 Approval by Congress of plans for the maintenance of plants at East Springfield, Mass, and Detroit, will be sought at the coming session, Acting Secretary Crowell announced in mak- ing the plans public. The Chicago plant, he explained, will be used for the storage of machinery.
 'It is not expected,' MT. Crowell said, sto operate production plants, but merely to hold them as standby plants To meet the needs of peace-t time manu- fracture and to manufacture new types of artillery material, the arsenals will be held equipped for the production or all calibres and types of material.
 '"To obviate the delay of getting into production, and to provide skilled workmen to be transferred in case Of necessity to other plants there will be built up at the arsenals small produc- tion units for each type and calibre Of material These units will include the least number of all types of machines practical to install and will be used from time to time for the manufacture of small quantities of artillery ma terial.''
 "Old Hickory" arsenal at Nashville, Tenn, win be held as standby ar senal for the manufacture of smoke less powder. It will not be operated in time of peace. but will be main tained in condition for operation when needed. This plant has ca pacity of 900.OOOo pounds of smokeless powder per day.
