About Defense
BY ARTHUR r. HERMANN
Inti News Service stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6--The
0PM today drafted legislation to
ease provisions under which the
government may negotiate defense
contracts, as defense y officials
planned 10 convert approximately
$4,000 United States factories to
production of war materials.
BY late 1912, according to charts
being prepared by OPM experts,
81 per cent of all American manu-
featuring facilities will be turned
into munitions making, with total
Of LIS, 900 plants engaged in actual
defense output.
1900 NOW ON DEFENSE
At the present time. only about
$1,000 plants are working on re-
armament orders, and some of
them only partly The conversion|
of the 163.0 other plants is TO be
accomplished through ALLEGATION of
raw materials.
The measure changing the con-
tive form by legal experts for the
contract distribution division and
will be introduced in Congress
next week.
II would permit federal agencies
10 eliminate the competitive bid
ding system, advance payments tol
contractors with a lien against
their raw materials and machinery
used on the contract and waive
performance on other bonds or
security.
DEFENSE MANDATE
II enacted into law, the bill
would be tantamount to a congress
sional mandate 10 the defense
agencies TO utilize every means of
increasing rearmament production.
Passage of some form Of the bill
was virtually assured, as both Re-
publican and Democratic senti-
ment was found TO be predomi-
nantly favorable.
In converting more plants TO the
defense drive, the factories will. in
effect, have the choice of turning
their facilities 10 fabricating raw
materials into weapons of war or
going out OF business.
