PAGE NTNT5 T OF PLANES, ARMS, Knudsen Reveals Plans to Step Up Bomber Produc tion to 500 Per Month Harvard's Hooton Doubles Bard on 7 Ages of Man Washington, May 23 Author 1 1 a t i v e congressional sources declared today that the Office of Production Manage ment hat been urging the war department to almost double Its $6,500,000,000 estimates for the year ahead, to permit a tre mendous new expansion In pro duction of bombers, tanks and other arms. William S. Knudsen, OPM di rector, announced one step to ward increasing the nation's and Britains' aerial striking force when he disclosed yester day that four new contracts were being negotiated to step up production of long-range four-motored heavy bombers to SOO a month. - Four Million Armr Coal At the same time, Jesse Jones, federal loan administrator, allo cated $650,000,000 to construct new government-owned air plane, aluminum and magnes ium plants. Magnesium and aluminum are widely used in the manufacture of defense goods, particularly airplanes. Capping those two develop ments, well-informed legislators said army officers had told them the OPM was advocating that the war department appropria tion bill for the year starting July 1 be increased by $4,000, 000,000 or $5,000,000,000 to fi nance a vastly expanded bomb er and tank output and to pro vide all equipment for a 4,000.-000-man army. Sidney Hillman, associate OPM director, said in New York last night that although the present defense program calls for an outlay of $42,000,000,000, "further and vaster sum will probably have to be expended." Equipment For 2.000.000 At present, the army's pro gram calls for 1,418,000 men in training by June 30 and for pro vision of full equipment for 2,000,000 men. Congress voted approximately $750,000,000 earlier this year to provide the productive facilities required to turn out sufficient arms and ma terial to maintain a 4,000,000 man ground force on a combat status. The air corps Is engaged on a 21.000-plane program for which contracts already have been let and which, with the navy and British-aid contracts requires an annual capacity of about 36,000 planes. Defense production sources recently dis closed that the need for heavy bombers had increased to such an extent that a productive ca pacity of 80,000 planes yearly was under consideration. Boston (U.PJ Shakespeare i wrote of the seven ages of man, but Prof. Ernest A. Hooton, not-j ed Harvard anthropologist, has decided that medically speak ing there are at least 14 ages. And he doesn't approve. Each age stands for a differ ent medical specialist, according to Hooton, and the person who gets through life consulting only 14 specialists "has never been anywhere nor seen anything." He only had a "cheap excursion and no luxury cruise." Hooton starts off his "patho logical ages of man" with the obstetrician who presides over our destiny from conception to birth" and ends with the cardi ologist (No. 14) who "broods over our arteriosclerosis, hyper tension, or what not, until we get a coronary thrombosis and are passed on to the mortician." The latter is given a number by Hooton, who is author of the controversial book, "Up from the Ape." Following the obstetrician In Hooton's list is the pediatrician, "who bewails our thumb-sucking and concocts our feeding formu lae," the dentist and the otolar yngologist, wno extracts our tonsils and adenoids. No. 5 on his twit parade is the optician. Hooten thinks that "before we learn to read (he) convicts us of strabismus, nys tagmus, myopia, hvpermetropia. astigmatism, or aniseikonia, and sentences us to spectacles for life." From the optician. It Is only a short step to the pedophychiat- rist who tries to cure our Oedi pus complex. Hooton says. And then comes the orthodontist, who straightens our teeth. Now with the approach of ado lescence, "the abdominal sur geon catches us with a persistent stomach ache and does an appen dectomy." Acne, hay-fever, hives, eczema and digestive insurrenc tion move In with adolescence, Hooton says, and that attracts the allergist. He scratches and injects, "ulti mately demonstrating that we can wear nothing but silk, eat nothing but spinach and breathe only during stated seasons. By this time our feet are flat and our backs ache ... so that the orthopedic surgeon (No. 10) puts us in a straight-jacket and pre scribes corrective exercises which we do not do ... " With maturity comes matri mony and the psychoanalyst. He "delves into our dreams, the er rors of our upbringing and the cesspools of our subconscious minds, and untangles the old- hard, granny-knots In our per sonality, so that we decide to get divorce." Next comes the gynecologist and the diagnostician "who tests our endocrine balance and finds that it does not possess even an unstable equilibrium" and finally the cardiologist. Hooton gave his version of the ages of man in a lecture called "Hip, Hip, Hippocrates' or an Anthropological cheer for medical science." He told the American College of Physicians that "as long as medical science consists mainly of disconnected, ex post facto patchings by isolated specialists, working mainly in ignorance of the patiu.i's past ... we may lock for no general Improve ment of total human quality. "At best we may expect skill ful and efficient repair work upon discrete parts as they suc cessively or simultaneously get out of kilter." I ine omcert are as ioiiowi: I.U.U.F.
