Defense Plan Hitch Seen in Air Corps Expansion
Washington August 9 The failure of Congress to grant the War Department broader powers to buy more than 2000 planes hinders rapid air force reinforcement. The Senate approved the measure. the House blocked it on adjournment eve. Louis Johnson predicted delay would be avoided and the 5500 plane goal met in two years with industry cooperation. The bill would let orders go to the three lowest bidders rather than the single lowest. Officials said some powers would be available under a 1926 act after hurried talks this week.
