OF ‘MUST’ LIST

Long-Range Planes Needed

Both by America and Great .Britain.

WASHINGTON, May 14 (U.P) —!i

National defense officials have put long-range bombers and their engines virtually at the top of the “speed-up” production ‘list, it was learned today. Meanwhile, Affairs

the Senate Military Committee voted unanimously today to strike from the House-approved priorities bill a provision which would have made the CPM’s Priorities Division subject to Army and Navy control. Among those who protested the House amendment, sponsored by

Rep. Eugene Cox (D. Ga.), was OPM | §

William S. Knudsen. He flatly denied a report that retention of the Cox amendment would have prompted his resignation. 5 [ never heard of such a report,” 1e said.

Priorities Revised

A revised listing of priorities in!

the defense and British-aid programs—compiled on the basis of shortages and urgency—placed the big four-engined bombers, and their motors, in a so-called 1-B status, just behind the top 1-A rating assigned machine tools.

Previously, aircraft engines had a|

1-C listing, and planes, generally, a 1-D status. The new listing for bombers, considered vital for British long-range rations over Germany and by our own air force in hemisphere defense, puts them in a class with such things as facilities for harbor and Panama Canal defenses, small Navy ship and cargo ship production, small arms ammunition, and anti-aircraft guns. War Department officials are developing plans for immediate expansion of facilities to produce four-engined bombers at 500 pe: month

New Plants Needed

» new program probabiy will call for construction of two new assembly plants, enlarging current big bomber assembly establishments built at Ft. Worth, Tex., and Tuisa, Okla. The War Department said that] regular Army anti-aircraft forces! have been more than tripled and the Federalized National Guard anti-| aircraft regiments have been more than doubled the past year.

revenue from the small loan busi-) ness, Mr. O'Hair said: | “It takes a great deal of courage for a potential customer who has| not had previous contact with banks | to apply for a loan. In some banks it appears the customary practice is! to decline the loan on general principles because the applicant is not known. . “Furthermore it seems there is very little effort made to learn enough about the applicant to try to make the loan. t's little wonder [so many people have relied upon other financial agencies for their credit needs.” | Sufficient credit said, on enough

information, people will

terially broaden the bank's field and |

in some cases increase the number of its contacts. “We have an opportunity,” he said, “to teach people how to go into debt so they can get out.” Mr. O'Hair suggested that bankers relax their lending policy in order to make more small loans.

“Would it not be better to take our risks with our own people than in the bond market?” he asked. On the morning program, William S. Schneider, senior inspector of the Indiana office of the U. S. Wage and Hour Division, conducted a forum on the provisions of the Wage-Hour Act as they apply to banks.

Treasurer Arch C. Voris, Bedford, reported to the bankers that their association kept “in the black” during the last year. President Paul N. Bogart, Terre Haute, presided. Speakers on the afternoon program were to include G. Schuyler Blue, assistant treasurer of the Security Trust Co., and Evans Rust, manager of the Peoples State Bank personal loan department.

however, show that only $106,511.70 was spent. Thus, even if the $3697 mileage is subtracted from the $108,330 total, the House expenses, as reported in the Journal, will not balance by nearly $2000 with the auditor’s office totals which are reported to be up-to-date. Informed of the discrepances by telephone last night, Noland C. Wright, Anderson, chief clerk of the House who has charge of the Journal, said he would “get the matter straightened out.” Today, Houston Gossett, House bookkeeper, and Albert Snyder, assistant clerk, took the pages containing the apparently wrong figures out of the original and duplicate copies. They gave Herbert Kenney, Legislative Reference Bureau director, a receipt for the pages removed, but none was required at the Secretary of State’s office. Mr. Gossett said that one of the girls working on the Journal had apparently made a mistake. The Journal is an account of all official actions of the House during the recent session and includes a statement of House expenses. The original copy was filed with the Secretary of State and a duplicate copy with the Legislative Reference Bureau.

House Expense Less

House and Senate officers stay on the payroll after the end of the session until they complete their respective journals which are printed and distributed to state officials. The House expense figures in the auditor’s office indicate that the

41 House ‘spent approximately $177 less than did the 1939 session. Both Houses during the two sessions were under Republican control. On the other hand, the Senate Journal for the 1941 session, also filed yesterday, showed that the G. O. P.-dominated ’41 Senate spent approximately $5000 more than did the Democrat-dominated ’39 Senate. The ’41 Senate expenses were listed in the Journal at $66,026.67 while the 39 Senate expenses were

As one example for the reason for the increased expenses of the recent Senate session, the '41 Senate had a postmistress and assistant postmaster, receiving a total salary of $671 for the session, while the ’39 Senate had only one postmaster, receiving a total salary of $366.

This plan will succeed only if the people recognize the emergency and work and sacrifice with the unity of purpose hitherto characteristic of war. “The League has faith in the American people and in their capacity to carry out the plan they have adopted. We trust our Government to find a way to make our plan effective. We reject the slander that only through war can people achieve a spirit of national unity.” Urges Delivery

Mrs. Clarence Merrell, state president, pointed out last night that the League had indorsed the Lease- | Lend Bill and that the National Council feels that if it is worth the | effort to produce “goods,” it fol- | lows that such “goods” should be) delivered. The national group, she empha- | sized, feels that the method of| delivery—patrols, convoys or other | methods—should be left to the ex-| perts. | The adoption of the defense program means that the League will | continue to work through the sum- | mer months, its ordinary vacation | period. t Miss Roach to Speak

Miss Constance Roach, organiza- | tion secretary of the National League, was to speak on a clinic program this afternoon to discuss “The League Member and the Pro- | gram” and at the closing luncheon | tomorrow.

London reported yesterday that the Battle of the Atlantic was going more favorably for the British than in March. : This contrast between March and April seemed to accord a tremendous degree of success to Mr. Roosevelt's extended Atlantic patrol which on its face is a device to help the British protect their munitions cargoes without actually undertaking a convoy job.

Diplomatic sources saw a- direct connection between Germany's extension of the war zone to the Red Sea and President Roosevelt's reopening of the Red Sea to United States shipping. German spokesmen declined to confirm that theory, however and some said that, on the contrary, the German warning applied to ships of all nations.
