Former U. s. Senator Gib= son Named Chairman of
 Defense Committee

Montpelier, Vt, Jan. 10.-(UP)- Former U. s. Sen. Ernest w. Gibson, named chairman of the Committee to defend America by Aiding the AL lies, believes i've must be prepared to sacrifice some of the things we hold most dear" to help nations struggling against aggression.
 Gibson, in a statement issued through friend, said last night he had not been notified formally of his election and that he had not enough notice to give a detailed &C., count of his plans.
 'tAt present I am subject to call for service with the armed forces of this country" he said, but pend ing my induction am glad to un- dertake this work, the importance of which can not be overestimated." <"
 He beleived it was to the "in- terests of all of us to supply all possible material aid to Britain, Greece and China immediately and without delay"
 This is no time for faint heart or divided royalties. My father taught me that wherever free man struggles it is our duty to aid him To do this we must be prepared to sacrifice our luxuries and our money"
 Gibson said there must be no truce with thieves and assassins. 1" He concluded:
 "The Nazis have chosen the swas- tika for their symbol-that twist ed emblem of greed and hate; let us pledge our fealty to that ancien symbol of compassion and love-the Cross of Calvary"

District Attorney Sullivan of New York Claims
 Names May Be Forged

New York, Jan. 10-UP)-District Attorney Charles P. Sullivan o1 Queens county today investigated complaints by six persons that their names had been signed without au- thorization to telegram sent to President Roosevelt by Verne Mar shall, chairman of the No Foreign War Committee, urging MT. Roose- welt not to "lend or give away the defenses of the nation"
 Sullivan invited the complainants to his office ito determine if crime has been committed" he said his preliminary information indicated there might be a basis for a forgery charge. Two complainants pressing for investigation were Charles F Hughes, stevedore contractor who does occasional work for the govern ment, and David R. Keefe, Demo- cratic election district captain who said he was 100 per cent for Bri- tain and MT. Roosevelt"
 In the radio debate last night Marshall contended that the defeat of Adolf Hitler was not essential to the United States, and Acheson ar gued that it was. The debate was broadcast from town hall before an audience of 1,500, whose yelling once caused Marshall to exclaim: If any one here says I am not true and loyal American let him come up here and say it on the platform. am 20 pounds underweight and I do not care how much he weighs"
 Acheson said negotiated peace would mean an ultimate Hitler vic tory at a minimum cost to Hitler"
 "To negotiate with Hitler is to be- tray the future" he said. "A victory means that Hitler would absorb his feeble ally, Mussolini, and with Japan, would control Europe, Africa and Asia. Russia would present nc problem to them. The Axis navies with the French fleet are nearly double ours. The fate of the British fleet, in the event of German vic- tory, is beyond prediction"
