Pres. Roosevelt
WASHINGTON, June 7 (Reu- ter).-President Roosevelt dis- closed that he is asking Congress for legislation to permit the government to return old types of guns to manufacturers for re- sale to the Allies.
The procedure would be the same as that which the 'Navy Department hus adopted regarding surplus planes.
President Roosevelt Indicated that; more "trade-ins" like that with the Curtiss Company could be expected in order to transfer to the Allies addi- tional quantities of planes.
The President said that new planes could not be transferred in this manner, but added that "planes can get out of date darned fast."
Navy Bombers Available
As an example of this, the Presl- dent said, the Navy bombers which were only recently delivered had no armour or self-sealing petrol tanks, and for this reason they were out of date.
President Roosevelt said that he understood arrangements had been mude for the release of considerable quantities of ammunition.
