Horton told the press.
Most of the planes involved in this
program have to be built in new
and additional facilities in the Amer
lean aircraft industry, the President
was informed.
The industry now is running at
capacity and must expand to satisfy
the program. The R. F. C. has made
available 100000 900 in loan money
for that
In the latter half of this year. the
report went on. the Army and Navy
expect deliveries of 1900 planes and
$500 more in the first half of l94l.

persons were suspected of being Ger
man agents.
There was testimony in Kansas
City, he said, that former member
Of the Communist Central Commit
tee had helped blow up a power line
under Communist orders, hating the
operation of an important factory.
The man was indicted, he said, but
the charge later was dismissed.
Seeks Records of Nazis.
Mr.. Dies said he was subpoenaing
the records of Hans Alderman,
whom he identified as the editor
Of German-language paper at
Taylor, Tex. He already had OBJ
tanned from Alderman, he said, a
very large and confidential file
containing signatures and letters
from German Consuls and repre-
sentatiyes and American citizens
who are acting as Nazi agents"
The details are being withheld
from publication, he said, in defer
ence to the wishes of the State
Department"
The New York hearings will take
up the whole subject of Nazi propa-
ganda.
Stephen Birmingham, chief inves-
tigator for the Dies Committee,

sible to contract for planes to fill out
the present program, Mr.. Horton
added, until Congress passed the de-
tense bill.
The Defense Commission report
was made public at time when
congressional critics contended the
defense program was begging down.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, Of
Michigan made such a statement
last night and asked for an investi-
cation. Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia said only 343 combat planes
days. p7''t
200 Expected by Year End
In the report to the White House
1t was pointed out that in the latter
half of this year the Army and
Navy expect delivery of 1900 planes.
In addition to the alleged slow
ness with which Congress is pro-
ceeding, another factor in delay
blamed by the report was that all
military plane building contracts in
effect June % have had to be re-
written.
The plane orders given before that
date granted the manufacturers the
maximum II per cent profit allowed
by the Vinson- Trammell Act. A
law signed June % lowered this
maximum to 8 per cent for con-
tracts won on bids and to per cent
on contracts awarded by negotia-
ton.
The report stressed that it is
necessary to build training planes
to prepare the thousands of new
pilots who will be needed to fly
the combat planes projected for
Americas widely expanded military
machine.
Mr.. Horton, who brought the re-
port to Stephen Early, White House
secretary, for transmission to the
President, said:
If we do not have training planes,
there is no use in getting the COM
bat planes"
Treasury Figures Used.
Mr.. Horton said that the report
was based on Treasury Department
figures. The report said that on
August II the untitled orders of
Army planes contracted for came to
1916 including 2,029 combat and OBJ
servation planes and 1887 other
types of planes, primarily training.
For the Navy, on August II the
untitled plane orders contracted for
covered 1921 combat and observa-
ton ships and 1,610 other types,
chiefly training-a total of 1881.
The report compared the statistics
with the situation as of June 2.

Youths will Face
Lineup for Possible
Robbery Identification
Five Have Served Time
In Reformotory; Others
Are in Their Teens

Twelve youths, seven of them in
their teens, will face lineup in
police headquarters tomorrow night
and more than score of victims of
robberies and purse snatchings will
attempt to identify them.
The five others, in their early 20s,
have served time at the Jessups Cut,
Md, Reformatory. Four were ar
rested last week in a Georgetown
rooming house. Police said that all
five nave been identified by certain
persons who were robbed by them.
The arrests were made after Pvt.
j. G. Maichalick of the sixth pre-
cinct, had arrested one of the group
in the act of breaking into a phar-
macy in the $500 block of Georgia
avenue NV A notebook containing
the names of the others was found
on him, including two who were ar
rested, but released for lack of evil
dance.
Meeting Arranged.
Police, who said the young men
had arranged to meet in Washing
ton after their release from JesSups
Cut, will charge them this week for
number of pocketbook snatchings,
holdups and housebreakings.
The boys in their teens. presum-
ably not connected with the re-
formatory gang. have been picked
up over the week end by third and
seventh precinct police in connec-
ton with wave of purse snatch
ingS.
In another crime last night, John
Edelston of 1886 Seventeenth street
NV, was held up and robbed of
Sc by two colored men while parked
in his automobile on Riverside drive
near Highway Bridge. A woman
companion with him was robbed of
$3.50.
Bag of Tokens Snatched.
Earl w. Woods, bus driver for
the Capital Transit Co., reported
that a colored man snatched his
black leather bag containing $3.50
worth of tokens while he was wait
ing in his bus for passengers at Sew

Senator Byrd told the Senate Sat-

reputedly ordered in the last 100
days had yet been delivered.
Robert Horton, publicity director
of the Defense Commission, who
submitted report based on Treas

On that date contracts had been

the rs days intervening, 248 planes

The report said that money that
became available July provided for
only 4,247 planes for the Army and
3,006 for the Navy. Mr.. Roosevelt
was told that the Army needs funds
for 14,394 planes and the Navy for
4,028 for its current program.
The money to finance the whole

SHORT-SIGHTED

1t is not fitting to sit in judgment on Swe.
den. That government is best situated to de.
termine it's own policy. But it is not pre-.
sumptuous to think that by refusing military
aid to Finland in its dark hour, with the
Russians gaining ground in their attack on
the Mannerheim line, Sweden has taken a
short-sighted step.
If STAINS hordes overrun Finland in vic.
tory, and their numbers and equipment give
them an unmistakable advantage, as their
present advances prove, the belief that they
will next attack Sweden is unacceptable. Not
only STAIN has an eye on Scandinavia. Hit
LET, too, looks that way longingly, and H1r1EB
is not without influence in the Kremlin. He
wants bases in the north from which tc
launch his air and sea attacks against Great
Britain. STAIN covets their rich resources
and ports. Between the two they would make
short work of it, should they combine forces
Finland, with its back to the Mannerhein
line, needs help. By refusing it, and also de
claring that troops from other nations, not
ably England, or possibly France, would moi
be permitted to cross it's soil, Sweden would
seem to have given encouragement to the ma
ton it has most reason to fear.

AND LOANS

Unless the federal treasury can receive fur.
Their payoffs from the government agencies,
the trend of the balance with the reserve
banks seems likely to be downward until in
come taxes are due next month. Over the
last three weeks the treasury's deposit in the
reserve banks has risen $135, 900, 900, owing
primarily to collections of social security
taxes and sales of baby bonds.
If the treasury's balance does begin to re-
cede, excess reserves can hardly be restrained
from rising to new high ground. Surplus re-
serves are now only $4,000, 900 under the rec
ord high of $3.50, OO0, 1000. With gold con-
tinuing to come in at a rate of $50, 900, 900 or
a little better every week, the prospect is
that excess reserves may get up to $780,
600, 900 in the next few weeks. Foreign CEN
trail banks seem averse to letting their bal
ances with the reserve banks fall far under
$400, 00O,0 0O, a level maintained most of the
time since the war broke out.
The seasonal decline in commercial loans
is continuing, but the retreat is a slow one.

in the spring, it is not improbable that COM
mercial loans may begin to rise in the next
few weeks.

NEW

THE claim is made that a hundred parking
L meters in a busy business district will
yield a twelve thousand dollar annual rev.
enue. It is also claimed that they will at
least partially solve a city's parking problem.
Arguments doubtless could be presented
against both, as can be done with all propos-
ais in this vale of contradictory opinions.
computed, or not; whether they solve, or
only complicate the parking problem, is not
so important for present purposes as that
Wilmington needs relief from its parking
difficulties and a new source of revenue is
not to be sneezed at.
Parking meters are still in the experimental
stage and testimony from cities which have
them is so conflicting that no exact estimate
Of their proper place in a city's life can be
formed. But if, upon careful survey, the city
should adopt them, their income might be en-
ployed in financing one or more projects
Wilmington needs.
Fairgrounds, for example. Twelve thousand
dollars a year would go a long way toward
supporting a play program, and there is no
reason to suppose a hundred meters would be
adequate. Five hundred would be nearer the
need should the authorities meterize the cen
trail business section.
A playground program is only an ~illustra-
ton of what a revenue from this source
could do. A sports arena could be financed,
for example. Look the list of Star-News prof.
ects over and note how many of them would
be obtainable this way.
It's really amazing.

GIVE HIM A r

Because they fear his appearance at the
inquiry into un-Americanism would provide
a sounding board for opinions thus far re.
stricted to his radio broadcasts, members of
the DIES committee are quoted as declaring
they will oppose summoning Father COUGH
LIN.
AS the committee has been vociferously
PANIED for offering this coveted privilege to
some OF it's witnesses, the standpoint of the
members is understandable. 1t the same time,
and inasmuch as Father CoUGHL1N is held by
a large section of the population to entertain
views sympathetic with the forces the DIES
committee seeks most to expose, it is to be
doubted that the position is we'll taken.
Denied opportunity to set himself right on
the witness stand, Father CoUGHL1N might
well claim that he is an object of persecu.
ton, and with our we'll known national SYM
pathy for an underdog, gain wider influence
than he has thus far enjoyed.
Furthermore, there has been such confu-
sion on the priests attitude toward the So
called "Christian Front" seventeen of whose
members are under Indictment in New York
for a great variety of plottings. it seems only
fair that he should have a chance to clear
it up. Whether we agree with him or believe
him a menace, the fact remains that he is
in the public eye and mind, and entitled to
his day in court.

ANOTHER ISSUE SETTLED

The republicans have sold their national
convention to Philadelphia for 100000, which
is $4,000 more than Chicago is to pay for
the democratic gathering.
1t is interesting to know how much the
Jingle of coins has to do with deciding this
important matter, but greater interest just
now lodges in the fact that the republicans
went so far as to set a date for their ses.
sion, contrary to the belief of many who
could not think the G. o. P. would break the
long precedent of following democrats and
so gain the advantage of knowing the candi.
date they must oppose before naming their
own.
When the democrats met recently in Wash
ington they chose only their meeting place
