Harrison Predicts
Selection of Georoe

GULFPORT. Miss, Nov. II (P)-
Chairman Harrison of the Senate
Finance Committee said the Ma
ton has lost a statesman of long
and wide experience" when ap-
prised of the death of Senator Pitt
man.
Senator Harrison expressed the
belief that Senator George would
be unanimously chosen chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee
In tribute to Senator Pittman
Senator Harrison said:
He was a profound student of
international affairs and his posi-
ton as chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee made it pos
sihle for him to champion construc-
tive legislation dealing with many
phases of international relationship.
He was a progressive Westerner
and courageous American whose
counsel in legislative policies and
party affairs was always sought and
was always worth while. His loss
will be keenly felt

restrictions against the extension Of
credit to belligerents.
When Senator King, Democrat, Of
Utah, recently proposed relaxation
of this provision, Mr.. Pittman stood
firm against any change despite the
fact that he favored increased aid
to Great Britain.
In a speech several months be-
fore the war in Europe began Sem
ator Pittman said, The policy of
appeasement has not only been
unsuccessful and ultimately de-
structive, but has been immortal.
1T is evident that no person
can die but once and the period
of life is limited, and it is far
better that he die few days earlier
for Christianity, justice and liberty
than that he live a little longer in
cowardice and degeneracy."
In formal statement before the
war began, Mr.. Pittman COM
mented the people of the United
States did not like the governments
of Japan and Germany.
"The people of the United States"
he said. have the right and power
to enforce morality and justice in
accordance with the peace treaties
with us. And they will"
In July Mr.. Pittman charged, on
the occasion of German Foreign
Office statement that the United
States was meddling in European
affairs, that Germany was sys-
tematically preparing a foundation
for a challenge to the Monroe
Doctrine.
The German accusation, he said,
may have been made as a justifi-
cation for future violation" of
the doctrine.
Assailed Matsuoka.
In recent campaign speech the
Senator referred to the japanese
foreign minister, Yosuke Matsuoka,
as a "bluffing bulldog of the Japa-
nese military clique which has
threatened the United States with
war unless we surrender our rights
in the Pacific and cease to protest
against the mistreatment of our
citizens in China"
He said armed opposition to Japan
was not necessary, because if the
United States would merely enforce
a strict embargo against the jap
aneSe their airplaneS will cease to
ny and their bombs will cease to
drop on the unfortunate people of
China"
Mr.. Pittman supported the trade
of so destroyers to Gerat Britain.
but he had urged that they be
traded for battleships. which he said
this country needed more than
bases.

Mr.. Pittman was active in behalf

clared that nations of the West

able TO meet ANY aggression" which
might arise from the axis alliance
with Japan.

Mr.. Pittman succeeded to the
committee craftsmanship on March
8, 1888. at the inception of the
Roosevelt administration. His pred
ecessor had been Senator Walsh of
Montana, first Democratic chair
man following long period of Re-
publican control of the Senate.
The Nevadan minced no words in
his condemnation of those he called
"aggressor" nations. When sane
tons were proposed against Italy
because of her moves against Ethi-
opia, Mr.. Pittman Endorsed the idea
with the comment. Why shoot
a man when you can starve him to
death?'
Discussing Adolf Hitler in an ad-
dress, he once said bluntly He is a

Mr.. Pittman was one of the orig

Cash and Carry Supporter.
1t was largely through Mr.. Pitt
mans insistence that congressional
revision of the Neutrality Act last
year took the form of 'cash-and-
carry" legislation which permitted
belligerents TO purchase war sup
plies in this country for cash and
transport them on their own ships
In some Administration quarters,
there was strong sentiment for
repeal of all neutrality legislation
and a return to international law
which would have permitted un-
restricted commerce with belliger-
entS.
Mr.. Pittman insisted, however.
that trading with warning nations
be done only on cash and carry"
basis, and gained the support of his
committee for this view.
The Nevada Senator contended
that the sinking by German sub
marines of American vessels engaged
in commerce with England was
responsible in large part for the
entry Of the United States i'll the
World War. Therefore, he insisted,
American ships should be forbidden
10 enter belligerent waters.
He was also instrumental in writ
ing into the new neutrality law,

Under REORGANIZATION

The Civil Aeronautics Authority
and the Weather Bureau became

Administration was placed under
the Federal Security Agency.
President Roosevelt's reorganiza-
ton order of last spring provided
for the shifts, but the effective date

The reorganization moves, effec-
tive today, also provided for the
