John Collier of the Office of In- statement, he replied laconically: 'Hope." Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, who flew up from Wash ington. said in his near-by Man Chester home that he has not abandoned hope. But he added the depth of the submarine is a discouraging factor. The Squal us was only at 240 feet when a majority of her men were saved "The marvelous rescue of 33 men from the Squalus was effect ed at the greatest depth ever successfully handled," Knox said.

That was a methoa I had never thought of, having been fetched up in the old-fashioned newspaper, practice whereby the reporter, when he wants to know, puts on his hat and goes over to the place where the guy is and hangs around until the fellow finds a little wedge of time between his regular appointments. But never me to reject new ideas, whatever their source, just because they are new ideas, although I have shaken off nbt a few of Mrs. Roosevelt's ideas, I thought this one possessed charm, simplicity, directness and the probabilities of a handsome pay-off in the way of results.

dlls Up Mayor Well, there were a lot of things concerning which I wanted various authorities to tell me something, and the first was the Communist thing in the New York subway situation. So I got on the phone to the office of our noted Mayor and fold the girl who I was and said, "I wish you would ask the Mayor to drop in late this afternoon and explain some things to me." There was a small squawk of alarm or astonishment I wouldn't know which accompanied by a sort of thump as of a falling body, and I heard a man's voice say: "Wotsa matter, Nelly? Did someone insult you on the phone? Leave me talk to the louse." So he got on the phone, and I said, "No." I said: "I didn't insult the lady; I just told her to tell Butch to drop in late ABOUT LABOR MR. Wright nald: "The laborers today are more appreciative of the Joint problems of management and labor, but they are also greatly influenced by the trend of the times. It is more difficult to stick to the cold-turkey facts." His workers operate through a separate union but he paid: "The C.I.O. is at our gates every night.

We keep men busy sweeping up the Mingers that both sides throw out." Slingers are the propaganda sheets that are thrown out by both unions. ONE OF THE great advantages of the Airacobra made in the rival Bell plant is the tricycle landing gear which keeps the plane from nosing over. This seems like a small thing which good piloting should overcome but under wartime conditions when much flying and landing is at night under bad lights, it is extremely important that a plane should be' not only easy but very easy to land. With one wheel forward and two in the rear, the Airacobra comes down like a lamb. THE ABSENCE OF true facts as to the equipment the Germans have is astounding.

We ask right along what corresponding equipment, the enemy has to match the armaments we rre producing. A typical answer was given today by Larry Bell: "If the Germans have planes capable of good performance above feet, it's very recent, although we hear miscellaneous stories of Allied ships being dived on by German ships from above these altitudes." MR. BELL, WHO traveled in Germany in 1938, visiting their aviation plants, estimated that we are in a potential production equal to the German potential 193S production. "They were supposed to be putting out a thousand planes a month then on one shift," he said. 5 "How many planes would they be putting out do you think J'' "About 3000." ON DEFENSE At the Curtlss-WriglTt piant'here they report extreme difficulty getting information fighting conditions and performance of their ships from the British.

Recently, however, their director of military engineering, DonB. Berlin, was pent-to Lbjifton. He's back now with a of firsthand Information -which has been reported personally to rresidcnt Roose--ltnd will be of immense vilue in planning future plane changes.

Wings aren't put on the plane's until the last minute to save factory space, a new departure in plane assembly. HERE ARE THE bottlenecks that have afflicted aviation production since the emergency became apparent, according to Mr.

Wright of Curtiss-Wright: A shortage of skilled aviation engineers. A shortage of tool designers. 'A shortage of highly skilled machinists. A shortage of certain machine tools. A shortage of dies and patterns'.

Most of these shortages still exist in whole or in part, pre-venting the expansion programs from going forward as fast as the most optimistic, Impractical optimists i hope. As "We set such a high schedule and 'pushed our program so far that we couldn't make it. Still we're only 30-CO days behind." Officers said he expressed deep order reads, "that the defendant may voluntarily depart from the United States and that upon concern and regret when they advised him the Navy "was not optimistic" about the situation. verification of said departure, motion for dismissal and exon that gave me an idea, because there are several things I wanted, the Police Commissioner to tell me about So I called headquarters and said to the sergeant -cop on the phone: Pcgler. Will you please ask the commissioner to drop in late this afternoon because want him to tell me about some matters?" The sergeant-cop stalled me with some dpuble-talk that I couldn't quite untangle, and between gabbles I heard him say to other cop, "Trace this one.

Governor Next Then he turned" to me and said I should wait right there and the. commissioner would be right over, and prettys soon in comes a man from the screwball detail to see what goes on, and he feels of my head, and I have the damndest time convincing him that I am not away from myself at all but Just trying out a new process of reporting. he finally goes away saying I cer-t a i nl ha ve got something there if it works and why 'don't I try it on Governor Lehman? So I said, "I was just going to," and so I did. Well, at the Governor's office they didn't believe me at all and wouldn't even give him my message, although I told them over and over I had several matters I wanted him to tell me about and I didn't think it very courteous or cooperative of them to brush me off that way. Finally I said: "Now, look, pals.

Mrs. R. is a columnist and so am and that is the way she does and they come on time and pour it out for her, and I guess maybe you don't believe in democracy, after all, if that is the way you feel about it." No Grog, No Visit Just the same, that was the way they did feel about it, so I finally got down to the County Clerk, the Probate Judge and the' Road Commissioner, and they thought I was fixing to give a drinking, and when I said no I wanted them to inform tne on some matters and no grog they Just said, well, if I would drop in some time they might spare a few min ONE OF OLDEST eration of the bond will be made The 0-9, one of the nation's it is ordered that the de fendant is given permission to oldest submarines and only recently jecommissioned after a decade of idleness, went into a leave the jurisdiction for the purpose of voluntarily deporting deep trial dive at 7:56 a.m. yester day.

A frantic search followed but Thomas Winsley Tillery Jr 2fi, machinist mate on the United States Navy submarine 0-0 which sank off Portsmouth, R.I., yesterday, is a former Los Angels youth who joined the service about eight years ago. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Winsley Tillery of 519 No. Nolden St.

and attended Los Angeles schools here including Luther Burbank Junior High School and Franklin High School. He left the latter school while in the 10th grade in 1031 to go to Colorado. The family had made its residence at the Nolden SL address for the last several years, originally coming from Montrose, Col. Both parents are out of the city, Mrs. Tillery being in Montrose on a visit with her sister-in-law, Mrs.

Maud Trum-bo, mother of Dalton Trumbo, the screen writer. Mr. Tillery is manager at the scenarist's Lebec ranch. Other members of the family are a sister, Laverne Tillery, and a brother James, recent Occidental College graduate, who is with hi.s mother. Young Tillery originally enlisted from Los Angeles and for most of his service saw duty with the Pacific Fleet at San Diego and Hawaii.

A year ago he received a transfer to an East Coast land base and later received his assignment to the 0-9. He wrote his family that he was enthusiastic about the submarine service. The former Angeleno was married a few years ago in Phoenix, Ariz.
