TRAFFIC GROUP T0 STAY ON JO

Pivisory Committee Wants To Continue Even After Work Is Done. ~

‘When Mayor Sullivan named an advisory committee to study traffic last month, it was generally conceded by the backstairs gentry that the group’s only function would be . to look over the situation, make a few recommendations and retire. * This has been more or less the _ history of some of the other advisory committees the Mayor has . appointed in the past. They came, they recommended and they went But this time history is not likely to repeat itself if-most of the committee members have their way. They plan to stick. This determination was expressed in a letter which Committee Chairman Wallace O. Lee sens around the other day. . “When our job is over and we

have made our report, ave do not];

~ wish to continue as an inactive committee which might become a handicap rather than a help to the cause in which we are all so deeply interested,” Mr. Lee said. The immediate job in hand is a

WILLKIE POINTS WAY TO NEW AID

Capitol Observers Believe He Put Out ‘Feelers’ For Administration. By THOMAS L. STOKES

Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—In his Senate testimony Wendell L. Willkie indicated what are understood to be the war materials which the Administration plans to send to England when the lend-lease bill is enacted. That is, unless public reaction deters the Administration from the transfer of such large quantities of our own defense weapons, or. Congress expressly forbids it in the pending bill. From all the circumstances surrounding - Mr. Willkie’s dramatic appearance, and from other evi dence, it is deduced that his proposals as to what should be transferred, though presented as a personal recommendation, suggested the Administration program as préently contemplated, and that the 1940 Republican nominee was putting out “feelers” on behalf of the Administration. This program is understood to be: 1. Transfer of “obsolete” destroyers of World War vintage, of which there are reported to be 40 available of the same type as the 50 that were swapped months ago for bases. 2. Dispatch of more Army bombers and of virtually the complete output of war planes by American factories as they come off the line, except training planes. (Ninety per cent of production now is going to Great Britain, according to some figures, though other estimates put it as high as 95 per cent.) 8. Additional merchant vessels, transfer of which would be greatly expedited by removing present “auction” requirements of the Maritime Commission, so that England could get all available tonnage. President Roosevelt could remove these restrictions under the broad powers carried in the bill.

DAWSON SAYS GOP PLAN IS WORKABLE

TURKEY RUN STATE PARK, Ind, Feb. 12 (U, P.).—Lieutenant Governor Charles M. Dawson’ declared last night that the Republican program to decentralize state government is a “clean, workable plan of operation” which wiil “upset a dictatorship ini Indiana.” He spoke at a Lincoln Day dinner of Parke County Republicans. More than 600 persons, headed by Byron K. Jones of Lebanon, 6th District G. O. P. chairman, attended. Mr. Dawson said there is not “the slightest doubt” about the constitutionality of the Republican program. Its success in eliminating politics - from operation of state penal, correctional and benevolent institutions, Mr. Dawson said, would depend “almost wholly on good appointments.”

HOOSIERS DENY [f

WILLKIE PLEA

They Still Oppose Aid Bill; Made ‘Creditable’ Stand, ‘Says VanNuys. By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Feb, 12.—Abraham Lincoln and not Wendell L. Willkie is the hero of the Hoosier Republicans here today. The fervent pleas of the Indianaborn 1940 G.P.P. Presidential candidate to support the lend-lease bill in the ‘interest of national unity moved not a man from Indiana to change his mind regarding his vote in Congress. ; Senator Raymond E. Willis (R. Ind.) will vote against the measure in the Senate as did all eight Hoosier. Republicans in the House. Tonight, most of the latter are scheduled to make Lincoln Day addresses at G. O. P. gatherings, and they

will proclaim and defend their

stand. For it is the Democrats who are cheering Mr. Willkie most loudly here today.

Lauded by VanNuys

After. his dramatic appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday afternoon, Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.) wrung his hand and congratulated him. “Mr. Willkie made a very creditable appearance and argument on this very vital bill,” Senator VanNuys said. The senior Senator from Indiana is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee. Senator Willis did not hear Mr. Willkie’s plea. Hq explained that he had just returned from attending the Republican Editorial Association meeting in Indianapolis and pointed out that they had adopted 8 Tesolution against the lend-lease bill. Willis View Unchanged

“The Republican Party in Indiana is opposed to the measure,” Senator Willis said. “Contrary to Mr. Willkie’s view, they believe that it is more likely to take us into the war than to keep us out. “My own feeling in the matter has not changed. I am ainst giving any President such a complete grant of power. Nor do I want to weaken our own defenses in extending aid to England. “In my opinion, it would be better to lend Great Britain whatever money they may need and let them conduct their own war in their own way. ” Although Mr. Willkie is scheduled for a Lincoln Day address in New York City tonight, both Thomas E. Dewey and Senator Robert A. Taft (R. 0.), his Philadelphia convention opponents, were given billing ahead of him in the publicity handout from the Republican National Committee. = Leaders Peeved

Party leaders appear plenty peeved af his conduct. He did talk to Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind.) by telephone from New York before coming here, but did not confer with either Senator Charles L. McNary (R. Ore.), his Vice Presidential running mate, or Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. (R. Mass.), national chairman and Willkie campaign manager, before testifyng.
