tack and later had sent his Nazi
legions crashing into these same
nations.
The army plan called for three
big training centers. Randolph
Field, Tex, Maxwell Field, Ala,
and Moffett Field, Calf. By De-
cember, Secretary Woodring said
1892 potential fliers will be enter
ing upon a course of training every
five weeks. Of the annual 10, 900,
he said, 1000 will BIZ pilots, and
the remainder bombardiers a n d

The Course
The course will run for IS weeks,

weeks devoted to primary train

the third ten to advanced train

On Capitol Hill, Senator Pepper
D-Fla) proposed that the Presi-
dent be given authority to direct
the airplane industry to deliver
SO, 900 warplanes by a fixed date.
Pepper drafted a resolution
which would put into operation a
1916 statute directing industry to
accept government contracts in
stead of others.
The effect of the resolution, Pep
per said, would be to notify the
Allies that the whole economic
power" of the United States was
to be turned to the production of
warplanes, on which the govern
ment could waive priority to per-
NIT the Allies to take them.
He said the resolution was broad
enough to permit the President to
order General Motors, Ford,
Chrysler and other automobile
plants to cease making passenger
automobiles and turn to aircraft
production.
There would be some prospect
then" Pepper told reporters, that
the skies over Europe would &C
tually be filled with American air.

lieve that they would have e
stamina to continue the fight I'M
til they get these planes"
ATTEND Conference
Because of the crisis of the AL
lied cause, and the appeal of Pre-
mier Reynaud for American as
sistance, reporters focked to MIR.
Roosevelt's press conference in al
most record numbers. The first
question put to the chief executive
dealt with Reynaud's appeal.
1t had not yet been formally re-
ceived, MI. Roosevelt said, out
the answer was simple: the United
States was doing all it possibly
could for the Allies.
Previously, Mr.. Roosevelt h a d
announced he had signed the ST.
498, 900, 900 appropriation bill for
increasing the size OF the army
and providing it with mammoth
stores of equipment.
He also disclosed the creation OF
a new committee to help with the
preparedness task. This, he said,
was the national defense research
committee, to be led by DR.. Van
nevar Bush, head of the Carnegie
Institution and of the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronau-
tics. It's job will be to see In what
wav the laboratories OF the country
and their research scientists, can
help in expediting the defense pro-
gram.
The day was notable for many
other developments related to de-
Tense and the war abroad. Among
them was a request by the Presi-
dent for an appropriation of 3d.
127. 600 for river and harbors work
linked with the defense problem,
including the dredging Of a 40-foot
channel in the Delaware River.

Skilled Workers Needed
|For Defense Industries

By the Associated Press.
Defense industries need skilled
machinists, tool and die makers,
loftsmen and ship filters, the
Federal Bureau of Employment
reports.
The bureaus findings were made
public yesterday by Federal Secu-
rity Administrator McNutt. who said
that. while local shortages existed
In certain skilled worker classes, no
general shortage Of labor was in
dicated.
The Government report Of in
creasing demand for skilled workers
was made public at the same time
that the American Youth Commis-
sion, private organization, released
a study which said there were 4.000,-
600 youths between Is and "a out of
work and out of school.
The evidence seems to show, the
councils study said, that of these
4 ZOO 900 less than one in four have
had any practical help in finding
out what work fits them best or in
adequate education for work, let
alone any organized aid in finding
Jobs"
Howard M. Bell, who prepared the
study, said the schools were not
solely at fault-that communities as
q whole should develop programs of
vocational guidance.
