Senate Roof Fire Causes
Little Loss, Much turmoil

A few smouldering boards under
the roof of the Senate chamber, and
fire apparatus converging from every
direction, created a furry of excite
ment at the Capitol today.
/. Damage was slight.
Horace R. Rouzer, assistant archi-
tect Of the Capitol, said workmen
have been repairing the roof. He
pointed out that the old timber
under the metal roof covering was
very dry. A small section of it was
found to be smouldering when fire.
men located the source of the smoky
odor.
The Senate was not in session to-
day and the chamber was deserted
when firemen hurried into the build
Ing in response to the alarm.
The blaze was discovered so quick
ly the sirens of the approaching ap-
paratus were heard before commit
tee clerks and other employees in
the Senate wing detected even a
slight odor of smoke.
Artnur OleSon, one of the work.
men repairing the roof, noticed
smoke coming out of a ventilator on
the roof, some distance from where
he was working. He turned a hand
extinguisher on the smoulderina
boards, but. taking no chances, also
sent word down to the Capitol DO
lice to sound an alarm.

ROME, Oct. 8.-Premier Mussolini
returned today from the central
Italian cities of Bologna. Imola and
Faenza, where he told crowds who
cheered him to hold fast.
"We will hold fast in Emilia (the
division of Italy in which the three
cities are located and in every
other region of Italy" he told fac
tory workers at Imola, and when
the enemy is convinced there Is
nothing doing with us, that will be a
day of victory for Italy"
Fascists said Mussolini's appear
ance in the three industrial cities
was intended to show the world. and
particularly the United States,
through great demonstrations of
popular affection for II Duce that
italian morale was high and the
people were not letting hunger or
the war get the better of them.
Fascists estimated that 400 900
persons turned out for the demon
strations.
Mussolini first attended the dedi-
cation of new monumental mauso-
leum at Pontecchio Marconi, near
Bologna, in which the late Marchese
Marconi was placed.

Bidd|e Approves Use
OF Wire-Iappingt 10
Combat Saboteurs
Declares System Is
Necessary to Check
On Enemies of U. 5.
BY J. A. FOX.

The Justice Department will not
hesitate to resort to wire-tapping to
deal with saboteurs. it was indicated
today by Attorney General Biddle
Il think that if you don't tap wires.
that your espionage work goes out
the window" Mr.. Biddle told news
at the first press con-
ference he has held since he has
become Attorney General.
The Attorney General said he un-
derstood that former Attorney Gen.
eral Jackson had relaxed the general
ban in the department on wire tap
ping in order to deal effectively with
espionage and that he thought this
leeway would be extended also in
extortion cases.
The Attorney General pointed out
that the Federal Communications
Act forbids the interception and di-
vulging of interstate communica-
tions but that he did not believe
that "divulging" could be construed
to mean a report on overlapping
that q subordinate submitted to a
superior officer.
The courts have never passed on
this particular point, he explained.
the Supreme Court decision in the
Nardone case outlawing only the
use of information obtained by wire
tapping as evidence in a prosecu-
tion.
Attorney General Biddle said he
did not believe that in passing the
Communications Act Congress
wanted to tie the hands of a law
enforcement agency In seeking to
combat enemies of the Government.
He said ahat he agreed that wire
tapping is "a dirty business" but
he added that espionage is also.
The Justice Department has
sought unsuccessfully to get leeis-
lation that will legitimize wire-tap-
ping and the use of the evidence
obtained thereby in certain cases,
if authorized by the Attorney Gen.
eral.

U. 5. Urges Finland
To Limit War Aims

United States influence was ranged
squarely alongside that of Great
Britain today in an effort to induce
Finland not to carry on her fighting
against Russia to an extent that
would make it necessary to con-
slider her a full ally of Germany in
the general war.
The Finnish government, engaged
in open hostilities with the Soviet
since soon after the Nazi invasion
of Russia began, has insisted that
the Firms were fighting solely in
self defense against the forces
which took important territory from
her in 1889.
Secretary of State Hull made it
clear at a press conference yesterday
that this Government shares Great
Britain's concern over whether Fin
nish troops are advancing farther
into Russia than necessary to regain
the territory lost in 1899, Such a
step, Hr. Hull said, would in effect
make Finland a participant In the
general war.

LANCER Faces Public
Hearing on Fitness
For Senate Office
Committee to Drop
Froud Charges Against
North Dokoton
BY the Associated Press.

The Senate Elections Committee
recommended today that charges of
irregularities in the election of Sen
ator LANCER. Republican, of North
Dakota, be dropped, but it ordered
public hearings on the question of
his fitness to hold ofiice.
Chairman Hatch, Democrat, of
New Mexico, said the committee
would investigate charges of moral
tupitude lodged against the North
Dakota Senator. This will be at
hearings at which he said Senator
LANCER would be given an oppor-
tunity to testify personally and to
produce supporting witnesses
The full committee unanimously
approved subcommittee report,
made after two-month inquiry in
North Dakota by special investi-
gators.
The subcommittee recommended
the dismissal of fraud charges grow
ing out of last November's election,
as well as allegations concerning
certain fees and kick backs" Sen
ator LANCER was charged with hav-
ing received when he was Governor
of North Dakota. The subcommit-
tee. headed by Senator Lucas, Dem
ocrat, of Illinois, reported it found
evidence insufficient to support
these charges.
In a voluminous printed report,
the subcommittee held that Senator
LANCER should answer before the
full committee charges involving
moral turpitude.
The charges involving moral
turpitude, the subcommittee report
said, for the most part revolved
around the conduct of Senator
Langer's private business as a
lawyer.
Other charges which the subcom-
mittee suggested be studied were:
That during the Federal Court
trial of Senator LANCER he admitted
he received and accepted $4,000
collected from State and Federal
employees and State contracts for his
own political uses and that $500 or
more of it was collected from Fed
eral relief clients.
That while Governor. LANCER as ex
off1cio member of the Board of Di-
rectors of the North Dakota State
Bank. voted to refuse to purchase
bonds of numerous counties of the
State contrary to its usual custom
and that the banks action operated
to his own financial benefit in the
su moi 5000"
That while Governor he accepted
$4,000 for pardon.
Chairman Hatch said the COM
mittee was unanimous in its deci-
sion to conduct public hearing on
the question of Senator Langer's
fitness for office.

Japan S News Agency
Urges Axis 10 End
War in Russia
Shortage Of Materials
Feared if War Against
Soviet Is Prolonged
BY the Associated Press.

bS bIS ASSoCldtcu FTcSS-
TOXIC, Oct. 8.-Domei, in a spe-
cial article, today urged the Axis
powers to terminate the war with
Soviet Russia to conserve German
resources in manpower and equip
ment for an all-out assault on Great
Britain.
The news agency warned that If
the war with Russia is extended
over long period the Axis powers
may be faced with dearth of ma
terials, because, it said, they are a
union of "have-nots."
Britain and America, on the other
hand, the agency declared, may be-
come stronger because they repre-
sent a union of "haves."
Domei, which has close Govern
ment connections, expressed a fear
which has been voiced by other Jap
anese organs, that Germany will
spend her strength in Russia. leaving
her ally, Japan. to face alone the
hostility of Britain and perhaps
the United States.
Inc agency SAID the German
Russian war was started to end any
possible threat to the German rear,
but said this purpose already had
been attained because Russia has
been crippled by the heavy losses
inflicted on her
II the war with Russia is con-
cluded the Germans could turn on
Suez and establish sea communica-
tions with the Far East, Domei
added. Japan then would be able
to remove "the evil hand of Britain
from the Far East" it said.
The campaign to persuade the
Axis to arrive at peace with Russia
has been under way for several
weeks. 1t began with several au-
thoritative commentators in Jap
anese> newspapers. The presence of
such an article in the service of
the japanese news agency gives the
campaign more of an official aspect
than has been accorded it previously

Nazi Sub Drive
Faces Record
Task, Land Says
All Previous Sinkings
Must Be Surpassed
To Beut u. 5. Building
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congress was assured today that
Germany would fail in her efforts
to block delivery of lease-lend sup
plies unless she increases sinkings
to a point greater than they have
ever been before in the history of
the world
Chairman Emory S. Land of the
Maritime Commission gave that as
surance to a House Appropriations
Subcommittee in estimating that a
feet of more than 800 cargo ships
would be required to transport
lease-lend materials to Britain. Red
Sea ports, China and the Near East.
Despite his statement that 25 per
cent of the worlds 1889 shipping
between eight and nine million tons
of allied shipping and half that
much Axis tonnage now is in
Davy Jones locker" Admiral Land
asserted.
This country is in a position to
build, during 1912 and 1943. in the
neighborhood of II to IA million
tons of shipping, and there is no
record of continuous losses greater
| than that. with the possible eXcep-
ton Of the submarine sinkings for a
month or two during the last war"
Building Ahead of Schedule.
At present, he said. this country's
| merchant marine is smaller than it
was in 1899, chiefly due to transfers
| and sales. but he added he hoped
that within the next six months the
shortage would begin to be made up
| through new construction and the
utilization of foreign ships. He said
the construction program already
was ahead of schedule.
Admiral Land estimated that 135
vessels would be required for the Red
| Sea and Near East service and 185
| for the North Atlantic run.
Most of the ships on the Red Sea
and Near East routes are American
! flag vessels operated on space char
tiers to the British ministry of ship
ping, Admiral Land said. He esti-
mated that from November /, le4l,
to May 81. 1912. the cost of main
tanning that service would total
about s64.000000 while that of the
North Atlantic service would be
about 500 100000.
In reference to China. Admiral
Land said that about 80 sailings
would be required for lease-lend
shipments to that republic between
now and next MAY 81 at a cost of
about 100000 each. Those sailings
will be from New York to Rangoon,
Burma. he said.
Summary of Activities.
Summarizing the Maritime Com
missions activities under the lease
lend program, Admiral Land sub
mitted a table showing that con-
tracts had been let for 112 emer-
gency-type vessels; % C-type cargo
ships and 81 tankers in addition to
which IA tugs had been purchased
and delivered to the British govern
ment; 273 British-controlled vessels
have been serviced and supplied:
approximately 70 sailings for the
Red Sea service have been obligated
and II Sailings for the China serv-
ice. Flfty-six shipways are under
construction and on which compile
ton ranges from 7 per cent at one
yard to 80 per cent at another: 48
tankers are operating in the shuttle
service between Venezuelan, Gulf
and Caribbean ports and the eastern
ports of the United States: 100 tank
ers have been serviced and supplied.

Will Be Constructed of
Reinforced White Concrete

Specifications for the new War
Department Building being erected
in Arlington, Va. were made public
last night by the Army, showing a
vast, five-sided structure estimated
to cost s31 O0o,0OO-only $4,000 900
less than the amount appropriated
for the project.
The originally proposed structure
was to have contained Office space
for 10000 workers. While the War
Department statement said nothing
about the number of people to be
placed in the new structure, an
Army spokesman said today it was
intended that it will house 10000
employees.
The announcement said the build
ing reflects" the ideas of the Presi-
dent. 1t was President Roosevelt
who last month put an end to the
controversy that ragged for several
weeks around the originally pro-
posed buildings location and dimen-
sions, directing that it be reduced
in size and placed south of Airing
ton Cantonment instead of in front
of Arlington National Cemetery.
Will Be Air Conditioned.
The War Department announce
ment said the building will be made
of reinforced white concrete, three
stories tall, with a basement. and
will be completely air conditioned.
1t will assume the shape of two pen
tagonal rings. one within the other
and separated by a 40-foot court.
The inside building will surround
6-acre, Handicapped court.
Floors will be connected by stairs
and ramps, with escalators in key
places. There will be only one
passenger elevator in the entire
building.
Parking space for approximately
5000 automobiles will be provided in
two lots adjacent to the structure.
The basement will contain a bus
terminal and taxicab stand. Ramps
and turnstiles for fare deposits,
similar to those in New York sub
way terminals. will be provided at
