Taft Scores Methods,
Not Aims, Of New Deal
Dy the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. Ex-senator
Robert A. Taft of Ohio told q dinner
gathering Of Republicans last night
the objectives Of the New Deal
have been the objectives of every
government, Republican or Demo-
cratic, which this Nation has seer" /"
1.-THE real differences today are
not those Of objectives, but Of
methods" he declared.
He arraigned the New Deal for
what he declared was its failure
Ito produce that very economic
prosperity which it promised and
seems to regard as the sole essential
Of human happiness.
I'm doing 80 it had endangered
that liberty to secure which the
Nation was founded. It has reduced
the chance of securing even eco
nomic prosperity during the i'm
mediate future, for 1t has piled up
q huge debt which must be paid.
1t has saddled taxes on the people
for many years to come, which
can only have the effect Of dis
couraging the development Of busi-
ness enterprise.
THE Republican party believes
that prosperity can only be brought
about as 1t has been in the past,
by the encouragement and growth
Of private enterprise. That does
not just mean big business It
means the encouragement of thou
sands of small businesses and small
enterprises"

Effect on Catholic Church
OF Polish Conquest Studied
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, Sept. 23.-High
Catholic leaders studied with con-
cern today the possible effect Of the
conquest Of Poland on the church.
Pope Plus was said to be giving
close attention to a report on the
situation from August Cardinal
Hlond, primate Of Poland, who Is
now In Rome.
Poland long has been considered
here a stronghold of catholicism.
Sixty-five per cent Of its people are
Roman Catholics, 10 per cent Greek
Uniat Catholics who recognize the
Pope, II per cent Orthodox Catholics
not recognizing the Pope, and most
Of the others Jews.
Reports reaching here indicate
Polish church buildings have been
damaged considerably, but there has
been no word Of religious molesta-
tions. All bishops except the primate
have remained in their sees.

Speed-Up May Finish
Army Plane Orders
Far Ahead Of Time
Half Of PIonts Engaged
In Work Have Put on
Double Shifts
~ the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
Wheels of American aircraft
plants have been 30 speeded up, es-
pecially since the start of the Euro
pean war, that the $500, ,00c. 900 ex-
pansion Of the Army Air Corps may
be attained six months or more
ahead Of schedule.
The estimate Of the time saving
came today from authoritative
sources after an unofacial survey
disclosed that about half the fac
tories engaged in turning out more
than 5000 warplanes have put on
double shifts of workers recently.
Other manufacturers have indi-
Gated an intention to follow suit,
with the result that virtually all
plants working on military plane
contracts are expected to be oper-
ating at twice normal speed by the
end Of the year.
The faster production pace was
set voluntarily by some Of the larger
manufacturers, with at least passive
encouragement from the War De-
partment.
The Army has accelerated the re-
cruiting of 25,139 additional me-
chanics and other specialists sought
by next June 80. And the training of
pilots has kept pace with schedule,
so no delay has been indicated in
providing the men for the force of
at least $500 planes which Congress
authorized.
The original goal for completion
OF the more than 5000 new planes
was June 80, 1941, but fast-moving
production lines promise to advance
this to late next year, it was said.
Completing deliveries ahead of
schedule involve no extra expense to
the War Department, which is
limited by appropriations. Manu-
facturers have reported their unit
production costs likewise would not
be increased, since they figure dou-
BILE shifts mean double output.
Another result of speeding produc-
ton has been to keep skilled workers
who otherwise might be attracted by
oners from Canadian factories,
which are working under wartime
pressure.
Despite the increased demand for
skilled workers, no acute shortage
has been reported to officials here.

Taft-I believe that the embargo
on the shipment of arms, ammuni-
ton and implements of war should
be repealed on condition that export
be permitted only on a cash-and-
carry basis. .
Pittman-To be logical and con.
sistent, Congress must either add te

gasoline and cotton, or must place
everything on the cash-and- carry
basis. I favor repeal of the arms en-

Overton: II am opposed to lifting

Ellender: II am for repeating
the embargo and making 1t so any

munitions, provided title passes be-
fore it leaves an American port"
Miller: ITO fail to repeal the arms

Andrews: 1.-THE neutrality legisla-

reality a big help to Hitler, for it
prevents this Nation from helping
its real friends"
Green: Il favored a change in the
act last session. I still favor a
change The act now is very un-
satisfactory and unneutral"
Byrnes: I'm with the President

that to repeal the embargo is the

purposes of neutrality and should
try them out.
Thomas OF Utah-I should like to
see the arms embargo provision in
the present Neutrality Act repealed.

Ban on Special Rebates
For Chains Is Upheld
BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23.-Con-
stitutionality Of the Federal law
forbidding special agreements by
which chain stores can buy at lower
prices than competitors is upheld
by the Third United States Circuit
Court of Appeals.
In a decision yesterday the court
sustained an order in which the
Federal Trade Commission directed
the Great Atlantic e. Pacific Tea
Co. not to get special rebates" from
manufacturers. Such rebates, the
commission contended, interfere with
fair competition and handicap small
manufacturers, jobbers and whole
salers.
The company contended the re-
bates were for actual service given
manufacturers in the form Of trade
information. Anti-price fixing pro-
visions OF the Robinson-Patman
law the company contested as un-
constitutional.

Appeals Courts opinion, declared

its power" to halt the practice Of
sellers paying brokerage "or sums

Gas Is Rationed
In Britain; Acute
Cab Shortage Seen
Registration Forms,
Food Allotment Busis,
To Go Out Monday
n the Associated Press,

., the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 23.-Rigid ration
ing Of gasoline swept motor traffic
from the streets of London and
other British cities today and
threatened an acute shortage of
taxicabs.
At the same time, the govern
ment prepared for general distri-
button Monday Of national regis
tration forms on which food ra-
tioning viii be based. Registra-
ton day for every one in the United
Kingdom Is next Friday.
For the ordinary motorist, the
new regulations meant a driving
range of from 100 to 200 miles a
month. For instance, the owner of
a small, popular American car of
60 horsepower is allowed 10 gallons
Q month.
Pinched down to two gallons
daily, the drivers of London's high,
antique-looking taxis were all but
desperate. They said the probable
result would be no taxis on the
streets after noon.
1900 Face Idleness.
Before the war, there were 5000
London cabs and 12,200 drivers,
most of them elderly. Wartime
services have taken more than 5000
cabs and 1000 drivers. The 10000
remaining drivers have been split
ting shifts, but now, it is esti-
mated, $500 will have nothing to
do at all
Commercial operators faced SINH
lar, although not as serious, prob
lens. The government promised no
essential service would be handi-
capped, and there were provisions
for extra supplies for public utili-
ties, doctors and others.
Newspapers displayed pictures of
billowing gas bags which were fitted
atop cars in the World War and
said domestic gas companies were
considering scheme to supply
something similar, perhaps COM
pressed gas cylinders. The cost of
converting carburetors to use of
gas was reported to be small, and
the price of gas would compare
favorably with the price of gasoline,
now one shilling eight pence (about
IS cents a gallon in Britain.
Guard Against Hoarding.
Until midnight in London's inky
blackout, long lines Of cars rubbed
bumpers at service stations last
night, their drivers determined to
get a last full tank of gasoline.
Many stations exhausted their sup
plies.
Drivers who bought five-gallon
drum barrels were turned away.
The government has forbidden
motorists to keep more than two
gallon cans in garages as a guard
against boarding.
In the general gloom which af-
ficted motorists. the staid London
Times said rationing "is likely to
alter the look Of London and get
ting about will be easier and pleas
anter. More horses are likely to
be seen and private carriages will
be about again -"

Poll
Continued From First PaRe.)

sion Of Congress just started, an
alysis Of members statements
showed some factors likely to pro-
vide obstacles for the President S
supporters.
For one thing, several of those who
said they would vote for repeal of
the embargo added they would do so
only on condition that a strict cash
and-carry" statute were enacted in
its place. This would require ship
ment to be paid for in cash and
transported in non-American ships.
A prohibition against American
ships carrying goods of any kind to
the belligerents, now being written
into the administrators repeal bill,
may satisfy some of these.
Others of the repeal group, how
ever, said they would oppose a
''cash-and-carry" plan and would
insist on return to international
law. Under the 1909 Treaty Of Lon
don. which is still considered a
fundamental thesis of international
law, neutrals had the right to ship
war materials to any belligerent,
but any belligerent had the right
to seize such materials en- route
to his enemy.
Unless the administration is able
to compromise the differences among
foes of the arms embargo, it may
not be able to muster its apparent
strength on any specific proposal
before the Senate.
Also, many of those on both sides
emphasized that their present be-
liefs might be changed by later de-
velopments in the European situa-
ton.
Independent of Other Line Ups.
The division bore no close rela-
ton to the lines that have been
formed in the Senate over past
issues. Republicans Joined hands
with Democrats on both sides of
the question. Foes Of administration
policies teamed with New Deal sup
porters. Administration stalwarts
took their place beside the Presi-
dents foes.
Among the "A favoring repeal Of
the embargo were 38 Democrats, S
Republicans and independent. In
cluded in the 10 opposed to such
q course were 8 Republicans,
Democrats. l Progressive and 2
Farmer-Labor members.

4 Major Causes
Listed For
Traffic Toll

PHOENIX, (AriZD December 29--
"Carelessness, recklessness, drunk
enness and utter disregard of the
laws are responsible for Arizona S
mounting toll of death on the high
ways, Governor Jones charged after
he was informed that more people
were killed in automobile accidents
during the first 10 months and a
half of 1889 than in all Of 1888.
This record, in contrast to de-
creasing highway fatalities almost
everywhere else in the nation, is
"a disgrace to our State" asserts
the Governor.
He appeals to all law-enforcement
officers to cooperate with the Ari-
IONA Highway Patrol in curbing the
-four horsemen'' of death on the
roads-drunk driving, reckless driv-
ing, speeding and failure to observe
boulevard stops.
An analysis of 158 automobile
fatalities that occurred in the first
half of 1899 shows that II per cent
were directly attributable to drunk
enness on the part of drivers.
