From the doors of one of the country's biggest factories are being trundled 22-toB machines which cost $350,000 a copy and are more complicated in operation than a naval destroyer. More than 800 engineers are hunched over drafting tables checking specifications for part of the program for 12,000 heavy bombers to bear the insignia of the U.

S. Army Air Corps and of Great Britain's Royal Air Force. Work on 3 Shifts On three shifts, 12,000 meH stream daily through a half-mile of subterranean passageways leading to rows of fabricating-machines in the Boeing Aircraft Company.

m. today in the Babcock Building, 240 W. Front St. Birth of an Idea All the bombers of the leading world powers were relatively short-range machines. Why not build bombers like warships, able to cruise a long distance to complete a mission? So the first of the Boeing four-engine bombers was manufactured in Seattle.

The plane was described by the Air Corps as flying "well in excess" of 300 miles an hour and for distances of at least 3,000 miles, when it was tested in 1935 at the Army's aeronautical laboratory in Dayton, Ohio. In Seattle, it is said now that Boeing bombers fly to altitudes of 35,000 feet and more beyond the view of watchers on the ground. Boeing bombers have been flown to Alaska, Hawaii and South America on tactical excursions and courtesy trips. They hold several world records for combined speed and load-carrying capacity. U.

S. Army Air Corps and British orders call for thousands of the planes. With another long-range bomber, the Consolidated B-24, the Boeing constitutes the backbone of the Air Corps heavy bombardment section.

Wilson was quoted as saying that Dentz must take responsibility for the consequences if his plea were rejected. (The British radio, in a report heard in New York early today, said a British ultimatum to.

General Dentz to surrender Beirut, capital of Lebanon, had expired. There was no immediate confirmation of this report. (Vichy dispatches said the British terms were being studied.) Allied patrols were reputed within sight of Beirut, and a military spokesman said fighting would go on in all sectors until the definite conclusion of an armistice. After a complete mopping up of the Vichy defense positions at Damour, Australian patrols went north along the coastal road to the towers of radio Orient, the Beirut transmitting station six miles below the city, dispatches from Jerusalem said.
