that she has testified at a Congressidnal investigation. Last spring she

appeared before a House Committee to criticize conditions at a local hos-

pital which she had visited. ° On Stand an Hour She concluded her testimony today after having been on the witness stand in the brightly lighted,

crowded caucus room-—temporary|

quarters of the House—for more than an hour. Before leaving the hearing she | shook hands with Mrs. David) ° Thomas, mother of a migrant family | whose earlier testimony had pre-| cipitated the union discussion. Mrs. Thomas said her husband, an elec-| trician, had sought work at $1.65 an| hour at Ft. Meade, Md., project, but} was told that he must pay $300 in| union initiation fees and dues.

“What is your thought about |

that?” asked Rep. John Sparkman| (D. Ala.). “Was the union A. F. of L. or OC 1. 0.2” Mrs. Roosevelt asked. Rep. Sparkman said he didn’t} ~ know, but asked her to comment.

“May Be a Racket” “There is a division in the elec-|

trical workers,” Mrs. Roosevelt said. |

“There are certain rackets. I suppose that may be one, but I don’t| know the immediate situation and I} could not pass upon it. “If it is not a racket there are ~ possibilities “of adjustment. I think you ought to get the local union head here, and find out about it, and; have it out. It would be very interesting.” Mrs. Roosevelt said, in reply to a question by Rep. Frank Osmers (R. N. J), that unless there is planning now for the future when the defense program slackens off “we are going to have mass migration again.” “We have time. We are not at war. There are plenty of people with brains and ability to see into the future. Ang it is criminal if we are not using them today.”

Morgenthau Wants Cor: gress to Tax Bonds; Sets Pace With Note Issue.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (U. P.) — 'Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. today backed a draft of funds to: force ‘slacker money” to contribute to national defense by removing tax exemption privileges from Federal bonds.

request the new Congress for -auithority to issue wholly taxable 'borids. He pointed out that his ‘department already has that discreition in Treasury notes and will take advantage of it in a $500,000,000 financing tomorrow. Small Sums Welcome.

Referring to income from tax‘exempt bonds as “slacker money,”

“privilege” of contributing to na‘tional defense; that he “would not ‘turn down 25 cents” if it gave the average American the feeling that he was part of the rearmament program. “You can’t expect a man to work eight or 10 hours a day (as |drafted soldier) for one dollar a day ‘unless he feels that everybody else is making his contribution too,” he said. “We have got to raise an awful lot of money and I want as many people as possible to take part in raising it.” Savings Bonds Widely Held

He described a program, similar to the Liberty Loan drives of the World War, in which every citizen would be called upon to contribute. He recalled the World War “stamp plan” in which Americans could buy 25-cent stamps to paste in a book and indicated he was giving it serious consideration. The tax exemption plan, he said, had been discussed with the Federal Reserve Board and members of Congress who had approved it, Approximately 2,500,000 citizens

Mr. ‘Morgenthau told the “House

Ways and Means Committee Saturday that he had limited the De=

cember. financing to $500,000,000 because he wanted to see what action Congress would take on such ques= tions as raising the debt limit and imposing new taxes. He believes the legal debt limit should be raised to match national defense appropriations “at least.”

CYLINDER BOMB

Looks Like Container for Gas Mask, Londoners Are Warned.

LONDON, Dec. 10 (U. P.) —Police and air raid wardens warned Londoners today against a new, deadly German bomb which resembles a gas mask container and explodes in the hands of anyone who picks it up.

Bombs of this type were scattered about London during the ferocious all-night German raid Sunday night and Moriday morning. The bomb consists of a metal cylinder, which contains a small bomb and from which dangles about five inches of wire. The cylinder is in four parts, which are supposed to separate as the bomb falls. Two of these parts become a rough sort of parachute, two becoming rotating vanes. The bomb drops from the cylinder to the end of the wire, which keeps it attached to the parts of the cylinder. The bomb may explode on landing. If it does it may cause casualties within a radius of 50 feet.

“It is partly because the demand for production of munitions is becoining so insistent that increasing amounts of overtime are being added to our abnormally brief, legal working week. Finally, the price of labor is going up because the labor organizations have the power to force it up.” Col. Ayres warned that the national problem of munition production was “not merely how much, but how soon.” “The outstanding lesson of this new modern warfare is that if you want to be prepared to fight you must be very strong indeed and if you want to be prepared not to fight

that,” he said. “Our objective is to

| become too strong to have to fight.”

He said that “we shall need all the energy that we can muster and all the co-operation of which we are capable. “The task is formidable, for Germany really has a secret weapon. It is a weapon that we had once and if it has partly slipped from our grasp we must regain it. The name of that weapon is hard work. We cannot win without it, but with it we can.”

group of the Republican Party lor the next four years. Of the 12 Republican district chairmen who comprise the state committee, Ewing Emison of Vincennes, Seventh District chairman, appears to have the advantage in factional maneuvers in the Legislature. There are 12 Republican legisiators from his district, two more than any other district, and with this bloc in the (General Assembly, he is expected to be a commanding figure behind the scenes. Mr. Emison was one of the original backers of State Senator William E. Jenner in the latter's unsuccessful race for the Governor nomination. Since Mr. Jenner is majority leader of the Senate, and his campaign manager, Frank T. Millis, is majority leader of the House, a powerful legislative combine seems to be in the making.
