Keep Us Out Of War,
Wheeler Demands in
Reply TO President
Coils on Roosevelt
To Stond by Promises
To Conseript Army
ATLANTA CITY COUNCIL Com
mittee votes unanimously to bar
Wheeler speech. Page AS
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Wheeler. Democrat, of
Montana said today that IF the
President would pull Wheeler. ne
would keep his promise to keep us
out of war"
The Montanan. consistent critic OF
administration foreign policies, was
referring to Mr.. Roosevelts press
conference statement yesterday that
he would not disclose future troop
movements. Authorizing direct quo
tation, the Chief Executive added:
In other words. I don't think it's
right that I should pull a Wheeler" ;"
Senator Wheeler predicted in ad-
vance the movement of American
forces to Iceland. and Britains
Prime Minister Churchill implied
later that the Senator had endan-
gered British lives by his statement.
VIII Ask Extension.
Repeating that if he pulled
Wheeler" the President would keep
the Nation out of war, Senator
Wheeler added that Mr.. Roosevelt
had made that promise during the
last campaign and also made a
promise to the drafteeS that they
would be permitted to return TO
their homes after one year of serv-
ice"
The President told reporters he
would send special message to
Congress next week recommending
that selectees, National Guardsmen
and reserves be retained in train
ing beyond one year.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Idaho
expressed views similar to Senator
Wheeler's regarding yesterdays
White House press conference. IF
the President really pulls Wheel
err" Senator Clark declared, ''he will
keep this country out of war and
will release the selectees. Every one
hopes that he will carry out his
commitments"
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota took exception to Mr..
RooSevelt's statement that Ameri-
can forces would provide protection
in Iceland against attack or threat
of attack. The President added
that neither he nor his listeners
could define threat of attack.
The Presidents declaration that
he couldn't define threat of attack
against us makes it evident that he
has little or no reason on which to
base a declaration of emergency"
Senator Nye said.
From Senator Pepper. Democrat,
of Florida, an administration sup
porter, came a statement that the
President was obviously right" in
his assertion that military authori-
ties believed the occupation of Ice
land by hostile power would be a
serious blow to national and hemi-
spheric defense.
There are some people who
would fight only when gun was
leveled at their head or a knife was
at their throat" Senator Pepper
continued. Then it is too late to
fight-it is suicide.
Some people don't want to de-
fend this country until opportunity
for defense is lost. The one who
gets the draw in these days is al
most certain to win the war.
I'VE should keep our enemies so
far away that they can't get at us.
Who wants to fight a war on the
Atlantic Seaboard?"

For protection, it is said, German
naval architects relied not so much
upon armor as an unprecedented
multiplication of water-tight COM

TO isolate torpedo explosions. The

combed with something like l65 of
these independent cells.
The result, according to present
information, is that it took no less
than IS hits with torpedoes to send
the Bismarck to the bottom. A
standard estimate is that four such
hits would be fatal to a battleship

nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Naval Affairs Committee complained
today that although the country re-
garded the Navy as its first line OF
defense. other things were given
prior call on defense materials.
The national policy is that moth
ing is more important than build
ing these naval ships he declared.
adding that despite a widespread
belief that the Navy was expand
ing fast. his committee had found
that scheduled dates could not be
met without spending an extra
S585 900 000
"Other Things" Not Specified.
Representative VInson did not
specify the other things" but did
say he feared there was definite
threat to the Navy shlpbulldlng
program unless priority ratings
were changed to accelerate the flow
of supplies to it.
Representative Wilson's fears as
to possible hampering of the pro-
gram were shared by Representative

member of the committee. who
closely questioned Navy men as TO
priority rankings of war vessels

facilities and s160,0OO0O0 for ship

Should Have First Call.
That $500 100000 would not have
been necessary if the Navy had been
given first priority Representative
Vinson said That sum will be
charged to the cost of naval vessels.
but as a matter of fact they are
using the Navy and the Naval A.
fairs Committee and the cost Of the
ships to expand industry 10 meet all
the needs of national defense"
If the Navy is the Nations first
line of defense, it should have first
call on materials and production
facilities, Representative Vinson in
dicated.
He pointed out that Admiral Sam
uel NJ Robinson. chief Of the Bu-
reau of Ships. testified that ap-
proval of the s300000000 would fill
the maritime needs of the Army
and Maritime Commission as well as
the Navy as far as was then known.
