Photographic Plane Crashes One Killed COLORADO SPRINGS' Colo March 6 Second Lt Brooks Jr 27 of San Antonio Tex was killed when a converted 38 plane used as a photographic sliip crashed and burned this morning a short distance northeast of the Army base the Peterson field public relations office an nounced this afternoon Lieutenant Brooks is survived by his wife Mrs Adele Brooks who resides in Colorado Springs and his parents Mr and Mrs James Brooks (105 Primera Drive) San Antonio Tex The flier took his advanced training at Lake Charles la and was assigned to the air base here on Nov 10 1942 to tankers in whatever numbers needed But its over all picture in the number of hulls contracted for and delivered will look something like this: iscal 1039 1949 1941 1942 July I to Dec 31 Totals iscal Year Jan 1 to June 30 43 19 14 1945 Ships Con tracted or T90 692 206 1 688 There you have a total of 2242 ships already scheduled for deliv ery up toJune 30 1945 but on top of that it is proposed to let con tracts for an additional 2161 ships which would give the Mer chant Marine a grand total of 4403 ships by mid 1945 less sinkings or other losses Ana chide some 1900 built for Army United Nations The total cost will run over $11 billion If the war should end suddenly all contracts could be canceled overnight By PETER EDSON (News Record Washington Correspondent) is no limit to the need for ships in a total global says Rear Admiral Emory Land chairman of the Maritime Commis siont and that explains why plans have been made to continue the huge American shipbuilding pro gram well into 1944 and 1945 with some interesting changes in the existing schedule Prize project of the new pro gram will be the new bigger fast er better Liberty ship which it is proposed to call the Victory ship This Victory ship is still in the de sign stage and no keels have been laid A number of experimental hulls are being run through the model testing basin here in Washington to determine the perfect shape and the first full size model of a new Lentz type en gine is undergoing tests Lentz engine is really something It operates on the poppet type principle like your automobile in stead of on the sleeve valve or tur bine principle used in most steam engines lexibility of Propulsion Beauty of the new Victory ship model that its design will per mit the use of any propulsion unit available the old fashioned recip rocating engines the Liberty ships turbines Diesels or turbo electric drive In this flexibility the Maritime Commission will re move one of the greatest causes of slowups in ship deliveries Heretofore every ship has had to be designed for a particular en gine installation Hulls can now be turned out on an assembled pro duction basis but if a hull was ready and the engine the hull had to wait Now with this new adaptable Victory ship that permits the installation of any type engine ships can be com pleted and delivered on a much better schedule the ways and thg fitting docks cleared for other hulls At tKe prcscnt time about two thirds of the shipbuilding capacity is devoted to construction of the 10500 ton Libertys They are good ships for their purpose But the Liberty ship is slow making around 10 kmjB1 and is limited to a cargo carrying capacity of 8000 to 8500 tons The new Victorys will be able to make 15 or 16 knots and carry around 10000 tons car go The new Victory ships in other words will be ships that can be used in post war competitive world trade whereas the Libertys could nut As to what can be done with the Liberty in the post war area shipping men have varying opin ions A lot of the Libertys may no sunk by submarines As for those that survive the proposal being given most consideration is that they disposed of to replace the fleets of other United Nations sunk during the war Our uture Merchant leet The idea of the Maritime Com mission planning for 1944 and 1945 is therefore to build up a merchant fleet which can be used in com petitive post war world trade It will be able to shift orders to the new Victory ships to transports GIVEN TO BOARD Air expired coupon books both for highway and non highway use must be
