Estimated cost is pure guess work because of the varying cost of different types of planes but _an outlay of a half billion dollars should not be surprising. It may be considerably more but it is _not likely to be a great deal less. Not only must the planes be bought but many of them will have ‘to be replaced by different force. The present air force av- erages 10 men to a plane, even at eight men to a plane, the new} program would mean an air force of 80,000, half the size of the whole army at present. The |? 1938 ‘airforce is 20,000 men and officers: Exciting reports have come from Berlin as to the potentiality of the.German mass production of airplanes. It is generally ex- pected that President Roosevelt will make public some of them to bolster his proposals to Con- gress. Output Possibilities Uncertain There *is conflicting informa- tien ~available as to how fast present factory equipment in the United States can put 10,- 000 planes in the air. The air- craft yearbook published by the Aeronautical Chamber of Com- merce — quite authoritative—re- ports United States aircraft pro- ductien in 1937 as follows: Commercial 2281. . Military 949. Export 629. That is not nearly capacity pro- x MOD POPPI TT PP TTT TE GEIST . ae. aI eT, DR. WM. P. | a cei aes etal ate that the} OF 10,000 PLANES duction.

A thousand = manufacturing! plants contribute one or more of the 5,000 different types of parts that go into manufacture of a modern fighting plane. A slow- down in any one would create a bottleneck and throttle the speed of the whole. Conflicting Military Views There is real conflict within military ranks about such a jhuge air arm as seems contem- plated. The “elderly generals} jand admirals” are bitteriy op- | posed to an unbalanced swing in a weapon untested in war as a) major tool of defense. But it is known here that Assistant Secre- | tary Johnson is nearest to the ear | of the president and he is all for the big air fleet, evidently back- | ed by Malin Craig, Army chief of , sta: Some members of congress, in- | cluding influential Senator Borah, | have referred to the air armada Proposal as “hysterical.” But the Navy whooped up a billion dollar program last spring on the strength of the Japanese menace and it should not be surprising if tales from Munich should per- suade congress to go along in the air, balanced budget or no.
