By Sandor S. Klein
(Untied Press Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, May 9 (UP).—Defence officials are working on schedules en- visaging production of 80,000 planes for the United States and Great Britain by the summer of 1943, including the 33,000 now on order.

It may therefore be available

The 80,000-plane, programme, officials said, undoubtedly would entail a further expansion In aircraft production facilities, Of the 33,000 planes now on order, 19,000 are for the United States and. 14,000 for the British. The lend-lease appropriation contains funds for 10,000 more for the British.
Defence production Chief William S. Knudsen, who believes this country can produce twice as much as Germany when it gets started, expects this programme can be completed by mid-summer next year.
