ceipts were on the moderate order
for a Monday, estimate calling for

Washington. July 1.-THE war de-
partment bill appropriating s640 1000
600 for construction Of $1,000 airplanes
was passed by the house without a roll

details.
Secretary Daniels announced that he
has under consideration the establish
ment of a government factory for the
manufacture of aircraft and aircraft
parts.
If a government plant Is built 1t
will be comparatively small, represent
ing perhaps not more than $1,000, 900
investment at the beginning, and will
be operated largely to furnish accurate
data on cost of production.
The bill, which now goes to the sen
ate. gives no details. but a total per-
sonnet of the aviation section approx
mating 10000 men Is understood to
be contemplated. Broad discretionary
powers are vested In the president.

that II the information was of any
