UP Authorities reported today that President Roosevelt's forthcoming recommendations for an expanded air force would be bulwarked by new and "startling" figures concerning German and Italian aerial might. Simultaneously. Representative Bruce Barton issued a public statement predicting that Congress would not allow the country to be "stampeded" on the national defense question.

"How much of this program really is for national defense and now much of it is for political defense?" he demanded. "In other words, how much is agitation to divert public attention from the results of the November elections?" Still another development was an assertion by Representative McCormack that he would ask Congress at its coming session to authorize construction of 10,000 planes and the training of an air force of 100,000 regulars and reserves. Planes Won at Well Informed persons said Mr. Roosevelt had heard from some of his advisers that the totalitarian powers were enabled to dictate the Munich settlement of Europe's September crisis by no less than a 6-to-l margin, in actual fighting planes, over Great Britain and France. Today, on the basis of revised estimates which authorities said were in the administration's hands, Germany and its ally are more than a match in the air for the rest of the world.

The reports, mostly piecemeal but represented to be well authenticated, have been sifted by War Department experts before being turned over to the White House. The evidence that Nazi Germany's feverish aerial armament, reinforced by Italy's threatened a complete shift in the world balance of power, was said by some close to the administration to have influenced Mr. Roosevelt's conferences here since Munich with the American envoys to Germany, Great Britain, Italy and France. Germany Leads World. Military and diplomatic officials said the evidence had given direction to the annual message to Congress which Mr.

Roosevelt is to deliver on Wednesday and to the special arms message, proposing a vast expansion of American air power, to follow a week later. Among the reports said to be given credence in high administration circles 1. In a single month, November, Germany's new aircraft plants, geared to war speed, turned out than 1,000 warplanes, triple the American monthly average this year. 2.

VP) Nazi determination to grow stronger in the new year was expressed on every hand tonight in the last hours of 1938 the breath-taking year which, in the words of Chancellor Hitler, "brought realization of a dream of centuries." These resolutions for 1939 expressed the official determination to achieve a stronger army, a stronger navy, stronger export trade, stronger muscles stronger everything.

"I am certain," said Hitler in a message to the army, "that you also in the future will always be ready to protect against everyone the nation's right to live." "The people can get out of depressions themselves. We don't have to appoint a House committee to put us to bed nnd sew buttons on our shirts.

Roosevelt already has unfolded an administration proposal to train 20,000 college youths annually as air pilots and has approved plans to school an even larger number of aviation mechanics. Informed officials are convinced he will ask Congress to authorize expansion of the army air force to some 10,000 planes. The navy already has authority for a fleet of 3,000 planes. Large military orders would call for top speed operation of the aviation industry and a gradual increase in productive capacity, a primary objective.
