CLOSE TO GOAL
U.S. PLANE OUTPUT SHIPPING AND TANKS WILL REACH OBJECTIVES (10.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. Aircraft production might not reach President Roosevelt’s goal of 60,000 this year, but it would come close to it, the spokesman of the War Production Board said. He believed that the. flow of aircraft would reach 8000 a month by the end of the year to balance the lower production earlier. The outlook was good for achieving the shipbuilding goal for 1942, although building was somewhat behind schedule. The situation in regard to tanks was the same.
