a week later recommended that the
Office of Selective Service records
be set up to keep all draft files in

them in it's capital, under Federal
jurisdiction.
Extension Proposed.
The shift was to be made at the
end of, March. But Senator Gurney's
committee proposed yesterday, after
another closed-door session with
Secretary of War Patterson, that the
records be left where they are at
least through June even though
this would cost an extra $4,000, 600.
He estimated it would cost that
much to retain 5000 of the present
1900 paid employees.

5-Year Contract Plan
Urged for Aircraft
BY the Associated Pres.

The Presidents Air Policy Com.
mission is studying a proposal to
put aircraft procurement on a five
year basis in a move to stabilize
the industry.
Persons familiar with the commits
sion,s work said the proposal ap-
parently has widespread support
and predicted it would be among
the recommendations in the group S
forthcoming report.
Under the plan, procurement
agencies working on q base fixed by
Congress, would be allowed to award
construction contracts spread over
a five-year period. instead of on the
basis of annual appropriations.
Proponents of this plan say 1t
would permit an aircraft manu-
facturer to know in advance what
he could expect in the way Of con-
struction and thus make for more
orderly scheduling of work. One
objective is to avoid peaks and
valleys in employment and allow a
plane builder to keep intact staff
of experienced workers as the basis
for expanding personnel in the
event of an emergency.
The Presidents commission. as
we'll as the Congressional Air Policy
Board, has heard many suggestions
as to how large the United States
Air Forces should be, as we'll as how
much should be spent.
