DEFENSE PROGRAM NO LONGER ‘PAPER’

Predict ‘Double or Triple’

With 748 New Plants by Fall Forming Vast Reservoir.

WASHINGTON, May

production of American industry will be doubled or tripled

within the next few months

Army and Navy and for the armed forces of Great Britain, China, Latin American nations and other friendly govern-

ments. Defense officials predict that between July 4 and the| fall months, 784 new gun,| shell, airplane, tank and other armament factories will go| into actual operation and! many plant expansion proj-|

ects will be completed. One hundred more defense plants will be completed by early 1942.

Factories that have been idle since | the early 1930s have been rehabili- |

tated and enlisted for armament production for the duration of the emergency. Small shops also are being pressed into active service to make “bits and pieces” for larger companies choked with prime defense contracts.

Form Vast Reservoir

Official said that American factories will be turning out necessities | of modern mechanized warfare which will surpass anything a combination of European powers can muster, Aircraft production will double the 1216 planes delivered during March. The new aircraft plants will | produce heavier types of military planes iather than trainers which have passed their production peak. Production of 13-ton light tanks | will be doubled, all types of ma- | chine guns—now running 9 per cent | ahead of schedule, rifles and small | arms will be more than tripled, and | ammunition supplies will pile up at inland points when powder and shell loading plants hit full operating schedules. While completion of 3400 ships of all types to be built for the twoocean Navy and the American and British merchant marine has been spaced over a two to three-year period, new inland factories are speeding building by materials and transporting them to

DEARBORN, Mich., May 2 (U, P.) —Rep.
