DEFENSE | HURRY

You Ctra] Have Cake and Eat It; Too,’ Rep. Vinson Warns House Group.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (U. P.).— The trend of the House Naval Affairs Committee’s investigation of rearmament lags today indicated increasing Congressional temper to compel drastic curtailment of peacetime production in favor of an allout defense effort. Committee Chairman Carl Vinson ended an initial discussion by committeemen and Redr Admiral John

H. Towers, chief of naval aeronau-

tics, about effects of such a restrictive program with these words:

Proud of U. S. Planes

“I don’t need an expert to tell me you can’t have your cake and eat it. When there is a limited supply of skilled labor, you can’t parcel it out to all industry and still rush the defense program to the fullest extent.” Admiral Towers testified that the latest American naval planes are second to none and predicted that the U. S. naval air strength will far out-distance that of the Axis powers this year. He declared that a naval air mis#8ion which recently returned from reat Britain reported that the latt American fighters surpass Brit- a {sh fighters in fire power.

Marshall Asks Support

" Two high administrative leaders —Gen. George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, and William S.

Knudsen, director general of the |i

new super defense agency—meanawhile appealed for co-operation of the nation and industry for acceleration of the armament drive. In a radio interview last night, Gen. Marshall reported that an Army “worthy of America” is on the way but warned that ‘“wholehearted support” is essential if the defense program is to prove successful. Mr. Knudsen told a closed meeting of ‘manufacturers of machine tools, considered one of the major “hottlenecks” of the defense program, that they had done a “sweil job” but that “a stupendous job” Mas essential to keep industry at york on defense orders. The A. F. of L.s building and construction trades department adopted a resolution calling for “no strikes” on defense projects and settlement of labor disputes by arbitration.

The German High Command especially prides itself on its realism. : Thus, the pre-war sentiment of America being known for what it was, there can have been no reason for Hitler's advisers failing to inform him that America would probably—try to aid Great Britain by supplying munitions, if a conflict in Europe arose. That this advice was given seems beyond any doubt. Just as the German High Command looked to Rumania and Russia for supplies with which to fight the war both in the field and economically, so they knew Great Brit-

b sin would look to the United States.

Only, it was believed in Berlin that blitzkrieg tactics would end the war before American aid would be effecfive. « The blitzkrieg, however, did not dave sustaining power, Fhus far it has failed ito gain air mastery over the British Isles.

breastworks and fake cannon to make his little force seem impressive. He sent a small force of scouts out, dressed in the uniform of a regiment new to Africa, to show themselves and make the Boers: think relief had arrived. The Boers refused piously to fight on Sunday. Hence BadenPowell used to hustle the entire population of Mafeking from their cellars, organize them into various activities including concert groups, and keep them out of doors in order, as he explained if, to fill them with sufficient fresh air to last them for a week. Baden-Powell entered the British Army by accident. He heard of an Army examination as he was about to enter Oxford and “for fun” took

. it. He was second on a list of 700.

A young subaltern or junior lieutenant, he went to India. There he tracked a superior officer's horse which had ‘been frightened into

the mountains, and was put on

scout work. Baden-Powell then went to South Africa, which was to make him famous. There he saw service in many campaigns. Again he found himself doing scout work against the fierce Matebele tribesmen. He founded the Boy Scouts in 1908, a year after he. first gathered a group of youngsters about him on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbor in England and began teaching them woodlore. He founded the Girl Guides two years later. Lord Baden-Powell married Olave Soames, daughter of Harold. Soames. They have a son and two daughters. The son, Arthur Robert Peter Baden-Powell, becomes second baron.

facilities so that Great Britain can defeat Germany.

Not since Woodrow Wilson made Bernard E. Baruch chief of the War Industries Board during the World War has the United States moved so close to rigorous Federal regulation of national economic life. For the first time during the present emergency—which Mr. Roosevelt has warned is “as serious as war itself”—the national rearmament effort will be delegated to a small organization. The extent the OPM is prepared t® go with the broad powers delegated to it by the President was - in this part of a statement issued by its four members: “We shall have need of the active, aggressive and enthusiastic cooperation of every man, womah and child in the United States if we are to make this arsenal in America adequate to successful deiense of democracy and freedom. This can only mean that in the immediate future everything in our national life must ‘be subordinated to the necessity for defense.” To management, the OPM said: “Industry must subordinate its concern’ over the possible effects of tremendous immediate = expansion . unexpressed hope for war-time profits must be sternly repressed.” To labor, it said: “. . . . Intelligent and patriotic co-operation of the men who man the machines is vital . . . labor must avoid any attempt to make improper use of its position in the present world-wide emergency. The whole principle of collective bargaining -and the rights of labor . . . being challenged.” To both management and labor, it said: “If the totalitarian forces of the world are victorious . .. both capital and .labor will become the involuntary vassals of an all-power-ful state.” 8

Immigrant Boys Make (ood

For all practical purposes respon*sibility for . converting America’s economy from ‘a peace-time to a war-time emergency basis has been delegated to a single head, and the name of that single head, Mr. Roosevelt told his press conference yesterday, is “Knudsen-Hillman.” That was his answer to questions seeking to learn why he had not vested ultimate executive power in one person.. Thus two former immigrant boys become Mr. Roosevelt's “single head” for the program designed to speed this country’s own defense program and to supply Great Britain and other democracies resisting ‘invasion more planes, more ships, more tanks and ‘more guns. Mr. Knudsen, former production genius of the General Motors Corp., came to America from Denmark at 20 to work in New York shipyards. Since last June he has been chairman of the National Defense Advisory Commission which OPM supersedes but does not entirely ‘replace. Mr. Hillman also emigrated to the United States at 20. Me came from Lithuania and since then hgs been ‘an active labor leader in the clothing industry. He was vice president of the C. I.'O. and presiDy of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. ‘ Paradoxically, both Mr. Knudsen’s and Mr. Hillman’s native countries are victims of the war in Europe. Denmark is how under the “protection” of Germany and Lithuania was taken over by Russia after its war with Finland. “ Mr. Knudsen becomes director general of the OPM; Mr. Hillman associate director general. Mr. Stimson and Mr. Knox will participate in the OPM’s work of policy making and surveys.

EX-CLASSMATE. GIVES BLOOD TO “ALLERDICE SR

Transfusion: Made Possible By Herman W. Kothe; Mother, Son Buried.

A former schoolmate at the University of Michigan last night gave a blood transfusion to David Allerdice Sr. And today at Methodist Hospital physicians ‘said Mr. Aller-

dice now has a “fighting chance to pull through.” Mr. Allerdice was critically burned early Sunday morning when a fire swept his apartment home at 3617 Washington Blvd. and took the lives of his wife, Cornelia, and son, Anthony, 8. The blood donor last night was Herman W. Kothe, attorney, living at 4130 N. Illinois St. Mr. Kothe also brought his 18-year-old son, Herman Jr., to the hospital and the two of them gave two and onehalf pints of blood in what doctors term a “mammoth transfusion,”

Fellow Graduates

‘Mr. Allerdice and Mr. Kothe went to different high schools in Indianapolis but they became well acquainted at Michigan, both graduating in the class of 1910. They frequently returned to- the campus together to attend class reunions and football games. Mr. Allerdice was an all-America there, famous for his punting and placekicking. When Mr. Allerdice was taken to the hospital Sunday, he was given two “ordinary” transfusions Ro Kenneth and Gilbert Ogle, brothers and brokers. , Physicians . said . Mr. Allérdice received sburns over about one-third of his body, a condition often fatal. His son, David .Jr., who also was burned trying to rescue his‘family, is in the hospital, too, but he is out of danger now, doctors said.

Mother, Son Buried

This morning Mrs. Allerdice and Anthony were buried in Crown Hill Cemetery after a double funeral service at the St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church. They were trapped in the back room of the apartment and died shortly after being removed by firemen. Meantime, police, firemen and the coroner’s office continued an investigation into the causes of the fire. Bernard Lynch, chief of the Fire Prevention Bureau, is making a special investigation into the fire, two City detectives have been assigned to the case and a neighbor of the Allerdice family has testified at a coroner’s hearing. Chief Lynch said it would be three or four days before his complete report would be ready. He said his investigation thus far has tended to discount earlier theories that the fire started from a wax candle or Christmas tree in the sun parlor. Immediately hack of the sun

place and Chief Lyhch thinks, the blaze may have been caused either from the fireplace or from defective electrical wiring.

Neighbor Testifies

City Detective Lawrence MecLaughlin said that during his investigation no one could remember having seen a screen in front of the fireplace but that a pile of cord wood nearby was not burned up. J. J. Rosenstein, who lives in the first floor apartment, testified yesterday at a coroner’s hearing but could give few details of the incident. He said he was awakened by people running about upstairs. Then, Mr. Rosenstin testified, he heard someone shout “fire,” and that he then got up, dressed and went outside.

HINT MORE DEFENSE WORK FOR INDIANA

Governor Townsend and his secretary, Tristram Coffin, returned from Washington today -with hints of further defense program expansion in the state. Announcement, they said; will be made in Washington soon of further developments at the Charlestown powder plant and of a huge expansion program to be initiated at an Indiana plant already .working on defense equipment.
