1,O36-PIane Output
For Month Fails 10
Satisfy Knudsen
Further Expansion
May Be Necessary,
o. P, M. Head Says
By JAMES FREE.

While the Nations a1rplane pro-
! duction capacity is increasing rap
idly with 1036 deliveries last
month-expansion beyond the pres
ent program may be necessary, ac-
cording to William S. Knudsen, di-
| rector general of the Office of Pro-
duction Management.
Estimates that the United States
will be turning out 1900 planes a
month by summer are too optimis-
| tic" Mr.. Knudsen told his press
conference late yesterday. But he
said he thought the years produc-
ton might we'll total $4,000 planes.
OF the 1,036 planes delivered in
January, 957 went to- the Army,
Navy and the British, So to- other
governments and 26 to commercial
aviation concerns.
A total of 1893 military planes were
delivered in December No figure
was given for non-military deIiv-
cries that month.
Asked how many of the craft were
sent to England, Mr.. Knudsen re-
piled:
You'll have to ask the British"
Must Watch Materials.
He declined to give the proportion
OF pursuit ships to bombers but did
say that the so per cent pursuit
plane proportion that prevailed in
December would have to be in
creased in the future.
There has been some improve
ment in our production, the o. P.
M. chief said, but We are still be-
hind what we had hoped to do"
When reporter wanted to know
II he was satisfied with the progress
that has been made, Mr.. Knudsen
smiled and declared: 'I can't afford
to be-"
Regarding possible shortages of
raw materials, Mr.. Knudsen said
I'VE will have to watch supplies of
zinc and nickel" And aluminium,
he added, is tight" There are a
number of proposals under con-
sideration for manufacture Of syn
thetic rubber, but Mr.. Knudsen in
dicated that "the method of pro-
QuCtlOn must be worked out.
Discusses Ford Plans.
He described attempts to increase
airplane production through letting
of educational or experimental con-
tracts to concerns that have not
done this kind of work before" The
o. P. M. has approved plans for such
a plant at YpSilante, Mich, to be
operated by the Ford Motor Co.
This plant, to cost $4,000 900 will
if the project receives final approval
of military authorities-serve as a
production center of subassembly
airplane parts. Other plants might,
through subcontracts with the
Ford company. furnish some OF the
equipment and parts. The plans

Mr.. Knudsen said that, since this
was to be under a negotiated con-
tract which the Ford company would
make with the Government, there
would be no contract clause calling
for compliance with all labor laws,
including the National Labor Rela-
tions Act. This provision is put in
all open-bid contracts. he said, but
not in negotiated contracts.

POISON GAS OF
LITTLE CONCERN
TERROR GREATLY ENLARGED
IN PUBLIC MIND SAY
OFFICIALS

Fort Bliss. Tex, Apr. S0-UP-
The terror OF poison gas has been
greatly exaggerated in the public
mind. according to Major C. S,
Shade, head of the chemical war
fare service detachment at Fort
Bliss.
Major Shade, former private
who fought in seven major engage
ments In which the A.E.F. partici
pated during the World War. has
been gassed and wounded. He re
covered from the gas without Ill ef'
feet.
Troops need not fear any OF the
known gases SO long as they use
the protection afforded them" he
said.
Our army has the finest protec.
ton in the world against gss-but
there's not much you can do II you
are hit by a projectile."
The gas masks provided for
troops are adequate protection
against war gases, he said. The
masks contain charcoal and lime
which neutralize the gases.
Major Shades detachment con
ducts continuous schools at which
soldiers are schooled In gas protec
ton measures.
The chemical warfare detachment
instructs soldiers In the wearing o
gas masks, and how to put masks
on horses. Also, 1t gives instruction
in decontamination--the neutraliza
ton OF gassed areas.
A good sense OF smell Is an asset
to a soldier in war. and all troops
are taught TO recognize the differ
ent gases by their odors. The min
ute they get Whit OF gas they are
taught to don their gas masks.
Major Shade said that chlorine
first used by the Germans in 1915
has a lime odor. Phosgene. another
World War gas, smells like new
mown hay. Mustard gas, burning,
blistering gas, smells like garlic.
Lewisite, an unused gas developed
by the army, has an odor like
geraniums.
Tear gas (chloracetophenone) is
used in the Army only for training.
II has no toxic effect.
Army medical experts say no ba-
his has been found for the belief
that war gases cause tuberculosis
or other diseases, although such
diseases may be aggravated by
gases.

Regular Veterans Urge
SimpIified Flag Salute

NEW YORK lP.-The Regular Vet
erans' Association has decided there is
much confusion among Americans over
the proper salute to the American nag
and urges a Nationwide educational
campaign for simplified salute.
Some forms of salute resemble those
taught by certain foreign countries and
their American inculcators, whose doc
trines are repugnant to true American
constitutional principles" the association
asserted.
The salute, recommended by the asso-
citation for use of military forces, civilians
and school children, is raising the right
hand to the forehead, with the fingers
touching the head just above the right
eyebrow
This would be used only to honor the
flag and while standing at attention
during the playing of the national an
