Brief summaries of their reports

Col. John Jouett, president OF
the Aeronautical Chamber OF
Commemorative can tell you
that the production of aircraft is
up to all the schedules set up by
the government. In March-the
fourth month after Pearl Harbor
we built nearly 20 per cent
more planes than we did in the
month preceding Pearl Harbor
In those months production OF
heavy four-engined bombers in.
creased almost 200 per cent. We
have more than 20 new combat
planes in process of development
today. We are not only building
the best planes, and lots of them
but our air services are getting

Scrap rubber collected in Mich.

drive is being shipped to stock
piles outside of the stare, the first
step in retaining the rubber, at
the rate of six carloads a day,
Howard A. Coffin. chairman of

day
The SiX-carload rate is the fast
est speed which presents transpor-
tation faeitieS permit.
Coffin pointed out that trans

at present in the scrap rubber
