Twelve The Capital Journal, Salem; Oregon Saturday, August 22, 1942 Production of Combat Planes Shy of Forecast Washington, Aug. 22 U. Production Chief Donald M. Nelson reported today that war production in July was three and a half times the rate of No vember, 1941, the month before Pearl Harbor. But he said combat plane out' put was not up to expectations and other "low spots"" require redoubled efforts. Nelson asid that the June out put of planes, guns, tanks, ships and other war materials was 7 per cent short of the production forecasts made at the beginning of the month. July's output, however, was an Improvement over June, indicating progress toward the scheduled, objective. July production Nelson reported the following box score on July .production, as compared with June: , . All aircraft Up 1 1 per oent; combat planes up 6 per cent but "not up to expectations." Ordnance Up 26 per cent and "very close to schedules." Naval ships Up 22 per cent; "considerably ahead of fore casts" for major combat vessels; "materially behind expectations" for minor vessels. . ; Merchant ship tonnage Up 8 per cent and "nearly, on. sched ule for the month." : . Hits at Critics The last approximate figures on actual numbers of weapons produced-rather than percent ages were . given by President Roosevelt in June. He said-then that May aircraft production was "nearly 4,000,'.' that tank production was over 1,500 and that artillery and antitank guns production amounted to nearly 2,000. , . ' ' Nelson presented his produc tion figures in a formal state ment. Then at a press confer ence he struck back at critics who said he should exercise more power over the - armed services. ' The WPB, army, navy and maritime commission are work ing for just one ting, he said "to win this war." . .' Get Right-of-Way The WPB chairman said there was no difference of opinion on what the most urgently needed, military items were and that they were going to be given the right of way over everything In order to defeat the axis enemies. "There is no ..struggle for power; I; have the power," Nel son said when asked whether the armed services had veto powers over his actions. Nelson told reporters that June production of war goods had risen to a value of $4,500, 000,000 which is at rate of $54, 000,000,000 annually. The pres ident's goal was $40,0000,000, 000 for the year of 1942'. " , M 1 b t- '..y ;,'yX'.

Under the extended order taxicabs no longer can pick up passengers "whose only interest In engaging the vehicle Is to go for a hlghtseeing ride." Drive yourself automobiles cannot be rented to parties "merely wishing to take! a rub-, bcrneck trip." Privately owned cabs must not be offered for hire or rented for sightseeing purposes.

"Some of the beginnings may be very small," says Charles I. Stanton CAA administrator arid one of the prime movers in the air schooling program. "It may be no more than a physics course which sets its problems in avia tion symbols, a shop course in which the boys build model planes rather than bookcases and wheelbarrows, or a geogra phy course that considers the globe from the airborne rather than the land-bound aspect. Most High Schools "But, small or not, my guess would be that 75 per cent of our high .schools will be giving some sort of aeronautics instruc tion to their junior and senior classes this fall. And there's such a great desire among our youngsters girls as well as boys for aviation education that we really don't have to put on an elaborate campaign. We merely have to furnish the sign posts."
