BRITISH PLAN OF |

3000 a Month Possible, | Says Morgenthau; ‘Fan- I tastic,” Say Others.

WASHINGTON, July 25 (U. P) —Treasury Secretary Henry Mor-|: genthau Jr. said today that the]: United States will give “every possible facility” to enable the British Government to obtain 3000 American military airplanes a month, Mr. Morgenthau said that the British wanted 72,000 planes in 1941 and 1942 “over and above” existing contracts. “From the standpoint of national defense,” Secretary Morgenthau said, “that is the best thing that has|: happened this year.” 1200 Recently Refused Private aviation circles, however, described as “fantastic” the 3000-planes-a-month plan outlined by Lord Beaverbrook, British Min-|: ister of Aircraft Production. These: sources said that American output]: capacity now ranges between 500 b and 600 monthly. } The British Government, it was said, recently tried to obtain an option of 1200 more military planes but that the offer was rejected, at least temporarily. 3 Secretary Morgenthau said the \ new British proposal had been re-|& ceived seriously and had been con- |i sidered at conference yesterday and | : the day before between defense offi-| J 3 cials, Treasury experts and members | RRR of the British purchasing mission. 3

WALLACE AND F. D. R. DEBATE VOTE STRATEGY

Bolt Seems Off to Slow Start; Others May Join Political ‘Sit-Down.’

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 25-—Presi-dent Roosevelt and Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace conferred today on campaign strategy amidst signs that the anti-third term Democratic bolt is off to a slow start. The President returned to the Capital from a prolonged week-end at his Hyde Park, N. Y,, estate, The meeting today was the first of the running mates since they were nominated to be the Democratic Party's standard bearers in this year's Presidential cam-

paign. The outline of the New Deal's drive to elect Mr. Roosevelt for a third term probably will be evolved at today’s meeting. It also was expected that arrangements will be made soon to send Mr. Wallace on an intensive stumping tour of key states. Meanwhile, Mr. Wallace indicated he would remain in the Cabinet at least until he is officially notified of his Vice Presidential nomination about Aug. 20. Bolt to Be Discussed The anti-third term bolt and the strategy to be used against it also will be an important subjezt of the Wallace-Roosevelt conference. The so-called bolt still is only a potential one, but its extent and intensity cannot be determined either way until this Presidential campaign really gets going sometime after Sept. 1. If there is to be a major bolt that fact is not yet evident. More conservative Democrats here have announced that they would support the Roosevelt-Wallace ticket than have said they would take a walk, But the possibilities of a fairly extensive political sit-down are much greater than are the pros-

template plane output at an average rate of at least 2000 planes a month/ in the next 15 months. This, combined with the 3000plane British proposal, would require an output of 5000 planes a; month or 60,000 a year, The figure quite possibly might be larger.

pects of a substantial bolt.. Even the sit-down cannot be called at this time more than a potentiality. The facts are that a number of Democratic members of Congress, obviously including those against whom Mr. Roosevelt directed his 1938 purge, are unhappy and ripen-

KIDNAP OFFICIAL OF

SHANGHAI, July 25 (U. P).—Y. S. Fong, wealthy vice president of the American-owned United Chemical Industries, was kidnaped today by four gunmen who forced him to alight from his automobile in front of his home, seriously wounded his bodyguard, and took him away in their own car.

ing for protest if the political climate remains unchanged. When the campaign gets into its swing evidence will accumulate in the states of such Democratic Senators as Frederick VanNuys (Ind), Millard Tydings (Md.), Bennett C. Clark (Mo.), Pat McCarran (Nev.), Guy M. Gillette (Ia.), Burton K. Wheeler (Mont), Harry F. Byrd and Carter Glass (Va.), Bailey (N. C.)—to name some standouts.

If those men are whooping it up for the Roosevelt-Wallace ticket as well as for the Democratic slates in their own states, there will be no sit-down strike against a third term. There will be particular interest in the activities of Postmaster General James A. Farley. By the time the campaign is well under way, Mr. Farley will have retired from the Cabinet and from the National Committee chairmanship. But he still will be chairman of the New York State Democratic Committee and, in that capacity, committed to support the Democratic ticket from President down—and there is no doubt that he will do so. A meeting of Jeffersonian Democrats scheduled for today in Chicago has been postponed. The Jeffersonians met in Detroit years ago to oppose Mr. election.

GERMANS USING U.S. WARPLANES

Chance - Vought Bombers Taken From France Turned | On England.

LONDON, July 25 (U.P.)~—German planes, reinforced by American made bombers obtained from France, resumed mass raids on Great Brit|ain and British shipping at dawn | today. Swarms of British fighting planes | | drove off the new attacks. British | air sources said an estimated 80 German planes had struck with | bombs and machine guns at ship- | ping in the channel during the morning. Bomber fleets attacked a British convoy twice in the North Sea.

The air ministry disclosed that | the Germans were now using Amerlican Chance-Vought-156 bomber | planes, which had been sold to Britain's late ally, France, in their | attacks on Britain. (The Chance-Vought now is {known as the Vought-Sikorsky | “Corsair” V-156, a model identical to one used in the United States Navy but with many exclusive fea- | tures removed. It is manufactured by the Vought-Sikorsky division of the United Aircraft Corp.) Two of the American-made planes were shot down and a third crippled by British Spitfire fighters, asserted

Provides Wage Increase of 11/, Cents an Hour, Vacation Allowances.

DETROIT, July 25 (U. P.).—A contract between the General Motors Corp. and the United Automobile Workers, A. F. of L, covering the five plants in which the union won the right to repre sent employees, has been signed, it was disclosed today. The contract was said to be al-

most identical to the one signed with the U. A. W.-C. 1. O. after nearly two months of negotiation on behalf of the employees represented by it in 54 plants. The major exception was said to be the “umpire clause.” Under the C. 1. O. contract, a permanent ume pire would be employed while the A. F. of L. contract calls for an umpire to be selected only in case of dispute, and then only if both sides agree, The new A. F. of L. contract provides the same 12 cent an hour average wage-increase and vacation allowances as provided in the C. I. 0. pact. It covers the Chevrolet and Fisher Body Plants at Kansas City, the Chevrolet and Fisher Body Plants at Norwood, O., and the New Parture Plant at Meriden, Conn. a total of about 6000 employees come pared with the 135,000 covered in the C. I. O. contract.
