Germany's warplane production is
estimated by John H. Jouett, presi-
dent of the Aeronautical Chamber
of Commerce, trade association, at
5000 machines a month and by
Acting Secretary of War Louis
johnson at 1000 a month, with q
prospect of 5000 a month by mid
September.
Production Forecasts.
Mr.. Jouett estimates American
production in 1941 at $4,000 to 10000
planes on an annual basis. Col.
johnson says the aircraft industry
is geared now to turn out $4,000 q
year, and will be stepped up without
emergency means to $4,000 by jan
uary.
Meanwhile, the major aircraft
engine factories are not expected to
reach production of 25,O0O units
OF 1000 horsepower each until next
March, and the armed services-with
an admitted paucity of pilots-are
girding themselves to turn out 16 ,OO0-
odd flyers year. Barring breakage
or loss in combat, one sturdy war
plane will wear out several pilots

BY DEVON FRANCIS,
Associated Press Aviation Editor


SEATTLE, Wash, July 2.-If this
country were to be drawn into war
tomorrow, the Army Air Corps
would have fewer than $50 combat
planes for the defense of continental
United States.
1t would have less than 1900 for
the defense of the Western Hemi-
sphere and the Philippines.
Last year American aircraft fac
tories turned out less than 1000
military planes, including such nom
combat types as trainers and per-
sonnel transports. The worlds
leading air power, Germany, is re-
ported to have a current produc-
tivity of from $4,000 to $4,000 planes
year.
We do have several thousand mill
tary airplanes in our armed forces,
but 80 per cent of them would be
useless in wartime. Many are
trainers. Many are obsolete.
221 Answered Hurry Call.
During the war games on the
TexaS-Louisiana border last month
hurry-up call was dispatched from
Langley Field, Va, from which
operations of the General Head
quarters Air Force are directed, for
a concentration of all it's flyable
combat planes at Barksdale Field,
Shreveport, within "a hours.
The G. H. @. Air Force, organized
in 1885, is charged with the air de-
fense of continental United States.
A total of 22l planes showed up,
including rs of our 5O-odd 4-motor,
long range Boeing heavy bombers,
manufactured here in Seattle The
rest were in the shop for overhaul.
In all, G. H. @. has less than 450
combat planes.
The Nays air arm must be con-
sidered separately because its opera
tions are associated intimately with
the movements of the fleet. The
G. H. G., which type for type has
much faster planes than the Navy,
enjoys also a greater latitude of
activity. The Army Air Corps, in
fact, considers itself our first line"
of air defense.
Navy Air Power Short.
The Navy's air power, too, has
been at low ebb. Senator Byrd Of
Virginia said on May "a that on the
basis of figures submitted to the
Senate Naval Committee by Rear
Admiral John H. Towners. chief Of
naval aeronautics, only 500 aircraft
capable of meeting modern Euro
pean warplanes in equal combat
were attached to the fleet.
Whether the state of our air de-
fenses is critical or not depends on
Cd the importance the United
States attaches to air power in re-
lation to sea power and the strength
of its ground army, CD our prox-
unity to war. 60 the rate at which
warplane productivity can be stepped
up, "a the rate at which pilots can
be trained, 60 the continued availa-
bility of many raw materials, in

Fight on zoning Bill
For Anne Arundel
Promised by Group
Private Owners Fear
Measure Will Provide
Free Beaches

BY Staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 20.-A
stif fight against q planning and
zoning bill for Anne Arundel County,
to be voted on In the general election
next November, was promised today
by owners Of private beaches who
expressed fear that passage would
bring free public beaches for Balti-
more and Washington residents.
The bin provides for a Planning
Commission of seven members, four
named by the Board of County
Commissioners and three by the
Annapolis City Council.
The commission would draft a
master plan for future development
of the county and city of Annapolis
and would approve or disapprove
building permits and real estate
alterations, as well as other matters
generally falling within jurisdiction
Of zoning boards.
Edgar s. Kalb Of Mayo, at a meet
ing last night, attacked the measure
IN It's entirety, and said he feared
waterfront property would be pur-
chased for park and beach purposes
He said the measure was wrong in
giving such broad powers, adding
that mo group Of men, no matter
how honest, should be intrusted with
such power"
Benjamin Michaelson, counsel to
the Anne Arundel County Board,
branded the bill too drastic" and
