Plans to Stondordize
Plant Operations
~ the Associated Press.

New expedients were enlisted to-
day to step up the production OF
warplanes for both the United States
and Great Britain.
Plans were disclosed for the stand
ardization of manufacturing opera
tions in plants turning out aircraft
of almost similar types for the two
countries and a four-man commit
tee was appointed to work for q
faster output.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau revealed late yesterday that
henceforth some of the warplanes
being turned out for this country
and Britain would be constructed
identical in every detail. Both as a
speed-up measure and also in the
interest OF better product.
1t was made clear. however, that
the planes would be identical only in
fuselage and similar construction.
The Standardization would not ex-
tend to accessories, so that specially
developed American devices or
equipment would not be involved.
Four Are Chosen.
Mr. Morgenthau also announced
that President Roosevelt had named
him. Secretary of the Navy Knox,
Secretary Of War Stimson and Will
liam S. Knudsen, the Defense Com
mission production specialist, to a
special committee which would
work "on very informal basis" with
the aircraft industry to see whether
production could not be smoothed
out where Army, Navy and Britain
all had contracts with a single plant.
The new speedup steps followed
within a few days of the Army's re-
quest to aircraft plants to go on q
24-hour "a day basis to boost de-
liveries.
Mr.. Morgenthau pointed out yes
terday that both Army and Navy al
ready have had the benefit of Brit
ish experience in standardizing de-
signs and have asked Britain for 10

today soon after news of Italian
entry into the war.

left is for the tourist trade, which

CITY WILL SEEK
HOSPITAL TRACT
Campbell And Marshall tt
Make Arrangements For
Purchase OF Land

William B. Campbell, city at
torney, and Alan A.. Marshall, as
sistant city attorney, will 60 to
Washington tonight in an ef.
fort to make arrangements for
the city of Wilmington to purchase
from the federal government a us
acre tract of land lying between
Church and Castle streets, and be-
Ann street and a line between
tween Eighth street and Tenth
street, it was learned yesterday.
The property, known as the Ma
r1ne Hospital site, has been sug-
gested as a site for a new armory
for two national guard units here
if the city decides to erect such a
building through the aid of WPA.
The present armory has been con-
demned by the federal government
and the units using it have been
notified they must secure better
quarters.
W. Louis Fisher, city commits
sioner Of public works, said yester-
day that congress some years ago
passed a bill allowing the sale Of the
property to the city for $15,0 00.
But the lowest price at which
it has ever been offerd to us has
been $40, 000," he said.
Campbell and Marshall will 60
to Washington in an effort to get
a price of SIS, 900 set on the prop
erty. Securing Of the property by
the city would not necessarily
mean an armory will be construct
ed there, they pointed out.
Decision to send the attorneys
to Washington was reached recent
ly at a meeting Of the city COM
m%issioners, representatives of the
national guard units and the two
attorneys.
The property is now held by the
treasury department. through the
department of public health, which
used the property during the World
War as a Marine hospital.
