Los Angeles, Oct. 16.

Sixty Lockheed war planes for delivery to Britain in the event arms embargo is repealed were camouflaged with grey paint today in preparation for a take-off and delivery flight to Newark, N.J.

The planes are to fly one by one to Newark and not in squadron formation. They will probably be flown this week, fifteen from Burbank and fourteen from Alhambra. They were reported to be moving closer to their destination in order to ex-podite the matter of shipment if the embargo is lifted.—United Press.
