AIR CONTROL SEEN FOR DEMOCRACIES

Production Goal of 500 Bombers Monthly in U. S. to

Bring Supremacy by 1

943 Mid-Supxmer, Say

"Experts: Output to Exceed Nazis’.

WASHINGTON, May 22 (U. P.).—Aviation experts said today that plans to produce 500 heavy bombers a month by the fall of 1942 should insure aerial supremacy for the democracies by mid-summer of 1943. They estimated that approximately 8000 long-range heavy bombers, capable of carrying a four-ton bomb load more than S000 mies, could be produced in this country be-

4 BILLION MORE URGED FOR ARMS

OPM Wants ts Ary. to Equip 4 Million; 11,000 in ROTC To Be Called.

WASHINGTON, May 22. The Office of Production Management is urging the Army -to ask Congress for $4,000,000,000 more for tanks and planes, Congressional circles reported today. Such an additional appropriation would raise the 1942 fiscal year defense spending program to approximately $24,000,000,000, according to official Congressional estimates. One member of the House military appropriations subcommittee said the OPM has for several weeks been urging the Army to initiate such a program immediately. He said the Army was reluctant to do so unless it became apparent that the United States was going to become involved in the war. The Congressional informant said the defense program “down to this hour” contemplates a completely outfitted army of 1,428,00, with reserve material and weapons adequate to equip 2,000,000.

Arms for 4 Million

7 The proposed enlargement, he said, would furnish tanks, planes ana other heavy equipment for an army or nearly 4,000,000. The Hou final form of legislation tightening the President’s control over raw materials and industrial facilities for defense and British aid. The priorities bill was sent back to the Senate in the form requested by the Administration. The President’s economic advisers are working on another bill that would make violations of price orders issued by the Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply punishable by jail sentences and fines.

, R.O.T.C. to Get Call

Rep. Joe Starnes (D. Ala.) revealed that 11,000 university and Slog graduates this year, who have taken the R. O. T. C. training, [vi be called directly into service. {The War Department, he said, re{vealed its plans to the Military Apropriations Committee of which he = member. The college graduates, upon completion of their training, are given reserve commissions. Rep. Starnes said the Army is also procuring an additional 4200 officers, of whom some 2700 would be for the Air Corps, and 500 would be as-

signed to work in connection with,

administration of the $7,000,000,000

lend-lease program. Rep. Starnes

did not say from what source they would be drawn. The R. O. T. C. officers, he said, would help fill the deficiency of trained personnel required in instructing recruits -and draftees called to service.

{formulated by OPM Director

William S. Knudsen.

According to these experts, Germany -could not produce as many heavy four-engined craft as the United States and Britain combined, should be able to build by the latter part of next year. Informed officials said approximately 100 heavy bombers a month are being produced here, These include the Boeing “flying fortress” bomber and the consolidated B-24, both four-engined craft. Output to Gain Rapidly Two of the four. Governmentowned bomber assembly Blane | now under construction at Tulsa, Okla. and Ft. Worth, Tex.—were expected to begin production early next year on Consolidated B-24s. It will not take long, officials said, for them to attain .a combined output of 100 planes a month. Under the new program, in which play an important part, 300 additional heavy bombers a month will be built. Considerable plant expansion and perhaps some new plants will be necessary, officials said, before this rate could be reached. Nevertheless, they were confident that this level avas possible by the early fall of next year. Mr. Knudsen revealed that the Ford Motor Co. and the three aircraft companies have been notified that the Government will sign contracts with them within a few weeks for: production of heavy bombefs. - Ford will produce the Consolidated B-24’s at Ypsilanti, Mich. This will be the only automobile manufacturer to turn outy completed aircraft for the Government. The other major motor car companies will produce sub-assem-blies for the Government’s assembly plants. Develop : Huge Transport A’ defense official predicted that the Ford Ypsilanti plant would be able to turn out 100 heavy bombers a month. While the accent appeared to be on heavy bombers officials = said steps may ‘be taken shortly to expand production of two-engined medium bombers. Meanwhile, an OPM -efficial disclosed that the Lockheed Aircraft Corp., Burbank, Cal.,, has been told by the Government to continue development of a new. 64-passenger transport plane known as the “Constellation.” This official said one of the reasons Lockheed has been assured of preferential treatment for its work on the huge airliner is that the Army is interested in it as a possible troop transport.

First Objectors Report to Camp

ELEVEN HOOSIER conscientious objectors to military service, Indiana's first contingent, reported - today for work under civilian direction at the new conservation camp near Lagro, in Wabash County. Three others are scheduled to arrive at a second camp near Richmond June 2. The conscientious objectors will receive no pay during their year of service and those financially able will be expected to pay for their- own maintenance—about $35 a month. The camps are organized and directed by churches whose members are known for

their ‘conscientious. scruples against military training.

BATTLE OF CRETE

Nazi Invasion of Britain Hinges on Outcome, Observers Say.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor

plans for the invasion of Britain, some of the best informed military observers here sssert, almost certainly depend upon the outcome of the Battle of Crete. There is reason to believe, therefore, that the Nazi general staff has given the order to take Crete at any price. If i cannot be taken, Eng-

land cannot be taken. If -it is taken, but at prohibitive cost, then

defended and better prepared British Isles would be too high and the project probably ‘dropped. Unquestionably, it is pointed out there, the possession of Crete would strengthen Germany’s position in the eastern Mediterranean. The island is less than 450 miles from Suez and only about that distance from Solum. It is a stepping stone between Nazi-held Greece and Nazidominated Syria. It completes the bottling-up- of Russia and blocks Turkey's exit from the Dardanelles and Aegean Sea.

, Not Vital to Nazis

But, it is observed, possession of Crete is not vital to Germany. Sicily, belonging to the Axis, cuts the Mediterranean in two approximately midway between Gibraltar and Suez. Crete is only 80 miles nearer than Greece itself. The Nazis are already in Libya, on the Egyptian frontier, and they are in Syria, which is much closer to Suez than Crete. - Why then, the: writer. asked a number of military experts here, should the Nazis take such a desperate chance in Crete? Their composite answer was about this: Hitler is aware that he must defeat Britain to win the war. To do that he must invade England.

Divided on Invasion The Nazi General Staff, however, has long been reportedly split over the possibility of invasion. One faction holds that it ¢an not be done. \other insists it is possible but that it would probably be costly. “How costly?’ the Nazi leaders

ask. They want to know because if invasion is tried and it fails, the war will probably be lost. And if it ends in disaster—if the English Channel is clogged with the corpses of German boys who died in vain— it would probably be the last of the Nazi regime.

So Crete is the test.

NAZI BLITZKRIES ON SUEZ ENDED

Wavell’s Skill Forces More Methodical Campaign, Whitaker Says.

By JOHN T. WHITAKER Copyright, 1941, by The Indianapolis Times e Chicago y News, Inc.

LISBON, May 22—The Germans have failed in their blitzkrieg campaign against the Suez, which is the key to Great -Britain’s defense, Mediterranean seapower and Mosul oil, it is felt here today by military observers, who are now watching Nazi activities in Turkey and North Africa from which a slower and more methodical campaign may be developed. Hitler's effort be rush his armored columns through, to Cairo and Alexandria has been balked. As great a tactician as strategist, Britain’s Middle East commander-in-chief, Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell, has attacked the bases and supply lines of those columns and counterattacked at’ Solum and elsewhere. Consequently, Germany’s tank commander, Lieut. Gen. Erwin Rommel has got to use more forces to break through and that will make the supply problem more difficult. Thanks to the tactical skill of his troops, Gen. Wavell has removed the element of surprise which enabled the Germans to re: gain Cyrenaica and has brought hundreds of thousands of reinforcements to the Middle East. The last sweep through of the British Fleet brought crack troops and sorely needed armaments to Suez in what is described ‘in British circles here as the most important convoy to date. Outclassed militarily, Hitler: has returned to his old tactics of fighting the war and the bribery of Iraqi leaders has been paralleled by the German success in Vichy which handed Syria to the Germans. Syrian collaboration against Britain means that Turkey is now surrounded by Germancontrolled areas. This means that Turkish economy collapsed unless Ankara trades entirely with Berlin, and that British arms cannot reach Turkey. Early entry of Turkey into the Axis orbit consequently seems likely. That, more than the betrayal of Syria, offers the Germans the posSivaiity of getting troops to Iraq.

Secretary Stimson made his statement at a press conference, 24 hours after Navy Secretary Frank Knox had urged repeal of the act, which he described as a “blunder.” The two statements recalled the recent campaign waged by Cabinet members, including Mr. Knox and Mr. Stimson, for increased naval aid for Britain. It might in+ dicate a possible Administration move to seek repeal of the neutrality legislation. If the act were repealed, American ships would be able to carry arms directly: to Britain.

4 FIRMS SHARE OIL CONTRACTS

State Highway Commission Accepts Proposal. on ~ $600,00 Business.

The Highway Commission’s $600,000 annual oil and gas business will be divided among four oil eompanies during. the coming year under contracts awarded today. The contracts were awarded to low bidders in all cases, according to James D. Adams, Commissioner chairman. Thirteen companies submitted bids.

The Crystal | Flash Petroleum Corp. of Indianapolis was awarded the contract to supply gas and oil in the Greenfield district, which includes Indianapolis. The company bid 27 cents less per gallon of gasoline than the posied tank wagon market price and bid from 25 to 29 cents per gallon in the various grades of oil. The Phillips Petroleum Co., Bartlesville, Okla., with a bid of 2 cents under the posted price, received the gas contract for the Vincennes, LaPorte and Crawfordsville districts. The Standard Oil Co. of Indiana received the gasoline contract for the Ft. Wayne and Seymour districts with a bi& of 1.75 cents per gallon under the posted price. The contract.to supply oil in the last five above mentioned districts was awarded to the Indian Refining Co. of Indianapolis which submitted a bid of 29 cents a gallon. Mr. Adams said that the gasoline
