Production of 500
Bombers a Month
Sought by President
Big Boost Demanded
To Take Command of
Air From Axis
Thus far in Europe s aerial war
Britain has been concerned pri
marily with defensive strategy,
requiring greater numbers of
fighter planes than bombing at
tack planes. As conflict goes on
and British fighter equipment
presumably comes closer to Ger
man in quantity, there icill be
greater emphasis on heavy, long
range bombers by which battle
may be carried more frequently
to continental air.
Iyt tb*> Associated Press.
President Roosevelt made a big
boost in heavy bomber production
an urgent objective today.
He instructed Secretary of War
Ptimson to get the job done "with
all possible speed ’ and gave him a
aecret production figure as the mark
to be attained.
Authoritative reports were that
Mr. Roosevelt had called for 500
long-range, four-motor bombers a
month—an output at least 10 times
greater than at present. Heavy
bombers in such quantities, airmen
said, would be an offensive weapon
Which the Axis could not meet.
The President made his call for a
•‘substantial" production increase
last night in a letter to Secretary
Stimson, directing him to "take
whatever action is needed" to at
tain the production rate set in an
accompanying private memorandum.
Command of Air Sought.
“Command of the air by the
democracies must and can be
achieved," he wrote. "Every month
the democracies are gaining in the
relative strength of the air forces.
We must see to it that process is
hastened and that the democratic
superiority in the air be made abso
lute.”
Mr. Roosevelt said that more
heavy bombers were needed both for
the defense of this country and for
"thp vital defense of other demo
cratic nations."
The President's instructions re
called the recent appraisal which
William S. Knudsen made of the
value of heavy bombers.
"If we had 2,000 of that type now."
the O. P. M. chief said of one 4
motor bomber, "we could fix things 1
up over there.”
Mr. Stimson s roll-out-the-bomb
ers assignment would probably re
quire more than a year, airmen said,1
before the 500-a-month production
peak could be reached. However, it
was noted that steps to expand
bomber production capacity already j
were well under way.
At the moment only two heavy
homber plants are actually in pro
duction, and their combined output
has been reported to be less than 50
planes a month.
Two new assembly plants for
heavy bombers, however, already are
under construction at Tulsa. Okla
end Fort Worth. Tex., which will
turn out 50 apiece each month be
ginning some time this fall. The
automobile industry is working on
manufacture of the parts these
plants will assemble.
The War Department is under
taking to set up three of four more
plants. A contract for one was ■.
given this spring to Glenn L. Martin
Co. at Baltimore, and officials said
that the other plants were provided
for in the $1,500,000,000 available for
additional munitions facilities under
the lease-lend bill and a supple
mental defense appropriation.
Plant Enlargement lMscussen.
Plans likewise were in the dis- ;
russion stage for'enlarging an $11,
000.000 plant at Ypsilanti, Mich., so
that it can turn out completed 21
ton bombers Instead of merely air ,
frames. The plant is being built by i
Henry Ford.
Informed sources said that, to j
help speed the program, some plants j
manufacturing fighter planes might |
be called on to make bomber parts.
There was no apparent intent, how
ever. they reported, to switch
fighter plants from their present
models. The plan, they said, might i
be to get each of these plants to j
turn out some extra parts that could
be used for the bombers.
In April aircraft manufacturers
delivered 1.427 military planes, an
Increase of 211 over the March total.

of bachelor of arts. Among his
classmates was the late Thomas C.
Noyes who, until his death in 1912,
was a constant colleague on The
i Star. In the summer of 1889 Mr.
Kauffmann was selected as a mem
, ber of one of the earliest, if not the
first, summer scientific expeditions
sent to the Far West by the college,
the notable accomplishments of
which resulted in their annual con
tinuation until the present day. In
1892 Princeton conferred upon him
the degree of master of arts.
Covered Notable Events.
Almost immediately after leaving
college Mr. Kauffmann started to
work as a cub reporter and in due
time became one of the owners,
member of the Board of Directors
and one of the officials of the com
pany which publishes The Star. As
a general newsman his energy, his
sense of news value, his training
under the late Harry Godwin, who
was long in charge of the news
department, and his gift of expres
sion soon caused him to be consid
ered one of the best all-around re
porters on duty in the District.
His record include^ many "beats"
and exclusive stories, and after a
brief period he was usually given
assignments of either special diffi
culty or special interest. He was
detailed to cover several notable
criminal trials. He was assigned to
attend and describe the great in
ternational naval review held at
Hampton Roads. Va., in 1893 in
commemoration of the 400th anni
versary of the discovery of America.
He covered the first national con«
vention. held here, of the Daughters
of the American Revolution. That
was the day when the sessions of
this now staid organization were,
to say the least, colorful and stren
uous and offered a wealth of ma
terial for unusual news stories.
On the occasion of the famous
Ford's Theater disaster of 1893,
when several floors of that historic
structure, then used as a govern
mental office building, collapsed and
killed and injured many employes,
Mr Kauffmann was the first report
er on the scene. Seated on the sill
of a front window to which he had
managed to climb and whence he
could command a view of the seeth
ing interior, he wrote upon his knee
the running story of the tragedy,
throwing it down leaf by leaf to
waiting messengers. That night,
after the final extra Star had been
issued, at the request of Hobart
Brooks, then representing the New
York Herald in Washington, he dic
tated an entirely distinct story for
that newspaper which, printed ver
batim. filled eight full columns.
50th Year C ommemoraiea.
From time to time during his long
newspaper career he supplied The
Star with feature articles on various
topics and about 1900 he was made
literary' editor. This was at a time
when The Saturday Star was the
big issue of the week. Later, with
the inception of The Sunday Star
in 1905. he became Sunday editor.
He had served as treasurer of the
company since 1912. Mr. Kauffmann
was also one of the two trustees
who administer the employes' pen
sion, disability and death benefit
plan, inaugurated some years ago.
In October. 1939. the Board of
Directors of the company officially
commemorated the occasion of the
completion of Mr. Kauffmann's fif
tieth year of service on The Star.
In 1894. Mr. Kauffmann married
Miss Jessie Christopher of Chicago,
who survives him.
He is also survived by two sons.
Philip C. Kauffmann. former city
editor of The Star, and Samuel Hay
Kauffmann. assistant business man
ager of The Star, and by nine
grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Kauff
mann for some years past have
made their home at 1901 Twenty
| fourth street N.W.
During his entire life Mr. Kauff
mann took a great and constructive
Interest in charity and philan

were his interest in the American
; Red Cross and in wounded ex-service
! men. particularly at Walter Reed
Hospital. For a period of years he

permitted them to leave.
Traveled Widely.
A love of travel and outdoor life
of sports, particularly golf, fishing
and motoring, took Mr. Kauffmann
on many journeys both in this coun
try and abroad. The pleasures of
angling were indulged in at his per
manent summer home near the
White Mountains area of New
Hampshire and on the Tobique River
in New Brunswick. Canada. He was
i for many years an active member
of the Tobique Salmon Club. He
was a member of the Board of
Directors of the National Savings A:
Trust Co., and at the time of his
death he held membership in the
Chevy Chase. University. Blue Ridge
Rod and Gun Clubs, and in the
Percy Summer Club of New Hamp- 1
shire and the Nassau Club of Prince
ton. N. J. He was also a member
of the Grolier Club and had a strong
interest in beautiful examples of the
printers’ and the bookbinders' arts.
Agents to Scrutinize
Tax Returns of All
Below $5,000 Level
Treasury Is Expected
To Be Lenient With
Unwitting Violations
In order to make sure the Federal
Government gets every cent of in
come tax due it. the internal Rev- -
enue Bureau has sent into the field I
1,731 deputy collectors appointed
since last October to scrutinize the
returns of all 1040A blanks—the in
come tax blanks of those whose in
come was less than $5,000 a year— j
it was disclosed today.
Hitherto, the Treasury has con
centrated on examination of the j
large-scale returns and paid little '
attention to the small taxpayers.
Tire unprecedented study was or
dered by Congress in a bill passed
last autumn. The deputy collectors,
w-hq^e salaries range from $1,600 to
$2,100 each a year, were appointed
almost at once and during the win- j
ter and early spring were assigned i
tasks to familiarize themselves
with the Internal Revenue Bureau
routine.
The Treasury, it was learned, will
give a sympathetic hearing to all
small taxpayers guilty of violations
of the revenue laws. The point of
view animating the investigators is
that many of the 8.000.000 men and
women who on March 15 paid Fed
eral income taxes for the first time
in their lives may easily have made
mistakes, wholly innocent but
costly to the Government.
Although the law permits the as
sessment of heavy penalties against
tax-law violators, the Treasury may
. be disposed simply to collect the un
| paid taxes without invoking the
' law's penalty clauses.

Water Gate Concert
Ruling Weighed by
Musicians’ Union
Orchestra Is Asked
To Play Five-Week
Season at Same Pay
Whether Washington will have its
“Sunset Symphonies" at the Water
Gate this summer depended largely
today on the outcome of a noon
meeting of the Executive Board of
the Musicians' Protective Union.
The threat to the summer con
certs. according to officials of the
National Symphony Orchestra Asso
ciation. results from the ruling of
the Office of National Capital Paiks
that the orchestra will be allowed
only a five-week season at the Water
Gate this summer instead of the
six weeks it has customarily had
and has asked for again this season.
Faced by a deficit, since the sum
mer series has not been underwritten
this year, the association has asked
the union to accept the same rale
of pay per week as it did last year,
but for five weeks, instead of the
eight weeks' pay it had last year
and the six weeks' pay of previous
years.
Willing to Take Gamble.
H. A. Brooks, chairman of the
Summer Concerts Committee, said
his group was willing to "take a
gamble" because it felt Washington
should have the concerts. Anything
%'hich adds to the expenses, such as
a salary increase for the musicians
to make up for the shorter season,
would jeopardize the concerts, he
said.
A union spokesman said the union
executive board would decide at its
meeting today whether it would be
agreeable to a shorter season "in
the face of the apparently arbitrary
ruling" from Parks Supt. Irving C.
Root.
The union official added that al
though other groups appeared will
ing to change their tentative dates
at the Water Gate to allow the or
chestra its customary season, Mr.!
Root had told union members that !
the five-week season was definite
and would not be expanded.
Patriotic Programs.
Mr. Root said he felt cutting the
orchestra season to five weeks would
give more groups an opportunity to
put on programs at the Water Gate
and would make for more diversified
summer entertainment. Six weeks,
he said, was a long time for nothing
but music.
The orchestra season, as it is
scheduled at present, would extend
from June 30 to August 1. Addi
tional days during that period would
be granted as usual for concerts
postponed because of rain, Mr. Root
said.
Although the plans for other en
tertainment are not yet definite. Mr.
Root said, tentative arrangements ;
have been made for patriotic and
defense programs, and opera pres
entatioas by the San Carlo Opera
Co. and Columbia Light Opera Co.
The patriotic and defense programs. I
Mr. Root said, would probably be
given by Government departments j
although no plans have yet been
completed.

Commander Ordered
To Walter Reed
Col. Walter W. Burns, command
ing officer of the 260th Coast Artil
lery, District anti-aircraft regiment
now on active duty at Fort Bliss,
Tex., was expected to arrive at
Walter Reed Hospital here today for
medical observation.
Col. Burns entered a hospital at
El Paso for a physical checkup a
month ago. and was relieved of his
command. The regiment was placed
in temporary command of Lt. Col.
Leroy S. Mann, regimental executive
officer.
It was understood Co!. Burns' con
dition grew worse and authorities
decided to have him moved to
Walter Reed. He reportedly lelt
El Paso by train Saturday.
Col. Burns, who organized the
260th as a National Guard unit
shortly after he returned from World ,
War duty overseas, has been the :
active commander.of the organiza
tion since that time. When District
Guardsmen were called to active
duty in January the 260th was the
first unit to be inducted.
One battalion of the regiment
made the 2,100-mile trip to Fort
Bliss by motor convoy, vith Col.
Burns in charge. Progress of the
convoy was of widespread interest
and was reported by newspapers
throughout the country. Col. Burns
gave up his practice as a patent at
torney here when his regiment was
inducted.
When more than 1.000 Washing

for assignment to the 260th to bring
it up to authorized war strength,
Col. Burns returned to Washington
for a few days to welcome the new
men personally and see that they
were made comfortable during the
trip to Texas. He became ill shortly
after he went back to Fort Bliss.

French Curb Restaurants
As Food Shortage Grows
B> the Associated Press.
VICHY. France. May 6.—With the
food shortage becoming more acute
in unoccupied France, despite the
arrival of two shiploads of free
American flour, the government de
cided today to restrict the amounts

At the same time the French wine
industry admitted a growing
scarcity.
A decree to be published tomor

in definite categories.
Among other things, there will be
no more a la carte meals in French

representatives of the Conciliation
Service of the Labor Department
continued their conferences today,
hoping for a settlement of the strike
which has tied up the company's
buses on the Eastern coast and in
terrupted some schedules to the
Middle West.
L. J. Smith and J. L. Conner of
the Conciliation Service and Assist
ant Secretary of Labor Daniel W.
Tracy joined the bus officials and
leaders of the A. F. of L. Amalga
mated Association of Street, Elqptric

ployes around the conference table.
Yesterday's conferences failed to
bring a settlement, and the 1.400
employes of the line remained idle.
Four men were arrested in nearby
Prince Georges County, Md.. and
charged with “tampering with a
motor vehicle’’ and other offenses.
They are alleged to have waited
along a Maryland road and stoned
a fleet of buses which were being
driven from Baltimore to Washing
ton for storage.
