Record Output
OF Planes
Cited for July
Unusual Disclosure
Made in Reply to
Charges Of Lag
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

War production officials an
nounced yesterday that 1873
military airplanes were turned
out in July, a new high record,
but they warned that plane pro-
duction Is not good enough since
1t is considerably behind sched-
ule.
WPB Chairman Donald M. Nell
son and Vice Chairman Charles E.
Wilson said preliminary figures in
dicated production In both num-
bers and weight increased per cent
over June.
The output of heavy bombers,
they added, likewise established a
new record, with gain over June
OF l3 per cent. This figure, 1t was
learned later, pertains to numbers.
Need $4,000 Workers Monthly.
Meanwhile Bernard M. Baruch,
adviser to War Mobilization Direc-
tor Byrnes. is said to have before
him information showing that plane
plants will need $1,000 additional
employees each month for the next
year if projected peak production
Is to be reached, indicating the
tremendous manpower problem fac
ing the industry.
Mr.. Baruch, together with inter-
ested war agencies, is making an
investigation of plane production
problems. Because of labor turn
over the principal reason plants are
behind schedule, it is estimated that
altogether as many as 2,000, 900
workers will have to be hired within
year.
The top WPB officials issued
joint statement in answer to re-
ports given wide circulation that
airplane production had declined
sharply last month. 1t was the
earliest that plane production fig-
ures ever had been given out and
one of the few occasions precise
statistics have been released at all.
"Airplane production needs to In
crease still faster and reach still
higher totals If the schedules of
our armed forces are to. be met"
the Nelson-W Wilson statement said.
Production of all military goods,
including airplanes, has now
reached level at which additional
gains can be made only by the most
determined effort.
Trend Is Upward.
"The July record in aircraft pro-
duction, while not up to the high
schedules set, clearly shows that the
trend is definitely upward. Never
theless, it must be emphasized that
very hard, difficult job Is still
ahead of us, one that will call for
all the effort we can muster"
In May, the last month for which
plane figures were given, total of
7,015 were produced. The output
of June is reported as only hand
full more, though on a weight basis
the gain was greater, rejecting the
trend to big, offensive craft.
Reports had indicated that July
production of heavy bombers was
particularly bad. This impression.
