W. G.. POTTER TO HEAD
AIRPLANE PRODUCTION
Virtual Displacement of Present Board
Understood to Be Solution of
the Middle

Washington, April l0.--Virtusl dis,
placement of the aircraft production
board and appointment of William c.
Potter of New York, formerly with the
Guggenheim interests, to direct the pro.
duction of airplanes is understood here
to be the solution of the airplane muddle.
The president has authority to abolish
the board, but probably will not exercise
it, as to do so would be to humiIiate the
board and admit too great dissatisfac-
tion with its work. Bernard NJ, Baruch,
chairman of the war industries board, Is
known to favor a change in the methods
of airplane construction, and such an
organization as win leave to military
officers the duty of fighting and to the
civilians the task Of supplying them
with munitions, The proposed plan also
would relieve of much OF his response
bilities Major General George O. Squier,
chief of the signal service. Mr. Potter
for some time has assisted the purchas-
ing department of the aircraft produc-
tion board.
