Governor Pordons
Centenorion Who
Carried Weapon
By the Associated Press.

RALEIGH, N. c., June 15.--
For l01 years John Martin of
Guilford County stayed out of
trouble, then he was convicted
of carrying a concealed weapon.
That was last Monday. He
was fined $50 and costs, $15.45.
The trial jurist, Judge E.
Earle Rives, wrote Gov. Clyde
Hoey that Mr.. Martin had
proved he was 101 years old
and that it was his first offense.
Mr.. Martin, the judge ex-
planned, lent q neighbor some
money a few years ago. The
neighbor refused to pay him in
full.
THE old man went to the
debtors home to frighten him
into paying" the judge wrote.
So yesterday the Governor

johnson Expresses Confidence.
Louis Johnson, Assistant Secretary
of War, speaking at Cambridge,
Mass, last night, expressed conf
dence that industry could be geared
to 50,000-plane capacity annually.
He added that 'if we cannot do it,
the safety of this country is indeed
in jeopardy"
On the other hand, Col. Francis
H. Miles, commandant of the Army
Industrial College, said at Pitts
burgh that a 50,000-plane program
for national defense was romantic
stuff"
Chairman Walsh predicted yester-
day that the Senate Naval Affairs
Committee would write into a naval
construction "speedup" bill more
stringent profit limitations than pre-
viously had been enforced against
contractors.
Senator Walsh said the committee
had tentatively agreed on the rough
draft of an amendment which would
reduce the present 10 per cent profit
allowed contractors on shipbuilding
projects and the II per cent now
allowed on airplane contracts. The
Treasury enforces these limitations
on all naval contracts, reclaiming
any excess profits.
"Dictatorial," Holt Claims.
Senator Holt based his opposition
to Senator Peppers plane produc-
ton proposal on the contention that
it would bestow 'dictatorial" con-
troll of industry on the President.
He accused Senator Pepper of in
consistency in trying to save de-
mocracy by setting up dictatorship
here"
An urgent appeal. meanwhile,
reached Senator McNary, Republi-
can, of Oregon, from more than 100
American residents of Great Britain,
who besought the United States to
furnish planes and more planes,
guns and more guns, and if neces-
sary-What is still harder-our men. -
Another step to accelerate Ameri-
can plane production was taken yes
terday with the dedication of a new
unit at the Wright Aeronautical
Corp. plant at Paterson, N. j. Built
in only 81 days, it will be capable
of producing 1000 plane engines a
month.
To man the military equipment
which he said the country was de-
termined to produce, DR.. Harold w.
Dodds, president of Princeton Uni
versity, proposed last night that all
men from 81 to 45 be given train
ing for relatively brief periods"
The possibility of wartime short
age of rubber, one of the materials
vital to arms manufacture, was pre-
sented yesterday by Senator Downey,
Democrat. of California. He said
secret military hearing disclosed that
the country's supply would last only
10 months, even with rationing, if
crude rubber sources were cut off
and that prospects for synthetic pro-
duction as presented by three in
dustrialists were none too bright.
Senator Downey has proposed a
81 500, 900, 900 appropriation for stra-
tegic war materials, including rubber.
