House Begins Second Day Of Debate, With Further Revision Indicated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (U. P.).— Dr. Charles A. Beard, historian, charged today that the all-out British aid bill,” efficiently carried into execution, will involve us officially in the conflicts of Europe and Asia, and place in jeopardy. everything we cherish in the United States.” He testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as the House began the second day of general debate on the Administration measure! Debate was opened by Rep. James P. Richards (D. S. C.), who renounced what he described as his former “isolationist” stand on foreign policy. He told the House that it should pass the British aid bill no matter how much the Axis powers may dislike it. He said Congress would be “craven and cowardly” to defeat the bill because of a fear that it would make the dictators “mad.” Rep. Hamilton Fish (R. N. Y), leader of House opponents of the bill, predicted the chamber would “set a ceiling” on expenditures for British aid and “retain the war making powers in the Congress, where they belong.”

Expects Amendments “I believe the temper of the House is such that thesé amendments will be adopted,” said Mr. Fish. He said Speaker Sam Rayburn’s prediction that the bill would pass by 125- votes “must have been predicted on the fact that the maJority expected vital amendments to the bill.” “He said that if the amendments he proposed are not accepted “I doubt very much whether the bill will have more than 50 votes majority.” House supporters of the bill meantime were considering making a concession to the opposition. Some of them talked about an amendment to limit, in point of time, the contracts which the bill would authorize the President to make between now and June 30, 1943, for war materials to aid the democracies. A 5 or 10-year limit on the life of such contracts was suggested. > Mr. Beard said that the bill “would subject all the labor energies and all the wealth of the United States to. the President’s personal orders issued at his discretion.” Doubts U. S. Can Remake World “It is a bill for waging ‘an undeclared war,” he said. He disputed the ability of the United States to carry into execution President Roosevelt's four aims for world peace—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want and freedom from fear. “Can the American people, great and ingenious though they are, transfer their traditions, institutions, system, emotion and habits by employing their treasury, arms, prop--aganda and diplomatic lectures?” Mr. Eeard asked. “Can they by any means at their command make over Europe and Asia, provide democracy, a bill of rights and economic security for (Continued on Page Two)

- Name, Please? Hedy Lamarr

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 4 (U. P.). —Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler Mandl Markey today asked Superior . Court to make her name plain Hedy Lamarr. ‘Miss Lamarr filed a petition asking that she be permitted 'to use her stage name, “under which “she has acquired some prominence professionally as a motion picture actress,” as her legal name. The petition said the actress was born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in Vienna, Nov. 9, 1914, and acquired the name “Mandl” when she married Fritz Mandl, European munitions magnate. Following her divorce from Mandl, she married Producer Gene Markey, whence the most recent addition, :

HITLER FRIEND BACKS SON, NOW IN ARMY

BOSTON, Feb. 4 (U.P.).—Egon L. Hanfstaengl, 20, who once knew Adolf Hitler well enough to call him “Uncle Adolf,” carried with “him a message of congratulation from his father, Ernst (Putzi) Hanfstaengl, one-time Nazi press chief and close friend of Hitler, as he - sped southward to enter an Army unit in Alabama. He hopes to become an air cadet ~ to help “combat Hitler barbarism.” Hanfstaengl gave up his study of literature and philosophy at Harvard to join the Army because “this is an age not of scholars, books and professors, but an age of violence and soldiers.”

Blast Occurs at Crossing in Downtown Denver.

DENVER, Colo., Feb. 4 (U. P.).— A railroad locomotive boiler exploded in downtown Denver today, causing minor injuries to 27 persons. The big boiler was blown to bits and the pieces scattered over an area of hundreds of feet.

INDIANA'S WPA ROLLS NOW AT LOWEST POINT

_|Even Jennings Can’t Answer

Question: Where Do We Go From Here?’

By RICHARD LEWIS

On a wall chart in the office of State: WPA Administrator John K.

i | Jennings, a thin: black line moves

across the years in "jagged peaks and valleys as it traces the story of Nea employment in Indiang since 35. Crossing the meridian into 1941, the line descends into the deepest valley it has yet traced and stops. Ahead, are the empty, white spaces of 1941 and 1942 and a mute question: “Where does the WPA go from here?” State Administrator Jennings said he couldn’t answer because he doesn’t know. But at the end of the black line, the WPA has reached its latest phase of development and lowest winter relief load, he said.

It’s Now a Shell

From a jam-packed work-relief agency, the Indiana WPA has become a shell. Gone with the defense boom are the myriad skilled workers who once were on the rolls. A large proportion of those who are left, Mr. Jennings said, are permanent unemployables who can find no place. in streamlined industrial operations because of age, infirmities or both. “And yet these people are useful citizens,” the Administrator said. “They have a right to have the opportunity to earn a living.” Mr. Jennings compared the present, boom with the industrial snd commercial peak years of the ’20s. It’s Up to ‘Congress “This peak period has demonstrated that no matter how busy you get, you still have a number of people on which industry cannot make a profit,” he said. “This defense program shows conclusively that these people cannot be absorbed by industry—even in ‘boom times. “What you have, then, is the core of the unemployed on the WPA, which now is at its lowest winter relief load in history. “What is to happen to the WPA is a problem that Congress alone will decide. We are still an emergency organization. “Speaking as one who administered relief before the election of the President and continuously since, IT am now firmly convinced that this program has been here (Continued on Page Two)

‘BLUFF,” SAYS C. L OF A. F. L. CLAIMS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (U, P.).— The answer to A. F. of L. claims of a majority of the workers in two Ford Motor Co. plants today was “ridiculous bluff.” C. I. O. President Philip Murray arged in a statement last night that A. F. of L. President William Green's claim was “an apparent attempt to co-operate with Ford in distracting attention fromthe unfavorable publicity resulting from Ford’s refusal to co-operate with the defense program.” Mr. Green said Sunday that two newly chartered A.

Six Republicans Vote With Minority on

Bureau Setup.

The first defection in the solid G. O. P. Holse front showed up today when six Republicans voted

with the minority against a “decentralization” bill to revise the Legislative Reference Bureau setup. Their action almost defeated the measure, with Speaker James M. Knapp casting the deciding vote to give it a constitutional majority, 51 to 41. The bill would place - the Bureau under the Secretary of State, re-

moving ‘it from the Legislature which now controls it.

Batman Cites ’39 Action

When the bill came up for final passage, Rep. Howard Batman (D. Terre Haute) said the Bureau was created two years ago by unanimous consent of both houses on a bill introduced by Rep. H. H. Evans (R. New Castle), majority floor leader at that time. “Two years later, .you want to throw out what you passed before,” Rep. Batman said. “This shows the inconsistency that has prevailed in all your actions. If any department of the Stdte ought to remain unhampered, it is this one.” Rep. Evans added his protest that

“At the beginning of this session, when I found out there was a plan to put the Bureau under the Secretary of State, I suggested that this Bureau should be a separate branch of government,” he said. “Nothing can be Jaccomplished by this bill.” . Then, turning to his Republican colleagues, he said: “This is a matter for every one to use his own judgment. Republicans voting against the bill were Reps. Alva Baxter and Oscar Jose Jr., both of Indianapolis; Walter F. Danielson, Michigan City; Clifford Funderburg, Huntington; Lee J. Reynolds, Bagersiony; and Mr. Evans.

MNELIS PROMISED COURT RENOVATION

But Commissioners Balk at Insect Extermination.

County Commissioners agreed today to repair Municipal Courtroom 3, but stopped short of promising the rehabilitation program asked by Judge John L. McNelis, which included an insect extermination campaign. The” Commissioners, after agreeing with the Safety Board on the repairs, leaned back to relax and then were startled by new demands from Judge McNelis. These they took under advisement. Emphasizing his “deep desire” for rat and insect extermination in the courtroom, the judge also asked for new rugs, new furniture, a new and higher bench, sound-proofing, new Nook shelves, and a brand new paint ol Commissioners had decided to only replaster the ceiling, repair the floor, and make alterations at the rear of the room to add seats. The judge said that insects had become so numerous that for the past year he had refrained from hanging up his coat and hat near the wall and instead puts them over a table. Police Chief Michael F.

ATTY. GEN. AND POLICE BILLS UP:

Committee to Act Today; Democrats Challenge Tax Board Revision.

BULLETIN

The House today passed the Senate-approved “Ripper Bill” to revise the State Tax Board and sent it to the Governor. It was the second measure of the G. O. P. program to receive final passage following on ' the heels of the 1933 Reorganization Act repealer approved yesterday. Govs ernor Schricker is expected to veto the State Tax Board measure.

The House Judiciary Committee this afternoon was to move two of

the most controversial “ripper” bills —the State Police and Attorney General measures—down the final steps toward passage. Meanwhile, the Democratic minority prepared to challenge - formally the constitutionality of each of the G. O. P. “decentralization” measures yet to be considered by the House. Rep. George Henley (R. Bloomington), committee chairman, said his group would try to “clean up” all the reorganization business still pending at a meeting this afternoon. The first Democratic protest was filed with the House journal toda; against the bill to shake up the State Tax Board. It charged that “an apparent, determined resolve to overthrow the Constitution itself must lie at the very Toots and origin of this bill.” The Senate-approved bill to place the defunct Two Per .Cent Club under the corrupt practices act was sent back to committee for “rewriting.” A bi-partisan attack on the measure in its present form was made in the House yesterday by Rep. Howard Batman (D.. Terre Haute) and Rep. H. H. Evans (R. New Castle). Rep. Evans said the bill would be combined with two other measures covering the Corrupt Practices Act now pending in the House. One would limit campaign expenditures and the other would cover cam-paign-fund raising organizations.
