Washington, D. C. U.R OffU clal sources revealed Friday that the lend-lease program now calls for production of 15,000 planes, 330 merchant ships and about tanks for the British. Great Britain, officials said, has expressed, hope that the United States will be able to complete the program by July, 1942. The program, which also provides for large quantities of ordnance and food supplies, will be financed by the $7,000,000,000 war-aid appropriation.

Most of the planes will be tactical craft, predominantly bomb-ers. Approximately 13,000 of them will be for the Royal air force. The remainder will be for the air arm of the British navy. Most of the tanks will be medium virtually the same as those. being produced for the U.

S. army. May Enlarge Shipyards. The merchant ships, officials indicated, will be similar in design to the 60 vessels now being constructed here for the British. Shipyards engaged on British orders placed before' enactment of the lend-lease law probably will be enlarged to handle the new pro gram.

A largo number of aircraft engines, to serve as replacements, and a sizeable order of machine tools also will be produced for the British. According to one responsible official, the British are placing more and more emphasis on finished products from the United States rather than on raw materials. He explained that this was a result of destruction of some British production facilities and of their "need for so much more in the immediate future." "Hard Struggle." This official also said "it will be a hard struggle" to complete the program by July, 1942, but he thought it could be done. He said the army and navy and possibly the maritime commission will have to waive deliveries on many of their defense orders in favor of the British. "We're going to have to build many new plants if we're going to give effective aid to the British," he continued.

He doubted that aid to Britain and other axis foes would be confined to the $7,000,000,000 appropriated by congress for that purpose. He said he would wager that even before the present program is completed, congress would be asked to transfer additional equipment and supplies being produced for this country's defense. Nazis Ahead of Britain. Germany, he said, is still far ahead of Britain in producing for war and "the British needs are terrific." The Germans, he continued, have very effectively mobilized the resources of occupied countries. He expressed the opinion, based on data which he has seen, that the British merchant marine was adequate for the present, unless the German sea war is intensified.

He said he thought enough new ships would be completed here in time to handle the peak load of war shipments from this country. Sir Arthur Salter, British shipping expert, arrived here Thursday to begin consultations on Britain's ship requirements. Demand Surrender of Port at Once; Grieve Over Loss of Benghazi.
