He said there was an urgent need for more workers in airplane plants and more production and that conversion of factories to different types would not be per-| mitted to interfere with overall obJectives. | Gen. Henry H. Arnold recently told a senate committee that fight- | er plane types would be reduced] from six to four, though he did not identify the types.
