Van Nuys Rdps
Stimson Attack
On Sen. Wheeler

WA S HIN ct N, July rs
Secretary of War Stimson was
sharply criticized today by Sena-
tor Van Mugs CD of Indiana.
chairman of the Senate judiciary
committee for asserting that the
activities of Senator Burton X.
Wheeler Cd of Montana, come
very near the line of subversive
activities-if not treason"
Stimson charged that Wheeler
had distributed circulars 10 army
officers and enlisted men urging
them to write TO President Roose-
welt not 10 enter the war Stim-
son termed such action by the
Montanan as being close TO
Sabotage"
CALLS STIMSON UNFAIR
Things would come 20
pretty pass in this country II
the right of free speech and ex-
preston are taken away from
us by the war department." Van
Mugs declared The Indiana
senator has some times opposed
the administrations foreign
policy, but voted for the lease
lend bill.
II think IL was very unfair
for cabinet officer 10 accuse
Senator wheeler or near trea-
son." Van Nuys continued. ITO
my mind. there Is no one any
more patriotic In the senate
than Senator Wheeler. One may
not always agree with him, but
at the same time one cannot
question his integrity and sin
certify.
As I understand IL, Senator
Wheeler had all the constitu-
tiOnal authority necessary To !
mall the cards TO individual \
citizens. As 1 understand II they
were not sent To army camps"
WHEELER's ANSWER
Wheeler. answering Stimsons
taeeHSattoft, Sdrd tfrdt the cards,
lalthough billed 10 him, were paid
for by the America First Commit
tee He SAID that none know
Iingly" had been sent 10 army men
and that the mailing list was COM

Zone can probably excuse Sec
rotary of War Stimson on the
ground of his age and in

able 10 carry on the duties OF

D. {. 10 Face Shortage
Of Milk Soon, Says
Dairymen' S Leader
Roin Needed Quickly
As Drought Hits Nearly
All of Eustern U. S.

A spokesman for most of the
Maryland and Virginia farmers who
supply milk for the washington
area said today the city may have
a milk shortage soon if the drought
continues.
B. B. Derrick, secretary y-treasurer
Of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Milk Pro-
ducers' Association, declared a
shortage is threatened not only in
this section, but in almost the en-
tire area east Of the Mississippi
because of the prolonged dry spell.
THE producers here, are getting
by now" he said, but unless we get
rain-and lots of it-pretty soon,
the situation may become serious" "
He said that pastures are gone
and streams have been dried up as
result of the severe drought.
Mr.. Derrick added that some
steps" are being taken to avert a
shortage, but he declined to elabo-
rate on this statement.
c. I. Dunn, Federal milk market
ing administrator for the Washing
ton marketing area, expressed fear
yesterday that continuation of the
long dry spell might lead to an acute
scarcity of milk, He said produc-
ton is off largely because of the
drying up of streams.
Mr.. Dunn said the drought extends
from Maine to Florida and from the
Atlantic to the Mississippi River,
and he explained that production is
beginning to decrease" in the
affected areas because of the dry
weather.

too small, is considered by many
sources to weigh more heavily with
the British than the chance that
invasion troops might be beaten
by the Germans.
Defenses Now Rest on Rivers.
London newspaper commentators
agreed that Hitler apparently was
sure of success because he asso-
ciated himself personally with this
offensive more than with any other.
The military, critic of the News
Chronicle said it appeared Moscow
defenses now would rest on rivers,
including the Volga, Gzhatsk and
Ugra, flowing through Rzhev,
Gzhatsk and Kaluga. Rshev is on
the Volga, 135 miles northwest of
Moscow; Gzhatsk and Kaluga are
100 miles west and southwest, re-
spectively, of the capital.
From Kaluga the defense zone
perhaps would run southwark east
of the River Okla toward Tula, 100
miles south of Moscow and the same
distance northeast of Orel. which
the Russians have evacuated.
An editorial in the Evening Stand
ard, another of Lord Beaverbrooks
newspapers, continued the somber
note of warning sounded by the
Express.
"The situation in Russia is grave
=" it said, but this is no sud-
den crisis. The situation in
Russia has been grave. with issues
of momentous peril for all people
of the. British nation. ever since the
day of Hitler's assault on his east
ern neighbor"
Russia" it added. must be sus-
tanned at all hazards. II

lntegration
Of US-Canadian
Forces Proposed

aCHICAGO.July 11-(R-The
strategic interrogation of Canada
and the United States compels q
joint planning of military and
naval resources, Prof. Frank
Scott of McGill University, Mon
treal, asserted today.
"Strategically, Canada is and
must be an integral part of
North American, If not of hem
ispheric, Defense" he added.
1.-THE very fact that the Cana
dian-American boundary Is un-
defended makes the defense Of
Canada's coast essential to Unit
ed States security, in order that
her flanks may not be turned by
an invader.
Prof. SCOTS remarks were
made in q prepared lecture for
the Harris Institute at the Uni
versity of Chicago where more
than so experts on inter-Ameri-
can affairs are discussing the po-
litical and economic implications
of inter-Amercan solidarity.
Prof. Scott cited the United
States acquisition of bases on
Newfoundland and Greenland,
and the building of Canadian air
bases for q, u. S.-Alaska air
route as evidence of the friend
ly pincer movement" being ap-
piled to Canada by "the long
arms of the United States"

American workmen all over the

And this, he said, is perfectly

The President made his state

ton of American bases in Ire
land or Scotland arose. Senator
Wheeler (D.-Mont.) has aid he
had information such construc-
ton was under way.
When a reporter remark :.
that there seemed to be some
substantiation from abroad for
the senatorial mentions, the
President said whatever was be-
ing done was being accomplished
either through straight purchases
by the British government or un-
der the Least Lend Act.
It was then he went on to say
he would not be surp. Used if
Americans were working for the
British all over the worl ard

False Alarms are Bane Of FBI

Nearly 10000 of these fires are
caused by explosions. That rec
ord is bad enough, and it needs
no magnification.
But in periods of national
emergency, fire reports tend to
spread like veritable blazes on a
prairie. In an east coast ship
yards fire recently, q big cloud
of smoke rose, and a double fire
alarm was sent in Immediately.
Rumor, of course, spread that
the fire was the result Of sabo-
tage. What actually happened
was that a rubber hose had
caught fire near a ventilating
shaft. The up-draft had caused
the smoke to rise in a deceptive
cloud, but that all there was to
it. Actual damage was practi-
cally nil and the cause was &C
cident, not deliberate sabotage.
Previous to that there was a
fire in Boston Navy Yard that
got sabotage buildup. What it
amounted to was that when fires
had been kindled in the destroy
er's boilers, a nearby scaffold-
ing had been ignited. Stories of
what actually happened not re-
ceiving the prominence of the

requirements of the defense
program were met.
Carter said he intended TO
spend his birthday anniversary
quietly "as any old man should. I"
He disclosed he had written m
autobiography.
He was graduated from West
Point in 1880 with one of the
highest scholastic records ever
attained there and entered the
army engineers corps.
Success followed success In
his military career. When he had
reached the rank of captain.
Carter asserted, jealous army
associates succeeded. in having
him convicted at q court martial
on trumped up charges that
there had been graft in the con-
struction of the Savannah, Ga,
harbor project, which he di-
rected.
The war department contends
that Carter's claim Is baseless,
and that legislation generating
him would create an uncertain
ty in military courts which
would permeate the service"
But Carter still insists: There
Is no evidence Of a crime in my
case. My first and last task,

son, the rumor spread.
Phi MUST SIFT
FALSE FROM TRUE

Not all these scare stories start
with fires. Considerable empha-
sis was placed on a west coast In
cident in which a loading crane
toppled over, killing two work
men. Immediately the cry of
sabotage was raised, but the in
vestigation proved that the OPP
orator had been attempting to
hoist plate, revolve the crane
cab and move the crane along
its track, all at the same time
instead of making each operation
separate. with a full stop in be-
tween as safety regulations re-
quired.
Let one of these sabotage ru-
mors get started and a wave Of
calls is sure to flood in on the
FBI offices scattered throughout
the country.
Even the normal load of de-
Tense reports coming into FIJI
headquarters every day runs in
to the hundreds. Many of the
reports are unfounded, but all
must be Investigated, as some of
the most fantastic have turned
out to be true. Experience in
sitting the false from the true Is
what counts in effective sabotage
prevention and condensation
age work.
One thing that the FIJI en-
phasizes Is that all these reports
should be handled by expert
ericed police officers, and not
by local vigilante groups.
I'm one state" says FBI Dr.
rector j. Edward Hoover, an in
duxtrial group went SO far as to
offer rewards for information
leading to the arrest and convic-
ton OF saboteurs. The spy men,
ace is not met by filling the jails
with suspects or by standing
known agents before q firing
squad. An important part Of
the work lies in watching the
suspect or actual spy. Prema-
ture action against ore foreign
agent may prevent the capture
or disruptlre of an entire ring"
COMIC RELIEF
IN SPY DRAMA
Sometimes these false spy
scares turn out with unexpected
results. The most classic ex-
ample of this was caused by pa
per photographer. Wanting to
get a picture of the throngs Of
defense workers pouring from
the gates Of a local factory at
quitting time, he requested that
the gates be kept closed until
all the force was ready to leave.

WASHINGTON, July 11-Sa-
botage and espionage today are
not confined to specific and tan
gible crimes of destruction.
Far more deadly, in fact, Is
the hysteria created by the
spreading of false rumor, COM
bined with the damaging effects
of carelessness. National de-
Tense, therefore, comprises q
good measure of keeping care
lessness under control and check
ing the spread of falsehoods that
sap morale of the civilian popu-
lation.
Take the cases of three powder
mill explosions that have hap
pened in the United States since
the war began in Europe. There
was widespread whispering and
belief that all were the work of
saboteurs.
First was the blast which de-
stroyed the United Railway Sig
nal Company plant at Wood
bridge, N. j., on Nov. IL, 1910
an explosion that took IA lives.
The company, despite contrary
reports, did not have a single
government contract. And
though the case is not considered
closed, it is creditably believed
that the blowup was entirely an
accident caused by negligence
of one or more of the workmen
who lost their lives.
GOSSIP MAKES GOOD
SCARE PROPAGANDA
Explosions in the plants Of
the Trojan Powder Company at
Allentown, Pa, were also called
accidental blasts. Only the Tro-
Jan plant had q government or
der, but the explosion here hap
pened in q section which was
not working on the government
order.
Screaming about the foreign
agents who were at work in these
plants did no good, serving only
to create hysteria.
AS an example of the wild ru-
mors which might have serious
consequences, there can be men,
toned now the famous scare
which received wide belief and
still wider distribution, to the
effect that in one shipyard in
Maine there were 81 fire ex-
tinguishers found to contain Gas;
oline. There was no truth
whatever to this one, but foreign
agents could not have done q
better Job Of scare propaganda
than was set In motion her, by
careless gossip.
