The production of B-l'9's was "substantially on schedule" in March. The Mustang P-5I and the P-38 Lightning now are the longest range fighters in the air force. They are rated capable of accompanying bombing missions of either Liberators or Fortresses, but not that of the B-29, whose secret flight radius is much greater. The all-time record in airplane production was announced by Charles E. Wilson, executive vice chairman of the War Production board and chairman of the Aircraft Production board, who said: "As far as we can see, this may be the peak of the war in the number of planes produced.

Virtually all companies making combat planes not only met their schedules but in notable instances exceeded them.

Organized to fight a fourth term for Roosevelt and the New Deal, the party has not pledged support to any presidential candidate, Breedin said, and added that he would be willing to confer with Winchester Smith, regular Democratic party chairman, "at his convenience." In announcing his chairmanship, Breedin charged that Roosevelt "is willing to inflame the white people of the South and barter their Democratic party for negro totes." "Our party is a white man's Announcement Made With Record-Shattering March Output Figures WASHINGTON, Apr. 3.

(P) A disclosure that the United States is developing longer range fighter planes, presumably to protect flights of the huge new B-29 super bomber, came simultaneously today with announcement of record-shattering aircraft production in March. The aircraft industry turned out 9,118 war planes last month, topping 9,000 for the first time, and scored an even more impressive achievement by boosting the total weight of air frames produced by nine per cent to a total of party," he stated.

One asserted that the decision may cost President Roosevelt lh support of the democratic Solid South if he seeks a fourth term. Among other things, the southerners accused the tribunal of usurping the legislative functions of Congress, said the court was falling rapidly "into disrepule," and labeled the ruling an assault upon state's rights. Not in years has a decision touched off such bitter reaction. WHITE SUPREMACY IP Senator John H. Overton, La.) declared "The South at all costs will maintain the rule of white supremacy.

The negro can be kept from the polls by educational qualification tests and such tests are unequivocally guaranteed by the constitution of the United States.

"I have an abiding faith that the negroes aren't going to vole in the white man's democratic primary. Our democratic people in Texas will find some way to work out a democratic primary for white folks. The negroes don't want to vote in an election that's not for them." Representative Milton West Tex. "If the court has a right to say negroes can vote in a party they do not belong to.

I suppose thev have the right to say that the negroes can join white clubs, fraternal organizations and churches." Rep. Lindley Beckworth Tex. "The people of Texas will suitably take care of the situation for Roliovo Misery of Texas." Senator Walter F. George 5' Ga, "I believe that a party primary should be regarded as a voluntary association of a group of voters.

B. Merrilt, Some of us say, "You cant fight a war without having friers go way up." Maybe we are thinking about the last war. How prices got out of hand. How bad times were after the war. Maybe it seems that about all we can do now is to grin and bear it.

Rut that's because we haven't taken a good look at what causes the cost of living to head upward in wartime. When we do, we find out that there's really no reason why we can't keep a firm grip on prices. No reason why we can't hold them down to where they won't hurt too much. We find that fighting the high cost of IrVing is a twofold job. Part of it is our Government's.

Part is ours. If we each pull an oar, we can't help winning. If we don't, we'll pay doubly for the warin higher prices now, in post war trouble. 7 Things can do There are things each of us can do right now to make the fight to hold down priceo successful. Our Government has shown us where our ornt job begins and ends.

That's all wrapped up in the seven points you see "boxed" over there at the right. These seven points go at the cause of rising prices with a double-edged sword. They put our extra money into places where it can't be used to bid up prices of the goods that are scarce. They remind us that from our own selfish point of view it's a good idea to observe our Government's price and ration regulations. They give us a good program to get started on this very day for ourselves and the country at war.

Here's what causes Runaway Prices In war, most of our factories are working full time making weapons. And a whole lot fewer peacetime goods are being made. At the same time, many of us are being paid in wages and salaries more money than ever before. If we disregard price ceilings and try to use this extra money to buy these few goods, bingo! Prices start going up. It's just the way prices go up at an auction'.

But if we follow our Government's 7-point program, it's a sure bet prices won't get out of control. 68,000,000 AMERICANS, with the lielp of their life insurance agents, are already doing one of these seven things. They have also found the peace of mind, the family protection, the feeling of independence that owning life insurance brings. It is in the interest of these 68,000,000 people-as well as the nation as a whole that the Life Insurance Companies of America have joined together to bring you this wartime message to help prevent runaway prices.
