COY DEFENDS

SEIZURE BILL

Cites 17 Acts Giving Wilson

Power in Reply to Carl H. Mote.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

"WASHINGTON,

Senate committee by Carl H. Mote,

Indianapolis attorney, Wayne Coy, today cited 17 statutes giving President Wilson wartime powers to| . seize property which he pointed out will ‘be covered in a single law]

sought by President Roosevelt.

Mr. Coy is the Liaison Qfficer of the Emergency Management, This

" makes the 37-year-old Delphi, Ind,

man a top-ranking contact for

President Roosevelt with the entire defense program. In a statement to the press, n which the 17 Wilsonian statutes are cited, Mr. Coy said: “In an appearance before the Senate Military Affairs Committee on Juge 30, Mr. Carl H. Mote of Indianapolis, President of the Northern Indiana Telephone Co. and the Commonwealth Telephone Co., made a vitriolic attack upon the so-called property-seizure - bill, S.1579 (H.R. 4949) and upon everybody who has failed to. come ‘to Washington to protest the bill.

Eminent Domain Power

“This bill—which allows the President to take over property needed for the national defense upon the payment of just compensation—Mr, Mote finds both unnecessary and without precedent. “Mr, Mote, as president of a large public utility, knows well the power of eminent domain. Yet he would deny his Government the same power for defense of the United States. “Mr. Mote is entitled to his opinion on the necessity for this bill, just as all the others who favor or oppose the bill are entitled to theirs. But Mr. Mote in his testimony before the Committee disclosed a startling lack of information.

Cites 17 Statutes

“Said Mr. Mote: ‘President Wilson in the World War was empowered .- during the war to operate dertain privately owned property, especially transportation and communication; but that, I believe, is as far as his powers went.’ “The facts are these: From 1916 to 1920 there were enacted at least 17 separate statutes, all authorizing the condemnation ‘or taking over of various types of plants, industries or other property needful for defense purposes. “Four of the statutes were passed before the war started.” Mr. Coy’s statement then lists the 17 laws giving the day and date of their passage.

ORDER FOR FOOD STAMPS READY

Township to Get $112,500 Worth to Start Plan Here July 28.

An order for $112,500 worth of food stamps with which to start off the Federal stamp plan in Marion County will be sent to the U. S. Treasury disbursing office in Chicago tomorrow or Thursday. This order will mark one of the final major steps in arrangements to inaugurate the stamp plan here July 28, according to John C. Taggett, representative of the Surplus Marketing Administration. . Mr. Taggett said the work of certifying the approximately 14,000 cases eligible to participate in the plan is nearing completion. Next week, he said, they will be mailed notices to call for their stamp books.

Expect 900 Stores

Thus far, about 450 of the county’s 1200 food stores have signed up to accept the stamps for. food, and Mr. Taggett said he expects the number will reach) 900 shortly.

[Chain groceries are el gible to par-

ticipate. Mr. Taggett said that any grocers

wishing to participate but. who haven't registered,

should attend one of the meetings being held this week at the World War Memorial East Room where the plan is being explained and agreements signed. The meetings are being held at 1:30 and 3:30 p. m. each day during the week. The stamp order being prepared by Mr. Taggett calls for $75,000 worth of orange stamps and half as many—$37,500—blue stamps.

To Be Distributed The townships buy the orange

stamps and distribute them free to

direct relief clients and sell them to public assistance recipients of cash aid. For each dollar's worth of orange stamps, the recipient. gets 50 cents worth of blue stamps. The orange stamps can be exchanged at approved groceries for any food. The blue stamps are good for any food on the Government surplus commodity list.

LINDY TAKES GUES OF NAZIS, SAYS ICKES

NEW YORK, July 15 (U.P.).— Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes charged last night that Charles A. Lindbergh had offered the ® American people the “Nazi Party line” in inferpreting events leading to the Russ-German war. He said “it was clear that Lindbergh did not have Lis cue” when he first was asked to comment on the Mazi invasion of the Soviet Union. | “Nine days passed,” Ickes said in an address at a Bastille day celebration of “France Forever,” the Free French organization in the United States. “Then arose the knight of the German eagle and offered this Nazi Party line to the country. “He said Hitler had gone to war

1against Poland because the British

and French had forced him to. He said that Hitler had been forced to attack France and Britain because the British would not permit him to attack Russia.” -Denouncing “this shameless distortion of elementary truth,” Ickes said he had never heard Lindbergh utter words of pity for the peoples of the German-conquered European countries.

aruary. The Admiralty disclosed that British, Allied” and neutral shipping losses for -the entire war passed 7,000,000 tons in June. Authoritative sources expressed confidence that the substantial decrease in losses shown in June would continue progressively becausé of ever increasing British sea and air patrols and because of United States co-operation.

79 Ships Go Down

These sources emphasized that the large-scale tonnage 'replatements coming from British; United States, and Dominion shipyards were helping to counterbalance losses. It was pointed out that on the other hand, enemy losses were increasing steadily because persistent Royal air force attacks on German railroads. were forcing the Germans to increase their coastwise traffic. June losses were put at 52 British ships, totaling 228284. tons, 19 Allied ships,‘ totaling 82,727 tons, and eight neutral ships, totaling 18,285 tons—a grand total of 79 ships and 329,296 tons. It was annbunced that publication of shipping losses at regular intervals would be suspended in the future because the information would be valuable to the enemy. Britain first announced shipping losses weekly; recently she has been announcing them monthly. The Germans claimed to have sunk 778,283 tons of shipping in June and the Italians 98,500, the Admiralty said. These claims, it commented, represented “a 165 per cent. exaggeration, according to British figures.

SH E SWIMS...she rides...she’s typically modern in her zest for the active life. Typically modern, too, in wanting to know the scientific facts about the cigarette she smokes. In choosing Camels, Dorothy Van Nuys enjoys the scientific assuzance of a slower-burning cigarette. That means more coolness, freedom from the harsh, irritating qualities of excess heat... extra mildness. And she knows, from independent laboratory reports, that in the smoke of extra-mild Camels, there is less nicotine, {See above, right.}

Dull Life in North Ireland

. By HARRY L. PERCY United Press Staff Correspondent A NORTHERN IRELAND TOWN, July 15.—The first contingent of United States technicians hired by the British Government for a big project in northern Ireland has been here for three weeks. These Americans signed up for an average of $90 a week, for adventure and, as a section boss from Providence, R. I, put it, “just for the hell

jof it.”

But their material hasn't arrived and, .although they have no complaints about the way they've been treated, they have found only boredom so far. They are, of course, not allowed to discuss the project. Many recently were employed. on the big Uni States naval air base at Quonset Point, R. I. They are a picturesue lot—sand hogs from New York, powder-boys (dynamite carriers) and blasters who worked on Boulder Dam, riveters from the West Coast, pipelayers and even divers. Their ages range from 23 up to the 50s.

He, like the others, took the job without even knowing where he was ‘going. They didn't find out until their ship, which came over in a convoy, landed them here.
