17,590. This adds up to a grand
total of 919,807.
The first contingent of nation-
al guardsmen—60,500 from 26
states has been called np by Pres.
Roosevelt for a year of active
training. Another 800,000 men
wil the called up under the con-
scription bill for a year’s service
this fall and next spring.
One enters the land of haze
when it comes to getting figures
on the army ainforce and on plane
contracts let. The army appar-
ently has something like 5000
airplanes, of which 2700 are good
for training. It has about 2000
rated as combat planes, but not
many pj them.are modern., c.
A few days ago the War De-
partment issued speed-up letters
to 15 plane companies, five plane
engine companies, and one pro-
peller firm. These letters author-
ize them to go ahead and procure
necessary gauges, dies, tools and
materials for the manufacture of
14,394 planes costing about $817,-
000,000 ; 28,282 engines costing
about $377,000,000, and propellers
costing about $57,000,000.
On Sept 13 contracts were let
for 73 airplanes and a large
number of engines, the total in-
volved being $41,000,000. Ac-
5 cording to War Department fig-
> urea, this makes a total of 3533
• planes on order, 1503 of them
combat types. The regular ap-
propriation authorized 4247
planes, the second supplementary
appropriation authorizes about
14,000 more.
Of planes now on order, 333
are heavy-engined bombers, 20
light attack bombers, 530 pursuit
planes, 20 transport planes, 600
primary trainers, 500 basic train-
ers, and 887 advanced trainers.
On Sept. 9 the President signed
a bill appropriating another $5,-
000,000,000 for national defense.
On the same day the Navy De-
partment let contracts for the gi-
gantic .s u m of $3,861,053,312
w*orth of fighting ships.
I From Jan. 1 to Sept. 3, 1940,
the navy had ordered from pri-
vate shipyards three aircraft car-
riers, four heavy criaers, 13 light
cruisers, 15 destroyers of 2100
