weeks ago that it would add Army
tanks to its defense production job,

signed within the next few days.
Announcement already has been
made that the Ford Motor Co soon

the "big three" automobile COM
panies-General Motors, Ford and

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Sharp eX-
pansion of the Nations tank pro-
duction program has resulted from
recent Russian German war de-
velopments, the trade journal Amer
ican MachiniSt reported today.
The British have placed tanks at
the top of their list of requirements
and American defense authorities
have hopes of producing 5000 of the
land battleships month. That rate
of output probably will not be
reached before mid-1942, the maga-
zine said
The magazine said also that the
bomber program had been boosted
from planned-for 500 a month to
$50 month for Britain.
1t interpreted reports that the
number of aircraft sent to Britain
was dropping steadily to a change
from light, quickly-made pursuits to
heavy, more intricate bombers.
The journal estimated August ex-
ports at 500 planes, adding that most
of the bombers United States in
dustry makes are going to Britain
and Russia is getting some OF the
pursuit ships.
