DEFENSE PLAN PLANES TO COST $7.90 A POUND

2000-a-Month Production Is Expected About January, 1941.

Director, Science Service

WASHINGTON, July 16. — The thousands of warplanes Uncle Sam is ordering for defense will cost! {about $7.50 a pound. The announced | | goal of 50,000 a vear means the pro-| | duction of 500,500,000 pounds of air-| {planes, engines and propellers. Cost! will be about $3,500,000.000, a sizable 'slice of the nation's income. And] i . >. I {this does not include the men to pi-| "lot them, the bombs they will carry, the extensive ground crews to main-| tain them, and hundreds of other incidental and essential costs. These figures are from an au-| ithoritative analysis of the program | by T. P. Wright, engineer vice] {president of Curtiss-Wright Corp. | [now specialist to the National De-| 'fense Commission, published in the! Journal, Aviation. | This is of the essence. But there; are no wild dreams of great flocks| of warbirds overnight or even in a; (few months. It took Germany four years to go from 4300 to 31.000 total air strength. It is estimated that an airplane production rate of approximately 2000 a month, or 24.000 a year, can be achieved in 2': by January, 1943. More| 50,- | can be realized | July, 1945, It will require about $500,000,000 in new plants some 75,600,000 square feet — to carry out the program, Men needed will be about! 800.000 compared with 100.000 now! employed in the aircraft industry.

WASHINGTON, July 17 (U.P.).— Socialist Party campaign head- | quarters vesterday made public a letter from Attorney General Rob-| ert H. Jackson saving that the | Socialist Party is not regarded as representing or being influenced by foreign governments. | Mr. Jackson replied to a letter| from Norman Thomas, Socialist] for President, informing orney General that many people believe that signers of Socialist nominating petitions would be investigated bv the Federa: Bureau of Investigation as Fifth Columnists. “It is regretable that such a story | should gain the shghtest credence | in this country,” Mr. Jackson said. The Socialist Party under your leadership has not been regarded as representing or as being under the influence of foreign governments. “It is a lawful political party and an American citizen is not subject to harassment because he exercises his right as a citizen in signing your nominating petitions.”
