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."

They expect to let the turkeyt

with the protection of a herder.
The fowls, being purchased
from Mrs. H. E. Hammel nenr

great Interest, and large num
