Tokyo's Aid to Axis Hinges on 2 Big 'Ifs’

Japan Wants to Be Sure British Fleet Is Bottled Up and That Russia Is Tractable.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, March 15—Japan’s all-out aid to Germany, according to Tokyo sources, depends largely on two things—a hands-off guarantee from the Soviet Union, and proof of Germany's ability to bottle otherwise dispose of the bulk of the British fleet. Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka, it is said, will make is known to Hitler upon his arrival in Berlin a week or 10 days hence. now en route to Moscow and: the German capital.

Hoosiers in Washington

the World BACK AID FUND

Willis, Who Opposed Bill, Is Ready to Help F. B. R. Make It Work.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, March 15.—Although the Hoosiers in Congress | hung up the greatest isolationist record of any state so far as the Lease-Lend Bill roll calls are concerned, they nearly all are ready today to support the seven billion appropriation for all-out aid to Britain. As the record stands, it shows no vote for the bill from Indiana in the Senate, and eight out of but 71 votes against the Senate amendments in the House were from Indiana. They were adopted by 317 votes. Indiana was the only state in which not a single Republican supported the changes in the measure {made by the Senate. All of the G. O. P. Hoosiers took the stand that this might look like they fafored the bill and that they wanted “to be consistent” as they had voted against it when it was originally passed by the House. That stand also was taken by Rep. |Louis Ludlow, Democrat author of the war referendum amendment. Senator Raymond E. Willis (R. Ind.) voted against the bill's passage in the Senate and Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.) was home with a cold when the roll was called. It was announced that he would have voted for passage if he had been on hand. : Today, however, Senator Willis made it clear that he is not going

British Aid Bill Really H.R. 1775

WASHINGTON, March 15 (U. P) —William J. McDermott Jr. chief bill clerk of the House, said today he gave the British-aid bill the historic number H. R. 1776 in the interest of easy reference. Chance played a large part, however, since the bill numbers were in the 1770s when a baich including the lend-lease measure reached the bill room. Mr. McDermott said that if he had numbered them in the order received, lend-lease would have received 1775, The hill room, however, makes a practice, if current numbers permit, of giving easily remembered numbers to bills which will be in demand for reference. There is no requirement, in House rules that they be numbered in the order they are introduced

ISOLATIONISTS *

WITH THE FILING of the first court test two weeks (or less) away, the Democrats are putting final touches on their legal briefs for the court battle over control of the State House. Governor Schricker called in all his department heads yesterday for their first general conference since their appointment in midJanuary. State Chairman Fred Bays and Frank C. Dailey, former U. S. District Attorney, also at- | — tended the two-hour session. The Governor and others gave the department heads a “pep talk” and outlined the party's plans in general. Mr. Dailey, it is reported, will head the legal! staff to test the constitutionality of the G. O. P.controlled Legislature's reorganization of State government. His aids will include Attorney General George Beamer; George Stevens, the Governor's personal legal adviser; Deputy Attorney General James K. Northam and Walter Arnold, South Bend attorney and former State Senator.

Office Abolished

MR. BEAMER'S right to retain his office likely will be the basis of a court fight. On April 1, the Attorney General's office is abolished by a new Republican law, and a state attorney is to be appointed by a G. O. P.-dominated board to serve until a new Attorney General is elected in 1942. Unless something happens before that time, the fight will start when the Republican appointee tries to move it. Some Democrats say the first move will come earlier—but they haven't indicated what that action will be.

11-Man Super-Board to Be Formed; 33 Strikes in Defense Plants.

By UNITED PRESS Thirty-three strikes were in prog= ress today against national defense industries and projects as President Roosevelt went to work on forma=tion of a super-mediation board to prevent such disputes choking the flow of armaments. The President was expected to complete selection of an 1ll-man board by the middle of next week, Among the prominent citizens mene tioned as possible chairman of the new agency were Rernard Baruch, head of the World War Industries Board; Wendell L.

For the Republicans. the legal staff probably will be directed by Arthur Gilliom, former Attorney General, and Fred Gause, former Supreme Court judge, who wrote most, of the G. O.

Judge James Emmert of Shelbyville, unsuccessful candidate for the Governor nomination last year, and Rep. George Henly of Bloomington are mentioned most frequently for this appointment.

Plums Delayed

The passing out of the patronage plums is being delayed until the Republican officials resting up from their legislative toils return from Miami, Fla.

Among those who didnt go were Secretary of State James Tucker, State Treasurer James Givens, State Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt and Marion County Chairman James Bradford.
