1,000 PLANES A MONTH
WASHINGTON.—The figure which
defense commission experts have
fixed privately for new factories for
that new plane production program
is $2,000.000.000. This is the pro-
gram recently announced by
liam S. Knudsen.
Present plane deliveries to
army, navy and to the British
around 1.000 fighting ships per
month. The army's production goal
—3,000 planes a month by 1942, with
a comparable increase in engine
output—obviously means an enor­
mous expansion of manufacturing
facilities.
Some of the companies already
are erecting new plants, in addition
to previous enlargements. Curtiss-
Wright and Glenn Martin have new
facilities under way; Bell Aircraft is
adding 400,000 square feet of space
near Buffalo; Boeing at Seattle re-
ceived $7,368,000 for a new plant,
and Vultee $4 294,000 for the same
purpose.
But all this is only a drop in the
bucket if 50,000 planes per year are
actually to be turned out. Produc­
tion facilities will have to be tripled,
if more than 4,000 planes, engines
and armament for them are to
come off the assembly lines each
month.

PROBLEM TOWNS
The defense commission is getting
its noisiest headaches from the de­
mand of inland communities for de­
fense industries.
Hardly a day
passes without a bombardment of
demands that plants be located in
certain localities. To this din has
now been added a barrage of new
demands by towns that have al­
ready been favored.
These defense boom towns, over­
run with thousands of new residents,
are confronted with serious housing
sanitation, police and other prob­
lems and are hounding the commis­
sion for help
In some places the
problem is so serious that the com­
mission is considering recommend­
ing to congress a public works pro­
gram which would give them the
projects outright—that is, 100 per
cent free.
An example of such a boom town
is Charlestown, Ind., site of what
may become the world's largest
powder plant. A sleepy hamlet of
overnight Charlestown was
800,
transformed into a seething city of
5,000. with perhaps 15.000 in pros­
pect by January as the new powder
plant expands.
Naturally this boom brought thou­
sands of workers, speculators, camp
followers and others to Charlestown.
Housing soon became non-existent,
prices skyrocketed, and one enter-
prising realtor even started to sub­
divide an ancient cemetery into
town lots.
The town has no sewer system.
the tiny municipally-owned water
plant is totally inadequate, and the
community treasury is so broke
that it can’t even pay the salary of
a town marshal, although a govern­
ment payroll of more than $75,000
is now cashed every week at the
town's bank. The boom has spread
to Jeffersonville, 12 miles away, and
to New Albany, 18 miles distant,
where housing can't be had for love
or money.
In this dilemma the town fathers
turned to Uncle Sam, to the WPA,
the U. S. Housing authority, the
Federal
Housing
administration,
even the White House, and finally
to Frank Bane, director of the state
and local division of the defense
commission
At the President’s orders, a plan
has been worked out under which
the defense commission, the state
of Indiana and the town will set up
a Joint planning body to transform
Charlestown into a community capa­
ble of meeting its problems.

Speed of Torpedoes
Most modern type torpedoes can
be adjusted before being launched,
making their speed vary accord­
ing to the distance they are to
travel. For instance, the most
powerful types—about 21 inches in
diameter and more than 20 feet
long—can travel through water for
approximately six miles at a max­
imum speed of 30 miles an hour
before their power is spent. If
adjusted for a shorter distance,
however, the same torpedo will
travel for one, two or three miles
at a speed of 40 miles or better
an hour.—Pathfinder.

A FLAIR tor satin has developed 1
** that extends throughout the en­
tire program of fall and winter fash­
ions. Not only is its smartness rec­
ognized but women are rediscov­
ering how marvelous satin of pure
silk dye feels in the wearing. It
has even come to be regarded as an
enthusiastically
accredited
year-
round fabric.
Satin is being importantly used in
the realm of costume design in com­
bination with other materials as in
the styling of fashionable bolero and
long-coat ensembles The vogue for
satin also reflects in everything
from hats to shoes, bags, gloves
and countless other accessory items.
Ever so chic are long satin eve­
ning wraps in black or colors.
Designers who know, declare that
the satins they handle must neces­
sarily be of the pure-silk type in
order to arrive at the lovely effects
in shirring, draping and general ma­
nipulation achieved in the stunning
modes illustrated. Then too. they
point out the economy and practi­
cality of all-silk satin in that it
wears so satisfactorily, cleans so
beautifully and proves up to the
mark from every test angle.
A style-distinctive version of that
ever-perennial favorite, the white
satin blouse, is shown above to the
left in the group pictured. Its fit­
ted midriff accords with an out­
standing fashion trend. Tucks start­
ing at the diagonal yoke seam are
released into soft bust fullness. The
hat worn with it is an artful transla­
tion of the Suzy fisherwoman sailor.
Jeweled buttons down the front

gowns fashioned of satin is evi­

In the inset panel we
are showing a satin dinner-dance
gown that demonstrates the exqui­
site grace with which satin yields
to soft draping effects. A new han­
dling in the side drape gives a de­
cidedly up-to-the-minute aspect to
this gown so artfully created by
Kiviette. noted American designer.
A long panel back, also the V-neck
decolletage, are intriguing details.
Some very good-looking long-coat
costume suits include a blouse of
satin matched to the color of the
cloth that makes the coat and skirt.
Especially outstanding is the all­
black ensemble that tops the satin
blouse with long coat or bolero that
is handsomely braided. With a cos­
tume suit of this description the
program of dress for daytime wear
is aptly solved in a flattering way.
