Representative Offers
Bill to Fine or Jail
Those Doing So
Earlier Story m Pare Ally

Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
TaxicabS operated by Federal or
District employees seeking to earn
extra money constitute a danger"
to the public, it was charged in the
House late today by Representative
Hoffman, Republican, of Michigan.
At the same time, he introduced a
bill to prohibit any Federal or Dis
trict worker from driving a cab,
under penalty Of maximum fine of
$500 and 80 days in jail. He said he
had information showing that rs
Federal or District employees are
driving cabs after regular working
hours.
Representative Hoffman said news
papers already had called attention
to the appalling" increase in traffic
deaths since January / because of
the negligent operation of motor
vehicles, and declared the practice
OF issuing permits to Federal and
District workers to drive cabs after
regular working hours "endangers
the safety of the public"
He added that "at least two" of
the three members of the Board on
Revocation and Review of Hackers
Identification Licenses have en-
deavored to stop the practice, "but
the Board of Commissioners of the
District has on several occasions
caused a license to be issued after
the Hackers Bureau had rejected
the application.
"All realize that the driving O.: a
motor vehicle in the traffic Of Wash
lngton requires full possession Of
the faculties, good judgment and a
high degree of skill" Mr.. Hoffman
told the House. 1T matters little
what skill may be possessed by a
driver or how good his judgment If
his sense have been dulled his body
fatigued by work prior to the
driving.
1T is difficult to understand how
a District or Federal employe can
work at his regular job six or eight
hours or more per day, then when
the time comes for him to relax,
take on the extremely difficult,
nerve-racking job of driving a taxi
or motor vehicle through the streets
of Washington"

for the President, and the $36,000,-
600 which will be available on July
!, l94l, for the payment of obliga-
tionS incurred under authority al
ready provided will make up this
amount"
In further explanation of the pro-
gram, the Presid mt added:
Such a program Of emergency
shipbuilding should be entirely dis
tinct from the long-range construc-
ton program with which the United
States Maritime Commission is pro-
ceeding under the 1886 Merchant
Marine Act, and interference with
that program, as we'll as interfer-
ence with the naval construction
program, must be avoided. Addi-
tional shipWays and other necessary
shipyard facilities for the building
of these emergency cargo ships
should, therefore, be provided, so
far as necessary, specifically for that
purpose in the simplest possible
manner and in the shortest possible
time.
Title to such special facilities
should in most instances vest in the
Government, but the managerial
abilities of private contractors must
be utilized to the utmost in the con-
struction of facilities and ships.
OF Single Simple Design.
"By making use of the experience
and administrative facilities of the
Maritime Commission and by cloth
ing that agency with appropriate
authority, the contemplated emer-
gency program can be handled most
effectively and expeditiously and
without the creation OF any new or
special governmental agency"
In his original press conference
announcement of the program, the
President said that the ships would
be of a single design, indicating
there would be complete absence OF
all but most utilitarian features.
Chairman Emory S. Land of the
Maritime Commission conferred with
the President at the White House a
few days ago, telling reporters as he
left that negotiations already were
under way to acquire sites for new
shipyards. He declined at that time
to reveal the location of any of these
proposed yards.

GLASGOW, Scotland, Jan. I6-
Air Minister Sir Archibald Sinclair
told a Glasgow public meeting to-
night that Fascism is doomed" and
that Italy is lin deadly peril of COM
plete Nazi domination"
He declared there would be no
relaxation of the British war effort
until the power of Adolf Hitler and
Hermann Wilhelm Goering and all
those evil men who now rule Ger
many is finally and utterly de-
stroyed.'
Saying Britain would not be
Hitler's next victim" Sir Archibald
asserted Italy had been brought to
"the edge of destruction by the
infatuated ambition" of Premier
Mussolini.
Assails Duce's Policy.
Mussolini's policy led Italy into
disaster and impoverishment," t." the
Air Minister said, adding that it is
hoped that Ethiopia will not have
long to wait to regain her in
dependence.
"Friends of Italy must hope that
the strong italian forces will break
the grip of the Fascist bosses before
they drag Italy down with them into
German slavery and ruin," Sir Arch
ibald said.
He said British victories in Egypt
and Libya were mainly army sue
cesses, but show the pattern OF
close. smooth working cooperation"
among the army, navy ana air
force.
Tabulati0n of Losses.
Sir Archibald gave this tabulat1on
of planes lost by both sides thus
far in the Mediterranean conflict
by fronts:
Libvan-2O5 Italian go in the air
and l15 aground. II British.
Greek-56 Italian, 19 British.
Malta-42 Italian, 25 British.
He also disclosed that Britain had
given Greece some" aircraft to be
flown by Greek pilots.
He asserted that the R. A. F.
entered 1941 stronger than ever
before in men and machines" and
that efforts to solve the problem OF
night raids on Britain had mot gone
altogether unrewarded."
mo decisive result can be ex-
pected Immediately" he said, but as
we gain experience and are able to
hand it on to an increasing number
of pilots, crew and workers OF all
kinds in this field. we can hope to
inflict on night bombers rate of
casualties which will gradually in
crease and at length become suffl-
ciently high to be a substantial
deterrent ="
Cites U. S. Measure.
Turning to aid from the United
States. he said that IF Hitler and
his German dupes dare raise their
ewes they will see the writing upon
the wall of Congress-the aid to
Britain bill"
But he said Britain would have to
~pass through many dangers" be-
fore American aid becomes fully
effective, and asserted Britain has
some surprises" in store for the
Nazis. Britons themselves must be
prepared for surprises and disap-
pointments, he said.
"We shall be assailed from the
sky, from under the sea and per-
haps by land" Sir Archibald said.
"We can afford to relax not one sin
