Representatives of Manufacturers
of both airplanes and parts were
attempting to coordinate a construc-
ton program. repeatedly designed
to give the United States undisput-
ed air supremacy in five years.
There was no official confirma-
ton of the private meetings. which
began here Monday. Todays meet
ing was the third conference of
the week
Government and aircraft officials
declined to comment on the con-
ferences. But it was understood in
Informed quarters that a program
is being prepared for reaching Am
ericaS goal of more than 10000
first line fighting and bombing
planes in three to five years.
Such a program would involve
vast expansion of the aircraft man
ufacturing industry. With present
production facilities, it was under
stood, the air strength objective
probably could not be reached for
at least six or seven years.
The United States at present has
about $500 first line planes. includ-
ing both the army and navy air
armadas. The cost of building the
additional $500 planes, it was in
dlcated in military quarters. prob

Criticism of testimony given the
committee by Mrs Alice Lee Jaml-
son, Washington representative OF
the American Indian Federation,
was made today by John Collier,
commissioner of Indian affairs.
Mrs. JamiSon charged that nine
high officials of the interior depart
ment's force of Indian affairs were
sympathetic to Communism. She
based her charges on membership OF
the officials in the American Civil
Liberties union. Dies called atten-
ton to previous testimony that the
union was a front" for Commu-
niSm.
Collier said that he hoped more
than nine officials in the office
of Indian affairs were members of
the union" He said that Mrs. Jami-
sons organization was a trouble
making outfit and pro-NaZi".
As far as the Civil Liberties un-
ion is concerned he said, lit is
eminently American, d-fashioned
American. You can't say that for
Mrs. Jamison's organization, which
l understand is pro Nazi. Naturally
pro-Nazi organization does not
approve of the Civil Liberties union
which believes in American prin-
ciples.'

Mystery Of
Vanishing Pennies
Goes Unexplained
CONTINUED From Page y

Most probable explanation was
volunteered by John Rhodes, chief
clerk at the Bank Of America in Ell
Centro.
I'VE ordinarily take in more pen
MES than we pay out and frequently
sell to the Security First National.
I don't know why there should be a
difference between the two banks
in the amount of coppers turned in,
although our school savings ac-
counts bring in some.
1T is possible that penny vending
machines may be the answer. l
know of one concern that operates
weighing machines in Ell Centro and
banks in CdleXico. Therefore. the
Calexico branch has more pennies
than it needs. Other penny ma
chine operators may carry pennies
out of the valley or to other banks
outside Ell Centro."
