ATTACK BOMBERS
PRODUCTION FOR ALLIES IN U.S.A. BIG CONTRACT IN SEATTLE. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.55 a.m.) SEATTLE, May 20. The Boeing Aircraft Company has contracted to produce 23 million dollars’ worth of twin-engined Douglas attack bombers for the Allies. A Washington message states that the Secretary to the Treasury, Mr Morgenthau, said that the United States was capable of producing two and a half times the present number of planes, “but motor production is already at top capacity with our and the Allies’ -orders.” The aeroplane situation would have been worse if the Allies had not put G 0,000,000 dollars into plant expansion.
