There is a gimmick in that. Production is on schedule more because of repeated downward revisions of goals than because of upward trends in aircraft out put. That is called making the schedules "realistic." Defense Department officials War Relief Funds Solicited Here A goal of $35,000 has teen set for the 1952 Bishop's Fund for the Victims of War in west ern Oregon this year, it was an nounced this week by Catholic Charities of Portland. Residents of Medford wishing to participate in the fund drive may send or take cash contri butions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Roman Catholic church, according to the Very Rev. John M. Berger, pastor. Checks should be made payable to the "Bishop's Fund." The appeal is sponsored by the Bishops' Emergency Relief committee and War Relief Serv ices of the National Catholic Welfare conference. The money will send overseas foodstuffs, medical supplies, clothing and blankets for the relief of those most in need, of any race, creed or cplor. The aid reaches 63 countries. admit that Russia is turning out more war planes than this coun try. Soviet production is cur rently estimated at about 1,000 planes a month nearly all of them combat types. Complaints about the lag in U. S. production are rising in both Houses of Congress. Investigators are fetching in reports to the Senate Prepared ness committee about airplanes standing around the country un delivered for want of engines and parts. Committee Chairman Lyndon B. Johnson, D-Tex., will open an investigation on March 31 of the slow rate of air power expansion and his spokesmen call it the group's "number one priority" for this year. Failure Noted Rep. Overton Brooks, second ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services committee, said in a House speech that warplane production has "failed dismally." The Louisiana congressman used the word "collapse" to describe jet plane production. Industry and military sources thought that too strong. They also thought Brooks' "guess" that the United States is producing 1,000 jet types a year was pretty much on the low side. Production now is rising to ward a peak of 1,250 planes a month for all services at the end of 1953. The goal was 1.800 a month prior to the administra tion decision early this year to "stretch out" the rearmament program. The decision put off for a year to the end of 1955 attainment of a 143-wing Air Force.
