reporters.
The entire American industry ex-
poets to turn out only 1876 planes
next month, aside from small per-
sonal craft, he disclosed, and exit
mated it would be mid-1942 before
the monthly production rate could
be increased to 5000 planes, to be
divided among American, British
and other purchasers. He indicated
that even then the 5000 would in
clude some large commercial
planes and would not be solely mi
itary craft.
Meanwhile, Chairman Jesse
Jones of the RFC announced ap-
prevail of a $92, 000, 900 loan to the
Wright Aeronautical corporation to

by $4,000 a year. A new plant will
be erected near Cincinnati.
Knudsen said the additional ship
yards to be put to work in building
a two.ocean navy were located on
the Pacific and Gulf coasts, but he
actually identified only plants at
Seattle and Los Angeles.
In his statement, amplified at his
first press conference, Knudsen re-
ported:
Concerning warplanes, there is
''every indication" the industry

MEASURE TO HELP
REFUGEES PASSES
Would Authorize Use OF
American Ships To Remove
Children From War Zone

WASHINGTON, July 26.-R-
Legislation authorizing the use OF
American ships to bring children
here from Europe's war Zone, If
the belligerents will promise safe
passage, was approved unanimous
ly today by the house foreign al
fairs committee.
It acted after President Roose-
welt said at a press conference that
the United States had a deep de-
sire to do all possible to remove
children from England, but that it
would be a big responsibility to
send ships for them without as
surances that there would DO no
torpedoings. !
The committee-approved bill, in
addition to requiring a pledge from
the warning nations that the ships
would not be molested, directs that
each ship have an American flag
painted on each side land a state
ment that such vessel is a refugee
child rescue ship of the United
States or under United States regis
try, so that night or day there can
be no mistake as to the identity
of such vessel"
At hearings on the measure, wit
ness after witness told the COM
mittee that there would BIZ no trou-
BILE in placing refugee children in
privafe homes here.
Discussing the refugee problem
in general, President Roosevelt told
his press conference that the first
step was to get passports in the
hands of 10000 or more children.
Next, he said, would be to find out
whether the British government
could send the children to tn i S
country, or Canada, in British YES
sells.
The question Of sending Ameri-
can vessels for them, he conclud-
ed, might be reached a little later.4
