$4,000 PLANES
YEARLY FOR U. S.

said that present American output
and future expansion plans-even
those contemplated by President
Roosevelt toward the goal of q $4,000
plane capacity-are not adequate to
take care Of the new British pro-
posal.
The fact that the officials have
undertaken the survey and have
given no indication to the British
that they believe 1t impossible to
fill the proposed new foreign orders
may have been the basis for state
ment yesterday by Lord Beaverbrook,
British minister of aircraft produc-
ton, that the United States is about
to approve the additional military
aid to Britain.
No Approval Yet
Oficials said, however, that no
such approval has been granted.
In March, the best sources here
estimated airplane production at
about $1,000 fuselages annually. En-
CINE production then was estimated
at between 10000 and $4,000 an
nually.
The present defense program
with money already appropriated by
Congress - contemplates the pur-
chase of thousands of airplanes
within the next is months. BY Oc-
tober, 1941, more than $4,000 planes
are expected to be in the army and
navy air corps.
The war and navy departments
do not give out official figures on
the number of aircraft now on the
line, but unofficial estimates place 1t
conservatively at 5000. The Ameri-
can defense plans, therefore, con-
template plant output at an average
rate of at least 1000 planes month
in the next is months.
This, combined with the 5000
plane British proposal, would re-
quire an output of 5000 planes a
month or 10000 a year. The figure
might be larger. since the new
British request, it is understood, is
over and above orders already placed.
Defense Sabotage
Quincy, Mass, July 25-(UP)-An
investigation of alleged open sabot-
age of the national defense pro-
gram" at Bethlehem Steel Corp
Fore River shipyard was sought to-
day by the Quincy local of CLOS
Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of
America.
The union requested Secretary of
the Navy Frank Knox to investigate
the "squandering" of $4,000 to
$50, 600 yearly in salaries of q skilled
mechanics who, the CLIO union
charged, act as representatives "of
a company union that has been de-
clared illegal" by the National Labor
Relations Board.
The men were doing mo produc-
tive work although they were hired
as mechanics" according to a reso-
luton passed unanimously last
night. It termed the alleged sit
uation sabotage" because the fed
eral government has agreed to as
sumo part of the overhead of COM
panies working on defense contracts.
The salaries were charged to over
head, it said.
1--WE contend that if working con-
ditions in the Fore River plant are
such as to require the services of
~ men, five days week, eight
hours a day, to adjust grievances,
they become proper matter for con-
gressional investigation"

came from q lantern hung on .
nail driven into the wall.
Two Of the men were seated ON the
floor. The one With hts back to the
window was Pete Yeager. Opposite
him sat Roam Judson. On q roll
Of bedding spread out on the hoor
lay the third man. The Diamond
Slash man was surprised to zee him.
He had not expected to md Jesse
Lamprey an ally Of Prentiss.
Before Lamprey opened his mouth
to speak Jim knew OF the sulleu
frightened face that he was no will
ing one.
II knew how it would be-" Jess
whined. II told you so all the time.
I wish to heaven I had got out Of
the country month ago."
Pete looked at him, no friendliness
In the round rubicund face. THAT
would have suited every one, / rec-
kon," he answered. But you didn't
And here you are, right In the mid
die Of the damnest mess you ever
did see."
Jess shuddered. It might lust as
well have been he instead Of Juan
who was shot down by the soldiers.
II told Russ Mosely I didn't want
to come, that couldn't help him
any, even though I am married to
that crazy girl"
"She sure got jim-dandy man" /"
Hudson said sourly. "They must be
hard up in Ohio for guys who will
60 through"
"How come those soldiers to be
waiting for us at the postofiice?
Yeager wanted to know. Some one
must have blabbed." His cold eyes
rested on Lamprey.
Don't look at me that way" Jess
snapped irritably, masking his fear
with temper. IT didn't tell 'em
Even If I'd wanted to, haven't had
. chance. I haven't been away from
you fellows for a minute"
what makes you so jumpy,
JESSE" Pete asked gently. did I
mention you?" The narrowed eyes
in the red face mirrored suspicion
I'm wondering If this is another of
Mosely's mistakes. He has been
making plenty lately"
"She don't even speak to me. Why
should Russ expect to make her dig
up the paper on my say-so?"
THAT amt the mistake I'm think
ing Of, JESS" the fat man said, al
most in a murmur.
Lamprey flung a startled look
at him. Don't Jump to fool con-
clusions, Pete, when there's nothing
to them. I'm with you till the COWS
come home. You know that"
Sure we know that. Don't we,
Roam"

Mosely Out In Open.
Jim's head was clearing. He rec
ognized Russell Mosely.
Maybe he didn't come alone and
the other fellow got away" Lamprey
said. timidly. "If 50, the soldiers
will be swarming all over us right
soon. We'd better light out"
The cold, stony eyes Of Mosely
rested on Lamprey for q moment.
You'll stay here's. That one curt re-
mark wiped Jess from consideration.
The Hat T boss gave his attention
solely to the captured man. you're
going to dance to my music, you
interfering fool. Make up your
mind to that"
Jim found 4 handkerchief in his
pocket and held it to his bleeding
head. Looks like you're worried

Judson turned jaundiced eyes on
the unhappy man. Don't try to
ring me In for 4 Witness. dunno
what you would or wouldn't do.
But somebody spilled the beans. II
not you, who?"
Abjectly Jesse spread his hands.
How would I know? Maybe the
soldiers just happened to be there" /"
A sob choked In his throat. He was
close to = breakdown.
Jim turned from the window, to
see two men coming toward the ia
cal from the direction Of the arroyo.
They could not miss seeing him. He
was trapped. Instantly he made up
his mind what to do.
Jim is Desparate.
"That you JUDI" he called out
easily, and started walking away at
q right angle toward the brush.
"Yep!" The foreman barked q
question. 'Who is it?"
"Roan." Jim told him. BE back
in q minute"
He did not hurry his pace. From
his voice he had kept all trace of
anxiety. But something in his gait
betrayed him. Whoever he was,
he could not be Judson. For Roam
had q gangling. jerky walk, differ
ent from this light ease.

ordered, and moved swiftly to cut
oil his escape.
Silcott started to run but stumbled
over . bucket and went to the
ground with q crash. Before he
could rise Prentiss flung himslef on
top OF the interloper. As they
threshed over the ground, the
second man hurried forward and
smashed his revolver barrel down
on Jim's head.
Jim came back to a world shot
with flashes of light out of whicA
voices came to him hazily as from
q great distance.
"He's coming back to the party"
somebody said. Hes q hell-a-

ducked into q deep doorway and
crouched low.
Three men passed, moving fast
Silcott came out from the doorway
and followed. He had recognized
Jud Prentiss. That these men had
tried to rob the post Office and beer
repulSed was safe surmise. Jim
meant to find out where they were
going to hole up until the DANCE,
was past. They swung to the right
From back of the scudding clouds

farther back to avoid attention.
The fugitives left the road and
crossed the shadowy slope Of q hill
The terrain was sown with pinons
and 1t made it very difficult to dis
tinguish the small trees from hu-
man figures. Jim lost and found
his quarry, then missed his men
again as the moon went under q
cloud.
He counseled with himself as to
whether he had better 60 on and
try to pich up the trail or 60 back
and let WINDOWS men carry on the
hunt. He knew he ought to return
and report, but he wanted to have
something definite to tell. It would
be q great coup If he could find the
hideout of the outlaws.
Wishes for His Friends,
An arroyo opened out of the dark
ness on his left. Had they gone up
the gulch or swung to the right? He
chose the arroyo because of an OBJ
scure feeling that hunted men run
to the hills. A stones throw from
the lower exit the canon widened
to a little park, and in this was q
house built close to a rock wall.
Cautiously he drew near, making
the most of such cover as there was.
He wished that Rufe and Pesky
were with him.
The building was more a Mexican
1acal than q house. It was built of
upright poles daubed with clay.
Sloping waterproofed with grass
sod formed the roof, which sagged
IN places from longtime neglect.
There were two windows in front
and most of the panes in both were
broken. The corral fence was dilap-
idated. Altogether there was an
air of decay and abandonment
about the steading, but Jim decided
to find out whether it was as de-
serted as it seemed to be.
He slipped forward, from a clump
OF Spanish bayonet to scrub cedar,
and from the stunted tree to the
corner Of the jacal. His heart
jumped, for man hadecome out of
the house and was standing in front
OF the doorway. The thick rounded
shoulders. the heavy-set figure with
long arms, told him the man was
Jud Prentiss. Jim was in deep
shadow. He pressed close to the wall.
scarce daring to breathe. The Hat T
foreman walked away toward the
arroyo without seeing him.
Heavy sacking hung over the
nearest window to prevent any light
from being seen. Jim edged closer.

SilcOtt Sims Out.


Silcott slipped out of the Window
house through kitchen door lead
ing to the garden. He climbed a
paling fence and dropped down a
short slope to the bank of the Santa
Fe River. Along this he moved
through the brush to the Corrillos
Road and crossed the river by a
fickety bridge. A dusty winding
wagon path led to the south side of
the plaza.
The crackle of shots pulled him up
tn his tracks. He guessed that there
was trouble at the postoff1ce. Swiftly
he moved forward along a narrow
street flanked by one-story adobe
houses.
To him came the slap of running
feet and the sound of voices. Figures

Anne stared at Jim. "Why ShoulC

Because he thinks I mailed the
old don's letters" Silcott said.

lowed and had manuevered to throw

A sense of despair swept over her
He was moving in the valley of the

nothing about it.

"Then their friends couldn't see
them strutting around inviting
death"
IT don't want to distress you,"
he said gently. II take all precau-
tions possible. My own opinion is
that am going to live to a ripe
old age Don't IVORY about me-"
Her eyes fell away from his.
"That's easy to say. How can I
help it-since we're friends"
He plucked hope from her un-
happiness, even though he knew
malign fate had built barrier be-
tween them. How much her emo
tions were involved he could not
guess. There had been exultant
moments when he had read what
he wanted to see in her eyes, but he
knew he might easily be mistaken.
A man in love could let his judge
ment interpret kindness for some
thing deeper.
Even if she cared for him there
was no way out for them to find
happiness. She had been brought
up. as he had, in the narrow con-
vention of puritanic age which
looked upon divorce as a disgrace.

Fire House
Repairs Are
Being Pushed

Remodeling and repairs under way
at the lire department quarters IN
de Municipal Building are being
pushed toward completion, and d
matter OF two weeks or more will
likely see the job finished, firemen
said today. An inspection of what
has already been done leaves the i'm
preston that good deal more work
is yet to be carried out, including
L lot OF painting.
But when the job is finished, the
firemen will have modern quarters
with sufficient accommodations fol
each Of the three trucks in the de-
partment. Virtually the entire first
floor front has been torn out, and
three doors are being put in, one in
front OF each OF the stalls for the
trucks.
Il new stairway has been built for
firemen to go back and forth to and
IRON the second floor, where they
have their sleeping quarters. A new
room is being provided for sleeping
purposes, and a limited number Of
volunteer firemen will be given free
beds there, so that they will be avail
able to accompany trucks when
alarms are answered at night.
The repairs ana alterations are be-
ing done at a reported price of ap-
proximately $1,000. B. H. Nixon is
the contractor. Work has been under
way already Tor several weeks: but
has progressed so far now that the
trucks can be kept indoors all the
tjrOa
