Mr. Hoover's views favored the measure. A modified form of the Bankhead bill was approved yesterday by the senate military affairs commitiee, a vote of 9 to 7. But since Mr. Hoover's appearance here watministration big guns have opened fire on him. Majority Leader John W. MecCormack (D. Mass.) got in a firstrate row on the house floor with “Minority Leader ‘Joseph W. Martin “Jr. by terming the Hoover testimony “defeatist.”

Wallace Omits the Name Vice President Henry A. Wallace;

without mentioning his name, assailed Mr. Hoover at the Democratic Washington birthday dinner here, He said: In October of 1917 one of our leading statesmen, who is now a member of the loyal opposition, urged that we send to our allies in Burope food and munitions, but that We avoid dislocating our civilian life at home by sending men. : . “His advice, if it had been fol-

: This man in perfectly good faith is giving similar advice today. He would cut down the size of our army, regardless of = military necessity.”

Green Spreads the Story

This new administration “party line” was broadcast over a nationwide radio network last week by Senator Theodore F. Green (D. R. 1), who identified the man meant by Vice President Wallace as Mr. Hoover. : Denouncing any attempt at curtailment of the armed forces under the 11,100,000 total for 1943-44 as established by the high command, Senator Green asserted: _ “These proponents (of a curtailed force), following the Hon. Herbert Hoover, take a defeatist viewpoint . and say that no way can be found * to mobilize the country’s resources ‘of men, food and other materials to support an army of the size determined necessary by our military + leaders.” Now Date Is Disputed

on: a memorandum sent by Mr. Hoover to Col. House on Oct. 27, 1917, Mr. Hoover replied that Mr. Wallace and Mr. Green had falsified in regard to the date—saying that the ‘memo-in question was really one he had submitted in February, 1917, two + months before the United States en‘tered the last war. So now the controversy has shifted." It no longer is the question of ~ whether or not there will be an ade- ~ quate food supply, but what did Herbert Hoover say in 1917 and was lib before or after we declared war on April 6 of that year. . , : Mr. Green says the Col. House ‘memo is on file at Yale university, He says he intends to dig it up.
