tary of the Indiana Public Service Commission” and part owner of the Northern Indiana Telephone Corp. and Commonwealth Telephone Co. He' has appeared frequently as speaker before “mothers” groups and such Nationalist organizations as the Citizens of U. 8. A. Com-=~ mittee, a Chicago outfit run by Southard and Willlam J. Grace. Mote was chairman at the convention of Gerald L. K. Smith's America First party in Detroit, Aug. 29; 1944. 0 Mote publishes “America Preferred,” a monthly paper which attacks the British, Russians, Ameriean government, Jews, Negroes, labor unions, the Fair Employment Practice Committee and the Fed-| eral Council of Churches of Christ in America. He praises the Franco government of Spain and the eco-

1039. The “Farmers Guild News,” published by his farmers’ organizations, follows the line laid down in “America Preferred.” Revealed Ambition With Mote as president, the Farmers’ Guild found itself allied with all the Nationalist outfits in the Smith and Reynolds camps. Then in came the “mothers.” Mrs Beatrice Knowles, head of the Detroit mothers’ organization, became chairman of the Farmers Guild's | textbook commission. When Smith | ran for president on the America First party ticket in 1944, he took Harry A. Romer of St. Henry, O, & power in the guild, as his vice presidential candidate. Mote was planning big things when he took over the Farmers Guild. I have the report of a conwversation in which he revealed his| ambitions. Doubling the membership to 5000 and certain of getting more, he expected the guild to become an important factor in the National Grange, an organizatien-with about 800,000 members. Mote said many of his guild farmers also are mem“bers of the Grange and that some of them occupy prominent positions in Grange activities. Active on Labor Front

He also toyed with the idea that the Nationalists’ influence might be extended to the United Mine Workers. Mote was encouraged in this thought by the fact that the United Farmers of Illinois, which belongs to the National Farmers’ Guild, is afliliated with the Mine Workers’ union. Moving in on labor's ranks is part of the Nationalists’ campaign for power. Some of them are establishing cells in Detroit auto ‘factories SL LR 2 ART mane

FLOOD ADVICE

Says: Army’s Shoals Plan Would Be Wasteful.

Times Washington Bureau °

WASHINGTON, July 17.—As second-ranking minority member of the House flood committee, Rep. Earl Wilson (R. Ind.) ‘advised his

[colleagues “to think rather serious-

ly of some real farsighted flood-

control legislation.” “In the past we have followed the

plan of controlling’ floods by diver- | sion rather than by retaining the and let them vote on whether we water where it falls”. he said. should go to war.”

“Flood control by diversion is impounding water after it has accumulated and has created a lot of disastrous results in eroding hillsides. Impounding the water on someone else's property. is poor taste, and, in my opinion is a very short-sighted and ill-advised program. +1 have talked with several mem-

of controlling floods, Most of them have agreed with me that we should first endeavor tn hold the water back where it falls. ~. Points to Shoals Dam “That, of course, involves strip farming, -tersacing, planting, reforestation, and constryction of small-er-dams in the tribitaries.” Mr. Wilson used the plan for a dam at Shoals, Ind. to illustrate his case. He pointed out that it once was authorized, but later

stricken from the flood control bill. | jis “The Shoals dam,” as recommend- |

ed by army engineers, .would cost about $30,000,000,” he declared, “That

of the money would build 1000 $30,000 dams | United Sons are former Ku-Klux in headwaters of the tributaries of | Kiansmen of long standing who this watershed. But the alternate}

proposal, which is suggested by the army engineers, would involve impounding this water after it had fallen and rushed down the hillsides and ‘thus eroded the lands. Cites Other Lands

The people of my district will not oppose such a project so long as every other method has been exhausted. However, they are not willing to impound water and flood out good, rich land in that part of Indiana simply for the purpose of preventing this water running down onto other people.” Having returned recently from an extended tour of Europe and North Africa, Mr. Wilson described how countries have been made poor hy

P.).—A Tokyo spokesman said today that Japan is “not quite satisfied” with the United States’ recent note acknowledging American responsibility “for the sinking of the Japanese relief ship Awa Maru in the East China sea last April 1. The spokesman said Japan did not want to await the end of hostilities to settle the indemnity question, and that his government wanted to know exactly what disciplinary action was taken against the American submarine commander responsible for the sinking. Navy Secretary James Forrestal already had announced that the officer had been relieved of his

command and court-martialed; but |} that the navy did not intend to |}

make public the result of the trial.

WILSON OFFERS

TREATY ACTION DUE BY AUE, 1

During Big 3 Meet.

WASHINGTON, July 17 (U, P.) ~~ Administration leaders today set Aug. "1—or earlier—as the definite goal for senate ratification of the United Nations Charter, Debate on the treaty to put the United States into the new world security organization is scheduled to start next Monday. One high administration leader in the senate estimated today that the final vote might come by the end of next week. In any event, he doubted that debate would run longer than 10 days, ending Aug. 1. Previous estimates of final action ‘had ranged up to Aug. 15. . May Last Three Weeks The decision to step up the goal was seen as an attémpt to complete ratification while President Truman’s first Big Three meeting still is in progress. That conference may last as long as three weeks. Chances of meeting the advanced deadline appeared excellent. There is no sign or organized opposition. There is no assurance that even a single reservation will be offered. A leading Republican cast doubt on previous estimates that nearly every senator would make a speech on the subject’ before the vote comes. : Instead the debate may be de{voted almost exclusively to trying to {win over such holdouts as Senators {Henk Shipstead (R. Minn.) and Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont,).

Shipstead Did Not Vote Shipstead is the only member of | the foreign relations committee who {did not participate in its 21 to 1 {vote for approval of the treaty. He lissued a statement on his position | last night. | He challenged the philosophy of |setting up an organization to keep peace “before we know what the provisions are in the peace.treaties we are to enforce.” And he said the record of last week's cbmmittee hearing was “con{fused” on the question of authority {for the American delegate to the | United Nations security council.” | Wheeler said in an interview that {he also is concerned over empowering the delegate to cast a vote which might lead to war. He contended.that any such question of using American troops “should be | submitted to the American people
