WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-(UP)-
One, possibly two, of the four war
production goals fixed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for' 1912 will be
achieved but officials said today
that the entire effort now has been
placed on a more realistic" foot
ing
Ten months ago, the President
called for 10000 airplaneS. $4,000
tanks, 10000 anti-aircraft guns and
8 100000 deadweight tons of Ship-
ping for the current year. He
placed 1943 goals at 100000 dead
weight tons of ships-which subSe-
quently was raised to 100000 -
125, 900 planes, 10000 tanks and 35,-
900 anti-aircraft guns.
SHIPS ON SCHEDULE
War production board spokesmen
said the shipping objective will be
reached and that there is a posi-
bility it may exceed the goal by
about 100000 tons.
Anti-aircraft production, they
said, will reach the 10000 mark
only if all types are counted. Some
types already have been outmoded.
Best estimate on aircraft produc-
ton is between $4,000 and $4,000
planes.
The president said output of
planes and tanks has been cut to
produce weapons with greater strik-
ing power.
The revision, he said, was neces-
STATED in part by the experience
gained in the Libyan campaign.
Among things learned, he said, was
the need for a different and heav-
ier tank than the one on which
American production was concen-
trated.
