THREE:
Plane Strikes

The national mediation board was
hard at work trying to settle three
strikes that had threatened impor-
tant airplane factories, one of which
had three-quarters of billion dol
lars in orders.
At the Consolidated plant in San
Diego it was the A. F. of L. machin-
lists who had voted to reject COM
pany offer of scent hourly blanket
wage increase, and stood pat on its
own percentage demands. The
workers were insisting that the
company meet a Decent increase
given by other large airplane plants
in southern California.
It was at Buffalo, N. Y, Curtiss-
Wright dual plants that the workers
had threatened a strike unless the
NLRB ruled within 10 days on the
employees demand for labor cleo
ton.
And at Bendix, N. j., the U.A.W.
of the CLIO. had authorized strike
at the accessories plant of Air As
sociates, Inc, listing eight charges
against the company.

NEW IMPRESSIONS

Washington newsmen, after see
ing Roosevelt twice week for eight
years, have only dull impressions
when they walk into press confer
ence. A fresh impression comes
from Jack Moffitt, ace Hollywood
reporter, who saw the President the
other day for the first time.
'There was charm in the setting"
Moffitt said. ''The mementoes on
his desk indicate man Of imagina-
ton who can extract pleasant MEM
cries from past experiences :,
He costumes well. Hoover's choker
collar became a symbol of Tory
America. Coolidge dressed like
small town banker. Roosevelt
avoids the foppish, but hits GER
tain suburban ease in his dress
which sells quickly to the public.
'He was impressive in handling
himself. There was ease and frank
ness, and quickness in response
to questions. He was at all times
master of the interview.
81 was struck by his paleness and
the lines in his face, contradicting
the smirk I've seen in a thousand
cartoons. If I were casting di-
rector, looking for an actor for this
part, I'd cast him as man who is
working hard under great strain"

POLICY:
Gains Support

Faced with the grimmer picture
of European war, and a realization
through Russia's crisis that Amer
lean aid would have to be consid-
cradle if the Axis were finally to be
defeated, and the democracies win
the victory, one notable change in
Washington sentiment was a grow
ing support for the White House for
eign policy.
It was evident in the pre-action
discussion of the repeal of the Neu-
trality act, President Roosevelt's
latest request anent his policy.
Even from circles most strongly
isolationist, and most vigorously
opposed to the President it was con-
ceded that the act would be re-
pealed, perhaps within two months.
The cohesion of foes of the Presi-
ident's policy was becoming less
firm. Senator LaFollette, for in
stance, had urged all isolationists,
non-interventionists to grid for the
battle of ballots this fall, and to
make the foreign policy their issue.
Senator Taft, at the same time,
had, urged campaigners and voters
in the congressional primaries to
leave the foreign policy out of the
picture. He said: gg
congressional votes on the ques-
ton have cut across party lines,
and there is no reason for the party
to make an issue of foreign policy"
Wendell Willkie, storm center of
both of these statements, saw the
first as an acceptance Of his chal-
lenge to the isolationists to meet
interventionist candidates he would
put in the field, and the second as
an unwillingness on the part of a
Republican leader to meet the issue.

! SPIES:
Plane Secrets

That Nazi Germany was highly
interested in American secrets of
plane production was seen in the
evidence in the spy trial in New
York that many Of the 16 persons on
trial were ordered by Berlin to get
airplane information.
The testimony had been that Ed
mund c. Heine, former employee of
two large automobile plants, had
collected and prepared for trans
mission to Berlin technical infor-
nation on U. S. plane manufacture.
Included in his data were details
of the construction of Bell Airacobra
planes, the chief u. S. fighter; the
Consolidated B-24 bomber; the Mar
tin bombers, and the Fairchild
trainers.

Patterson Lays Mistakes
In Camps 10 Lack Of Funds

Declaring the United States Army
is now "the best housed army in the
world" Undersecretary of War Pat
terson, commenting today on the
Truman committees criticism of
waste in camp construction, replied
that some of the mistakes would
undoubtedly have been avoided if
Congress had made funds available
for planning and surveying.
However" he added, the military
objective of providing troop housing
was accomplished with remarkable
speed and dispatch in spite of win
ter weather and labor and material
shortages and almost insurmount-
able difficulties. The accommoda-
tions were ready before the time
set for troop arrival and no ques-
ton is raised but what the canton
ments afforded the facilities for
troop housing and training"
Mr.. Patterson pointed out in a
prepared statement that the press
ing task" for quickly providing
housing for 100000 soldiers was
suddenly thrust" upon the War De-
partment last September. Some of
the mistakes complained about in
the Truman report would not have
occurred, he said, if the War De-
partment had been given funds and
personnel at an earlier period, with
which to make detailed plans and
site surveys in advance.

Arlington Board Sets
Feb. | as DeadIine
For zoning Plan
J. L. Crane, Jr., Named
Consultont to County
Officials in Charge

Steps to speed completion of
master zoning plan for Arlington
County, were taken by the County
Board today, when it voted to retain
Jacob L. Crane, jr, planning and
zoning consultant, to work with the
County Planning Department.
Mr.. Crane, who will participate
in the project with his staff, ex-
poets to have the master zoning
plan completed by February at the
latest. He is assistant co-ordinator
of the Defense Housing Committee,
consultant to the Chicago Planning
Commission and delegate to the
Inter-American Congress of Munich
palities, which will meet in Santiago,
Chile, next month.
BY setting February l as the dead
line, the board expects to complete a
project which has long been awaited
by county residents and planning
officials of Virginia and the District
of Columbia.
An appropriation of s2,400 was
authorized today to pay Mr.. Crane
and his staff for the consultations
in which they will participate.
Mr.. Cranes appointment was rec
commended by County Manager
Frank C. Hanrahan and the County
Planning Commission, which met
last night.
In letter to Mr.. Hanrahan. the
planning consultant enumerated
some of the problems which have
yet to be met before the master
plan is evolved.
Also listed among the important
features of the study is a survey of
population growth matched against
the population capacity of the
county and what part of the metro
politan population it should and can
accommodate Mr.. Crane will fur
ther consider the conflicting desires
and ambitions represented by single
family residence and apartment
projects. Zoning adjustments along
the county boundaries, including a
possible revision of some boundaries,
such as Falls Church, must also be
studied.
Mr.. Crane said that the work al
ready done by County Planning
Engineer Frank L. Dieter makes it
possible for the remaining work 20
be completed rapidly.

a letter to the Senate Subcommittee
on Deficiency Appropriations, which
on Tuesday reported favorably the

The letter, signed by Leon Chate-

This chapter, in the past, has

the ever-increasing concentration OF

Morgenthau Urges
High Security Tax

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau today advocated increasing
social security taxes for the double
purpose of preventing initiation dur
ing the emergency and cushioning
readjustments later.
The Secretary told a press confer
ence the proposal was part of the
suggestions he intended to give con-
greSsional committees studying
price-control legislation and other
anti-inflation measures.
He said he had no details in mind,
especially as to how much the tax
ought to be increased AT present.
employees and employers are taxed at
the rate of l per cent each on the
amount of pay rolls. In informal
discussions among officials previ-
ously, the figure of per cent each
has been suggested.
Urges Separation Pay.
THAT" Mr.. Morgenthau said, "is
the direction We should be moving
in. I prefer expanding social Sc
curity TO any compulsory savings
ideas
I'VE should also move" the Secre-
tary added, in the direction of sep
aration wages so that whenever this
is over there will be accumulated TO
the credit of defense workers sew
eral weeks pay TO tide them over
when the defense industries shut
down"
He said he was also unprepared
on this proposal TO say exactly how
it would work. Many employers,
however, already have agreements
with their employees to pay them
/ specified number of weeks pay
depending on length of service
when jobs are terminated.
Would Extend System.
Mr.. Morgenthau also advocated
expanding the coverage of the old
( age pension system to cover farm
ers, domestic servants and others
not now included in the social Sc
curity system.
This is only part of a general
program of preventing imitation,
however" the Secretary cautioned.
There might have to be a lot of
other things done. but that's the di-
rection that 7 think We ought to
take"
In the last fiscal year, which
ended June 80, collections of old-age
pension taxes totaled $500, ,554 STA.
This year, with employment rising
steadily on account of the defense
program, collections are expected to
be much higher, even without any
| increase in the tax.

Eight-Part Program
Exceeds Scope Of
Wilson's S IA Points
RooseveIt-Churchi
Declaration Indicates
Triumph Of Hull Poets

The eight points for peace and
world order enunciated today by
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill go much further than
did the famous IA points which
President Woodrow Wilson outlined
to Congress January 8, 1918, almost
a year after the United States en-
tered the World War.
Eight of Mr.. Wilson's points were
concerned with the future boun-
daries of specific nations. The
Roosevelt Churchill declar ton
makes no specific references to any
particular countries.
The Wilson 14th point called for
League of Nations. The new
declaration says nothing of league,
although Sumner Welles, in his ca
pacity then as Acting Secretary OF
State, included the need for an asso-
citation of nations in his peace-plan
speech of July % at the Norwegian
Legation.
Some observers thought the vague
wording of the Roosevelt Churchill
point eight limited at new league.
This point talks of the establish
ment of wider and permanent
system of general security"
Triumph Of Hull System.
Mr.. Wilson spoke for himself and
opened the door to fierce, and some
think fatal, disagreement at the
peace conference in Versailles.
Now America and England speak
together.
America is assured a seat at the
peace conference df England wins
the war; no matter whether the
United States enters the war in a
military sense or not.
The economic paragraphs in the
declaration indicate the triumph Of
the Hull system for free flow of
international trade. But the reali-
Zation of that free flow depends
on the actions of Congress and par
liaments.
The fundamental differences in
the two declarations, of 1918 and
1941, show clearly what changes
have occurred in international is
sues during the intervening % years.
Mr.. Wilson called for open cove
nants openly arrived at-an ar
raignment of secret diplomacy.
Mr.. Churchill and Mr.. Roosevelt
had nothing to say about secret di-
plomacy. The operations of Adolf
Hitler have been based on men
dacious diplomacy, but not on secret
agreements.
= Mr.. Wilson devoted 81 words to
the question of colonial claims. The
two foremost men of the democratic
world today apparently consider
colonialism not an issue
For the leaders in the Anglo
American accord, economics is the
most vital determiner of world
peace, happiness and prosperity.
More Definite Bounds.
In these few words, in point 3,
Mr.. Wilson disposed of the economic
factors in international unrest:

The Roosevelt-C Churchill declara-
ton substitutes for so far as pos

Disarmament Is Foundation.
The Roosevelt Churchill fifth
point takes into consideration a
problem that had not jelled in the
days of 1918-the question of eco
nomic and social democracy.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill
60 far beyond Wilson in dealing with
the freedom of the seas and dis
armament. Wilson's freedom of the
seas point was his first:
Absolute freedom of navigation
upon the seas, outside territoria
uotcrS olike in neoco ond il, u,o -
except as the seas may be closed ir
whole or in part by international ac-
ton for the enforcement of interna.
tional covenants"
Internationally and simply, Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill state
Such a peace should enable al
men to traverse the high seas with.
out hindrance."
On disarmament, Mr.. Wilson sat.
sif1ed himself with this:
Adequate guarantees given anc
taken that national armaments viii
be reduced to the lowest point con.
sistent with domestic safety"
The whole foundation of the
Roosevelt Churchill declaration rests
on the need for disarmament. Point
8, dealing with that question, is the
longest paragraph in the 1941 pro.
gram.
Wilson's IA Points.
