Counter -Propaganda
Urued on Patriotic
Farley by Lecturer
'spectocuIorize Appeal
Of Americonism,'
He Tells Session

Patriotic groups in the United
States must fight propaganda with
propaganda" in their war against
subversive activities aimed at preaK-
ing down American ideals OF demo-
cratic government, j. Carleton Beal,
editor and lecturer, told the 18th
Women's Patriotic Conference on
National Defense at the morning
session today.
Mr.. Beal said patriotic organiza-
tons should "spectacularize the ap-
peal of Americanism" and break
down an impression common among
members of the general public that
their Interests revolve about the
past"
An extensive exhibit OF propa-
ganda material distributed by Com
munists, Fascists, anarchists and
atheist groups was displayed by
Walter S Steele, managing editor
of the National Republic and a re-
cent witness before the Dies COM
mittee. Mr.. Steele suggested the
delegates inform, themselves con-
corning the printed matter being
disseminated so they, through their
organizations in the various States,
might better counterfeit it.
Defense Needs Are Topic.
With Secretary of War Woodring' S
warning before them that this coun-
try's armed forces should be
strengthened, the conference today
was to consider resolutions designed
to stimulate public consciousness of
defense needs.
The report of the Resolutions
Committee was to be presented by
Mrs. Edward S. Moulton, president
general of the Rhode Island Asso-
citation of Patriots.
Addressing the conference last
night, Secretary Woodring said this
country has afforded neither po-
tential wartime commanders and
their stats nor potential wartime
soldiers opportunity to function in
time of peace as they would be
called on to function at the out
break of war"
Regular ARMY SCdttcTcu.
I'VE have scattered our small pro-
fessional establishment far and
wide, enervating, so far as effective
preparation for war is concerned,
the units of our Regular Army" Mr..
Woodring said.
Mr.. Woodring added that adequate
stocks of modern equipment are
vital to creation of IAN Army in
being'-a basic force 100 per cent
prepared at all times for the field.
The dinner also was addressed by
National Comdr. Raymond j. Kelly
of the American Legion.
The Rev. DR.. James Shera Mont
gomery, chaplain of the House OF
representatives, offered the invo-
cation, and Mrs. Lowell Fletche,
Hobart, general chairman of the
conference, presided Music was
provided by the United States Army
Band.

priations Committee recommended
that current funds be cut IN half
and that budget estimates be re-
dueed 20 per cent.
THE House committee action is
absolutely unjustifed and we will
seek to restore all which has been
eliminated, Senator Hill, Democrat,
of Alabama said. There also should
be $212, 100000 for parity payments"
Attempts to restore parity pay
ments in the House have been aban-
doned because of the apparent de-
sire to reduce Federal expenditures
and the fact that President Roose-
welt did not recommend them.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Il
linois suggested that the Senate
could accept House cuts, eliminate
$500, 100000 from pending defense
programs, then examine the fiscal
situation later in the session. He
said Congress could determine the
amount of its savings all along the
line and allocate them according to
the needs of farmers and other ele-
mentS
Independent Offices Bill
The Senate, meanwhile, took up
the $1,138,693, 528 appropriation bill
for more than score of independ-
ent Federal agencies. A $4,000, 900
increase in contract authorizations
for Maritime Commission shipbuild-
ing, and minor reductions elsewhere,
raised the total about $37,006000
above the House bill.
The Senate yesterday passed a
$57 SAL 300 deficiency bill authoriz-
ing money for naval ornaments and
tax refunds. It was 1851, 300 less
than the amount approved by the
House. which must act on the
changes. The Senate total was ST.
784700 below the Presidents rec
commended actions.
During debate yesterday, the
House heard from Representative
Woodrum, Democrat, of Virginia
severe criticism of Secretary Wal
lace for his expressions of opposi-
ton to the drastic slashes demand
ed by the Appropriations Com
mittee
Mr.. Wallace had said the reduc-
tons would result in a grave In
justice to the farmers and he ad-
vised farmers to consider, when
they cast their votes next Novem-
Der. which party would help them
most in 1941.
Mr.. Woodrum said an observation
Of that sort by cabinet member
was in most questionable taste"
and asserted that it looked to him
as though Secretary Wallace was
trying to turn the heat on Con-
gress."
Representative Cooley, Democrat,
Of North Carolina joined Mr. Wood
rum in attacking Secretary Wal
lace, but at the same time criti-
cized the Appropriations Commit
tee for trying to offer the Amer
fcan farmer "as the first sacrifice
on the altar of false economy or
national defense"

Bankruptcy Move Urged
For E., NJ. & 6. Lines
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
An Interstate Commerce Commits
sion examiner today recommended
reorganization of the Chicago,
Memphis & Gulf Railroad Co. under
section n of the Bankruptcy Act.
The examiner, C. A. Bernhard,
recommended that the commission
deny the company's application for
financial adjustment under the
Chandler Act. Action under this
law does not involve bankruptcy.
Bernhard told the commission
that section II appeared to afford
the "only adequate means" for deal
ing with the situation.
In order to authorize financial adj
justment under the Chandler Act
the I. C. C. must find that railroad
is not in need of financial reorgan-
ization under section II.
Bernhard said the commission
should decline to make this finding.
The Chicago, Memphis g. Gulf is
a incorporating lessor company. Its
line extends from Chicago. Memphis
& Gulf Junction, about three miles
west Of Dyersburg, Tenn, to Hick-
mann, KY, a distance of 48.5 miles.
The line is operated by the Illinois
Central under lease.
The Illinois Central supported the
Chicago, Memphis g. Cuffs financial
adjustment plan. The plan called
for the extension of the time of pay
ment of s735,000 of first mortgage
gold bonds from January /. 1910, to
December 81, 1862, with interest re-
duced from to 8 per cent.

American isolationism and disillu-
sionment over the failure of ship
ments of American planes to arrive
in Scandinavia.
One should not conclude, for a
moment, that the Firms and SWedeS
are unappreciative of the extremely
generous American contributions to
war relief. On the contrary, they
are deeply grateful-but when a
nation faces death hourly, its think
ing processes become starkly real
istic. Since the Americans obviously
want to save lives and prevent suf-
fering, they are convinced that
$l,000,000 worth of airplanes would
save more Firms than millions of
dollars for relief.
Swedes Meet Challenge.
This is strictly factual report
on why the Firms are looking to
America and the only way that
American support can give Finnish
democracy both life and hope in
any effective, decisive manner.
The Swedes have met this most
practical challenge about aid to
Finland. Swedish bankers, indus
trialists and shipping magnates
have already privately contributed
81 100000 kroners-almost $1800O,-
000-for Finland. There are no
strings tied to this gift. 1t is a
monetary gift to the Finnish gov
eminent. 1t can be used, and is
being used, by the Firms to pur-
chase the greatest essentials-arms
munitions and airplanes.
The SWedes do not say, in effect
to the Firms, III give you $50
only you've got to take it in ar

tonight or tomorrow for lack of a
gas mask"
; Without airplanes, an incalculable
number of Firms will be beyond the
need of overcoats long before an
other winter comes. Without air.

that Finnish democracy will be in 8

Firms and Swedes today are highly
perplexed by Americas benevolent

yesterday that lendable excess re-
serves of banks declined $4,000, 900
to $500, 100000 in the week ended

increases $2,000,000. Additions to
member bank reserves arose from a
decrease of $23,000,OO0 in Treasury
cash and increases of 100000 in

currency, offset in part by increases
Of S42,000,000 in Treasury deposits
