It Is possible that the Hughes re

men are associated In one way or an

program proves nothing, but It has
attracted the attention of other In

misgiving about achievements.
The finest spruce logs, singled out
for aircraft production and brought
at great trouble and 'expense out of

of sawmills to pieces and caused seri
