OUTPUT OF PLANES
FIVE HUNDRED A DAY PLAN ADVOCATED IN UNITED STATES. WOULD SWAMP LUFTWAFFE AFTER SIX MONTHS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, December 29. Mr Walt Reuther, director of the General Motors Division of the United Automobile Workers, who is the author of the Congress of Industrial Organisation's plan to build 500 fighter planes daily with the aid of idle automobile plant facilities, broadcast a plea for the speedy adoption of the plan lest it be 100 late to aid Britain. He said that if the plan were imple.mented immediately enough planes would be turned out after six months to swamp the Luftwaffe. “This is Labour’s plan,” he said. “Why should Labour concern itself with speeding plane production? It is concerned because it believes that the country’s main defence is a little fortress isle holding off the Nazi bombers on the other side of the Atlantic.”
