against them for destroyers, Mr. Robinson testified. The necessary additional armament would be too heavy for destroyers, he said. Rapid fire 1.1 inch guns can disperse dive bombers, he
said, and added that U. S. antiaircraft protection measures included topside shields to protect crews from bomb splinters.
Six-Day Week Debated
While Mr:: Robinson pleaded for more speed in the building of ships, a high official of the Navy Department said that the establishment of a six-day week in Navy yards to hurry construction of a two-ocean fleet was being considered. He said instructions had been sent to commandants of all ship yards to take immediate steps to impress workers with the need for speed and that they might lay the groundwork for abandonment of the ‘present five-day, 40-hour week. Navy officials said the Government couldn’t very well ask workers in private industry to redouble their efforts and be willing to work longer hours unless its own employees were willing to do likewise. Navy yard workers have been informed that they “are really part of the Navy.” Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox wrote the Committee that the anti-aircraft defense program was * urgently needed because naval de-| velopments' in Europe clearly dem-|1] onstrated the need for strengthening the armament and armor of warships. Meanwhile, Edward F. McGrady, former Assistant Secretary of Labor who was known as the “ace trouble shooter” for that Department, has been asked to act as Mr. Knox’s special adviser .on labor problems. He already is serving in a similar capacity for Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson.

City. Assigns Investigator After Surprise Subpenas From Blue’s Office. (Continued from Page One) issued immediately. ‘Capt. Pope
was expected to. -appear in court today.
Mr. Blue said he: intends .to continue calling witnesses into Criminal Court until he finds out who owns ‘the punchboards, who is operating them and the identity of the people “behind them.” He also said he would like to know why police have instructions not to arrest persons found with certain types of gambling equipment - in their possession. He opened the hearing yesterday tby introducing into evidence three punchboards which Sergt. Burkett said were those confiscated in two raids Saturday afternoon at 145 N. Delaware St. and 110 N. Pennsylvania St.
Claims Orders - Given
Under questioning, the Sergeant said he found the boards at 145 N. Delaware St. on the cigar counter and that he wrote the proprietors name down in his book, but did not
sent. He said he did not have the book with him in court. ~ Asked if he had seen any law violations, he replied he had seen nothing more than the punchboards. “You're a police officer. You know that it is a violation of the law to display boards like these and advertise a lottery?” Prosecutor Blue asked. “Yes, sir,” he replied. He then admitted that he was under orders from Capt. Pope not to make arrests in punchboard seizures. These ‘ orders, Sergt Bilikett said, were issued at roll call. During the hearing, the Sergeant was. excused to’ go home and get his notebook. Upon his return, he identified the proprietor of the lace where the punchboard was seized as “Donald Corriden.” Patrolman Charles O'Donnell, alse subpeaned, testified he accompanied Sergt. Burkett on the raids. He said he had not received orders against making arrests in such cases, adding that “if it had been me, I would have made an arrest.”

STANDARD SUPPLIES URGED TO AID BRITAIN
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 (U. P). —National defense officials are advocating today that the United States supply Great Britain only standard U. S. Army and Navy equipment under the arms lending program. They are opposed to contracting for the manufacture of large quantities of munitions here that could not eventually be used by our own defense forces. They also fear that creation of two separate chains of manufacturing facilities — one for United States defense needs and one for non-standard items needed by the British—would create a supply bottleneck in event of an emergency in this hemisphere. Basis for the officials’ concern was a report in military quarters that Great Britain may urge American manufacture of war materials that would be designed for their own specifications. For example, British fleet requirements are not the same as those of this country’s Navy. < Military officials here favor standardization of tanks, planes, guns, powder and machine tools on the basis of our own needs for national and Western Hemisphere defense.

“I want Mr. Dawson to have all the powers I had when I was Lieutenant Governor,” he said. Democratic leaders said the order was not intended as a friendly gesture of compromise toward the G. O. P. but that the Governor merely was following the intent of present laws. Diseussing plans of the G. O. P. to repeal the State Soil Conservation Act, which was operated under the Lieutenant Governor’s office, Governor Schricker said “repeal of that law would be a great mistake.”
Will Attend Inauguration “Soil conservation is one of the most imporuent functions of the State Government,” he said. Mr. Schricker said he will go to Washington Saturday to attend the inaugural of President Roosevelt Monday and to attend a Governors’ conference on national defense Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Indiana Commission on Inter-State Co-operation, at a meeting last night, selected Lieu-tenant-Governor Dawson as its chairman, succeeding Frank Finney, Democrat, who resigned. Most of the Commission members, composed of legislators and State officials, now are Republicans.
