Testifying before the house for
eign affairs committee, Kennedy
said the surrender of congressional
authority is required to some degree
to permit the United States to
catch up on preparedness.
Answering a series of questions
by Rep. James P. Richards, D.,
S. c., Kennedy said
Congress will have to surrender
some of its prerogatives because
this is an emergency.
Il think it very definitely requires
some surrender in order to catch
up"
You have faith in President
Roosevelt's ability and integrity?"
asked Richards.
"Completely!' said Kennedy.
DO you believe" Richards con-
tinued, that this bill gets US nearer
to war than we are noW?'
That's a difficult question" said
Kennedy Il have no answer"

Sque eze Play on
Fascist Forces
Gets Under WAY
BY UNITED PRESS

Great Britain's d e 5 e
fighters launched their at
tack on the Italian garrison
Of Tobruk Tuesday as ru-
mors spread of possible Axis moves.
The rumors did not divert the
British from their hard-hitting cam
paign in Africa.
The assault on Tobruk, said to
be proceeding satisfactorily" was
opened with devastating air at
tack by the Royal air force. The
EAF also blasted again at the Nazl
dive-bomber base in Sicily and
smashed at Italian forces in Alba
MIA.
To the south, along the northern
and southern borders OF italian East
Africa, a British squeeze play got
underway from the Sudan and Ken
va. Prime Minister Winston Chur-
chill promised that the East Afri-
can operations would be pursued
without interruption.
/ On the British home front, La
Dor Minister Ernest Bevin an
nOunced an unprecedented plan
whereby Britains man and woman
power will be modified to turn
out planes, ships and war materials
faster than ever.
Europe's rumors, if they did not
derive directly from Axis sources,
sprang indirectly out of the secret
weekend ConfcreucC of Adolf Hitler
and Penito MuSspiini.
Most of the reports were about
Rumania where there was trouble
again. The descriptions OF that trou-
BILE varied in line with The particu-
lar interests OF each Balkan capi-
tai.
The other rulnorS concerned
Spain and, by implication. France.
VichY had an unconfirmed re-
rort that Hitter would meet with
SPANS Gen. Francisco Franco as
a result OF his conference with Mus
solini.
That report brought to the fore
again the possibility of Nazi at
tack upon Gibraltar through Spain.

800 Million Voted
ToStrengthen U.S..
Fleets Defenses
Shipyard Expansion, Gun
Factory Building Next
On Congressional List

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
(UP)--The house today pass
ed unanimously and sent to
the senate a bill authorizing
the navy to spend $3OO,OOO,-
600 to strengthen the anti-aircraft
defenses OF the fleet.
The house acted on the first meas
ure in a 1909 100000 naval expan-
sion program after Carl Vinson OF
the naval affairs committee dis
| closed that President Roosevelt
shortly will ask congress for an
other supplemental defense appro-
priation to cover this program and
probably increased army expendi-
| lures.
1t will take up consideration to-
morrow of the remaining two meas
ures which would:
| /. Authorize the expenditure of
| $315, ZOO, 600 to increase the nations
shipyard facilities.
2. Authorize expenditure of $l94.-
100000 for new gun and armor fac
tories.
3. Permit the navy to build 400
additional auxiliaries at a cost OF
10000 600.
4. Increase the number of mid
shlpmen at the Annapolis naval
academy, Immediately, by authoriz-
ing each member OF congress to ap-
point five instead of four, the pres
ident to appoint 25 instead of IS,
and the navy to select 100 instead
OF so from its reserve.
The anti-aircraft defense meas
ure was the first bill passed by eth
er house this session. There was
brief debate involving the rela-
tionhip of this program and the
aid-to- Britain bill now in hearings
before the foreign affairs committee
but no opposition was expressed to
the naval bills.
Rep. Hamilton Fish, r., N. Y.
opened debate for the minority on
the bill by urging that it and "all
naval bills of this character" be
amended Ito prohibit the executive
from giving away any part of the
navy without consent OF congress-"
No man regardless of how good,
bad or Indifferent he is, as the
chief executive of the United States,
should have such power to give
away any part OF our navy" Fish
said
He said the bill was a purely
national defense measure" which
all members of congress want to
expedite.
