founder and fuehrer of the reportedly dissolved Silver Shirts of America and reputed financial angel of the Fellowship Press, was served ky a deputy U.'S. Marshal with a subpena to appear in Federal Court at Washington. : The subpena, it was reported, was to compel Pelley to testify in the hearing Jan. 21 of David P. Mayne, former Pelley agent accused of forging letters purporting to establish a secret agreement between Pelley ald Rep. Martin Dies. Pelley was served with the subpena while in the offices of the F¢llowship Press. | The magazine, Losey announced earlier will print “the news behind the news in Washington” for busi-

nessmen. “The object- of our publication,”

he explained yesterday, “is to keep

America Christian and to keep American boys out of a foreign war. I am in favor of arming the United States to the hilt and if any nation attempts to invade this country I will be the first to go to this country’s defense with a club.” Losey called attention to the big American flag floating in front of the plant, and then to a large plaque on the wall reading: ‘The U. S. First, Last and All the Time.” “You can quote that, if you want to,” Losey said. “If that’s un-Amer-ican, we all are. “This magazine will publish: reports of what is really occurring in Washington, D. C. It is not being used by any organization such as the Silver Shirts and the Klar, as some people have said. “What if that bill would be made

a law which would provide for ‘working people receiving part of

their pay in government bonds? “There would be no sale for them and it is hard enough for the averpge citizen to make their wages reach now. England is broke. If Fngland wins the war, how can they pay. If Germany wins, they could nat bring an army over here for they can’t get an army scross 22 miles of water to reach England.”

Air Warfare

The scope of the British attack on west Germany and the heavy industries. of the Ruhr was revealed indirectly by the Nazi Eligh Command, which broke precedent by listing a whole series of cities attacked by British! bombers. They were all in the dongested seat of German heavy industry aléng the Rhine. In addition other British squadrons smashed at German oil reservoirs in the Netherlands and at military and naval stations in the Helgoland area. Damage in the Rhine alea was admitted to houses; schocls, a convent and a church | community house. No military claniige was revealed by Berlin, although it was admitted that a- number of “roof fires” were started. The naming of | specific cities raided by the British’ was most unusual. Ordinarily! the German High Command limits itself to the laconic statement that British raids were made in “northern! or “western” Germany without! specifying the locality further. [i

The British action in the western desert was said to have cut off the trickle of supplies which Ethiopia had been getting from Libya by

plane, Ethiopian rebel activity was said to be on the increase, and there were signs that the British might be planning a considerable offensive in the eastern area.

The Greek capture of Klisura was the first sizable Greek success in many days, during which action on the Albanian front has been sharply restricted and increased Italian resistance has been encountered. Klisura dominates the road north to Berat, 30 miles away. For weeks, Klisura had been a no man’s land. To break the stalemate the Greks hauled up siege guns and reinforcements for the line by mule train. They ferried their guns across the Viosa River on crude rafts at night, dragged them to mountains northwest of Klisura and then started a Combined artillery and infantry atck. Tired, half-frozen Italian Alpini prisoners streamed into Premeti.

Ends Double Assembly Lines Discussing the provision for manufacture of foreign articles in gov-

ernment-owned factories, arsenals and shipyards, Mr. Barkley and Mr.

L

This means that we shall be producing the same materials for our friends as for ourselves. It should eliminate double assembly lines in| our factories and should help to standardize our war materials among the democracies. The power to manufacture under this provision does not carry with a waiver of the Eight-Hour Act, the WalshHealey Act, the Wagner: Act and similar domestic legislation.” The bill forbids any foreign country : which . obtains defense articles or defense information from the United States from transferring them to any other country without the consent of the President. Mr. Barkley and Mr. McCormack said the measure also enables the United States to buy war materials in the American republics, Canada or other countries whose defense is vital to us, if such materials are not readily obtainable in this coun-

Hiram Johnson Attentive

About 20 Senators were in the chamber when Mr. Barkley introduced the bill. He told the Senate merely that it “carries out the President’s lend-lease plan which has been discussed: in the press.” The veteran Senate isolationist, Hiram W. Johnson (R. Cal), listened intently, with his hand held over one ear. : Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (R. Mich.), who has played a leading oratorical role in -the, fight of Senate isolationists against President Roosevelt, coughed nervously and asked whether both the House and Senate committees would meet simultaneously. Mr. Barkley replied that “that procedure would be desirable.’

Only Handful in House

Not more than a handful of the membership witnessed the start of the historic measure through the House. : Prior to the introduction of the bill, Mr. Rjosevelt renounced at a press conference any personal ambition for the “blank check” authority which the measure would confer upon him. But he indicated that in the interest of speed it was essential that the power of administration be centered in as few hands as possible. The measure itself was entitled “An Act to Promote the Defense of the United States” and contained a clause that its basic provisions could be carried out “notwithstanding: the provisions of any other aw.”

F. D. R. Insists on Speed

Mr. Roosevelt at his press conference was emphatic in his insistence on speed. A delay of a week in passing the authorization means a week's delay in enacting subsequent appropriations, he said. A week's delay in appropriations means a week’s delay in delivery. ' Briefly, said .the President, a week’s delay right now in Congressional action means that delivery

will be at least a week late. Silent on Cash Estimate He would not make even ga ‘rough estimate of how much actual cash might be involved in the program, and made no reference to speculation that it might involye from $2,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000 at the very outset. As in the case of appropriations for domestic defense, he said, his request for funds for the new program probably will fall into two

authorizations.

diately. 2. Contract for needed for some time—perhaps until the calendar year 1942. Mr. Roosevelt dismissed as a matter for the Senate itself to decide an inquiry whether he felt the need for speed is sufficiently urgent to justify imposition of Senate cloture to abbreviate debate on the controversial legislation.

These aircraft have given Germans their air superiority to present. . In the last 15 months, however, the British have built constantly improved types of planes. They have not had as much old stock on hand as the Germans. : A' larger proportion of ‘British planes today is of the latest type eompared with the total strength of the Royal Air Force, ‘than is prob-' ably true of German air power. Germany still is superior in total planes but the curve of superiority unquestionably shows a decline in the most modern types of air craft. As the war continues, the comparison of ‘total planes between Germany and 3ritain will become. more and more secondary to the proportion of latest models having. greater speed and heavier armament. In these categories it is prob« able that Great Britain with American contributions gradually is moving toward a level with Germany. = The present venture into daylight fields of operations by the British fliers indicates a bolder challenge than was possible last summer and autumn.
