Army Will Enroll Half Million
Minute Men as Air Observers

essential in the air phase OF defense. J"
Ever since the bombing raids
started over Britain, the Army has
had officer observers at the front to
report back on the latest methods
of civilian cooperation.
The new organization will be
formed under plans developed at
Mitchell Field, N. Y. Embodied in
the civilian observer plan were the
results of the recent experimental
air warning system employed in the
New York-New England test sector"
by the Air Defense Command from
January 81 to "a. Methods used
abroad, as reported by American
officers there, also have been incor-
porated.
Enrolment of the more than
10000 minute men observers will
be carried out by the headquarters
of the four air forces, each of which
covers a region of the Nation.
To know where the attacking
force is poised. where it strikes and
where it may be expected to strike,
is essential in hitting back. That
is where the average man and his
wife come in, the War Department
said.

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE
Italian radio said today that Presi-

"Mr. Roosevelt appears to chal-
lenge the right of the Axis to exer-

pears to contemplate the violation
of his own neutrality law and to risk
the consequences ..
"One thing may be taken for
granted. He cannot bluff the Axis.
The Axis will carry out the blockade
of Britain and Egypt whatever Mr..
Roosevelt may plan. If the
President is bluffing, We shall call
his bluff.
"The cards will then be on the
table. and if the consequence is
war. Mr.. Roosevelt can have it. The
winning cards are all ours"

retary of State Breckenridge Long
told the Daughters of the American
Revolution this afternoon.
The threat against American in
stitutions, he warned. is directed
not alone at the United States. but
at the entire Western Hemisphere.
To repel the only real challenge"
ever made to the institutions founded
by the ancestors of his audience, Mr..
Long said this Nation was preparing
a defense so strong that even the
reckless will retire"
Pointing out that this Govern
ment is aiding countries resisting
aggression abroad and at the same
time is cooperating in mutual de-
fense of the hemisphere, he declared
Pan-America is defending its relig-

Mrs. Imogen B. Emery, chairman
of the National Defense Through
Patriotic Education Committee, said
she wanted Ito see our people en-
lightened upon the work of revolu-
tionary forces within this country,
recognizing propaganda as such, and
weighing carefully each step that
our representatives are taking in
affairs of government"
While she made no specific recon-
mendations, Mrs. Emery's reference
to pressure groups was expected to
be crystallized into a resolution at
tomorrow's session.

work and hinted that there was no
need for them to expand to outside
activities"
She cited the crying need" for
each woman to foster defense activi-
ties in her own community, and out
lined a program in which D. A. r.
members would hunt subversive
school textbooks, and go into adult
education classes to distribute ma
terial on the American way of life
and into the settlement houses with
patriotic movies.
Chapter attention throughout the
country, she said, has been directed
to the study of textbooks in the
schools, particularly history and
social science books, as well as to
removal from the ballot of repre-
sentatives of groups advocating over

Maritime Chairman
Asks Law 10 Permit
Use Of Seized Ships
Army and Navy Also
Favor Bill For Charter
Of 230 Foreign Vessels

BY the Associated Press.
The Maritime Commission today
recommended legislation to permit
use by the United States of some 10
Danish, italian and German vessels
now in protective custody in
American ports.
Admiral E. S. Land, commission
chairman, said in a letter to the
House Merchant Marine Committee
that additional ships were needed
Immediately for both defense and
trade purposes.
Representatives of the Army and
Navy also approved bill by Repre-
sentative Oliver, Republican, OF
Maine which would permit the
charter of $50 foreign flag vessels
now in United States ports and an
additional IS foreign ships laid up
here for repairs.
In addition, Admiral Land recon-
mended that the measure be broad
ened to permit use "of any immobil-
lied tonnage that may be acquired
by the United States by means other
than voluntary transfer" He spe-
ciflcally mentioned the Danish, Ital-
ian and German vessels which re-
Gently were taken into protective
custody by the Government.
After the seizure President Roose-
velt recommended broad legisla-
ton to permit use of foreign
tonnage and Representative Bland,
Democrat, of Virginia. introduced
a new bill Tuesday to permit requi-
sitioning, without the formality of
a negotiated charter, of foreign
craft.
The Maritime Commission, Army
and Navy, however, did not express
views on this new measure because
it has been so recently introduced.
In the course of questioning
Comdr. F. F. Reynolds of the Navy,
Representative Culkin, Republican,
of New York, asked:
Assuming that we take over
these vessels and subsequently one
of them is sunk with Americans
aboard, would that be cause of
WARP"
Comdr. Reynolds asserted that he
could not answer, lacking authority

Draft Board Members
Say Smith Interceded
For Son 10 An Extent
Appeal Agent Suggested
Letter Subsequently g..
Signed by II Senators
Earlier story on Page A-9.)

Statements that Senator Smith,
Democrat, of South Carolina did in
tervene to an extent in the selective
service Classification of his son came
today from two members of the Dis
trict's local Draft Board, No. 5.
Senator Smith yesterday de-
nounced publicity given the refusal
of the draft board to grant his son,
Ellison D. Smith, jr., Class 2 de-
ferred draft rating. The Senator de-
MED asking for his sons exemption
and said he did not appear before
the draft board.
Chairman Davis G. Arnold of
Board 8 said today that after the
board had placed the Senator's son
in Glass l, Senator Smith sought a
conference with Leonard A. Block,
the boards Government appeal
agent, in the Senator's Office at the
Capitol. The deferment was sought
for young Smith as an employe
necessary" in his civilian job.
Merit Seen in Claim.
Mr.. Block explained that he went
to Senator Smiths Office after the
latter phoned him. and that he had
come to the conclusion there was
some merit in the claim" for defer
ment. Accordingly, he said, the
letter subsequently signed by II Sen
ators was suggested by Mr.. Block.
The deferment for the Senator's
son was sought on the grounds that
his knowledge and experience in the
work of the Senate Committee on
Agriculture and Forestry made him
necessary to that body.
Mr.. Arnold said that in testifying
before the local draft board the
Senator's son said he was the clerk
of the Senate committee. The Con-
gressional Directory lists c. Alfred
Lawton as the committee clerk, and
named Mr.. Smith as one of seven
assistants.
Case Weighed on Merits.
Mr.. Arnold said he saw no reason
for the harsh tone of Senator
Smiths statement. The board, he
said, considered the case only on its
merits and took no special recogni-
ton of the fact that the registrant
concerned was a Senator's son.
THE board, however, is not in
fallible," he said "Tf we have come
to wrong conclusion the boy has
the right of appeal"
