succeed Thomas w. Holland, acting
administrator since Brig. Gen. Phil
ip B. Fleming, former head Of the
wage and hour division, was ap-
pointed Federal Works admins
traitor.
Born at North Smithield, r. l.,
December ~, 1908. Mr.. Walling re-
ceived his preparatory education at
Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass.
He was graduated from Brown Uni
versity in 1880 and from Harvard

War chiefiains Meet
In Australia 10 Draft
Offensive Strategy
Commonwealth Council
Holds Secret Session
With Allied Advisers
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MELBOURNE, Feb. 27.-The
greatest war planning confer
ence ever held in Australia con-.
vened today with the Common
wealth War Council meeting in.
secret session with high advisers
from the Allied nations to shape
new offensive strategy based
on the possibility of imminent
Japanese attack on this conti-
nent.
Laid before the meeting were the
plans on which Australian and Al
lied strategists have been working
for days-plans for ultimate heavy
offensive strokes, as well as the
guarding Of Australia's shores.
Exchange Telegraph Agency
quoted authoritative Melbourne
quarters as saying the conference
may mark the launching of an .
almost immediate Allied offen-
sive.)
Even as the council met forces Of
the invaders were poised on out
lying Australian territory-the is
lands of New Guinea and New
Britain.
The Melbourne Herald said the
War Councils talks would continue
over the week end, but predicted a
quick decision of defensive and Of
fensive moves.
1t reported that the government
refused to accept the view Of some
observers that the Japanese were
more likely to concentrate on their
thrust into Burma than to strike at
Australia as soon as the Netherlands
Indies could be subdued.
The Herald added that "unfor-
tunately, information received here
shows that continued resistance on
Java cannot long be expected"
(There have been reports that
one of the decisions before the
War Council is whether to send
major Australian forces to help
hold Java or to hold all available
troops for tight on the home
Shores)
The fact is well known in Japan,
the Herald said, that Australia is
destined to become a gigantic base
for the Allied counteroffensive un-
less Japan can forestall such action.
Many observers regard the next
three months as Australia's hour Of
crisis after which, the Herald said,
powerful help assembling for us
should turn the scale"

II wishful thinking won wars, the
Japanese would be far along today
on the road to final victory.
A large section Of the West Coast
would be a shambles, the Pacific
Fleet would be little more than q
memory and the native peoples
everywhere in the western Pacific
would be welcoming the Nipponese
invaders with garlands Of flowers in
stead of bullets and bombs.
That, at least, Is the broad out
line of the radio propaganda pic
ture which Toxic has been painting
since the beginning Of the war
presumably for a public it hopes 1t
has in the United States and other
United Nations.
Hope to Create Suspicion.
The serious purpose Of the broad
cast claims. officials said today, is
to create questioning, uncertainty,
lack Of confidence and suspicion in
this country. While they may also
be put out for the benef1t OF Japa-
nese morale and the morale Of ia
pans Axis partners, it is not def
nitely known that all the reports are
given to the Japanese people.
They are judged here, therefore,
on the theory that they are de-
signed primarily to upset Allied
and particularly American morale.
In the light of what has actually
occurred as compared with what
the japanese reported, oficials here
have been amused by some Of the
extravagant claims.
One broadcast purported to deal
with the historical background OF
Wake, the island outpost which
Japan later captured. Toxic charged
that when American marines first
occupied the island they killed OF
all the natives. Actually, until the
marines arrived with their own
supply of fresh water, the island
never supported human life for any
prolonged period.

bennett Goes Before
Grand Jury for Quiz
On Axis Propaganda
PubIicist Called in Trial
Of Viereck Ready to Tell
Full Story, Lowyer Says

Prescott bennett. Washington
publicist, who stood on his consti-
tutional rights and refused to tes-
tify when called as q Government
witness at the trial of George Syl-
vester Viereck. went before spe-
cial District grand jury today ready,
his attorney said. to tell his story.
bennett, previously called several
times before the jury investigating
Axis activities and reported to have
refused to talk, went before the jury
after a conference with his attorney,
Frank J. Kelly, and Edward j.
Hickey, jr., special prosecutor from
the Justice Department.
Mr.. Kelly said the witness was
ready to furnish any information
he had and to help the jurors un-
cover any subversive activities they
might be probing.
Slated as Prosecution Witness.
bennett had been slated as a key
Government witness in the trial of
Viereck, who is charged with failing
to report his propaganda activities
when registering at the State De-
partment as a German agent.
When bennett, formerly director
of the Make -Europe-Pay-War-De Debts
Committee, was called to the stand
last week he appeared as a witness
OF the court and not for either side
in the case. Questioned by Justice
F. Dickinson Let's, the witness re-
fused to answer questions on the
ground he might incriminate him
self.
The Vierack trial is in recess until
Monday.
Mr.. Kelly revealed today that he
had advised Government counsel
bennett was ready to testify at the
Viereck trial or before the grand
jury. The attorney added:
Il was retained by Mr.. Dennett's
mother. I have conferred with the
Dennetts, Government counsel and
Justice Let's, and I have made it
clear to all of them that I would
have nothing to do with the case
unless Mr.. bennett gave all the in
formation in his possession"
Whether bennett will be called
back to testify in the Viereck trial
has not been made known.
bennett was connected with Vie
reck in testimony by Sigfrid Hauck,
who published propaganda books for
the defendant. Hauck said he had
paid bennett $3.50 to exploit these
books. George Hill, until recently
clerk in the Office of Representa-
tive Fish, Republican, of New York,
testified bennett gave him $1,000 to
meet the expense of mailing out
anti-war speeches by members Of
Congress.
Dennett's Bond Raised.
Hill, who is under sentence of two
to six years for perjury before the
grand jury, told at the Viereck trial
what he described as the whole
truth.
bennett at one time was under
81 500 bond as material Govern
ment witness. This was raised to
$500 after he was alleged to have
been in communication with girl
friend who was taking notes at the
trial. He spent one night in Jail
before he took the stand and the
court upheld his right to refuse to
testify.

Then there was the matter OF the
great West Coast panic" after the
wars outbreak. The Japs claimed
the panic extended all the way from
Mexico to the Canadian border.
On another occasion soon after
war began they reported that San
Francisco, which actually had been
blacked out by an afraid warning,
was in flames from bombing.
The first damage resulting from
enemy action on the West Coast
mainland occurred only this week
in California when a bombardment
by a submarine with 5-inch guns
caused a total property loss Of $500.
Announcing this action, the Japa-
nese said that the city Of Santa
Barbara had been devastated.
Other claims included the report,
put out through roundabout Axis
channels, that Admiral Thomas C.
Hart, chief of the Asiatic Fleet,
had been killed in action early in
February. Secretary Knox disclosed
Wednesday that Admiral Hart, Of
ficially described as in i'll health,
Is now on his way to Washington.

rier which the Navy did not iden-
tify participated in the now-famous

u. 5. Plane Goal,
81 Minutes TO
Complete Unit
By L. W. SHoLLESBERGER
GATED rre~ stan Correspondent


WASHINGTON, May 13--lt
The aircraft industry is 10 meet
President RooScvelt's goal Of 10000
war planes this year, il must turn
out a complete military plane
every So minutes OF each day.
This years goal, the War Pro-
duction Board said today. is more
than halt the number OF planes of
all types built in this country since
the first fight at Kittyhawk. y. c,
in 1904. During that period only
10000 planes-from puddle Jump
ers held together with bsiline wire
10 S2-ton army bonberS--were
built.
Quantity isn't everything. The
quality of planes coming off pro-
auction lines today is far superior
10 any other in the world. During
the last war. for example. engines
had 10 be overhauled every 50
hours. Today they can go 600
hours before being taken down. >"
ZERO" IN OTHER WAR
How far the aircraft industry
has progressed is best explained
by few statistics on the situation
during World War l, WPB said.
When the United States entered
that war il had IS military planes.
But 81 were obsolete and four
were "obsolescent, leaving a to-
tai air force of zero.
Production during World War I
reached 1927 military units and
5000 training units.
After that brief furry produc-
ton went back 10 a peacetime
basis and by 1889 the United
States was producing only 100
military planes a month. Foreign
orders doubled that during 1889
and, after Congress authorized
$500 aircraft, production reached
500 month by the spring of 1910.
That was an impressive expan-
sion, but il was only the begin
ming. The nation caught its breath
in May. l941. when President
Roosevelt told Congress he would
like TO see the industry "geared
UP TO the ability TO turn out at
least $4,000 planes year.
SIGHTS RAISED AGAIN
But il was not long before the
sights were raised again--to Co.
COO planes this year and lbs, 900
next year
In the first quarter of 194l
asout 1000 planes a month were
hcing built and by September that
figure was doubled. No production
figures have been released since
Pearl Harbor. but WPB chief
Dcnald Nelson said in March that
reduction was so per cent greater
than at the time of Pearl Harbor.
Unofficial estimates emanating
from Congress have placed March
production at about $500 planes.
Plants that formerly made auto
r-obiles. refrigerators. hardware,
electrical equipment and various
other peaeetime essentials are
turning out planes which the WPB
says are every inch American
worthy of the label. made in
America. Here are details about
some OF them:
