Johnson, an 81-year-old chimney sweep of Southampton, England, always wears a white uniform, and yet he never gets black. He claims to have discovered, after three years’ work and thought, the secret of sweeping sooty chimneys without mak- ing a mess. Our New "FAM!LY BUDGET PLAN” enables you to pay over a period of months other air powers, the United States has flung a cloak of secrecy around the progress of its extensive naval aviation building program. F Navy officials said yesterday the = move was made at the urging of the Naval Intelligence Office, which has| = met some difficulty in obtaining data on the composition of foreign sky fleets. E By withholding information which hitherto has been available to the |& public, they said, the Navy is in a | position to use it for trading facts X and figures with other governments. As a result, the department is hold- ing in the strictest confidence all in- formation as to how rapidly the build- ing program will be pressed during the \ present fiscal year, the number of | ships to be completed, types and dates of deliveries of aircraft, and the pres- ent number of Naval pilots and planes in first-class fighting condition. Details Guarded Abroad. Navy spokesmen declined to say | whether they were eager to obtain | information from any particular ‘ foreign government. They pointed out that virtually every other nation | carefully guards details of its air pro- | gram. | Characteristics of warships have been concealed for a long time, and there have been frequent reports that these, too, have been used to a limited | extent for swapping with other powers. The Navy and Army have an agree- ment, not always rigidly enforced, that details and pictures of new air- lanes must be kept from the public until the ships have been in setvice a | year. | 2 In its broad outlines, however, the | airplane plan has been known | - time. It contemplates 1,910 raft in operation by the time the program to construct a treaty Navy is concluded in 1942. Congress appropriated $26.715,660 for the current fiscal year for up-to- the-minute planes and equipment and authorized contracts up to $6.590.000 additional to be appropriated when heeded. Below Navy Request. That total of $33.305.660 was £7.405.027 less than the Navy sought, officials said. The Navy wanted $40,710,687 to pro- vide 282 planes to replace those lost by obsolescence or accidents and 273 additions to the air force.
