Gen. Rutherford Sees
Shortage Of Skilled
Defense Workers
New Industrial Burden
Expected if Emergency
Continues to Develop
By the Associated Press.

3y the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 25.-Brig.
Gen. H. K. Rutherford said today 'it
appears probable that an additional
burden of production beyond any
that has yet been formulated" will
be placed on industry if the national
emergency develops as it threatens"
Gen. Rutherford, director Of the
planning branch in the Office of the
Assistant Secretary of War, told the
Emergency Committee of the Pitts
burgh District that delays in formu-
lating the defense program, caused
largely by the magnitude of the task,
now are past.
But, he continued, there is an ad
ditional factor which is likely to
cause considerable difficulty as the
program gets under way in the fac
tories" This, Gen. Rutherford
added, is the shortage of skilled
workmen, already felt.
The production program for
which contracts have already been
let is just starting. 1t appears prob
able that an additional burden of
production beyond any that has yet
been formulated will be placed if the
emergency develops as it threatens.
Long periods of time are required to
train these workmen for service.
Can we wait for these men to be
trained until the need for them is
actually upon us? Should we
not now anticipate the probable sit
uation and prepare factor of safety
In our favor while we still have the
time?" the general asked.

Robert Il. Captures
$4,000 Miami Beach
Handicap on Grass
Little Risk Beaten
In Sprint Feature;
CIurksviIIe Loses
By the Associated Press.

Bv the Associated Press.
HIALEAH PARK, Fla, Jan. 25.-
j. B. Partridge's speedy Robert l.. to-
day lived up to the promise shown
in his last race by capturing the
$4,000 Miami Beach Handicap at a
mile and one-siXteenth, the only fiat
stake race run in this country on
the turf.
Despite a track still wet after an
overnight rain, Robert l.. covered the
grass course in the good time of /
minute, 47225 seconds. He paid better
than 4 to l in the mutuels. Topee, a
long shot, nosed out Many Stings,
winner of last years Widener Cup,
for second money.
Long Shot Wins Fifth.
One of the major surprises of the
meeting developed with the running
of the 6-furlong fifth race. Little
Risk and Great Albert, first and
second choices, respectively, in the
field of five, bowed to Big Pebble, a
$48 .90-for-$2 shot
Big Pebble, from The successful
Circle M Ranch Stable, had not
started since last August and then
in distance affairs. Wayne Huff
gradually moved him closer to the
leaders and got to the front in the
last few strides. Little Risk wore
down Aerial Bomb and Great Albert,
then weakened at the end.
Cinderella Colt Beaten.
John Greener's story book colt,
Clarksvllle, purchased as a sucking
on a Missouri farm after which he
was named, failed miserably in the
role of a 65-cents-to the-dollar IA
vorite in the third race.
Whereas the son of Hecla had
won his last start from a smart field
while wearing blinkers, he ran with
out them today and barely saved
second money as he trailed the long
shot Tamil by 2 lengths. Aljack
lost the place by a head.
Tamil led by daylight all the way
and returned $3.50. Clarksville,
well up from the start, tired at the
end, but managed to stick it out in
lIOIlt OF AlJdcR.
The first race, a dash for juvenile
colts and geldings, went to the good
thing" Albatross, a newcomer from
the Coldstream Stable, which was
backed down to even money in the
field of seven.
Opening up safe lead in quick
order, the gelded son of Mate regis
tered by two lengths in :33A.
Methodical was easily second, three
lengths clear of Notes.
Stable, with Conn McCreary in
the saddle, made it two straight
when she won the second race by
length, paying $500 for 50. The
mare came from last place in the
field of IL. Hillblond also closed
gamely to finish in the runner-up
position, three lengths before White
Front.

Halifax Talks With Hull,
Says They See Alike
Earlier Story on Page A-1.l
BY GARNETT ID. HORNER.

The United States can help Great
Britain by increasing production and
"mobilizing your great industrial re-
sources and translating that into
vital supplies" Viscount Halifax,
new British Ambassador, declared
today after he had conferred with
Secretary of State Hull for more
than an hour.
Lord Hahfa:., talking with re-
porters at the State Department,
added that he and the Secretary
"see things very much alike" He
said their talk covered the inter-
national situation generally.
The new Ambassador expressed
confidence that England will sur
vive the hard time" expected this
spring and added that the quicker
vital supplies from this country
reach England the more valuable
they will be.
Il think it is clear" the new AM
bassador added, that Hitler is max
ing desperate effort to intensity
his sea blockade by submarines and
other ways. This means a severe
strain on our ships, our navy and
our aircraft"
Expects Eventual Victory.
1.-THE quicker you can give help"
he emphasized, the more valuable
it is
Expressing his conviction that Hit
Ter had had his best chance to win
the war last June after the collapse
of France, land did not cash in on
it quickly" and would never have
such chance again, Lord Halifax
said he had no doubts about eventual
British success.
"You needn't be in any doubt" he
said, that the people in England
are in good heart, great heart.
IF the Germans thought that
they could upset British spirit by
bombing London they made as big
mistake as they did in the bonn
bardment of Paris during the last
war"
The Ambassador said he realized
that I'VE are going to have a hard
time" and that England was under
no delusion about German strength
or plans Hitler may be making" in
expressing his conviction that those
plans would be overthrown.
First Official Visit.
The call of Lord Halifax on Sec
retary Hull was his first official
visit in washington after his pre-
cedent-shattering greeting by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on his arrival of
Annapolis yesterday aboard the new
British battleship, King George v.
The battleship left Annapolis to-
day, its destination unknown. Under
international law a belligerent ship
is allowed to stay only "a hours in
neutral port.
Expressing his appreciation of
the Presidents action on greeting
him, Lord Halifax said he was sure
the significance of the action would
be appreciated in his country.
He presented copies of his letters
Of credence as the representative
in Washington of King George vi
to Secretary Hull, but it remained
uncertain whether the usual formal

Lines South African freighter Algic
docked today after a three-month
voyage during which she sighted
four submarines and "a large white
surface vessel" 900 miles off the coast
of South Africa.

iotilla, sighted December 80 as
"specks on the horizon, proceeding
toward Capetown" had been made
out by officers, but that it had been
impossible to determine their ma

Three Federal agents boarded the

Earlier story on Page A-1.)

William c. Bullitt, former Ambas-
sador to France, declared this after
noon that "the German propaganda
machine" was responsible for re-
ports that he had made statements
abroad that the United States would
come into the war.
He made that statement before
the House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee while testifying in support of
the administrations lease-lend bill
to aid Britain.
In so testifying, Mr. Bullitt said
invasion Of the Western Hemisphere
would be almost certain" if the
British Navy were destroyed and a
"totalltarian" power gained control
OF either the Atlantic or Pacific be-
fore the United States two-ocean
feet is ready.
Later, in response to questions by
Representative Rogers, Republican,
OF Massachusetts,, the witness said
he had always been of the opinion
that the United States would stay
out OF this war if it possibly could
and ! so informed every Prime Min
lister of France while I was Am
bassador."
Challenges Lindbergh's Stand.
Chairman Bloom interrupted and
said that as long as Mrs. Rogers
had raised the question, the former
Ambassador was at liberty to take
all the time he needed and 90 to
1aYcrf1c hn -
country the facts.
Earlier in his testimony, Mr.. Bull
lit said British victory can be won
II England has time to gain su-
premacy in the air In this belief
he challenged contention of Col.
Charles H. Lindbergh. who told the
committee he saw no hope of Great
Britain carrying the war across the
Channel to drive the Germans out
of France, even with American help.
Representative Vorys, Republican,
of Ohio asked him how England
could win, in view of the military
disparity of 100000 against g..
100000
Mr.. Bullitt replied that if England
gained air supremacy the German
people would not hold up under
heavy bombing, the way the British
have. He pointed out there are
large groups in Germany who are
not in sympathy with Hitler's effort
at world conquest, but who cannot
express themselves. Under heavy
bombing, he said, internal collapse
would occur in Germany. In that
way, he said, Great Britain can win
without involvement of American
man power.
Gen. Organ Goes on Stand.
Mr.. Bullitt completed his testi-
mony early in the afternoon and
was followed to the stand by Mai.
Gen. John F. Organ, a New York
lawyer who said he would favor this
country entering the war on the side
OF Britain unless I found opinion
