COP Finances Looking Up
Inside Dope Ts That Joe Pew and Ernest Weir
 Have Come to the Rescue.
Rx pREW PEARsoN ana RoBERT 5. ALLEN.

ords of bitter and Martin, who head the two COP Committees, are incon- trovertible. Both have followed the America First line in voting on for eign policy measures.
 What the antis are asking is whether Pew and Weir are going to put up the money to take the Re- publican party, under the isolation ist leadership of Martin and Ditter, into the America First camp in next years election campaign; or whether the Pew-W Weir-M -Martin-Ditter strate- gy is to try to duck the foreign is- sue entirely and campaign on other questions.
 Whatever the undercover plan, 1t is due for airing at the National Committee pow-wow called by Joe Martin next month. Either alterna. tive will encounter militant resist ance. Powerful clements within the COP are determined that the Re- publican Party shall not be conn., mitted either to isolationism or to ducking the foreign issue. So the January meeting will see Q lot of heavy battling.
 NOTE:--Now in the midwest. Martin is sounding out sentiment of party leaders on campaign policy. One of those he is conferring with is Ali Landon, who insiders say is be- coming much concerned over the America First label which Republi- can members of Congress are hang ing on the party. x

Washington, Dec. e.-The bank account of the Republican national committee continues to be as bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard, but the money situation appears to be looking up for the Republican con- gresSaonal campaign committee, This Is the organization which pro- vides funds for COP candidates rurl- ming for election to the House Of Representatives.
 Inside word is that the boys who have quietly undertaken to fatten the campaign committees lean war chest are Pennsylvania oil million aire Joe Pew and Pennsylvania steel millionaire Ernest Weir.
 To National Chairman Joe Mar tin and Representative J. w. Dttter of Pennsylvania, head of the cam paign committee, this is the best kind of good news, for Pew and Weir have been very generous con- tributors in the past. After the 1886 debacle, Pew, almost single handed, took the national commit tee out of the red. Also he had been the chief financial mainStay of Pennsylvania COP in recent years. Weir has been a good second in donations.
 But the jubilation of Martin and Ditter is not general in inner Re- publican circles. Other COP chiefs are privately asking what the pew- Weir development means regarding the party's stand on the interna- tional Issue in next years crucial state and congressional elections.
 This question will 0vershadow all others. It win be the decisive bat- tlegTOund of the campaign. The Democrats will wage their fight aquarely on the Roosevelt defense and foreign policy record. But the Republicans are h0tly at odds among themselves. Hense. what the anti- lsolatlonlsk group wants to know Ia to which nide Pew and Weir are c0n- trihulimg their money.

 Ryan's statement indicated that patroiing naval craft first detected tho approaching planes, rather than the aircraft warning service.
 This was borne out in Q statement Issued by Mayor Rossl. He said he was first informed by the navy ir- telligence oficer at Treasure Island that unidentified airplanes were ap. preaching.
 Angry Mob In Seattle
 Seattle, Dec. 0.--(Up)-A mob of 5000 roamed the downtown business district early today, throwing cans and bottles through windows of stores that failed to observe Q black out ordered throughout the Pacific Northwest.
 Police broke up the demonstra- tions after an hour and c half. Dam. ago reached many thousands of dollars" authorities estimated.
 Six persons, ono 6 woman, were held on open charges. Four persons were, injured by flying glass. One was hospltalized.
 Merchants were called to their stores but by the time they arrived the mob had moved on. Police said l4 firms suffered damage.
 One business block was filtered with broken glass from our stores.
 Police said 1t was their worst night since the fire which destroyed the city in l8ee.
 As the blackout went Into effect, soldiers, police and home defense units patroiled tho street. They were unable to control the mob, however, until they threatened to turn fire hoses on the men end women.
 Shouts of turn them out" and "this is warl" arose from the crowd as it moved from one illuminated store to another.
 The area through which the mob moved covered about ib blocks. Po- lice did not report any footing.
 Police were aided by sailors from c British battleshlp. They used cars equipped with loud speakers in try- ing to quiet the men and women, but oil persuasion and threats failed lin. til they Announced fire hoses would be used.
 Attacks Suicidal
 Washington, Dec. 0.-(UP)-Nav. al experts admitted today the pos- sIbliity of japaneBe air attacks on San Francisco, Los Angeles and oth- CT Pacific coast cities but said they would be suicidal for the fleet and air units involved.
 The chief objective of any such attack, it was said, would be to lows CT morale. Navy officials believed 1t would more likely have the op- posite effect.
 Japanese planes. based on an air. craft carrier might make sInall-scale attacks along the coast before being brought into the cross-ilre of United States defense forces operating from the mainland and Hawaii, officials said.
 While the U. 8. navy Is searching the Pacific for Japanese fleet units, naval experts agreed that JapanS two immediate obiectives appeared to be to keep American warships and planes scattered over Q wide area, and to prevent tho bombing of Tokyo and industrial centers.
 Tn support of the first conclusion, navy sources pointed to the Japa. nese bombings of widely scattered American areas, rather Nan Q con- centrated move against Q single ob. jcctive. These sources believe Japan's scattered operations may Do Q smoke screen for Q major operation.
