“Named White’s Successor; Douglas to Share in Joint Leadership.
. NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (U. P).— The Committee to Defend America by: Aiding the Allies embarked today on a new campaign for “all out” aid to "Britain under the joint leadership of Frnest W. Gibson, former Republican Senator from Vermont, . and Lewis W. Douglas, former Director of the Budget. The committee's executive board last night named Mr. Gibson ha-
‘tional chairman, succeeding William Allen White, Emporia, Kas, “editor, who resigned after some members had criticized his “Yanks Are Not Coming” statement in which he opposed sending American convoys into the war zone. Mr. Douglas, president of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, was named chairman of a national policy board, which will hold regular monthly megtings and will have “sovereign” rights in forming policies. Mr. White was elected honorary chairman of the national cominitfee and he remains a member of the executive committee, which last night reaffirmed its policy statement of last November 2¢ favoring ‘all possible aid to Britain and the ‘ yepeal of all -laws restricting this aid. The committee also approved President Roosevelt's recent fireside chat on defense and his message to Congress on the state of the nation. Mr. White said the election of Mr. Gibson “is a very fine selection and one which has my hearty Suppers. y
Citizenship for ‘German Fought
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10 (U. P.). —The American citizenship ap~ plication of Hands Diebel, Ger-man-born proprietor of the Ayran Book Store, was opposed in Federal Court yesterday on grounds . he allegedly is being groomed to become western chief of the Ger-man-American Bund. Neil H. Ness, a Dies Committee witness; John Schmidt, a former Army captain, and others brought witnesses and evidence to court to support their charges that Mr. Diebel seeks the Bund post vecated. by Hermann Max Schwinn. Photographs were introduced at the hearing before Judge C. Ii. Beaumont showing Mr. | Diebel, Mr. Schwinn and others @t Bund meetings in the Deutscheshaus here. Mr. Diebel said he acted as usher. £ RE He was dropped from the Bund in 1936, he said, because he was not an American citizen and he

America Will Do Whatever Necessary to Win. By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor. - WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Prime
Minister Churchill's Pilgrims’ din-
ner speech in London yesterday is rggarded here as highly significant. Whatever President Roosevelt may or may not have meant by his promise of all-out aid to Britain in his
{Fireside Chat and his message . to -|Congress, the conviction in’ diplo{matic quarters has now crystallized
into this: Whatever it takes to insure vic-
“|tory for Britain and her allies in the
war against the Axis powers, the United States now stands pledged to give—even if it eventually means armed intervention. I have heard this, not from .one but from several -widely different sources. ‘The United States has committed itself far too explicitly to back out now. Britain and her associates, of course, will put everything they have into the fight. But if that’does not suffice, the
turn out to be, Such is the current conception here,
Halifax Mission Stressed
That, it is believed, is why Mr. Churchill yesterday laid so much
emphasis on Lord Halifax's forth-
coming mission as ambassador to the United States, The Prime Minister paralleled the recent utterances of President Roosevelt to link the destinies of the peoples of the glish-speaking world and pin his hope of victory on the United States. .Alone, he said, Britain might fight her way through to some kind of a truce, But only a truce. Without the co-operation of the United States and the Empire; the conflict would inevitably be renewed “on worse terms” later on. “But the chance of Setting the march of mankind clearly and surely alqng -the ‘high roads, of human
never return.” Dovetails with F. D. R. View -
This ‘dovetails with. President Roosevelt's own declaration that America’s future is “overwhelmingly
national defense, therefore, must be “all-inclusive,” and that- this coung try will never submit to “the new order of tyranny.” Thus, it is pointed out, what might be called the war aims of Britain and the peace aims of the
Prime Minister and the President within 72 hours of each other—are fundamentally identical. Mr. Churchill called for continuing Anglo-American co-operation to forestall a truce before.the dictators are destroyed, while Mr, Roosevelt pledged the all-out aid of this country until the final victory for democracy is achieved, The combined effect of these pronouncements is widely’ regarded here as the equivalent of an alliance, the% parties to: which have pledged themselves not to make a

MUCK POCKETS IN ROAD 31 REMOVED
For years muck: pockets have been causing trouble ‘on heavily-traveled Road 31, about five miles west of Tipton and just north of the Road 28 junction. Small. sections of the road would “drop down” causing the pavement to -break. Highway repair crews would fix the break but it wouldn't be long until the same thing would happen again. Three months ago the State Highway Department decided to fix the road so that it would “last for a life-time.” They drove long strips of wood and ‘steel into the muck, capped them and then paved over them. Between 8600 and 700 feet of the road was “fixed” in this manner. Yesterday, the road which had been closed * for the work, was opened again for traffic and Highway Commission officials predicted that there will be no more trouble from muck pockets. With the lifting of the Road 31 detour, only 12 were left in effect on the state highway system, They are:
