Part for M^afaetorliig Part of the money is to provide manufacturing facilities for the equipment of an army of that size and to make the necessary guns, bombs, armor, bombsights and am munition for a greatly oilarged air force. The program calls fmr the im mediate procurement of 15,000 more planes for the army and 4,000 more for the navy, cMnptete with spare en gines, armament and the iriost mod em equipment. In the president’s words, “If the United States is to have any defense it must be total defense. We cannot defend ourselves a little here and a little there.” — ^ The preparations which this addi tional program will get under way will meet the utmost requiranents that have been proposed by any groups of naval and military men for the defense of the United States.

I HEAVY HIGHWAY..^—- TRAVEL HELPS TIRE SALES GAIN “When a motorist tries to squeeze the last penny’s worth of mileage out of worn-out tires he’s taking big chances, and why should he|take any risks wiien, during our special mid summer sale, he can obtain new tires jit rockbottom figures — prices that certainly are imusually attractive? Besides, it matters not whether the motorist has the ready cash, because we’ll sell him .Goodyears, mount them cm his car and he can pay for them on easy installments as he rides,” said J. Hubert Owens, manager of McDaniel Vulcanizing Works, local Goodyear dealers. “Our ten-day special bargain sale starts July 24 and ends August 3. We have an unusually large asaortment of sizes of all types of tires so no customer need be disappointed. “A wcmderful buy is the All- American, which was introduced cmly a short thne ago and has been selling like hot cakes ever since. Just think of it—only $5.15 for the 4.75-5J>0-19 and other sizes in proportioff. And the famous Marathon only $8.95 for the 8.00-18. “Another thing, during this sale we have put the price of the Lile- Guacd, that tire within a tire, wh^ is packed with safety for the moro- ist, down to the lowest figure we have ever quoted. “T^ ,i8 the-.season of the year, when me highways are pretty well choked with cars—people on vacation tours, driving to the lakes, the sea- shemav the mountains or perhaps to one or both of the World’s Fairs. Motorists should take no chances with thin Urea. Why should ttiey, whan the beet for the money in tiraa can ba obtained, along with credit tenns If desired? There isn't .g tm- the sun why a cor oamar not discard his wmn-out -tiras now iaad replara them with depand- able Goodyears. ^ ^Awffwhan wa put o^ tires wrgive rlniB a ffiorougb cteanlng. ramov' ing al iMolgn eitoetancaa which might Injora Eras.

How far that proposal will get in congress is still questionable. Any system of conscription in time of peace, whether it is labelled “se lective" or compulsory, is beginning to be opposed by organized groups whose ‘influence is yet unknown. A large group of educktors, clergy, and business leaders have already filed a protest against the plan. Mjatory-ffehred-...--. ■ Thejnystery of the delay in get ting contracts placed and work be gun on airplanes, airplane engines and other needed munitions was solv ed when it was disclosed that manu facturers were hesitant about making commitments under the provisions* of existing tax laws. Many came to Washington to see what they could! do, or because they had been sent for, and have gone back home deter mined not to bid on or accept gov ernment contracts. The hitch has been the fear in con- gresRUthat somebody might make a profiv out of war preparations. There is an act now on the statute books limiting such profits to 8 per cent, and allowing too Uttle deduction for depreciation on manufactiuring plants built especially for the manufacture of military and naval equipment. Since most of the things the army, navy, and air corps need will have to be built, in factories specially coo- stmeted tor the purpose, and since the 8 per cent profit aUowed has been Interpreted by the treasury as -an “excess” profit on which a very heavy income tax must be paid, mak ers of all sorts of military supplies have been figuring that th^ stood to lose money if they made contracts with the govemm«it. Some who had experience in such things in the World war remembered that they had. a great deal of difficulty in breaking even.
