Plane Production Near 5,000 Month Sen. Thomas Reports On Plane Production Washington, June 8. — (UP) Sen. Elmer Thomas, D. Okla , said j today that American airplane production has reached a level of "nearly 5.000 a month.” "We are up to the president’s ! schedule now and next year we will reach his second objective of 10,000 a month,” Thomas said In an Interview. Thomas is chairman of the sen : ate appropriations subcommittee which handles army bills. At the same time the aeronaut leal Chamber of Commerce of Am- , erica reported that the aircraft Ini dtatfry has increased mllitaty plane I productfon nearly 85 percent dur I ing the first six months of the war j an<f that ft soon will exceed the i combined production of the enemy Germany. Japan and Italy. Includ- ; ing the production being forced out of occupied countries. Th*- chamber also reported that I aircraft engine production has been I Increased nearly 80 percent since j Pearl Harbor—"in part due to the i automotive companies which are ' hulldfng aircraft engines, using the designs deelopdc by th,, old-line aircraft engine companies.” Thomas said American factories are meeting the "almost unbelievable” production goals set by President Roosevelt tn his annual message |> congrnas on Jan d 80.000 airplanes in 1941 and 125,000 In 1843. "The enemy cannot stand before us.' he said. "No nation or com bination of nations can hold up against United States power from this time on." Th*- Axis world is in< apable of matching the resources and production capacity of th- United Staten, he declared. He conceded, how ever, that this country still faces the problem of transporting its men and equipment to the fighting Um "Os course, Japan can pick out some of our new sit< s when- we are not fully equipped for attack." he said. "We are in the position of covering the world and we *l<> not yet have full equipment and : manpower at all pointe "But we will have full equipment i and manpower." I Thomas said he would ask the i war department for "an over all ■ picture" of the present condition lof the war effort when the UH3 ! army appropriations bill reaches the senate. This has yet to he re’potted to the house appropriations - • committee, although there are asI' sections that the measure totals well over 135.000,00D.00e "America's armed forces pres* nt a tar different picture today than ! j they did in 1»3».' he said- "At , that time we had prailhaily noth- , * ing and today we have a well i equippi-d army CRIPPLED JAPANESE I J *> —■ (Continued From Fags 1) ' two heavily Transport* three. ) Both here and at Washing' >n. ■ the commanding admirals refraincd Bom claiming a definite victory in the .Midway battle, specifically ■ because the enemy fleet had not been destroyed, but had withI drawn. i But each hour which passed made it seem more certain here l that Japan had suffered Its great est defeat In Its brief naval his tory Admiral Klug at Washington had catted the Coral Sea battle off eastern Australia, which *nd ,i ed a month ago today "another ''decisive setback to the Japanese.” I- seemed beyond doubt that in the Midway battle, with a far ' larger force engaged.
