SHIPS TESTIFY

Ex-Envoy to Belgium Says 8-Million A. E. F. Needed To Invade Reich.

- WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (U. P.)— John Cudahy, former U. 8. Ambassador to Belgium, told the Senate Relations Committee today that an 8,000,000-man American Expeditionary Force would be required to invade Germany successfully. Mr.' Cudahy testified at a closed in opposition to the Houseapproved armed ship bill, as indications multiplied that the Administration intends to broaden the scope of the bill to remove Neutrality Act provisions banning American vessels from belligerent ports and combat zones. Mr. Cudahy opposed the arming of merchant ships as another step D “edge us into war.”

Flynn Also Opposed

John T. Flynn, economist and writer, followed Mr. Cudahy. Also the arming of merchant ships, he charged that the Administration has “evaded” the provisions of the Neutrality Act. “These ship sinkings of which we have been having so many are the logical result of the very first evasion,” Mr. Flynn said. He recalled that the existing law created the principle of combat zones, and that President Roosevelt declared that the sailing of American flag ships into combat zones created “the greatest peril to our

chief.”

Whether you knew it or not, the City’s government changed hands today in a “coup” members of the Indianapolis chapter, Women of thz Moose. At the Mayor's office today were (left to right), Anita Ebaugh, “fire chief”; Edna Mershon, senior regent of the chapter; Mrs. Prudence Albers, “mayor”; Mrs. Martha Krysiak, who was recently “mayor” of Chicago. and Beulah Anderson, “pelice The ceremonies were a part of the observance of Mooseheart Day throughout the State. .

Fears More Revisions

He said he opposed arming of vessels because it would inevitably lead to further neutrality revision. John Finerty, New York lawyer, said he opposed arming of merchant ships or repeal of any other section of the neutrality law because any revision is “unnecessary unless we intend to go to war.” “Bverything that the President wishes to do, including full aid to the Allies short of war, can be done under the present Lend-Lease Act.” Mr. Finerty said. Chairman Tom Connally (D. Tex.), of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is preparing “some amendments” to the bill which now is before his group. Wendell L.

Willkie is advocating: complete re-

peal. The present bill would allow the

broaden the bill an attempt would be made to strike out of the Neutrality Act also the section on combat zones and.the one that prohibits American ships from entering belligerent ports. Support for such a move came from President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull yesterday. The President’s secretary, Stephen T. Early, virtually invited Congress to make such a move. Mr. Hull told his press conference that the sinkings of the ninth and

tenth American merchant ships this

week were further reasons why many in the Government are encouraging revision of the Neutrality Act. He accused Germany of creating a “reign of terror, frightfulness and absolute lawlessness ‘on the high seas.” Mr. Willkie’s appeal for outright repeal of neutrality created resentment among Republican isolationists. The opposition group was particularly angered by his reference to their tactics as “the ugly smudge of obstructive isolationism” handi-
