heavy bombers, striking for the
third time in three nights at the
sources of vast quantities of Ger

gases, last night pounded Lever
kusen, an industrial suburb of
Cologne, and today lighter Allied
planes followed up with a day
light foray against other targets.
The principal goal for the RAF
last night was group of plants

produce ingredients used in making
poison gas, although not the gas

Output Of War Goods

Production Surmounts

Ihe Nations output of War

a 5 per cent gain over September
largest since last April, with
production of the most impor-
tant munitions-aircraft, ships
ammunition, electronics and
guns-showing substantial i'm
provement, Chairman Donald
M. Nelson of the War Production
Board reported last night.
Aircraft production was up sharp
ly by all methods of measurement
10 per cent in numbers, 9 per cent
in sirframe weight and 10 per cent
in value. A total of 1852 planes
were made last month, 764 more
than in September. Early reports
indicate November plane production
is even better.
Entire Picture Better.
Mr.. Nelson said the entire pro-
duction picture is most encouraging
with manpower, occasional short
ages of materials and design changes
giving less trouble than in any re-
cent month. He added that, the
months record reflected the fact
that both workers and management,
had gained the experience, the pro.
duction know-how, which can come
only with time, practice and con-
slant effort" He predicted that
this "know-how" will be a continu.
ing influence from now on.

plane crashed into a mountain about

Its 18 occupants, II of whom were

Democratic Chieftains
Meeting Here Jan. y
ToP|an '44Convention
Big ConeIove Expected
To Be Held at Chicago
In August or September
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Chairman Frank C. Walker of
the Democratic National Com
mittee yesterday called a meet
ing of the group January % at
the MayfioWer Hotel to select the
time and place of the 1914 Demo-
cratic National Convention.
The chances are the convention
will be held in August or September
it was said in informed quarters
last night. That would be in keep
ing with Mr.. Walkers suggestion
that the campaign be short one.
If such late date is set, it will be
in anticipation that the party's
nominee for President will be
Franklin D. Roosevelt. There will
be no need for a long campaign
if the President seeks fourth term
If new candidate is to be put for
ward, the situation would be the
reverse.
Administration Control Expected.
Presumably the administration
forces in the national committee
will control when it comes to fixing
the time and place for the conven-
ton. A late date will not fit in with
the plans of those Democrats who
oppose denomination of Mr.. Roose-
welt.
The convention which nominated
the President and Vice President
Wallace in 1910 met in Chicago
July 1913. That was later date
than usual.
While Philadelphia and several
other cities have indicated they
would like to have the democratic
convention, the probabilities are
Chicago will be the convention city
Joseph B. Eastman, defense trans
portation director, wrote the chair
men of both party committees urg-
ing that Chicago be picked for the
conventions because it is centrally
located and would put less strain on
transportation facilities.
Walker Issues Statement.
Mr.. Walkers statement calling the
national committee meeting said:
The meeting will be co-ordinated
with the Inauguration of the Jack
son Day Dinners which the national
committee members will attend, anc
in the speeches to be made on this
occasion may be heard the answers
to lot of questions.
"To this extent January % may
be taken as the opening of the 1944
campaign, which, so far as the Dem
ocrats are concerned, has been de-
layed to avoid the confusion of poll
tics in the war situation. The din.
ner will be under the auspices ol
