French Failed Badly
In Plane Production,
u. 5. Experts Say
Official Indecision and
Ineffieieney Due to
Politics Charged
b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
BILBAO, Spain, July 5.-Amer-
ican technical consultants who came
to Spain from France said today
Frances supreme defense effort
after the start of war was in air
plane manufacture-"and this failed
miserably."
Half dozen consultants and en-
gineering experts here awaiting
transportation back to the United
States attributed that failure to
official indecision and government
lnefflciency due to politics"
They described French factories as
some of the worlds best equipped"
and commented that under German
supervision they might be geared up
to turn out as many as 1850 air
plane engines month for the Nazi
air force.
Specifications Changed.
The Americans said one large fac
tory In Southern France was ready
in January to start turning out $50
engines a month, but never pro-
duced one because of constantly
changing specifications.
Another modern plant near Paris,
the engineers reported, was ready
to start production of French-type
engine in January, had American
tools Installed for the manufacture
and then failed to produce because
the government decided to make
English-type motors which required
other tools.
In another instance cited, the
Americans said that after long
study an American engine was ap-
proved for production, but "insig-
nlficant" alterations were demanded
which required such extensive
changes in tool machinery that
none was manufactured.
Strikes Pointed Out.
Widespread strikes were described
as a factor in retarding the pro-
ductlon of vital war materials.
Mobilization of foremen and key
workmen for the army also was
blamed for interfering with pro-
duction.
Young men brought in as replace
ments. the Americans said, learned
qulckly-but then were called to
arms themselves. Many women
took factory jobs.
The Americans estimated the best
production record the French fac
tories set during the fighting was
75O airplane engines a month, and
500 of these came from old, estab-
lished plants, not the new ones built
for the war rush job.

A better way to obtain the 1000 900

NEXT 12 GAMES SURE TO DECIDE
 PENNANT HOPES
Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis to Be Met in That
 Order-YOrk Is Hero
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY TInited press Staff CorreSDOndent


 New York, Sept. 9-CUP)-The Yankee juggernaut, with 2S victor ies in 3l games, headed westward today to carry the pennant battle into the heart of the enemy'S camp.
 Only one game out of first place, the Tanks will open their western campaign at Cleveland tomorrow. facing the Indians Bullet Bob Eel Ter. The Tanks will play 12 games in the west-two at Cleveland, three at Detroit, thre at Chicago and four at St. Louis.
 Before leaving for the west, the Tanks just about crushed the last Red Sox hope of figuring promin- ently in the spectacular September stretch drive. The Tanks belted the Red Sox 9-4, yesterday, and dropped Joe Cronin's team five games from the top. The Red Sox pitching being what it is, Boston may have to hustle to hold fourth.
 Cleveland came out of it's 6-game losing streak in the nick of time and saved it's lead of .001 for day, anyway. The Indians beat their favorite team, the White SoX, 5-4 in 10 innings. Jeff Heath's double and Ray Mack's single drove in the deciding run. Bob Teller came in as relief pitcher for Al Milnar in the ninth, and allowed only one hit and famed three men in the two innings he worked. Teller was cred tied with the victory, his 24th.
 Rudy York's homer in the eigth enabled the Tigers to trim the Browns, 5-4, and continue to blow their hot breaths right on the In- dians' necks. After the Browns got away to 40 lead, the Tigers ral- lied to tie the score on vicious hit ting by Pinch-Hitter Barney Mo- Cosky, Hank Greenberg, Tuck Stainback and Birdie Tebbetts.
 Washington and Philadelphia divided a pair, the Senators win ming the first game, 7-6, largely through Joe Krakauskas' great re- lief pitching, and the Athletics taking the 5-inning nightcap, 40.
 The Dodgers made another ges- ture at getting back into the Ma tional League pennant race by knocking off the Giants twice, 7-2 and Az. Dolf Camilli's homer with two on of Carl Hubbell sparked Brooklyn'S first triumph. Joe Med wick, who has finally found his bat ting eye, started the winning rally in the eleventh inning of the night cap. He singled, advanced on a sacrifice, and scored on Wasdells single. Another run came in on Pete Coscarat'S single. Hugh Casey, relieving Luke Hamlin, was the vic- tor.
 Cincinnati had its lead trimmed to 6k games by losing to the Cubs 3-1. Rookie Southpay Vern Olsen held the Reds to seven hits and aided his own cause by driving in one of the Chicago runs.
 Pittsburgh moved into third place by winning two knock down. drag-out games from the Cardinals, 16-14 and 5-4 Give innings). Johnny Mize hit three homers in the open- CT, bringing hs seasons total to Al.
 The Phillies scored a twin tri- umph over the Boston Bees, 2-1 in the Thinning opener and 3-1 in the aftermath. Ham Schulte's single scoring Kirby Higbe from second gave the Phils the opener and five hits of Jim Tobin that counted for three runs in the third clinched the verdict in the second game.
