WASHINGTON. June -4VGuided missiles travelling 100.000
miles an hour and spare ships high above the atmosphere were fore
seen today by senators urging a reorganization of the nation's air
planning efforts.
An aircraft subcommittee of the senate defense investigating
committee, in a 39-page report to the senate, included these two

Ask Larce Fund
Calling "for an outlay of "sev
eral hundred million dollars" for
scientific aeronautical research in
the immediate future, the senate
group said this is necessary to
maintain wartime air supremacy.
Senator Mitchell (D-Wash),
chairman of the subcommittee, in
a speech prepared for the sen
ate, questioned the rapid contrac
tion of the huge wartime aviation
industry.
He said the subcommittee had
agreed upon several conclusions
and will continue its work. The
conclusions folfbw:
1. Actual and projected im
provements in aircraft and mi-r
siles threaten to dissipate our his
toric natural defenses.
Preud ef Record
2. We may be proud of our war
record of mass production of
300,000 airplanes.
3. Notwithstanding the achieve
ment, there were costly errors and
unnecessary wastes. The greatest
handicaps were an almost com
plete lack of realistic planning
by the responsible government of
ficials and delay of the industry
to use outside mass production
facilities by subcontracting and
licensing. The services also failed
to investigate and clarify many
mass production problems.
Adjustment Made
4. Since hostilities ended the
wartime aircraft industry has
made a remarkable adjustment to
lower production and has shown
ingenuity in converting to peace
time aircraft production and
switching to other civilian pro
ducts. However, the airplane in
dustry has been deflated to the
approximate size it was in De
cember. 1940. It would take two
years to rebuild it to its produc
tive capacity of September, 1945.
5. We have not yet developed a
clear and farsighted national pol
icy in aircraft research and de
velopment. Furthermore, We have
not set a policy for the level of
production of military type air-
