NEW YORK, Nov. 22-The bells

back to give the Gaels the gong
and wallop the Californians, IS to Z.
Sailing four times through the air
to touchdowns and putting on a
finishing touch with a six-pointer by
way of the old Statue Of Liberty

either has taken since this series

like the Rams might not have re-

from Pittsburgh in their last game
two weeks ago-their sole setback
of the year.
But when the boys stared to think
of the bowl trip that's beckonlng-

sleeves and poured il out.
First it was Cheverko to Joe
Andrejco for 20 yards and the first
tally in the second quarter. Then
Cheverko tipped to Filipowicz on a
42-yard trip and FilipoWicz heaved
to Blumenstock on 40-yarder for

WASHINGTON, June 2 (UP)-Is
the United States prepared for war?
The answer to that question to-
day-one year after the all-out de-
fense effort began-it this:
The navy now has the worlds
most powerful and heavily armored
fleet. although the second-ocean
part of the 'two-ocean" navy is
still in the making.
The army is ready with seasoned
troops and strong Notifications in
Its great defensive outposts at Ha-
wal and the canal zone, but even
there lacks ultra modern antiair-
craft guns.
The basic land army and air
force won't be ready for about a
year. Many of its men still are
green; its up-to-date artillery and
tanks are just beginning to come
out Of the factories; few of its fight
er planes in service now equal Euro
pean standards.
We started year ago with a S.
OOO,OO0,0O0 program. Soon approp-
riations, authorizations, British con-
tracts and defense loans will total
$50, ,000, 100000. But this is a battle
of production, not dollars. Most of
this last year has been devoted TO
planning pro d u C t j on, expanding
plants, creating a whole new mu-
itions industry, revising designs to
catch up with and try to surpass
European developments. The real
production is just about to start.
BIG JUMP
Defense funds actually paid out
by the treasury in the 12 months
ending this June 80 will total about
$4,000, 100000. That's a big Jump
from $l,558, 100000 in 1910. The year
beginning July will bring an out
tpouring of defense spending of from
s.3, COZ, 100000 to $25 5,000, 900 O00--de-
pending on how fast factories and
shipyards can be sDeeded up.
Biggest gains of the past year
have been in manpower-an army
expanded from 230,772 a year ago
to more than 1,345,OO0 today. The
majority are selectees and national
guardsmen. They will be toughened
and forged into combat teams in
the worlds greatest series of peace
time maneuvers, now beginning.
Sales to Britain took a large
share of the last years production
Of planes. Nevertheless, some gains
in new equipment were made,
though puny compared with the
goals now propected-goals of 3d.
coo planes, for instance.

Spokesman for Consolidated Air

an elevation of several hundred feet
when the controls apparently jam
med and the ship nose dived into

Hundreds of spectators jammed

crash.
The huge land bomber was one
of scores that had been built at
the Consolidated factory and after
similar test flights, had been flown
directly to England.
