TO PRESIDENT’S GOAL AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION IN U.S.A. POSITIONS AS TO SHIPS & TANKS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day. 10.40 a.m.) RUGBY, August 11. Aircraft production might not reach the President’s goal of 60,000 planes this year, but would come close to it, the spokesman of the United States War Production Board (Mr Donald Nelson) said, according to a Washington message. He believed the flow of aircraft would reach 8,000 a month by the end of the year, to balance lower production earlier. The outlook, Mr Nelson stated, was good for achieving the shipbuilding goal for 1942, although building was somewhat behind schedule. The situation in regard to tanks was the same.
