44.Mi||ion Research Cost

American manufacturers of air.
planes, engines and propellers have
spent $4,000 900 in research and de-
velopment work during the last five
years, according to the results of a
survey announced today by John H.
Jouett, president of the Aeronautical
Chamber of Commerce.
The research program, Mr.. Jouett
said, has cost the industry SO per
cent more than its net profit for the
f1ve-year period.
The need for additional research
has been characterized by Federal
aviation leaders. among them Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, as vital d, to
American security and aeronautical
parity with European countries
which have tremendously expanded
their research programs.
"As result of the industry's
heavy investment in technical de-
velopment." Mr.. Jouett said, "it has
continued to produce airplanes of
recognized superiority throughout
the world. That is evidenced by the
large volume of sales abroad, despite
the most intense kind of competi-
ton from some foreign industries
which have been aided by their own
governments with liberal subsidies
and credits"
