Roosevelt Inspects Tulsa Bomber Plant
Tulsa, Okla., (INS)—President Roosevelt inspected the new mile-long Douglas bomber airplane assembly plant at Tulsa Monday after reviewing the 88th infantry division at Camp Gruber late Sunday.
His visit was made while enroute to a meeting with Mexican President Manuel Avila Camacho at Monterrey, and in the
course of his second war-time inspection tour of military camps and war plants.
President Roosevelt's motorcade drove up and down the two assembly lines of the plant as many of the 1700 workers—nearly half of them women—laid down their tools and cheered.
The chief executive saw the famous four-motor Liberator bombers on the assembly line, and later, in the paint shop, saw them painted a dull battle grey.
Sees Liberator Bombers
The plant, completed in May, 1942, has been turning out Consolidated bombers and single-engine dive bombers in volume ever since. The enbies for the multi-engined fighting ships are delivered to the plant, 10 miles outside Tulsa, from the Ford Willow Run plant.
President Roosevelt, at a news conference aboard his special train, declared that production at the Tulsa plant was stepping up because greater deliveries of parts are now being made from Willow Run.
Visits Camp Gruber
At Camp Gruber, 20 miles from Muskogee, Okla., the President mounted a review stand where he watched the entire 88th infantry division—15,000 strmog—march by.
At the conclusion of the review, Mr. Roosevelt was taken to an enlisted men's mess, where he had dinner with 200 privates representing all the units at the camp.
Eating regular "G.I." food along with the men, President Roosevelt found the meal to his liking and asked for second helpings.
