"OPM Orde

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P) — OPM Materials Director William IL. Batt has ordered all OPM commodity branches to initiate an immediate survey of the nation's stockpiles and inventories of raw materials. Defense officials said that if the Survey reveals an inadequate supply of materials for defense needs, the OPM’s priorities divisions will move to requisition supplies in the hands of industrial users. This

action would particularly apply to materials imported from the Far East. The OPM survey ordered by Mr. Batt includes those raw materials imported from the Far East, such as tin, rubber, manganese, tungsten, graphite, chromite, manila fibre as well as imports from other areas and data on domestic materials production. The survey will be completed “as soon as possible,” officials said.

He Would Have Supported War Stand With Other Hoosier Legislators.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.— Rep. William H. Larrabee (D. Ind.), the only Hoosier in either House who had a 100 per cent record of supporting President Roosevelt's defense policies, was not present when the historic roll was called for the war. He was at his home at New Palestine, Ind., over the week-end and was unable to return in time, according to his Secretary Earl Cox. The latter tried to arrange to have it announced that Rep. Larrabee would have voted “aye” as did all the other Indianians in both the House and Senate. But such announcements were not allowed by Speaker Rayburn, who announced the vote 388 to 1. The “no” vote was by Miss Jean-

GREATER TAXES

Morgenthau Believes War Will Make People More Willing to Pay.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P).— Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau today declared that the war with Japan makes the need for higher taxes more pressing, Mr. Morgenthau said that the greater expenditures necessary for war purposes will necessitate “a corresponding increase in taxes.” He was confident that the war will make it easier for the Treasury to get through its program for greater taxes because the “people will be more willing to pay taxes under war conditions.” He did not know whether the House Ways and Means Committee —which has been pos ning consideration of the Treasury's urgent request for increased taxes for more than a month—would take up the

tax problem soon, in view of the

new emergency, Mr. Morgenthau said he did not

Services fo U. s.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P.). —Senator A. B. (Happy) Chandler (D. Ky), has made good on his promise “that he would immediately offer his services to the armed forces upon voting for a declaration of war.” Senator Chandler, a reserve captain, revealed that he had called Marvin H. McIntyre, President Roosevelt's secretary, and offered to “put on a uniform and go out and fight” immediately after voting for the resolution declaring a state of war with Japan. A few minutes later, he said, he called Gen. George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, and made the same offer. : “I haven't had any reply yet, but I'm ready to go whenever they want me,” he said.

Harness Returns in Time

Rep. Harness hurried here from his home in Kokomo and arrived in time to vote “aye.” Rep. Noble J. Johnson (R. Ind)

arose from a sickbed to do likewise. Only last week he had the flu and

think it would be necessary to set up any control over capital money markets for the present. Banks and other financial institutions, he said, had been giving “100° per cent cooperation” in channeling capital into defense production instead of non-defense uses.

was threatened with pneumonia.

Both Senators Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind) and Raymond E. Willis (R. Ind.) received a sheaf of telegrams from individuals and organizations in Indiana urging them to declare war on Japan at once. Included was one signed by labor leaders in the Calumet district which said they were back of the move 35,000 strong. “The steel workers of Gary are ready to do anything to win this war,” it stated.

Ludlow Issues Statement

Senator Willis said he had talked to Ralph Gates, State Republican Chairman, and that he was assured that the G. O. P. in Indiana will back the war vote 100 per cent. Had President Roosevelt also asked for a declaration of war against the Axis powers—Germany and Italy—there might have been some division, however. For both Reps. Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind.) | and Louis Ludlow (D. Ind) indicated before the joint session that they might vote against it, if such a declaration were asked of them. They have been ardent leaders of the isolationist movement, but always qualified their stand by saying they would vote for war “if we are attacked.” Before the President delivered his message, Rep. Ludlow issued a long statement showing that his stand heretofore always had been against involvement in any war in which the U. 8. might conceiveably be called the “aggressor.”

Forced to Retaliate

Rep. Larrabee telephoned the following to his secretary: “In the face of what Japan has done in ruthlessly and deliverately attacking us, destroying the lives of Americans and our property, there is nothing left for us to do but retaliate with all our might. I feel that we must immediately declare war.” “The Japs have a licking coming and we are going to see that they get it” declared Rep. William T. Schulte, Democrat. Said Rep. Gerald W. Landis, only a few days ago a leading opponent of the Administration’s foreign policy. “The action on the part of the Japs . . . conclusively proves to me that they are as yellow at heart as they are in color. America will answer that challenge.”

“We'll Finish rt”

Rep. George W. Gillie, Republican: “We didn’t start it, but we'll

finish it.” Rep. Raymond S. Springer, Republican: “When they bombed Hawail, they attacked the United States just as much as if they had bombed Indiana.” Rep. Ludlow, Indianapolis: “It looks as though the Japs are trying to commit hari-kari.” Rep. Earl Wilson, Republican: “T've always been willing to go to war if we are attacked.” Senator Willis: “There is only one thing to do . . . prosecute unrelenting war upon Japan.” Rep. John W. Boehne Jr, Democrat: “Let us successfully prosecute this unjust war which has been thrust upon us.” Senator VanNuys: “The attack by Japan was the most dastardly in the whole history of international relations.” Rep. Halleck: “Of course, there is no other course to pursue but to declare war when we have been at-|3
