Airplane specifications have been thoroughly over
hauled in recent weeks, it is also said, in an effort to elim
inate. requirements of extraordiarv stmctional strength
and fineness of material in non-strain bearing sections,
whether made of wood or of metal, which has hampered
production and raised problens of raw material supply
which have been more or less unsolvable in view of the
quantity of machines desired. Much of this has only been
possible because of the building during the past year,
which has furnished an experience upon which to develop
innovations. A policy of official secrecy concerning all de
tails of the airplane program is still in effect.
BLACK MARKS FOR DRAFT EVADERS.
The Department of Justice has notified all United
>’ate - attorneys to cause indictments to be returned again
st all citizens of the United States who have removed to
athei countries in order to evade military service.. These
indictments will be returned regardless of the fact that
there may be no immediate probability of apprehending
sons accused. The entire service of the law depart
mem. will be used in ferreting out these cases and accumu
lating evidence in support of the charges. It is the determ
ination of the Government that this sort 'packer will be
t everelv dealt with on his return to theTJnifed States, if
he should ever come back..
