Secretary Hull was the lirst on
the list Of high Standardization
officials called TO appear before
the House appropriation sub
committee for brief, secret testi-

the acting chairman, said the
state department head would be
followed by Secretaries Morgen-
thau; Stimson, x n . x; Gen.
George c. Marshall. army chief
of staff; Admiral Harold r..
Stark, chief of naval operations
and William 8. Knudsen, defense
production chief.
Woodrum said he planned to
close the hearings Saturday, if
possible, 50 a. to bring the bill to
the House floor for debate early
next week.
There's been enough delay
and debate" the tall Virginian
declared. speaking of the two
months It took to pass the British
aid bill.
Woodrum anticipated little
disposition to trim the British
aid fund, despite ito huge size.

Discussing plans for the hear

1--WE will 90 into the interna-
tional picture briefly with Secre-
tary Hull, and will try to And out
from the army and navy people
what weapons and other items of
equipment they may be able to

The details would be carefully
guarded, Woodrum said, and lit
tie will be made public at least
until such disclosures would
have no military significance.

Vocal opposition to provision
of the huge fund was conspicu-
ously lacking although some leg
islators privately expressed
doubt that 50 much money ac-
tually was necessary to get the
program going.
As the committe prepared to
begin its deliberations, there
was talk that President Roose-
welt might make some dramatic
effort to accelerate the nations
industrial machinery and get
faster production for the aid pro-
gram.
Woodrum said he had heard
nothing specific along such lines
but commented that was 1.-THE

file far down as the point where
