President Roosevelt at the White

The Speaker did not disclose the

Her specific duties have not been

The Mayor, she said, had told the
President that the time had come
when everybody who could do any
work at all should do it. 1t was that
advice which decided her, she said,
to take the job.
Hers is to be no nominal title.
Mrs. Roosevelt saws she intends
really to work. She starts officially

Shooting Patrol Duty

Tomorrow, Says Knox
Secretary Discloses
Plan in Address to

BY CLAUDE A. MAHONEY.

Speaking at the American Legion

today. Secretary of the Navy Knox
set tomorrow as the date when
American naval vessels will begin ito
capture or destroy by every means
at their disposal, Axis-controlled
submarines or surface raiders" en-
countered in the water adjacent to
Iceland.
President Roosevelt had used the
phrase from now on" in his fire
side address Thursday night when
he first warned Germany and Italy
that their vessels would enter the
waters only at their own risk.
Thus, Secretary Knox evidently
set a zero hour at which time the

effect.

counter on the routes leading from
the United States to British ports"
Reviewing the Greer incident,
Secretary Knox said again that the
Greer was under torpedo attack be-
fore she unloosed depth charges
directed at the German submarine
that fired the torpedoes. But he
added: The whole issue is far toe
! broad to make the question of who
fired first of great Importance"
He took verbal slap at the Amer
lea First Committee for its statement
that 1t was more likely that the
German sub commander had told
the truth when he said the destroyer
had begun the attack.
The Secretary told the Legion
naires that a powerful national de-
fense, especially on the high seas,
is a prerequisite Of a "peace-pro-
noting, justice-loving America"
Can't Be Extemporized.
During the last half dozen years."
he said, 1T has been clear to almost
any man that a powerful feet and
a powerful air force, neither of
which can be extemporized, are
vital essentials to our national secur-
ity in time of great world turbu-
lence.
If support of such views makes
me war-monger then I am a war
monger, and have as company. I
am convinced, three out of every
four Americans"
He quoted Theodore Roosevelt, his
former commanding officer in the
Spanish-American War, as saying
that IAN unrighteous and cowardly
peace may be worse than any war;
and in the second place peace
can often be obtained only at the
cost of war"
Shipping losses in the North At
lantic were lower In August than any
month during the year, he said. fol-

Discounting so-called peace polls,
Secretary Knox asserted that If the
American people were asked today
whether or not they would fight for
their liberties "the answer would be
in an Affirmative that would shock
the confidence of even a dictator
like Hitler"
The Secretary said that by the
end of 194l the Navy would have
added to the fleet, commissioned
and ready for service, Z battleships,
aircraft carrier. 10 destroyers and
10 submarines.

Quick Tax Bill Vote
Sought as Congress

Leaders Expect Final

New Recess Talked

BY the Associated Press.
Members of Congress got back or

legislative holiday, and leader;
called for fast action on the record
breaking $500, 100000 revenue bill
The House has had a months va
cation. and almost every incoming
train and plane carried members
summoned back by the leadership
to act on the tax measure.
That legislation. carrying the
heaviest tax burden in history, was
agreed on last week by a joint con-
ference committee adjusting dif-
ferences between separate measures
passed by the Senate and House
Before the bill could be approved
finally by both chambers, however
House members of the conference
group, technically. had to obtain of
fetal authority from their chamber
to make a compromise agreement
with the Senate.
Because of a controversial Senate
amendment lowering income tax
exemptions from $4,000 to sl.500 for
married persons and from $500 to
$3.50 for single individuals, it was
expected the House would have a
roll-cau vote on the bill.
Leaders said any vote probably
would be delayed until wednesday
in order that all House members
might have time to reach Washing
ton.
There was considerable talk of
another rest period" for Congress
after the tax measure an dthe new
Lease-Lend appropriation are out
of the way.
One major issue still remaining
however, was the administration s
price, fixing legislation. The House
Banking Committee may resume
consideration of that measure this
week, but indications were that the
group was in no hurry to report a
bill to the House. Senator Barkley
said the Senate would wait for the
House to act first on price control

The ONCE of Production Man

Manufacturers will be permitted

396.S23 in December. 1910. it was
made known at a meeting of Leon
Henderson, director OF o. P. MS
Civilian Supply Division, with the
Automotive Defense Industry Ad-
visory Committee.
Together with the 26.5 per cent
slash previously ordered for August,
September, October and November,
the new curtailment means an over
all decrease of 1872 per cent in the
first five months of the model year
which began August l, 194l. Pro-
duction for this fve-month period
will be 1.0232l7 cars, compared with
l,5l0,l67 for the same period of 1910.
The December curtailment will
be heaviest against the big three

Ford-amounting to an average of
Sis per cent for these large COM
panies. The reduction is only 1873
per cent for the other companies.

to assemble a considerable number
OF cars for which parts have long
been fabricated and that Hudson

The sweeping curtailment for De-
cember was timed. o. P. M. officials
said. to coincide with an anticipated
increase in demand for automobile

items.

that production of light trucks

itary purposes, would be curtailed

OF August, September, October and
November. This means that about

tas for each company have not yet
