By DANIEL

Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan, 11.—Rep. Raymond Springer (R. Ind.), one of 5 the most outspoken of Congressmen in warning of the danger of involve-| : ment in the war, put one of the hottest pro-war speeches in the Con-

flessions) Record this week.

The speech had been made over the radio ky John Napier Dyer,

incennes, a former Democrat State Senator.

er the title of “Prepdredness.” the speech Mr. Dyer made the point that with the Italians on the and German aid necessary to save them, now is the time to see that England gets everything necessary to deliver a knockout to Hitler, He advocated that the entire United States go on a war time production basis. : “In the press ent turbulen L iMr. Springer condition of the world we must be prepared first to . defend ourselves and to co-ordinate

aid to our ally who is our first line +. of defense,” Mr. Dyer said.

| fWe cannat afford to shut our eyes. to the dangers that beset us. ' “We are not in war, but we have reached the point at which all of our energy and every bit of our ort must be directed to the meeting of the threat of war, and to jbordinate everything else to our paredness program. “We may live in a leaky house a time in order to put a tight Ah aoht on the barn.” | Since Mr. Dyer is a large-scale farmer, such rural similes come readily to him. | Because these views are diametrically opposed to his own, Rep. Springer explained that Mr. Dyer is “an old friend” and had merely sent ; m the speech requesting that it “i a in: the Record. - ia ) incennes is in Rep. Gerald W. dis’ (R. Ind.) district. But Mr.

u. S. Planes Down Junkers,

British Communique Claims

LONDON, Jan. 11 (U. P.).—British naval pilots flying American Gruman single-seater fighters have shot down a Junkers-88 plane, the Ar Ministry said. It was the first time British pilots irl an American plane had downed a German plane. All four occupants of the German plane were made prisoners. The Junkers-88 planes are among the most heavily armed in the German planes. {In its communique, the first which had mentioned the Grumans in

aigtion, the Air Ministry said that

three of them were patrolling when bad weather caused their recall to base.

“The leader had actually landed when he sighted a JU-88,” the Air Ministry said. “He promptly took off again and rejoined his two companions just as one opened fire on the raider. Smoke immediately enveloped the Junkers and it eventually crashed in a bog. “A retired naval captain and his Home Guard son who farm nearby

| reached the wreckage as one of the

crew attempted to set fire to the machine. The captain covered him

with a shotgun while the son disarmed the four men and made them prisoners.” .

NEEDY CHILDREN AIDED BY LEGION

Nearly Five Million Paid to Dependents of Veterans, Samuel Reports.

The American Legion in the past year has expended nearly five million dollars in direct financial aid to needy children, Frank E. Samuel, national adjutant of the Legion,

told the Child Welfare Committee Conference, last night. Mr. Samuel said that the money was from the Legion’s own resources and Government grants. “Most of these benefits went to dependents .of World War Veterans,” he said.

Guarg~“Future Citizens” He also told conference members

that the Legion’s belief in all practicable aid to Great Britain was

.|for the benefit of the children of

America who are to be our "future citizens. An earlier speaker, Mrs. P. I. Dixon of Americus, Ga., said that the child welfare program is closely bound to Americanism. She asked: Where did Americanism originate except in the home? A story of how community action aided in fighting a disastrous infantile paralysis epidemic last summer was given the committee by its South Dakota representative yesterda, T Harry Shanard, chairman of the South Dakota committee, told the Legion group that during the epidemic there were only two respirators available in the state. Members of the American Legion organized, he said; to move these respirators as needed, but many persons probably died because there were not enough of them.

Hunted Rabbits

The Legion then organized jackrabbit hunts all over the state. Each Sunday, after church’ services, the men would take their shotguns and systematically hunt one section at a time, often killing as many as 500 to 600 jackrabbits. These were sold for an average of a little more than 20 cents each and the money was placed in a respirator purchase pool. Seven new respirators were bought at $2700 each and are ready for use. The U. S. Forestry Service aided in the hunts. It furnished one shell for each rabbit and the trucks for transporting them to market.
