and medical supplies, concentrated

duction machinery.
NEED COMBAT PLANES
1t Gen. Henry II. Arnold chief
of the army air forces. told the
military affairs subcommittee that
production of combat planes must
not be cut below existing levels,
because output is dovetailed with
the production efforts Of Allied
powers.
The army needs all the cargo
planes il can get. he said. He
argued. however, that they should
be made ont of nonCritical mate
rails and should be built in half
the dime now required TO produce
a cargo plane.
This was interpreted 10 mean
that. from his point Of view, the
proposal Of Henry J. Kaiser, Pa

Asked what non-critical ma

tional cargo planes. General Ar
mold replied that they might be
made of plywood or any suitable
materials other than aluminium.
