Navy Silk Supply Assured

The Navy Department said today
that the cutting off of the supply
of japanese silk will not create a
problem in its parachute production
because enough silk is on hand TO

turn to synthetic silk if the need
arises.
Even now the Navy is purchasing
sufficient synthetic silk to make 200
parachutes. It's cost is but 3 or 4
cents a yard higher than genuine
silk and the Navy believes that in
large quantities it can be turned
out at lower cost than real silk.
Parachute requirements of the
Navy are between 100000 and 300 900
