DEBATE NEW ROLE

OF PLANE CARRIER

Rep. Mass Says They Have Now Become ‘Striking Force’ of Navy, but lzac Places Greater

Faith in Battleship.

WASHINGTON, June 4 (U. P.).—The house naval affairs committee's new $8,300,000,000 naval expansion program precipitated dispute in congress today over the relative positions in sea warfare of the battleship and the aircraft carrier. Rep. Melvin Maas (R. Minn.), ranking Republican member of the committee and a colonel in the aviation branch of the marine corps, said that the authorization of 500,000 tons of additional aircraft carriers in the new program recognizes that carriers have become the “striking force” of the

navy and that they will “assume the major burden of naval

warfare.” “To a large extent today the carrier has assumed the, relative position of the battleship yesterday,” Rep. Maas said. Theory Disputed Rep. Ed V. Izac (R. Cal), a graduate of Annapolis and a seagoing naval officer of World War I, disagreed with Mr. Maas. He contended that the reason the new program did not include authorization for more battleships was because the United States is well supplied with them at present. “The legislation by means can be construed as meaning that the battleship has given way as the dominant weapon of the seas,” he said. There was no indication how many carriers the 500,000 ton authorization contemplates. Present American carriers range in weight from about 20,000 to 33,000 tons. Chairman Carl Vinson (D. Ga.) of the naval affairs committee said last week that there were plans for a fleet of small carriers as well as large ones. Prepare for Long War The new program introduced in the house yesterday by Rep. Vin-

son, would authorize construction|:

of 1,900,000 tors of new fighting ships, estimated to include 500 ships in the categories of carriers, light and heavy cruisers, destroyers and destroyer escorts. It also specifically authorizes the building of 800 smaller vessels of patrol types. Committee members said many of the latter would be the new small torpedo boats. It was estimated that the new program would increase the size of the projected two-ocean navy by about 50 per cent and would double the present tonnage of the Amerfcan fleet. Committee members said the program is predicted on the possibility of a long war and is designed to maintain and accelerate production in shipyards. Rep. Vinson said the two-ocean navy as originally outlined probably would be completed in two years and that as soon as the ways become vacant construction would start on the new program.

OFFICIALS TO ATTEND

NAZIS ATTACK NEAR KALININ

Sharp Clashes Indicate New German Drive on Russ At New Point.

MOSCOW, June 4 (U. P.).—Sharp clashes around Kalinin, northwest of Moscow, indicated today that the Germans might have selected that front for a new offensive effort. Last midnight’s Soviet communique reported a German attack on

enemy was repulsed. (Reports reaching London said that “fierce fighting” still was in progress on the Kalinin front. The Russians were said to have repulsed “several” strong German attacks, and to have inflicted heavy ecasualties.) The Kalinin front has been one of the most active since last winter, and some observers believed the Germans might have selected it as a likely point to realize their hopes of an offensive. Inasmuch as the Russians were superior in men and equipment on the Kharkov front, the Germans might have decided it was foolhardy to reopen the battle there, these sources thought. (A Stockholm newspaper’s Berlin correspondent reported that the Germans had completed “front line corrections” and that all their heavy equipment had arrived at designated fronts. Therefore, he said, the Germans were expected to begin their “summer offensive” at any moment, certainly before the Russian campaign’s first anniversary on June 22) The Russians also were reported to have improved their positions around Leningrad.

Going to Retire? No, Says Willkie

RUSHVILLE, Ind, June 4 (U. P.).—Wendell Willkie today added a 10-room house to his extensive Indiana holdings, but he wrote in a letter from New York that “any speculation I am about to retire to Rushville would probably be 20 years ahead of time.” Mr. Willkie said he purchased the home—the same one he used as his Rushville headquarters in his 1940 G. O. P. presidential campaigh—to accommodate the many callers when he visits here. Mrs. Phil Wilk, 79-year-old mother of Mrs. Willkie, will occupy the home.

MEDICAL GROUP AIDS BOND DRIVE

Doctors on Home Front Asked to Buy More as Membership Drops.

Indianapolis doctors who remain on the home front wili be asked to invest more dollars in war bonds under a campaign launched by the Indianapolis medical society here today. The drive is to compensate for the loss in bond purchasing power of the society, as more and more

.{local physicians enter the service.

The society is the first of such organizations to enroll a professional group on a definite and regular bond buying basis. A similar campaign is now being organized among the attorneys in Indianapolis. A committee of doctors began contacting their fellow-members of the society today to explain the regular bond investment program. The committee is comprised of: Drs. Louis Segar, Bert Ellis, John Swan, Charles Weller, Fred Gifford, Leonard Ensminger, Ross O. Hinger, Myron Harding, Daniel Bower, Walter Moenning, Raymond Mitchell, Roy Myers, J. B. Stalker, Euclid Gaddy, Thomas Dugan, E. O. Asher, James Browning, Walter Hickman, O. E. Carter, John Brayton, Arthur Funkhouser, Joseph Barry, Herman Kuntz, A. S. Jaeger and J. A. MacDonald, Dr. Norman M. Beatty was appointed chairman of the committee by Dr. Goethe Link, president of the Indianapolis Medical society. u = ”

Saas Directs Publicity

George Saas was today appointed state director of promotion and publicity for the payroll allotment division of the state war bond staff. For the past 10 months Mr. Saas has been publicity director for the Marion county war savings staff. Mr. Saas is advertising manager and director of public relations for the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility, Eber Spence is chairman of the payroll allotment division. 2 » =

Firms on Honor Roll

Two more Indianapolis firms were added to the war bond honor roll today as their employees, 100 per cent strong, pledged to invest 10 per cent of their salaries in war bonds. Flanner and Buchanan mortuary, 25 W. Fall Creek blvd. is the first funeral home in Indianapolis to attain a place on the roll and the 47th to be added to the list. The 48th firm to join the honor roll was Adams, Inc, 50 S. Meridian st. Each firm which attains the goal of “100 per cent at 10 per cent” is given a certificate of award by the U. S. treasury department.

KANSAS CITY GIVEN ‘42 LEGION SESSION

Kansas City, not Indianapolis, will be the site of the 1942 American Legion national convention. A Legion committee originally had decided to hold the ‘“stream-

lined” convention here, but the executive committee, meeting at national headquarters, decided Indianapolis’ facilities might not be adequate in view of the transportation difficulties brought on by the heavier war production. The convention will be Sept. 19 to 21 and the program will be lim=ited to business. About 10,000 delegates and visitors are expected to attend. Originally, the convention was scheduled to be held in New Orleans but the war forced it inland. In the voting by members of the executive committee, Indianapolis received four votes on the first ballot. On the second it received none.

The 25th anniversary of continuous service in the telephone industry in Indiana is being observed today by L. B. Yeager, 3112 Boulevard place, plant department supervisor in north Indianapolis for the Indiana Bell Telephone Co. Mr. Yeager’s career in the indus-

try began in Evansville as a groundman for the former Southern Telephone Co. of Indiana. In 1919 he was promoted to lineman and later to installer and combinationman. In 1929 he was transferred to South Bend as supervisor, then to Peru as plant chief. He assumed his present position in 1936. Mr. Yeager is a member of the Telephone Pioneers of America.

g |QUEZON URGES NEW WAR CRY

‘Remember the Philippines,’ He Pleads in Address To U. S. Senate.

WASHINGTON, June 4 (U. P.. —President Manuel L. Quezon of the Philippine commonwealth, promising that his country would stand by the United States “in life and in death,” said today the tie that binds Filipino and American people is one which “transcends all political and legal relationships.” Addressing the U. S. senate by special invitation, Quezon urged that this country adopt another war slogan—“‘Remember the Philippines.” “Our aims, our hopes, our aspirations are the same as your own,” he declared. “In the great moral causes, the principles of righteousness, of liberty, of peace, the United States and the Philippines are in complete unison with one another; they are in absolute and hearty agreement.” In asking the new battle cry, Quezon said the Japanese invasion of the islands was an integral part of the war against the United States. “Regardless of the hidden intensions that Japan might have had about the Philippines,” he said, “as a matter of historical fact the invasion at this time was the result of conflict of views and policies between the United States and Japan which directly refer to other countries in the Far East and only remotely and indirectly might be considered as involving the Philippines.”

SIGNS CADET INCREASE WASHINGTON, June 4 (U. P.) — President Roosevelt today signed legislation to increase the number of cadets as West Point from 1960 to 2498 a year. Each member of congress will be entitled to make one additional appointment to fill

L. STRAUSS & CO, THE MAN'S STORE

Harness Assails ‘Snoopers’ in U.S.

By DANIEL

M. KIDNEY

Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, June 4.—Leon Henderson doesn’t need

100,000 federal ‘“snoopers and

gestapo agents” to police his

price control system, Rep. Forest A. Harness (R. Ind.) told his colleagues in the house today. He suggested that the job can be done by organizing a few shrewd housewives who will promptly report the price

chiselers. The Kokomo congressman took the floor to deliver a warning against dictatorship

by bureaucracy and cited the proposed nation-wide gasoilne rationing as a case in point. Like all the Hoosier Republicans and Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.)), Rep. Harness maintains that gas rationing is not necessary in Indiana and far better ways can be found to conserve automobile tires. Claims State Has Gas Surplus Rep. Ludlow wrote a long letter to Mr. Henderson against any extension of gas rationing from the Eastern seaboard to the Midwestern states. He cited letters from Indiana to show that there is a surplus of gas there. The Indianapolis Democrat, long a resident of Washington, doesn’t drive an automobile, so is not affected by the gas rationing here. Rep. Harness drives and has one of the X-cards (unlimited gas) given to congressmen. “Isn’t it high time to put the brakes on this ballooning bureaucracy that is actually destroying important portions of the American economy and literally forcing changes in the American way of life which will become permanent if allowed to continue much further?” Rep. Harness asked in his address. Speaking of the probability of gasoline rationing throughout the nation he said: “Here in the East, the problem

is largely one of transportation, There isn’t any such problem else where. There are actually tremende ous surpluses of well and refinery

capacity; and there are ample transe portation facilities to distribute oil and gas to the regular retail outlets, “The rationing officials are quick, in fact, to make it clear that the restrictions will be imposed not to save petroleum but to enforce cone servation of rubber.” A better method would be to slow down the cars Rep. Harness cone tended. “We have all heard Mr. Hender~ son’s estimate that it will require another army of 100,000 federal em ployees to maintain the system of price controls which he is putting into effect,” Rep. Harness continued,

Prefers Slowing Down Cars

“Just why we need 100,000 federal snoopers and gestapo agents riding herd on American shop keepers and merchants is a little hard for me.to understand. “Does he believe that every Amerie can businessman is a cheater and chiseler at heart, who must have a federal checker at his elbow every time he makes a sale? “Instead of this system of federal price policemen, why doesn’t Mr, Henderson recognize the shrewd shopping instincts of the housewives of America? “Why doesn’t he organize selech committees of these shoppers in each community and give to them the job of policing prices?”
