Are the planes, the tanks, the guns, the ships, the munitions coming out of the factories in the quantities the critical world situation demands?
 The answer to this biggest don1- estic question-mark varies from different authoritative sources.
 From President Roosevelt Cabi- net members, and OPM Director General Knudsen have come opti- mistic assurances. John Biggers, conscientious OPM Production chief, recently told Senate com. mittee, "We are within 100 days of quantity output of defense pro- duction."
 But from others equally in- formed have come less cheerful opinions. Bernard Baruch, tall, outspoken head of the World War Industries Board, has bluntly told Roosevelt and Defense chiefs that the progress of the defense pro- gram Is too slow and too lax.
 Potent New Deal executives have added the complaint that industry generally is still too intent on "business as usuap. They also contend that despite the size of the defense program, 1t Is still far short of real security for the na- ton and should immediately be greatly expanded.
 Little has been said publicly but this is . very live subject In inner circles and has been dis cussed more than ever i'm recent weeks. Now 1t appears that Hit
 ler's productive capacity In planes, tanks, guns and other
 vital arms Is double the maxi-
 mum of our defense program,
 and insiders are insisting that
 the only hope of coping with
 him Is immediately to launch
 plans to outstrip him.

With two public projects safely launched here in Waterbury, the next step Is to start the construction of Bank Street. This is probably the most in1- portant street work that the city Will do In quite some few years. It's more than just job of repaving. It involves new layout which is something Brooklyn res- idents have been clamoring for for years. It will mean great deal to the section across the Naugatuck River.

But to us out here in the hinterlands this Transformation is something to be mar

MORE AND LESS

MORE AND LESS
 The imagination reels under what this means in industrial terms.
 For one thing, 1t means Q tree mendous speed-up in the rate and quantity of production, plus another vast expansion of plant capacity. For another, 1t means Q drastic curtailment of consume goods, such as automobiles, elec- trical appliances, aluminium ware and other daily "necessities".
 Steel, tin, zinc, rubber, copper, aluminium and other vital raw ma terials will have to be diverted to armaments. The picture is not @ comfortable one, but there are plenty of military experts who grimly hold 1t to be the only al. formative to @ Hitler triumph.
 Thus briefly summarized, the defense question -mark consists of two parts - what iS hap- pening to the present program, and what new plans are in the works.
 As indicated, the new plans are still largely in the discus. sion stage. Regarding the pres- ent program. certain data can be presented, though for military reasons most of 1t is general rather than detailed. But 1t is sufficiently specific to show the overall situation on the major armaments. Later articles In this series will deal in detail with the individual items.
 TANKS
 Because of the Ariny's failure to develop mechaniZation In the past, the urgent need to concern trate on planes and give them priority in machine tools, plus Q constant flow of changes arising from combat experience abroad, production of tanks Is still in the early stages.
 Heavy tanks are still on the drawing boards. The Army has not yet made up It's mind on the value of these arinored giants: 1t will be ct least another year before pilot models roll off the produc. ton line. The first medium tanks made their appearance re. gently, will start coming off the lines in @ steady flow by June, and will hit 30O-a- month in Sep. tember.
 Light tanks, of which S,ee7 are on order for delivery by May, 1922 are the most advanced of this arm. By June deliveries will be ct the rate of S3O 6 month and will step up rapidly thereafter. PLANES
 At the moment the aviation pic. ture Is in e state of Aux due to developments abroad. A few months ago the chief demand was for fighter planes. Today, bombers are to the fore, particularly long range bombers carrying heavy AO&QSs kAlSUp " 10 QG4AAAVCAy AAk0WAA that the Nazis are bring out new machines.
 Tn March we produced 1,2le military planes, of which 800 were trainers and 700 combat ships. About 200-one- sixth of the total output-were bombers. In April these figures stepped up to l,S7S of which 250 were bombers. By September, bomber output is scheduled to top 600 Q month, when four huge plane assembly plants in Kansas City, Fort Worth, Tulsa and Omaha get into opera ton.
 It takes 100000 (seven times) more man-hours to make Q bomb- CT than it does c trainer.
 AMMUNITION
 Powder output is one of the brightest items in the defense pic. ture. Starting practically from zero q year ago, miracles have been performed.

Audubon Visits Country
John James Audubon, the celebrated
naturalist undertook trip to the upper
Missouri in l843 with four assistants.
and found the country SO prolific of
interesting specimens of animal, rep
tile and bird life that he regretted
the necessity of making an early re-
turn to the east, which he found neces-
sary. His journey lasted eight months
and the fruits of his studies are to
be found in his three volumes on
Quadrupeds Of North America.
In contrast to the men of science
was Sir George Gore. a native of
Sligo, Ireland, and picturesque and
eccentric character, whose extensive
travels in the northwest over a period
OF three years seem to have been sheer
love of adventure and lust to kill. His
adventures are set forth as follows by
that unfortunate young historian, Lieut..
J. H. Bradley, who met an early death
in the battle of the Big Hole in 1877:
In 1854. Sir St. George Gore, a
Missouri river from st. Louis for a
protracted hunt in the wilds of the
west. He was accompanied by a party
Of 43 men, with numerous train Of
| wagons loaded with abundant supplies.
and with the famous Jim Bridger as
guide. 1t was probably the largest and
best appointed purely pleasure expedi-
ton that ever penetrated the western
wilderness.
Indians Protest Killing
Following up the valleys of the
main and North Platte river, hunting
as he went, he finally crossed to the
mouth of Tongue river. where he built
a fort for the protection of his men
and remained for nine months. trading
with the Indians and pursuing his
hunting projects. The destruction Of
game by his party was so great that
the Indignation of the Crow Indians
was excited and they sent a remon-
stration to the Indian department.
They said they objected to wholesale
slaughter for so-called sport. the car
cases being left to rot on the prairie.
From a letter of Col. A ]. Vaughn,
then Indian agent on the upper Mis-
souri, to the superintendent of Indian
affairs at st. Louis. Mo-, dated in
July, 1856, it appears that los bear,
upward of 1000 buffalo and innumer-
able elk. antelope and deer had al
ready fallen victims to the first real
game hog of the west. At last, in re-
taliation, the Indians drove off about
half of his horses in one raid and the
following winter. while he was winter
ing between Fort Union and Fort
Berthold, made a clean sweep of the
remainder"
Sir George was not received with
much warmth at Fort Union by Major
Culbertson. who was not favorably i'm
pressed with the reports he had heard
agreed to have two flat-bottomed boats
built for the hunter. who wished TO
descend the Missouri in them to St.
Louis. The American Fur Co. also
agreed to buy Sir Georges wagons and
equipment at some stipulated price.
