LONDON, Jan. 20-R-The
question of whether Germany
possesses any warplanes capable
of flying the Atlantic with q
load of bombs has been answer
ed by the crash of one such plane
in northeast England.
Aviation experts said that the
plane, which crashed after strik-
ing a barrage balloon cable, had
a range of $500 miles-suf-
ficient to enable 1t to bomb the
United States east coast from a
base in France but not enough
to get it home again.
The plane was identified as a
Dornier PIT, a development of
the old DO-17 which has been
known here as the flying pen
Gil" because of its elongated
fuselage.
That Germany has been de-
veloping such bomber has been
known in Britain for some time.
Last November the magazine
aeroplane published the follow
ing specifications of the craft:
Wing span, ~ feet, length SO
feet five inches: wing area. $50
square feet; weight empty, 49,
800 pounds; weight loaded, 30
$50 pounds; overload, $4,000

Expetf Outline
Of Nelson Plan
Production Chief
to Sketch Program

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O-UD
M. Nelson, chairman
of the new war production
board. was expected to present
an outline of his aggressive plans
for remodeling the administra-
ton of the war production eff
fort late today, at the boards
first meeting.
The nine-member board is
made up of the members Of the
supply priorities and ALLEGATIONS
board which it replaces, but it
does not share with Nelson the
sweeping powers over labor, in
dustry and governmental agen-
cies vested in the chairman by
President Roosevelt's executive
order of last Friday.
Nelson, deep in his reorgan-
ization plans, continued to work
at an exhausting pace. Sources
close. to him said that the. Of
flee of production management
probably would be unrecogniza-
bic when he finished, and that
even its name might disappear.
It was learned that Nelson
visited late yesterday with Sid
ney Hillman, in the hotel room
where Hillman was confined
with a cold. This visit spot
lighted one of the big questions
of the reorganiation-what will
become of Hillman's labor di-
vision?
Hillman's status, as associate
director general of OPM, has
been hazy since the director gen.
eral, William S. Knudsen, was
to the war depart
ment with Lieutenant Generals
rank as the Army's director Of
production. This cleared tn e
way for one-man production
control under Nelson, and it ap-
parently left up to the latter the
decision on where to place Hill
mans labor division.
Some officials commended that
Hillman's organization would
continue in charge Of all labor
except disputes, which
are handled by the war labor
board headed by William H.
Davis.
This would leave Hillman a
broad field of operations, chief
ly concerned with the increas-
ingly critical problems of labor
supply and of training unskilled
workers for war industry.
Both Knudsen q n d Hillman
are members Of the war produc-
ton board. Others besides Mel
son are Secretary of War Slim
son, Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox, Federal Loan Ad-
ministrator Jesse H. Jones, Price
Administrator Leon Henderson,
Vice President Henry A. Wal
lace and Harry L. Hopkins, spe-
cial assistant to the president.
