Auto Industry Hits Stride in Defense Output By DAVID J. WILKIE Herald-Review Special News Service Detroit, Mich. The motorcar industry suddenly has stopped talking about what it is going to do for national defense. has reached the point where it can talk about results. Just as it requires nearly a year of planning, engineering study, supply coordination and the like to get set to roll out five million or more automobiles in one year, so too has it required months of planning to prepare for the industrywide job of turning out machinery of war on a volume basis.

Magic Results But something like magic results from all these preparations. Not very many weeks ago machinists were spending six hours and 40 minutes counter-boring 280 holes in the crankcase. or main framework, of one of the huge aircraft en gines. Today that part of the job is done in 65 minutes. In another instance, seven machines worked an hour drilling 14 holes into each cylinder of an aviation engine.

Today three machines do the job in three minutes. Workers used to spend 30 minutes machining each exhaust valve on aircraft motors. Today. 36 seconds per valve is the schedule. Hundreds of like time-saving jobs are done with newly-designed machine tools each step contributes to putting defense on a mass production basis.

Tank Plant In Corn Field In some cases the period has been a little longer than usually is the rule in "finalizing" a new automobile model. But there have been exceptions even in" the handling of unfamiliar assignments. Outstanding is Chrysler corporation's tank plant, now nearing completion on what was a corn field a little more than seven months ago. Soon it will be turning out from five to a dozen 28-ton mobile fortresses a day. There is also the Ford aviation engine factory, recently started and now expanded to triple its potential output: and the bomber plane parts factory near Ypsilanti, work on which is being speeded for production activity! General Motors stepped up thej output of Allison aviation engines considerably faster than had been; expected.

Ready for Volume Production I Today the "make-ready" phase of the automobile industry's defense effort is in the past and as one leading car manufacturer explained recently the motorcar factories are ready to grind out defense machinery in "real" volume. Once tanks, bomber plane parts and completed planes, aviation engines and other of the "heavier" vehicles of defense begin to flow freely from newly created assembly lines, the motor-car industry's chiefs say. the stream of goods will be almost staggering in magnitude. A certain amount of rivalry that augurs well for the total output of aviation engines and planes has developed between the automobile and the aircraft industries. The subject is approached delicately by the car makers, of course, but the rivalry exists.

Manpower is Problem "We don't intend to tell the aviation people how to handle their own business." said one leading auto-i motive engineer who has devoted; the past months to aircraft de-! velopment. "We can learn much from the airplane manufacturers, but don'l forget that mass production is our! baby and perhaps we can teach them something, too." And while the tremendous ei-, forts have been going forward to! make military tanks, bomberj planes, aviation engines and such implements in overwhelming vol- HOUSEHOLD FINANCE 469 Citizens 4th Floor, 250 N.

Boyce, who brought the idea of Scouting to the United States from England and was a leader in founding the movement in 1910. The monument stands on a granite base in the Ottawa Avenue cemetery, close by the grave of the wealthy business man and philanthropist, who died 12 years ago.

Scouts Contribute Voluntary contributions from Scouts and Scouters throughout the country made the memorial possible. Thousands of Boy Scouts and their leaders came to Ottawa for the ceremonies. The shrine was erected by a committee of the National Boy Scout council headed by Federal Judge William J. Campbell of Chicago, who presided at the dedication. Dr.

James E. West, chief Scout executive, delivered the address. He said that the Boy Scouts, believing in living monuments, never before had participated in the dedication of a memorial. The service of Boyce to the movement, however, made an exception right and necessary, he added. Founded Scouting Here Boyce learned about Scouting in a London fog.

He was lost when an English lad approached and helped him find his way The boy told him that he was a Scout, and that guiding him was his good turn for the day. Boyce investigated the organization, became enthusiastic about its goals, and as soon as he returned to the United States he set about organizing an American counterpart. Boyce lived most of his life in Chicago and Ottawa.
