WASHINGTON, March 15.-Ameri-

sdeduate air protection OF the sectors
then held by American troops. This
statement rests on the highest author
it7. and was made tonight with full
recognition O. al failures and disap-
poin.ments that have hampered the de q.
velopment of the air programme.
Figures on the aviation situation. as
vel as facts and figures on every other
branch Of the government war prepa-
rations, were laid today before virtual
" the fu.l membership of the House
Military Committee. as yesterday thew
were disclosed TO the Senate committee
Acting Secretary Crowell again pre-
sided at the session in the rooms of
the War Council at the War Depart
ment, where the new policy of taking
Of the executive branch of the govern
men was launched.
Better Team Work Expected
The comment of Representative
Kahn, OF California, ranking Repub-
lean member OF the House commit
tee, expressed the sentiment of the
House members on the new policy
He said it means team work by the
whole government on the enormous
problems that face it. The figures re-
vealed 20 the committee, the imme-
date, current demands of the war pro-
sramme ard the progress being made
in meeting them. he added, made 1t
clear that the country was still un-

Shortage Wrongly Calculated
Il was disclosed 20 the committee
members that the aviation programme
is far shor- OF what had been hoped
for. Figures estimating that def
ciency in percentage that have been
quoted, however. were shown to be
wrong. No such method Of calcula-
ton has beer evolved. The actual de-
lay can be figured only in point Of
time.
The airplane production programme
in the United States is to-day sub
s-antiaHy sixty days behind what had
been hoped for by the most sanguinc
officials. The foreign contracts which
were TO haze provided the initial fight
ing ecu ipnient for General Pershing's
air forces -,are still further behind
There is every prospect. however. that
some Of the delay will be made up.
Even shoald the sixty days lost time
stand. however, and even though there
should be 20 deliveries on the Eu

receive 4 considerable number of Amer

5000 STATIONS TO

Eight thousand stations for the

National Chairman Frank Van

headquarters at Portland to the ef-
feet that 1000. 900 such stations are
to be established throughout the
country during the month of Janu-
AIRY. and Oregon will lose no time in
doing her part. The plan is to have
a sales station for every 100 OF pop

stamp to help win the war will be-
come matter of daily routine un-
til the habit OF thrift" becomes a
national characteristic, just as 1t is
in France.
French statesmen, moreover, de-
clare that it is in fact the thriftness
of the French people that has made
possible the republics stand against
the inhumaneness of the Hun.
Charles N. Wonacott, associated
director of the thrift campaign in
Oregon, declares himself we'll salts

ing. Every man, woman, and
child in Oregon" said Mr.. Wona-
colt, must help us put over Uncle
Sans new two billion dollar baby
bond issue. Oregon's share Is $17,-
100000 and 1t means an average
daily sale of $4,000 worth Of
stamps to meet the requirement.
That means a good many 'two-bit'
pieces, but we have them and II they
go for thrift stamps instead Of for
wasteful extravagances, we will
come out with flying colors."
