War Department Will Ask
$4,000 Additional Planes

provide backlog" against a sharp
production let down as planes now
on order are delivered.
The Army now has 10000 planes
on order, most of which probably
will not be delivered before 1912.
British orders placed before or
early in the European war are
said to be running out rapidly, thus
leaving private manufacturers with
idle assembly lines that can be
utilized under the new program.
The proposed new program is
said to consist OF two major phases
involving about $1,000, 900, 900 each.
One calls for about 10000 planes
OF all types-some 5000 trainers
and 500 pursuit, interceptor and
bombing craft. Orders for them
would be spread among various air
craft firms as a backlog when
present defense and foreign orders
Tur ont.
The other would provide funds
to pay for the first 5000 medium
and heavy bombers TO be assembled
at new plants at Tulsa. Okla, Kan
sas City, Kans., Fit. Worth, Tex,
and Omaha, Neb. Parts for these
craft are to be made by automobile
manufacturers.
Officials said that the proposed
new program would mean an up
ward revision in present plans for
an ultimate Army air force Of 81
combat groups. They declined to
state how many groups would be
added, but admitted that an 'in-
crease Is planned.

Men Unable to Escape as
Flophouse Operated by
Salvation Army Burns

Dallas, Tex, Feb. Sup Six
men were dead, four dying and is
seriously injured today in a fire
that swept a Salvation Army flop
house where so naked transients
were sleeping.
Three were killed in the fire
late last night. Another died early
today. Among the six whose deaths
were feared momentarily was Jul
ius Benson. As, assistant manager
OF the house. He went into the
building three times to bring men
out.
Salvation Army officials said
that their registration books were
burned, and they doubted that the
dead could be identified.
Some of the victims were burned (;
some fractured arms and legs leap
ing from the two story building.
Some suffered both burns and frac-
tured limbs.
Fire Chief l.. NJ. Funk said that
the fire started in a fumigator, at
the head of the stairs. Transients
were compelled to leave their
clothes in it overnight for de
lousing", and a gas flame was kept
burning in the fumigator to vapor-
lie chemicals that killed the YER
min.
From the fuu1igator. a five by
eight foot room with a beaverboard
ceiling, the fire swept into the big
sleeping room, lined with double
decker hunks, and filled in the
center with cots.
Most of the men were asleep
when one opened the door. Flames
covered him. Three or four, by
bending low as they ran, escaped
down the stairs before they be-
came impossible. There was no
fire escape.
The others ran to the opposite
end OF the room. Some leaped.
Others were afraid, and ran back
to the front windows but flames
drove them back. One man,
wedged in a front window, died
screaming as crowd watched him.
The men afraid to jump were
panic stricken and fought each
other, screaming, cursing and pray
ing, before firemen got to them.
Most of the injured were those who
remained in the room, breathing
smoke and fumes.
