WASHINGTON, Nov. (UP)-
The administration probably will
ask congress next year for funds
to boost the regular army and navy
to full time strength as part
of a national defense program that
may cost $3,000,000,000 in 1941.
This years defense budget was
about $2,000,000,00
High-ranking army officials al
ready have urged regular army
of 100000 men, the complete peace
time authorization, and a national
guard of 100000 men, compared
with the statutory $4,000 limit, to
provide an enlarged initial pro-
tective force.
The navy, it was believed, may
seek to have its las, 5,000-man au-
thorization increased to the full
time limit of 1911 900 men.
Officials contend that substantial
personnel increase is essential to
meet expanding naval activity Gre
ated by the European war.
Through Chairman Carl Vinson,
D., Ga, of the House naval affairs
committee, the administration al
ready has announced that it will
seek approval of new $1,300,00
600 naval expansion program at the
regular session of congress. In

carry the expeditions-the North
Star and the Bear-are having the
finishing touches put on. With
fingers crossed. the expedition
hopes that the North Star will be
able to leave Boston around Nov.
and that the Bear will follow
about a week later.
In the meantime, they have to
pack aboard some 20 tons of food,
two army tanks. four airplanes
(perhaps five) a 22-ton snow crui-
ser and 140 dogs, not to mention
coal and clothing and -fabri-
Gated buildings.
This expedition is expected to
be a more comfortable one than
the last one. For one thing, they
won't have to eat bacon rind to
keep warm as did the last polar
expedition because their food lacked
sufficient fat content. This time
scientists have developed a pemmi-
can mixture which contains about
20 ingredients and has almost a
so per cent fat content.
A second improvement will be
the use of double floors in this
expeditions Antarctic quarters.
Last time, the crew complained
that they couldn't keep their feet
warm.

BABSON PARK, Mass, Nov. 8.
Business last month was the best
for any October in ten years. The
United States has experienced one
of the most sensational boomletS
in its history in the last two months.
Figures gathered from all over the
country. which I found on my desk
on my return from the Far East,
tell spectacular story. Business is
now % per cent above a year ago
and within two per cent of the 1887
peak!
I can hardly believe that business
has scared so rapidly. Yet, the fig
ures which I have at hand do not
lie. They show that textile mills,
automobile factories, machine tool
shops. steel mills, railroads. power
plants, lumber camps. and ship
yards are bristling with activity
When / sailed out of the Golden
Gate on August 25. the temperature
of business was 81 according to my
Babsonchart. Today it is ll2o COM
pared with the 1887 high of ll4o
and the 1929 all-time peak of 1922.
Freight Gains Spectacular
Here are the facts concerning the
nations leading industries:
I'd Textiles: Cotton mills have
boosted schedules Is per cent in
the past eight weeks woolen fac
tories are operating day and night.
The rayon industry has shot ahead.
The textile industry as a whole,
while not the most active of the
nations monster businesses, is
flirting with its 1897 highs.
t2) Railroads: A spectacular in
crease has taken place in railroad
traffic. Weekly freight car load
ings have jumped to 835.000 from
$4,000 in the Labor Day week. With
the exception of one or two weeks
in 1887, railroad traffic is the high
est since the lush days of a decade
ago. This tremendous increase in
the transportation of goods simply
means that there has been a huge
gain in the amout of business being
transacted.
CD Automobiles: This is nor
mally the season when automobile
assembly lines speed up, so the rise
N weekly motor output from $4,000
cars before Labor Day to around
$1,000 at present breaks no records.
New car sales are reported to be ex-
ceptionally good and motor makers
are boosting their production sche-
dulles faster than is customary.
f4 Building: Latest figures on
home building show splendid gain
late summer and 80 per cent step
up over year ago. Moreover, the
building upswing has injected new
life into the lumber camps, where
orders are running far ahead OF
both the "cut" and shipments.
