WASHINGTON, Nay 5 Behind President Roose welts request for speeding up manufacture ang use F eritical machine tools is anxiety within the Admin. fctration over the wide gulf between what we are do. fhe and what must be done. The total volume of defense activity must be more than doubled during the remainder of this year to keep within reach of the schedule which we have set oubselves-—not to mention the eur rent expansion of the original pro gram under pressure of the British on program aleady aus thorized, we must spend this year S17.6800.000000. Im the frst three months of this year we spent $2.« S00.000.000, which fs at the rate of $10.300.000.000 a vear instead of the $17.600.000.000 seheduled some OPM have serous doubt scheduled expenditure is anvthing like Because out of it must be taken Milding of factories, anothel is for subsistence and other supply United States and Biitish armed leaving about $9.600.000000 to go into actual Rooting weapons

Speed and More Speed

At the end the year, we need to be ready to move Into a fast-paced schedule which calls for expendi ture, during 1942, of $19.200000000 on shooting weapons. The gap between that pace and the dog trot abt which we are moving means that during the remaining eight months of this year, greater speed than was originally contemplated will be necessary to offset time lost up to now We can put the problem in a different way and use the figures of John D. Biggers, director of production for OPM, Before the end of this year production of powder must be trebled, rifle production must be dois bled, small arms arms ammunition must be trebled,

My Day

SEATTLE, Wash, Sunday.-I have a letter from Mr, Theodore Dreiser in Hollywood, Cal, telling me that he has been sent some copies of my column which appeared on April 10. In it he says that I stated: “After dinner Mr. Theodore Dreiser showed us some slides of Black Mountain College near Asheville, N. C.

I can only infer that this error was made in a few papers. I know it was not made in my own copy, for I have that in my files. The name, of course, was Mr. Theodore Dreier, who teaches at Black Mountain College and is a nephew of a very old friend, Miss Mary Drefer. Mr. Dreiser is troubled because he feels that his following in the country will believe that he is friendly enough to the President or his foreign policy, to come to the White House for any reason whatsoever. I am sorry, of course, that a typographical error of this Kind, even though I am not responsible for it, should have caused Mr. Dreiser such embarrassment. I am taking this opportunity to state very clearly that Mr. Dreiser did not come to the White House and is still opposed to the President and his fore policy,

With the aid of their music teacher, they had each made recordings wishing her a happy birthday and playing two complete pieces on the piano for her. At noon, to everybody's joy, we went off on the boat for a picnic lunch, I was told with great en. thusiasm, that the cooking would be done by the gentlemen of the family, who would give us fried egg sandwiches. They proved excellent and the sun shone and we had a marvelous time. We returned early enough to play a while with Johnny, so he would not be disappointed. Then we had a birthday dinner with the necessary cake and candles. Thus ended a happy day. Friday evening, my son-in-law showed Miss Thompson and me some of the movies taken of the inauguration in January and at various times when we have been out here. They will be a wonderful record for the children when they are grown. Today, Anna has gathered together for me a num ber of people from the faculties and student bodies of various colleges.
