ALLS BRITAIN'S ALL U. S. LOSS

lorris ‘Says Defeat Certain If Hitler

Beats England.

WOOSTER, O., June 16 (U.P.).— ator George W. Norris (Ind. Jeb.) declared today ‘the United tates is “certain to be beaten in the race for military supremacy” if

“Defeat of Britain wou w this nation inevitably weal a \ military ggle with the totalitarian states, nator » Norris said, “the hances are that we go down at the end of the struggle and-be-‘come the slaves of Hitler.” The elderly Nebraska statesman

‘spoke at the 71st commencement at |

‘Wooster College. He was awarded an honorary degree as doctor of laws. ‘will Life Be Worth Living? Advocating full aid to. Britain w, Senator Norris asserted: ~“It seems plain that, even at the. risk of war which will not extend as far as I can see to the sending of an Army to foreign lands, but will be confined to warfare upon the séas and in the air, it will be far better to take that chance than to see England fall and compel us to jo through the preparation which in be necessary to meet the foe at

“in this race for military supremacy which everybody admits we will— "with all the charices against us, will life be worth living during that period?” he asked.

Sees Arms Race Lost

_ ‘In event of a German victory, ‘Senator Norris foresaw a world in which Hitler will attack this hem.ispliere through Central and Sout “America after “several” years. Meanwhile, there will be an arma“ment . race between the United States on one side and Japan, "Russia and Italy oa the other. The ‘combined resources and low living ‘standards of those states will enable them to outstrip he U. 8. in armaments. While all this is going on, the U. §. will. be deprived of its normal trade of Europe and probably will ‘Jose most of its trade in Central ‘and South America, Senator Norris continued. . Curtailment of foreign trade will compel this country to levy: heavy ‘taxes to meet the armament burden and “mean a life of bitterest poverty for rhillions,” Mr. Norris predicted. “How long can we keep this up and maintain ourselves?”, he asked. “H6w long before we will meet the fate of other nations and face a i revolution at home?”

STATE WOMAN'S SLAYER DOOMED

Brown to Go to Chair for Death of Marion, Ind., Poetess in Texas.

SPEARMAN, Tex, June 16 (U. P.).—Orrin J. Brown, 57, appeals before Judge Jack Allen today, 0 be told the date on which he will be electrocuted for murdering his “mail order sweetheart” Leota Murphy, a red-haired Indiana poetess. A jury of farmers found him guilty late Saturday of “murder with malice,” and fixed the death penalty. Brown heard the verdict calmly, and called for a meal and a newspaper, so he could catch up on the war news. He had not been allowed a newspaper since the trial began two" weeks ago. Brown ate heartily, read the paper for a few minutes, and went soundly to sleep. He met Mrs. Murphy through a correspondence club, and with amorous letters signed, “Robert F. Lawrence,” persuaded her to leave Indiana and come to him. They toured West Texas and Oklahoma as man and wife, spending the nights in tourist camps. The body of Mrs. Murphy was found last March beside a littletraveled road. Her head had been beaten in with a hammer. Witnesses testified that he and Mrs. Murphy left Perryton, Tex. last March 10, together, and Brown returned alone.

Within the next few weeks, the Maritime Commission expects to take over more Danish ships and, as soon &s sabotage damage repairs are completed, German and Italian vessels. The requisitioning today was carried out before DE oo of negotiations with agents for ship operators on compensation, indicating the urgent need for an increasing number of merchant ships. There are 33 additional Danish bottoms in American or terri waters, and the Commission is proceeding with negotiations to take over Pigse igri vessels as soon

as ile ships requisitioned today were:

At New York—Nora, 2937 tons; Marna, 1700 tons; Jonna, 1517 tons. At Boston — Rita Maersk, 1889 tons; Herta Maersk, 1890 tons. At Portland—Jutta, 1549 tons. The commission said there had been no final decision as to what service the ships would enter, but added that it was possible “that one or more will be operated ir the service of the United States Army.” “It is likely that none of the six will be used in trans-Atlantic serve ice,” the Commission said. The commission expressed ‘hope that the Danish crews would remain aboard their vessels. Other quarters reported that the Danes were under strong pressure from the Nazi-dominated Copenhagen Government. :

PLANES MAY GONVOY SHIPS ON FERRY TRIP

Copyright, 1941, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. LONDON, June 18.—The possibility that American-made planes will go into active service from the moment they take off on ferry flights from Canada was seen today as Sir Frederiek Bowhill took up his work of directing delivery of the craft to Britain.
