nication and electronic equipment
for various types of naval vessels
and aircraft, as we'll as portable field
apparatus.
Work Is Divided.
IN cooperation with the desires
OF the Government to hasten pro-
duction and to mobilize as far as
possible the smaller industrial Or
ganizations of the country, we have
divided some of the work on our
large contracts with as many as 109
subcontractors. These firms are To-
Gated in Is different States. in the
East, South. Middle West and Far

The manufacturing program, COW

of its networks within 80 days and
told N. B. c. and the Columbia

tract arrangements with associated
stations.
A resolution offered from the floor,
which would have asked Congress
for an investigation of the commits
sion and approve any steps officers
of the corporation took, was with
drawn at the request of Mr.. Sarnoff.
He said that, because the situation
affected the entire broadcastlng in
dustry, general study of the COM

on any action taken first would be
necessary.
