voting public that the president as a candidate is a political slicker. They point to what they describe as "slippery scoops.” • • • fUST before the Republican " convention was to come out with a strong civil service plank, the president ordered thousands of additional postmasters under civil service. Anticipating that Republicans would concentrate their cam paign attack on high taxes and national debt, the president sum moned Senator Pat Harrison from his Mississippi campaign to assure the nation that there would be no need of new taxee at the next session. After Governor Landon had been billed for a speech m Cnsu tauqua, N. Y., Roosevelt took tba •ama platform aoma daya in ad vance to make a fighting tddram for world peace. Whan rather Coughlin was giving his show In Cleveland, Rooaavalt suddenly showed up there and draw • large part of the audience to his tent The White House Issued what many consider an Ill-advised blast at Hearst Just before that publisher was to launch a new journalistic "Red" attack on the administration. • e e 'T'HK Republicans blame soma 1 Democratic spies In camp for letting Roosevelt know that Landon’s Des Moines speech was to take up crop insurance. Aiw way, the president said his piece on the same subject In time to beat Landon to It A1 Smith’s avowed bittern gas was sharpened not a little1 when he hired radio time for his speech and found subsequently that Roosevelt would have the same time on another hookup. Finally, there was Secretary Morgenthau’s effort to make It appear that he had blocked a Russian raid against the *n*w Franco - British - American • cur rency stabilisation agreement— which many othara beside* Re publican* tend to regard, eg ab surd and as an attempt to com bat ths “Red" charges. Republican campaign 'skate gists hope these things may con vince the voters that Roosevelt Is just s bit too slick, as «xn pared with that “honest, simple exponent of old - fashioned Americanism, Alf Landon.” Camps Creek News Of Past Week-End (Special to The Star.)
