KILLED HIS "WIFE"
A MAN accused of killing the woman with whom he was living and her illegitimate child and burying them in his garden, was alleged to have taken a girl to his home and offered her fur coats and furs which he said belonged to his divorced wife.

WAR PLANT QUEENS & ALHAMBRA IN U.S.
After visiting two out of the three main aero- plane engine plants now under intense production for America's, war effort, it appears indisputable that the skilled labour problem in this key branch of the aircraft industry has already been solved to a degree sur- dead passing all expectation.
The accused man, Lionel Rupert Nathan Wat- son, 31, a bakelite moulder, of Goring-way, Green- ford, Middlesex, appeared at Ealing charged with murdering Phyllis Elizabeth Crocker, 28, and Eileen Crocker, 18 months.
Mr. H. A. K. Morgan who pro- secuted, said poisoning was sus- pected. Watson was married and had four children. He went to live with Miss Crocker and her illegitimate child in September, 1940.
"He told Miss Crocker-so he says 'hat he had divorced his wife. He and Miss Crocker went through a form of marriage
"They appeared to be happy. but at work Watson showed signs of wishing to Вегаро ecquaintance with a girl aged 17/2
called Joan Philby. She gave him no encouragement."
Gave Girl Wife's Clothes
Mr. Morgan said Watson later took Miss Philby to a place of en-
tertainment.
"He gave her clothes shoes belonging to the woman, and jewels.

"On Sunday, June 15, when the bodies were actually in the
of the flat, he garden this girl into the flat, enticed her into the bedroom, showed her fur coa's and fox fure, which he said belonged to his d'vorced wife, and asked her if she would have them. She re- fused.
"In a letter Watson wrote to Miss Philby the day before he was arrested, he said:
I took to you as soon as I saw you because you are a lot different . and I was begin- ning to love you." "
Watson was remanded.

Here, at General Motors Allison plant, where Allison liquid-cooled and Bri- engines for American tish pursuit 'planes
being turned out at a rate of approxi- mately 400 a month, this fact is being impressively demonstrated.
9,000 Workers
In the autumn of 1939 there were fewer than 100 men on the here, and only Allison pay-roll 125 per cent, of them were classed as skilled labour. Since that time a vast cornfield has become the site of a huge windowless, blacked-out, central factory, and the plant now employs approxi- mately 9,000 men.
Ever since the factory began turning out aircraft engines 13 months ago it has been producing mechanically-trained labour at а rhythm that has equalled or sur- passed its constantly increasing ration of production. One of the things some neople sald could not be done has been done.
It seems scarcely credible that. this completed process of air- craft engine manufacture has been achieved in about a year and a half by an organisation that had never handled aviation machinery previously,
These Allison liquid-cooled engines have previously produced 1,150 horse power, but a new, model, whose approval by, the United States Army...was announ- ced recently will have. 1,350 horse power for the same weight and size.
