Anti-Aircraft Plants
Get Precedence on
Machine Tools
Urgent Need Recognized
Despite Rushing Of
Bomber Proerom
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 10.-The
magazine American Machinist said
today that machine tools were so
urgently needed for anti-aircraft
plants that this program has tenn
porarily taken precedence over re-
quirements for the bombing plane
program.
The bomber program, the maga-
zine said, had precedence over
almost all other defense production.
New plants which we're intended for
other plane manufacture are likely
to be used for heavy bombers.
The key automotive plant in the
bomber program, the magazine con-
tinued, was the new Ford factory at
Ypsilanti, Mich.
The magazine placed Allis pro-
duction at 400 a month and said
that 1t would be increased to 1000
by December. Vultee and Northrup
have ordered tools Jointly so that all
parts will be Interchangeable in
the production of the new Ven
geance dive bomber for the British.
