Banks and branches throughout the
country.
Between June l, 1910, and May
l, 1941, the United States actually
spent more than 100000 for
defense. To carry out the projects
already outlined, cash expenditures
of at least five times that amount
must be made in the next year.
Great as the strides in produc-
ton in the past IL months have
been, present output is not nearly
enough, it is agreed.
Biggers Outlines Schedule.
John D. Biggers, defense produc-
ton chief, has warned that by the
end of 1871
Production of airplanes must be
doubled.
Production of tanks must be
quadrupled.
Production of powder must be
trebled.
Small-arms ammunition output
must be trebled.
Output of Garand rifles must be
doubled.
Production of 80 and so caliber
machine guns must be increased
f1vefold.
AS the President and defense
leaders have admonished many
times in recent weeks, business as
usual" must give way.
1T is essential" President Roose-
welt has advised the o. P. NJ, that
industry continue to increase the
number of vital machines manu-
featured and that every single crit
ical machine in the United States
be used the maximum number of
hours each week"

By JAMES FREE.

Nearly four times as many pri.
mary contracts for defense work
will be awarded in the next yeal
than were let during the first Il
months of the United States pre-
paredness program, Office of Pro-
duction Management officials pre-
dicted today.
This will be in accordance with
the Presidents orders to speed
production and with the growing
practice of letting smaller contracts,
it was said.
Pointing out that almost $27, 000,-
100000 in authorized contracts have
not yet been placed. as compared
with $4,000, 100000 awarded so far,
Robert L. Mehornay, chief of the
defense contract service, forecast
that during the next fiscal year
we will see $4,000 direct contracts
of less than 100000 each"
$500 Contracts Awarded.
Thus far in the defense produc-
ton program, according to a recent
report of the Army and Navy Mu-
nitions Board, $500 contracts were
awarded to ALSO direct contractors,
who, in turn, let out work to about
$4,000 Subcontractors.
Mr.. Mehornay declared that "un-
doubtedly" in the coming year more
manufacturing plants will be en-
oooaI in tho Nations yoroporoJ,aer
program than ever took part in
any other such effort in any coun-
try at any time
He foresaw the possibility that
larger contracts will require definite
subcontracting clauses.
This does not necessarily mean
undue compulsion," Mr.. Mehornay
said. 1T means, rather, putting
work on sound business basis,
taking it out of the no mans land
of uncertainty"
Jams Regular Plants.
In earlier stages of the defense
program, Army and Navy alike re-
lied, naturally, on manufacturing
concerns they had been dealing with
for years, companies already IA
miliar with ordnance requirements
and thus able to turn out finished
materials faster than could be done
elsewhere. These companies now
have more work than they can
handle, in most instances, defense
officials say, and hence further
farming out of contracts is neces-
sary if production is to be acceler-
ated.
Surveys by the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers and other
organizations have indicated that
there are thousands of smaller
plants in the country that might
readily be adapted to defense manu-
featuring.
The task of promoting and ar
ranging for spreading of contracts
to smaller and heretofore unutilized
firms has been, assigned to the
Defense Contract Service, which

DEANNA DURBIN
 HAVING TROUBLE
Salary Three Times Bigger Than Roosevelt, But It
 Ends Today

Hollywood, October r. - (UP) - Deanna Durbin's salary almost three times as much as President Roosevelt's - ceased today when her studio suspended her contract, saying she had demanded the right to supervise her own movies.
 Miss Durbin could not be found to state her side of the disagree ment.
 officials of Universal Studios said they had been paying her well over $200,00 per year. They charged she had refused to play in the next pie ture they had scheduled for her.
 The 10-year-old singer, they con- tinued, informed them she would act in no more movies unless she could approve the stories in which she plays, choose the members of her supporting cast and select her own director. She told them this three weeks ago.
 Since then they have phoned her repeatedly, they said, only to get D buzzing noise; and telegraphed her, only to have their wires returned.
 "All can say Is that confirm the fact she has been suspended, said Matthew Fox, vice-president, "Tt would exaggerate an unfortu- nate situation to say more"
 Managers of the blue-eyed Dear- na, who rose in six years from Q child with a pleasant singing voice to young woman whose pictures have netted Universal profits of better than $15000, 900, insisted they also were unable to reach her.

SOME FRENCHMEN
 WANT REPUBLIC
Petain Indicates That He Is Seeking TOtalitarian
 Government

Vichy, Oct. l7 - (UP) -A A com mittee of the national consultative council charged with writing Q new constitution has recommended to Marshal Henri Philippe Petain that France remain Q republic, 1t was learned today.
 Petain had sent the committees first draft of a constitution back for rewriting. Meeting last night, an overwhelming majority decided against recommending authoritarian dictatorship or a monarchy, and ad- vised Petain that the nation should remain Q republic, 1t was said.
 (petain has indicated that he pre- fers a totalitaria1 goverT1nent).
 Meanwhile, parallel collaboration ist propaganda campaigns were started on both sides of the line be- tween occupied and unoccupied France.
 Contact between Pierre Laval and the present cabinet was established when Minister of Interior Pierre Pu- cheu went to his estate at Chatel- don on Petain's order.
 He conferred lengthily with Laval, who is 6 fervent collaborationist and walked with him several hours In the country, discussing the general situation.
 It was learned that the meeting produced no practical results, and there is no possibility of Laval's re- turn to power in any capacity for the present.
 Despite indications that French and German negotiations, deadlock. ed 10 weeks, would be resumed im- mediateiy 1t was learned that La- val had declared he was not inter- ested in returning to power now.
 He considers that France lost val- uable time in not negotiating during the 10 months since his overthrow, and believes conditions are now much less favorable because of Ger man victories in Russis.

 The election of permanent officers of the cub is xepected to take place at the next meeting to be held Tuesday evening at eight o'clock in the Mary Abbott school gymnasium. More than 300 applications for membership have already been re- ceived and the club will probably consider at that time what bound- aries to establish.
 The club Is largely an outgrowth of a recent altercation between res- idents of the Hill street area and members of the board of education, centering on the policy to be adopt- ed towards the Mary Abbott school. Attendance at the school has been falling off for some years, and the doubling up of two grades this fall gave rise to anxiety among many parents in the vicinity that the school might eventually be closed entirely.
 A petition by forty residents of the area to return to the old district boundaries thus increasing the en- rollment at Abbott school at the ex- pense of Kingsbury, was rejected re- gently by the school board. Shortly after this action was taken, several Hill street residents determined to organize a community club, the bet ter to safeguard their interests in the city.
