Immediate Production
Of Warp|anes Urged
On Manufacturers
knudsen Asks Thut
They Not Woit for
Passage Of Tax Law

The National Defense Commission
today urged six manufacturers to
proceed Immediately with warplane
contracts totaling SIS, 1888, 900 rather
than wait for passage of the new
tax bill.
A spokesman for the commission
said William Knudsen, defense chief
of production, would TRY to sell"
his views at a conference today with
the aviation representatives. and
would ask them not TO wait for en-
actment of the tax bill, which would
permit them to write off expansion
costs in five years.
The spokesman said the contracts
offered to the six companies pro-
Nded no new types of planes for
which retooling would be necessary
and that all models proposed al
ready were under construction.
The commission had announced
that nearly S85 100000 in planes and
engines had been cleared" but that
the six manufacturers had declined
to proceed with production pending
passage OF the tax measure, Tor fear
OF being left with huge investment
that might become valueless should
the defense program be terminated
abruptly.
The companies represented and
the amount of contracts offered to
them are: Consolidated Aircraft
Corp Sl6,361 ,342; Boeing Airplane
Co, Wichita. Kans., $2,O41 ,947: Boe-
ing Aircraft Co, Seattle, S3l ,87l BAG;
Stearman division of Boeing, Wich-
ita, s5,7l3,3 ,389. Also represented were
Lockheed, Martin and North Amer
lean Aviation corporations.
Commission representatives at
tending the meeting, in addition to
Mr.. KnudSen, were DR.. George j.
Mead, aeronautical director for Mr..
.Kundsen, and John o. Diggers. Mr..
kundsen's deputy commissioner.

District but by people all over the
United States who rightfully be-
lieve no group of people in this city
should be denied the privilege and
| duty of the vote"
On the eve of today'S committee
meeting conference was held by
leaders of the District Suffrage As
sociation with Mr. Randolph in the
House District Committee room last
night, at which the association and
its various affiliated organizations
declared emphatically in favor of
the Summers resolution, but urged
that local government legisla-
ton should be pressed concurrently
Chairman Randolph told the more
than score of veteran workers in
the cause of District suffrage that
while he will continue to work for
complete suffrage, including the
right of local government, he
is convinced that Congress is dis
posed to grant national representa-
ton now. The two distinct pro-
posals are under consideration in
different mmittees-national rep
resentation before the Judiciary
Committee and local suffrage be-
fore the District Committee.
Wilbur S. Finch, president of the
Suffrage Association, presented a
resolution just drafted by his as
sociation which says: I'VE urge that
in its pending legislative action Con-
gress adopt not only resolution
proposing constitutional amend
ment but simultaneously legislation
providing for full local suffrage and
the qualification and registration of
District citizens as voters" Mr.
Finch said: I'VE believe there are
many problems in the District of a
purely local nature which should,
in accordance with the American
system of government. be placed
within the control of the American
citizens residing here"
Representatives of both the A. F.
of L. and the c. I. o. were intro
duced, both declaring in favor of
National representation and local
suffrage James Mcnamara, inter-
national vice president of the Hotel
and Restaurant Workers Union,
brought prepared statement from
William Green, president of the A.
F. of L.: There is every reason why
the right of suffrage, including the
right of local self-government,
should be extended to the residents
of the District of Columbia. I can
not conceive of any convincing argu-
ment which acould be used against
it. am confident I speak for the
officers and members of the en-
tire American Federation of Labor,
as we'll as other millions of friends,
when I extend to the conference on
District suffrage best wishes for it's
success and all the efforts it puts
forth to obtain its objective"
