More Than s Billions
In Defense Contracts
Have Been Cleared
Army Says Sl,102,737.930
Worth of Planes, Guns
And Equipment Ordered

By the Associated Press.
Donald M. Nelson, co-ordinator of
defense purchases, reported last
night that the Defense Commission
had cleared contracts totaling more
than s6,0OO,000,0OO.
"This amount exceeds by 300 per
cent" he said, contract awards for
any entire year of peacetime mill
tary procurement" Such divergent
products as shoes, ships and ma
chinery for manufacturing tanks
were represented in the total. De-
livery dates were not announced.
Meanwhile, the War Department
announced that Army orders for
warplanes. guns and other weapons
and equipment totaled S11O2, ,737 $50
in the two and one half months
up to September a.
The summary was made public
last night after Secretary Stimson,
presenting general picture of
what we have been doing since the
collapse of France" said that e,174
Army warplanes had been ordered
since July l of the 1854 for which
Congress has provided funds at
this session.
Production Problem Met.
Of the total contracts between
July l and September IA, $600,717,-
1875 represented Ordance Depart
ment orders, S223,013,792 Quarter
master Corps contracts, and $685.
571,686 orders for Air Corps planes
and equipment.
Outlining in a radio address some
of the problems involved in the
huge purchasing program, Mr.. Mel
son said the broadest was fitting
military defense requirements to
productive capacity with a minimum
of interference with normal business.
To that end, he said, the Govern
ment was endeavoring to utilize off,
season production.
I'VE have found" he explained,
"in several Observation-Disclosures, for
example-that it has been possible
to dovetail the military program
into production for civilian require
ments by utilizing plant facilities
that we're idle or nearly so because
Of seasonal demands for the product.
Specifications Changed.
"In addition, placing orders for
military requirements in slack times
reduces the overhead of the plant
by employing its facilities at a
higher level of capacity. This. in
turn. results In lower prices both
for civilian consumers and the Gov
eminent"
Mr.. Nelson said the Government
Evening star., 1940-09-20

also was making its specifications
conform as nearly as possible to
commercial standards so that ex-
listing productive machinery could
be used.
In that connection, he related
that on one occasion a single in
dividual had virtually cornered the
market for an item desired by the
Army. 1t appeared, he said, that
the Army might have to meet his
price, but a slight change in specifi-
cations was made and the Army got
a satisfactory product at fair
price.
Mr.. Nelson said attention also
was given to areas of unemploy-
ment in letting contracts.

The war in Europe has made de-
Signers go in for fashions that
combine practically and smart
ness. Not even the most frivolous
woman would want to be caught
in an air raid shelter in a hat so
big that it filled the place Amer
ican women, who fortunately don't

love these little chapeaux, too, be-
cause they are so convenient when
motoring, travelling either by train

are bound to be this years favo-

And now is the time to give your
spirits a mental pickup by getting
a hat that looks both gay and
springy.
The three models in the above
photographs are charming exam
pies of the latest things being
shown now.
QUILTED CREPE HAT
Jane Gilbert has selected a flat
crowned, -brimmed sailor
made of quilted powder blue crepe
and trimmed with a navy blue vel
vet bandeau bow and a navy face
veil showing powder blue ch6lhle
dots. 4l
Ann Rutherford has bought a
hat that she calls ''take-off''. 1t is
a sailor made of imported hand
made mantille braid. The color is
sky blue trimmed with huge con-
trasting bow of garden pink felt.
The spring bonnet worn by Vir-
ginia Frey is guaranteed to breathe
new life into anybody's wardrobe.
1t was designed by G.. Howard
Hodge, and is lovely example OF
the new tight-fitting skull cap. It
is made Of black felt and has two
outstanding wired felt ears, and is
circled by layers of white silk
straw. Fine net embroidered with
yarn daisies cascades to below the
shoulder veil and it is both be-
coming and feminine. This is a hat
that we feel sure will win approval
from any gentleman with half an
eye for the ladies
