NATIONAL DEFENSE—

EXTENSION OF AMERICAN protection to Greenland spotlighted the national defense effort during the week, The White House, revealing information that German planes had been flying over Greenland, announced an agreement with Denmark giving the U. S. the right to establish air bases on the largest non-continental island in the world. Other defense items: Presi dent Roosevelt's ordered transfer of 10 U. S. Coast Guard cutters to Britain to help fight the submarine menace . the Army put the finishing touches on the world's largest bomber, able to flv across the Atlantic and back, but canceled elaborate preparations for publicizing the tests, The Administration revealed a plan to build 212 merchant ships for Britain and her allies by early 1042 The War Department prepared to speed construction of more than 100 additional munitions plants at a cost of a billion and a half. Senator George (D. Ga.) proposed individual income tax rates be increased 100 per cent and corporation taxes be raised 25 per cent to help finance defense. Diplomatic friction between the United tSates and the Axis grew more intense with rejection of ship-seizure protests, Italy, in reprisal for the U. S. request to recall the Italian naval attache in Washington, demanded the recall of an American assist= ant military attache in Rome. . . John D. Biggers, director of the OPM production, said the U. S. js within 100 davs of real mass production of some of its most vital war materials. 4 4

CONVOYS—

THE QUESTION of U. S. convovs for British aid under the Lease-Lend Bill became a major issue during the week. President Roosevelt, declaring “our own ultimate defense will be rendered futile” unless supplies can be moved from American ports, asked Congress for legislation authorizing him to requisition and pay for any foreign vessel immobilized in U. S. waters, Involved were the 69 Danish, Italian and German vessels taken into custody two weeks ago Said Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D.

TONY GALENTO followed Maxie Baer over the mountain this week—both fistic flops. Lou Nova disposed of the Clown of Clout with his “cosmic” punch and voung Buddy Baer eliminated Two-Ton Tony for the Joe Louis bum-of-the-month club candidates. Louis, with little gusto, polished off Tony Musto in nine rounds.
