u. 5. FIRMS PAY AXIS POWERS
WASHINGTON.-W the senate
is preparing to enact the lendlease
bill committing this country 70 vast
OUTLAWS for Great Britain, certain
American firms are paying out hun
dreds Of dollars monthly 70 Ger
many and Italy, which funds are
being used to fight both the United
States and Britain.
This secret Axis aid is being de-
ivered in the form Of royalty pay
ments on industrial formulas, trade
marks, copyrights and patents. The
money Is paid in dollars and b de-
posted to German and Italian &C
counts in New York banks.
The justice department, which has
conducted q secret investigation,
has uncovered these interesting
facts:
l. That the royalty payments are
now running around $780, 900 .
month, of which Germany gets at
least % per cent.
2. That q considerable portion Of
the money was used by Germany
last year to buy U. S. goods for de-
livery to Latin American buyers, 10
make good on contracts that Ger
many confidently had signed after
the fall Of France but was unable
to fill, because Of the mistaken Brit
ish blockade.
3. That Nazi and Fascist agents
have drawn on the funds to finance
racial and anti-defense propaganda
in this country; also anti-American
propaganda in South America.
4. That while U. S. firms fork
over their tribute in dollars, such
royalties as Germany and Italy pay
are in the form Of blocked marks and
export Ira; that is, money that can
be spent only in Germany or Italy.
Actually, the money levy is 4 sec
ondary consideration. What really
worries the authorities is how much
vital military production information
these royalty agreements betray to
the Axis.
Since most royalties on patents are
paid according to the number of
units sold, it should be a simple
matter for the Axis to obtain de-
tailed figures on types and rate of
flow Of important materials to
the U. S. army and navy and to
Britain. Last year the justice de-
partment cracked down on Bausch
and Lomb when it discovered that
under a secret royalty agreement
the firm supplied the German licen-
sor with a detailed accounting Of
certain instruments delivered to the
navy.

rection and velocity and the amount

Similar instruments already are
in use throughout the country to
make "soundings" of the upper air.
Tiny measuring devices and radio
sets powered by dry-cell batteries

mildly, pressure and temperature

WILLKIE RATES CHURCHILL
OVER F. D.

Wendell Wlllkle went about for
the Presidents lend-lease bill, but
personally he doesn't like Mr..
Roosevelt any better than before.
Willkie made this clear to friends
following his conference at the
White House.
Winston Churchill, he indicated,
had it all over Roosevelt in ability
and personality, was much simpler
and more direct in manner"
There isn't anyone in America
quite like Churchill" Willkie said.
HE was the most congenial COM
panion I've met in very long time.
He has gay buoyancy that is in
comparable"
Willkie also told his friends that
he had absolutely no intention of
taking a job under Roosevelt.
1.-THE President hasn't offered me
anything" he said, land hope he
doesn't because III turn it down.
One thing l don't want is an ap-
pointive office. If war should come
l will enlist in the armed forces,
but I'm not taking government
job"
Willkie is still undecided what he
will do, but is leaning toward re-
turn to law. He has been offered
number of lucrative positions, one
carrying salary of sl20, 900 a year.
NEW FARM BOARD
After many years of supporting
the New Deal farm program, the
powerful Farm Bureau federation
wants to set up a new government
farm agency which it would largely
dominate.
In backstage congressional con-
versations, the farm leaders have
proposed that the AAA, the soil con-
servation service and the farm Sc
curity administration be taken away
from the department of agriculture
and be made 4 completely sepa-
rate agency. Then they want a FIVE
man board to run these important
bureaus.
Naturally, they expect to have 4
goodly representation Of members
on that board.
So far, Vice President Henry Wal
lace and Secretary Of Agriculture
Wickard are vigorously opposed. So
also il the President.

or eight weeks with Rear Admiral
Russell Wilson. who recently took

Ship Annapolis of the United
Through Any Sea states Naval
writer feels that everything win be
shipshape at Annapolis-come what
may. When the then Commander
Wilson deployed the destroyer fleet
around Greenland and Labrador,
shepherding home the army world
fliers, in 1924, we were stalking
Capt. Donald Macmillan, the explor-
er. in the sub-Arctic, and found gra-
cious hospitality on the command
er's destroyer, Lawrence, at Indian
harbor, Labrador.
He's an alert disciplinarian, with
out being in the least stiff-necked
about it. When we began issuing the
Labrador Gumdrop." the spright-
lest piece in it was written by the
commander. He is tall, grave, slen-
der, distinguished in appearance,
deliberate in speech, but quick and
precise in action.
The latter became clear when
. black squan socked the Law
renee one day, with almost the
suddenness Of an explosion. with
rock bottom under Indian har-
Dor, the ship had nothing to get
her hook into. She started slith-
ering and spinning like Japa-
nese dancing mouse. The shore
was rocky and the chances for
4 crack-up looked fairly good.
The commanders job was
something like chaudeurfng
skidding automobile. We aren't
sufficiently nautical to tell what
happened, but he brought the
ship through top-side up. A
young lieutenant told me later
that 1t was brilliant piece Of
seamanship.
Under a generous naval lease-lend
plan, we borrowed the commanders
nShlng tackle ana SnotgunS, 10 ShooS
puffins. We won the war and re-
turned the armament. He, as one
would have known, moved smoothly
on up through grades to the post Of
rear admiral.
He was born In Sardinia, N. T.,
in 1888. put in two years at the
Massachusetts Institute Of Tech
nol0gy and transferred to An
napolis. In the World war, he
commanded the sixth battle
squadron Of the grand feet. He
holds the Navy cross, the Vic
tory medal and the Vera Crux
medal. Unfortunately, there Il
