Lawrence Statement
Found Erroneous

In the description of the airplane
crash and in the biographical
sketches of the victims in yester-
days paper a Maj. Lawrence" of
the War Department was quoted as
having said he was half tempted" to
ask Miss Dorothy Beer, his secre-
tary and one of the victims, to get
OIL the plane when he observed 1t

publication, a check was made on
the fact that the plane did return
to the airport. The Star, however,
was unable to locate the Maj. Law

Today it was learned Miss Beer
was the secretary of Maj. Walter E.

Defense Program
MAY HaIve JobIess
BY the Associated Press.

-
Administration economists made
a Labor Day prediction today that
the national defense program, with
CONSUMPTION included, would cut I'M
employment in half by next July l,
reducing the number of jobless from
5000, 900 to 4,500,0o0.
They said they expected gradual,
sustained pickup in industrial en-
ployment to provide jobs for more
than 100000 men In the next 10
months. Mobilization of the Ma
tional Guard and the Inauguration
of conscription-assuming favorable
congressional action on the latter
score-would account for another
1000, 900 reduction in unemployment
by late spring, they estimated.
In the case Of compulsory military
training, the jobless total may be
reduced both by CONSUMPTION of I'M
employed youths and by the hiring
of men without work to I'LL Jobs
vacated by employed conscripts.
Manufacture Of uniforms and
equipment for the trainees Is ex-
pected to employ thousands. Plane
factories. shell plants, tank manu-
featuring and scores of other indus
tries are listed as new employment
opportunities.
Some Of the new Jobs may be in
lunch counters, department stores
and other businesses, which, al
though having no direct connection
with defense, will need more help to
handle the patronage of the added
defense workers.
The administration estimates on
the prospective decrease In unem-
ployment were based on q Budget
Bureau forecast that the Govern
ment would spend IS 600 900 900 in
cash for defense purposes and close
contracts for billions more by next
July l. The Budget Bureau figures
that total Federal expenditures this
year, including 81 400 900 900 for
relief, viii reach S17 ,05s ,ooo, 900, com.

Defense Heads Expect
Jump in Plane Output
BY the Associated Press,

~ sle 1ssOSidteo -ICSS.
The National Defense Commits
sion yesterday reported "tremen-
dous activity" on the industrial pre-
paredness front and said plane pro-
duction should increase by so per
cent by the end of this year.
What a so per cent increase in
production would mean was gagged
by President Roosevelt's statement
to reporters last week that actual
deliveries of military. aircraft were
now averaging about 300 a month.
Mr.. Roosevelt said deliveries would
reach an annual rate of 10000 be-
fore August was over and an an
nual rate of $4,000 to $4,000 by next
January l.
The commission said that Will
liam S. Knudsen, its production
chief, had reported after a two
week flying inspection Of major air.
craft facilities that the aircraft
manufacturers are showing prog
ress."
New plants are under construc-
ton and employment in industry
rising rapidly" the commission re-
port continued. There is tremen-
dous activity. Plane production
should increase by so per cent by
the end of 1910. Right now work
is under way to coordinate the de-
mands of the Army and Navy to
avoid confusion and speed up pro-
duction."
Reviewing developments of the
last week, the report said large
increases were made in reserve sup
plies Of raw materials vital to this
defense.
Arrangements were made to in
crease the stock pile of rubber by
10000 tons, bringing the reserves
arranged for in this particular COM
modify up to $4,000 tons. Over
three-quarters of the stock pile of
manganese has already been ar
ranged for. Various other strategic
materials are flowing into the coun-
try every day, insuring the Nation
against shortages in case of emer-
gency."

port Of labor, industry, agriculture
and all other groups to that end.
II also promise" he continued, "tc
arrest the present trend toward
placing labor unions under Govern.

The statement of that great la
Dor leader, Samuel Gompers. What
the Government gives, the Govern

pertinent at the present time. We
must rely upon the compulsion OF
the law only as last extremity.

dent recently had called the docu-
ment as obsolete and historical as
a Civil War report.
