publican Emporia Gazette, an
nounced in a signed editorial yester-

straight COP ticket to vote for
President Roosevelt in the November

Mr.. White, son of the late William
Allen White, former editor of the
paper who several times was a dele
gate to Republican national conven-
tions, said he believed the President
was best equipped to meet the Rus

Mr.. White asserted that unless
foreign affairs are skillfully ham
died. "our country will be in grave
danger of another war within the
next decade-a war more bloody
than that which is not yet finished,
and one which we will have less
chance of winning"
His editorial said: g" The Rus
slams have believed that their future
safety depends upon a system of
Bolshevized or Communist-d
ed states, extending deep into the
heart OF Europe. Rather slowly they
are giving up this idea because the
Roosevelt administration is han
ding them with delicately bal
anced mixture of friendliness and

Plane Output SIashed
5Pcf. for Next Year;
Only $4,000 Ordered
By the Associated Press.

6s the Associated Press.
The aircraft production proe
gram for next year has been cut
another per cent, it was learned
today, under a new schedule
calling for about $4,000 planes,
compared with this years
100000.
The drop was attributed to the
continued lower than anticipated
losses in all combat zones and to
the general shift in production en-
phasis to aircraft adapted to the
Pacific war theater.
Despite the overall cut in both
tonnage and numbers, the adjust
ment was reported by informed
sources to include a step-up in the
planned production of superbombers
and at least one type of large trans
port plane.
An October output of 1929 planes
was reported yesterday by j. A.
krug, chairman of the Aircraft Pro-
ductlon Board. This was ION sched-
ule," Mr.. Krug said. The output YVES
1863 planes lower than in September.
Lags were reported in some of the
most urgently needed types-includ-
Ing superbombers and long-range
transports.
Some Fell Down Badly"
Some plants "fell down badly"
Mr.. Krug reported, at time when
manufacturers schedules were
trimmed so stringently that below
schedule output on a particular
model is bound to hamper planned
military operations.
while the October production
was good, continued all-out effort
must be exerted tn meet service re-
qulrements, particularly for the new
improved types Incorporating the
improvements dictated by battle
experience" he said
The new 1945 schedule, it was re-
ported, calls for gradual decline
as the year advances, having small
effect on the aircraft industry for i
the first six months or so, but taper
Ing to around 5000 planes a month
by December, 1945
The original objective for 1945,
as drawn early this year, was around
10000 planes. This has been pared
down at least three times, the last
previous schedule calling for output
OF about 5000 month throughout
the year.
Ship Production Improving.
Ship production for October, re-
ported by the Maritime Commission,
showed an improved output of the
assault cargo ships and transports
urgently needed by the Navy for
Pacific operations. Of the 145 ships
delivered by merchant yards, So were
military types, and of the latter,
more than half were combat
leaders" or Navy transports.
Total 1914 production of around
100000 deadweight tons in mer-
chant shipyards was indicated. This
Is considerably under the $4,000, 900
tons delivered last year, but the diff
ference Is attributed to the higher
proportion of fast vessels which are
slower to build but better adapted
to use in the Pacific war and post
war commercial operations.
