produce the motors had been can.
celled because Of Henry Ford's re-
fusal to manufacture the motors for
Great Britain as well as the United
States.
Ford has said consistently that he
would manufacture implements Of
war for this country only.
Arrangements had been under
way for Ford to manufacture 5000
engines for this country and 5000
for Great Britain. Knudsen said
that the combined quantity "suffi-
cient to justify the undertaking,
indicating that the cost of producing
only this country's needs would be
too expensive. He said that "co-
operation In. the production Of this
important military equipment will be
sought. elsewhere.
Airplane engine production has
been considered q serious bottle.
neck In the air expansion program.
Ford's earlier. decision to manufac-
ture the engines had been looked
upon as a probable solution Of that
problem.

q, The army and navy to prepare
to train more young officers. Naval
stations and recruiting offices be-
gin receiving applicants Friday, in
augurating plan to train 5000
naval reserve officers annually.
The army already Is seeking 5000
new reserve officers to meet Its ex-
banded needs.
8, Presiednt Roosevelt prepared
to sign three big national defense
bills passed by Congress last week -
the $l,768, 9l3,9 1903 supplemental de-
Tense bill, the bill providing for
speeding up naval shipbuilding by
removing competitive bidding and
advancing 80 per cent down payment
on contracts, and one making SINH
lar concessions TO army contractors.
4. The Navy awaited the sign
ing Of the supplemental defense bill
to award $750,000,000 In contracts
for SO more warships. During the
past two weeks 1t has awarded con-
tracts for 10 fighting ships and four
auxiliaries totalling 1857 100000.
5000 More Officers
The program for adding 5000 Of.
ficers to the naval reserve was
announced by the President at his
press conference yesterday. It Is
similar to the one which turned out
large numbers Of reserve officers
for the Navy during the World War.
Applicants must be between 10
and 20 years of age, unmarried, have
two years of college education and
be OF sound physical condition.
The program provides for one
month training cruise to begin In
mid-July. From those successfully
completing that course there will
be selected groups for a 90-day
shore course. Successful completion
Of that course will qualify the men
as ensigns In the volunteer re-
