Henderson 10 Be Witness
On Rent Control Measure

Chairman Randolph of the
House District Committee said to-
day he expects Leon Henderson,
price control administrator of the
Office of Emergency Management,
to appear as a witness some time
next week at resumed hearing on
rent control in the District. Mr..
Henderson is expected to discuss the
draft of a rent-control bill favored
by his Office.
In preparation for this hearing
Mr.. Randolph had a conference to-
day with a committee from Mr..
Henderson's office headed by Joseph
P. Tufts, chief of the rent section.
They suggested it might be desirable
to simplify the language and pro-
cedure in the Randolph bill and as
sured him that they found much
of merit" in his measure.
In letter from Mr.. Henderson to
Chairman Randolph the price con-
troll chief suggested that it might
be a good thing for Congress to con-
slider legislation which would make
permissive Federal rent control in
defense areas.

Against Sabotage Fires
By the Associated Press

TORONTO, May 17.-David P
Goodwin of the United States Forest
Service, told the National Fire Pro-
lection Association Convention here
yesterday that forest fires undoubt-
edly would be started as a part of
any sabotage campaign and that the
forests of this continent are vulner-
able to attacks from the air.
I'm dry, windy times" he said,
"a small fleet of planes, loaded with
small incendiary bombs, could start
thousands of fast-running fires in
a single night in one or a dozen
States"
Mr. Goodwin said soldiers often
are called to fight forest fires and
other volunteers would be taken
from work either directly or in
directly connected with national
defense. He said forest fires in New
England and Middle Atlantic States
last month resulted not only in great
property damage but also expend-
iture of about 100000 man hours
on the part of fire fighters.

Fertile Field Seen South.
Leaders of the industry are con-
vinced that the brightest future
prospect for United States aviation
lies in Latin America, where, because
OF topography and other causes,
comprehensive land transportation
networks have not been provided.
Aviation there will make possible
the establishment of an efficient
transportation system and the de-
velopnent of now dormant re-
sources, 1t was pointed out.
If the United States aviation in
dustry is not prepared to meet this
challenge, then it may be considered
certain that industries of other sur
viving air powers will do so, avia-
ton leaders believe. Both Germany
and Italy have been carrying on
intensive activities In the South
American aviation field despite
their preoccupation in Europe, ap-
pareptly in hope of establishing
themselves there as the predomina-
ting air power after the war.

Postwar Aviation S
Turn 10 Peaceful
Uses Studied
Stiff Competition Seen
For U. S. to Meet in
Every Phose
BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON.

To prevent collapse of the tremen-
dous aircraft manufacturing indus
try now being built up in the United
States following the present de-
fense emergency, immediate steps
must be taken toward development
of American domestic and foreign
air transport services, private flying
and vigorous export trade which
can compete with the inflated pro-
duction establishments of other air
powers.
These are among the conclusions
reached by delegates to the third
annual aircraft export conference
sponsored by the Aeronautical
Chamber of Commerce, which has
just closed here after two days Of
deliberations.
Although the chief problems con-
sidered by the conference had to
do with finding means of co-opera-
ton on the part of the industry
with the defense efforts of the
United States and Allied govern
ments, the ground work was laid
for planning for postwar aviation
exports on a larger scale than ever
before in American history as an
essential to future air security of
the Nation and the hemisphere.
At Work on Plans.
With the urgent requirements of
an uncertain future In mind, leaders
of the aircraft industry already are
working on plans for the post
emergency period which. in its own
way, may be as critical for America
as is the present emergency.

In OPEN letter
l Mrs. EmmOns Blaine
to the Congress of tt
on deCL
My dear tellow citizens:
am wanting to share with
you letter which | have sent to each
member of the Congress of the United
States for such interest as it may have
for you in our common great crisis.
"To the Congress Of the Unitsd States:
"On the question of the relation of the United
States to the war now in the world have been
feeling the impact of opinions expressed in our
country so variousy from the extreme points
of the isolationists to the recently formed
Committee to Fight for Freedom. feel thank
full that each can freely express his thought
with no let or hndrance.
Il have not seen clearly what our ultimate
course should be. The all-aid to Britain has
been so sure as to be almost satisfying.
Il feel horror in the facts of war. feel greater
horror that war can still be the process for
decisions between men.
"Out of the welter of facts and of thoughts
there now comes to me clearly the conviction
that the United States should now declare war
against what is being done and attempted by
the forces of aggression in the world.
This to array the United States in the strug-
gle on the side where the United States belongs;
and to add the full force of the United States
to help those free peoples who are now holding
the line of freedom.
There are two fundamental principles at issue
today. One is freedom or prevention of the
domination of men by men. The other is truth;
or the prevention of the triumph of falsehood.
"These two principles constitute the founda-
ton on which human society can be built. Their
loss would undermine the possibility of the
continuation and construction of the human
society we have seen. and worked for.
"In the efforts of the aggressors many units
of free society have been undermined. They are
proceeding to carry on their process as far as
possible on the earth.

eve are the heirs of these qualities: initiative,
independence, determination, courage. Our in
stitutions are the outgrowth of these qualities.
''We are the heirs of these objectives:
Freedom for all;
Opportunity for all;
Education for all;
Protection for all.
These qualities and these objectives are being
attacked.
ct is not the land we live on; it is the life
we live on it that matters. This life and the
similar life of others is being attacked. We are
being attacked.
eve are an able people We can accomplish
great things. When we put our hands to a plow
we do not turn back. We should now take our
full responsibility.
For the instantaneous, beneficial effect for
the world, in this course, would rather risk
the present effects of our former delays than
the future effect of longer waiting for our COM
plete action.
1T has become clear to me that we should
wait no longer but should declare war at once
against those countries who have followed their
rulers in the subjugaton of free countries by
force; and against those rulers who have be- =.
trayed the world by their falsehoods
'And that it should be stated that it is against
the extension of these practices that we are
declaring war.
"And that it should be understood with the
other democracies that in the arrangements
after the war the United States has part.
Il put this conviction which has come to me
before everyone freely for whatever it may mean
to each one and for such action in our nation,
for our nation and for the world as may be
the judgment of the majority of our people.
In the high purpose of defending freedom and
truth on this earth, and in the faith that light
will be given for the steps to take, we should
now declare war on those who are attacking
our principles and let come what must.
"In the wealth of our heritage of principle
may our contribution in this generation be
worthy of our great past"
