engines and aluminium.
Explaining that he foresaw need
for drafting industry and labor only
If it became necessary to obtain
much greater production than now
Is being considered, Mr.. Martin said
such action would settle all ques-
tions, on the part of industry, as to
who is going to make what" and,
on the part of labor, prevent labor
organizations from taking bigger
bite out of what they believe is a
bigger and better melon"
Opposes Naturalization.
He said he was not advocating
naturalization of industry and that
management should operate the
plants, but the Government should
have power to say what contracts
those plants would undertake
AS to his own employees, Mr.. Martin
said they had voted mo union"
some time ago. and the plant had
always operated on that basis
I'VE have the merit system in our
plant" he explained, "and raise each
man as an individual"
Mr.. Martin said he did not know
Just how the Government could go
about drafting labor, but the same
amount of power ought to be ap-
piled to labor that is applied to in
dustry."
I'VE think that labor should be
given its social securities, but
shouldn't be permitted to take ad-
vantage of national defense to heap
up earnings from national defense
above comfortable living" he tes-
tilted.
Sacrifice of Luxuries Urged.
Earlier, Chairman Vinson had
asked Americans to sacrifice peace
time luxuries' to accelerate produc-
ton of planes for national defense.
He further suggested that the out
put of warplanes could be stepped
up if manufacturers distributed
more of their work to subcontractors.
He offered these twin proposals
after Burdette Wright, vice presi-
dent of Curtiss-W Wright Airplane
Division, told the committee yes
terday it was doubtful whether
the United States could achieve
mass production of planes, since
frequent design changes were neces-
sary to keep pace with improve
ments developed on the European
war front.
If citizens would do without "a
pot or pan or an automobile" oc-
casionally, Representative Vinson
said, the machinery needed to
produce them could be diverted to
manufacture of defense products.
Says Sacrifices Are Necessary.
I'VE can't go along with the peace
time method of having luxuries and
we've got to give them up If we are
going to keep this program going"
he declared.
Expressing favor for more sub
contracting by the aviation industry,
Representative Vinson told a witness
at yesterdays hearing:
You must recognize that you
can't do it all yourself, and when
you do that, you'll make deliveries
faster"
In resuming its inquiry into the
status of the production of air
craft for the Navy, the committee
summoned as witnesses today Mr..
Martin and officials of Boeing and
United Aircraft Cos
Representatives of three other
concerns told the committee yester-

Roosevelt Confers
Today on Women's S
Role in Defense
Back From Hyde Park,
President Works on
inaugural Message

President Roosevelt, back in
Washington after week end at his
family home in Hyde Park, arranged
to confer today with large delega-
ton headed by Mrs. Roosevelt and
two cabinet officials on problems of
home defense.
With emphasis on the part which
the Nations women can play in pre-
serving the morale and good health
Of the country, the President was to
discuss the problem with the fol-
lowing: Secretary of the Interior
Ickes, Secretary of Labor Perkins,
Federal Security Administrator Nc
Mutt, Federal Works Administrator
Carmody, Mrs. Ellen Woodward of
the Social Security Board, Mrs. Flo
renee Kerr of the w. P. A., Budget
Director Harold D. Smith, Admins
trative Assistant William McReyn-
olds and Mrs. Roosevelt.
Discussed Topic Last Friday.
Announcing the conference,
Stephen T. Early, presidential secre-
tary, said some of the ground to
be covered had been discussed by the
President in his luncheon address
last Friday to the Womens National
Press Club.
The President was to have a
luncheon conference with Secretary
Of State Hull, with his only other
engagement for the day being with
Robert Watt of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Mr. Watt has
been representing A. F. L. interests
in discussions pertaining to labor S
part in the defense program.
Works on Inaugural Message.
Mr.. Early said the President has
asked that his engagements for the
remainder Of the week be kept to a
minimum to give him time to work
| on his inaugural address Mr.
Roosevelt started his first draft of
the address yesterday at his Hyde
Park home.
One other matter of Importance
before the President this week is the
designation of a new Ambassador to
Great Britain, to succeed Joseph P
Kennedy. Former Secretary OF
Commerce Harry L. Hopkins is in
England now on special mission
for the President, but it is definitely
understood he is not to be named tc
the Ambassador post.
Actually, it is understood a choice
has been made, but the President
has delayed sending the appoint
ment to the Senate.

ing such frequent design changes in
its warplanes, TO keep abreast of
latest improvements, that delays of
months are inevitable.
$4,000 Goal Held Doubtful.
Mr., Wright asserted that violent
competition for air supremacy made
it appear doubtful that mass pro-
duction ever could be achieved
Mr.. Vinson said later that the sit
uation meant that the administra-
ton goal of $4,000 "up-to-the-
minute" planes annually probably
could not be attained. If mass pro-
duction of that many ships began
and no alterations were made, they
would be obsolete by almost a year
when they were finished" he said
Mr.. Wright and other witnesses
said yesterday that production of
craft for Great Britain had gone
forward more rapidly than had pro-
duction for the Army and Navy be-
cause the British made fewer re-
visions in design.
When committee members asked
about the possibilities of increased
production if the industry should
go on a seven-day week, Mr.. Wright
expressed the opinion that con-
tinuous operation would be unwise.
Time for machine maintenance
would be inadequate. he said, and
the pace would burn out" execu-
tive, administrative and supervisory
personnel.

haitian, her 200 cruise passengers
safely ashore, wallowed in the surf
today while salvage operators PLAN
ned new tactics to free the $10,OOO,-
600 vessel from a sand bar.
w. H. Lee, company engineer who
new here from New York, said the
"a 4000-ton steamer would be light
ened-by pumping out oil and water
before the next attemp to pull her
CT the bar.
Wrecking Tug Stands BY.
The wrecking tug Willet, sum-
moned from Key West, stood by for
. fresh attempt with crew and gear
that have floated a dozen or more
ocean liners in recent years.
The Manhattan, bound from New
York to San Francisco, went firmly
aground Sunday night about miles
north of this winter resort. The
grounding did little more than jar
the excursionists. most of whom
were at dinner, but the ship was
stuck fast $50 yards from shore.
Seamen familiar with the waters
were unwilling even to guess why
the liner was sailing so close to
shore. Neither ship nor company
officials would comment
Cutters Tow in Vain.
After the Coast Guard cutters
Vigilant and Mojave tried in vain
for several hours yesterday to tow
the liner into deep water, the pas
sengers were removed.
Coast Guardsmen working in
ground sWells that occasionally sent
waves speWing over the lower deck,
transferred the passengers to small
boat and thence to the cutters for
conveyance to shore. There were
nc mishaps.
The eXcursionistS were taken to
the Palm Beach Biltmore Hotel
pending further plans. A spokes-
man for the line said it would re-
fund the passengers fares and help
them go home or elsewhere.

moved to farm in Mitchell County,
Tex, in 1908. There he attended the
rural schools and later was grad
uated from Lorraine High School.
Later Mr.. Mahon attended Har-
din-Simmons in Abilene, which
awarded him a B. A. degree; the
University Of Texas, which conferred
on him an LII B. degree, and the
University of Minnesota.
He is married and the father of a
14-year old daughter.

newsmen that he would devote his
efforts TO getting the bill killed ap-
parently put him on the side of Sen
ator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon
tana and those others who have in
dicated that. regardless of modiflca-
tions. only the defeat Of the admin
istration plan would satisfy them.
Would Limit Loans.
The substitute loan program which
Senator Taft advanced would be-
come operative when British assets
were exhausted and would be linn
tied in the first instance to sl,000,-
100000 or 81 500 900 600.
Senator Taft said Commerce De-
partment reports showed that Brit
ain still had $4,000 900. 900 of cash
and marketable securities in the
United States. If the first $780,
100000 loan proved insufficient for
British, he added, Congress could
grant further sums.
The Taft counter-plan was the
widest departure from the admins
tration program yet offered by
critics with positive suggestions. 1t
ran contrary to President Roosevelt S
recent assertion that the dollar sign
should be eliminated from the whole
question of American aid to Britain.
Simpson Bill introduced.
\ substitute bill embodying in part
the suggestions by Mr.. Willkie, who
approved the principle Of the ad-
ministration plan, was offered in
the House yesterday by Representa-
tive Simpson. Republican, Of New
York. Willkie campaign adviser.
This measure would limit opera
ton of the lease-lenl program to two
years and confine aid to the British
commonwealth of nations and Ire
land, unless Congress decided to eX-
tend it to Greece, China or other
"democracies." as contemplated in
the administration bill.
Mr.. Simpson said he had talked
with Mr.. Willkie before introducing
his bill-which follows the admins
tration measure almost verbatim on
most points-but that he did not
wish to commit the Republican
standard bearer to it beyond calling
attention to Mr.. WILKES demand
for time limit.
Fish Offers Amendments.
Representative Fish brought for
ward yesterday a set of amend
ments to the administration bill
which would prohibit the PreSi-
dent from: Giving away any part
of the Navy without the con-
sent of Congress. sending American
merchant vessels into war zones, or
using naval vessels to convoy foreign
ships.
At the same time he would require
tin and rubber as British collateral
for the equipment leased and would
insist on transfer of title of all Brit
ish islands in the Western Hemis-
phere to the United States.

experience for the Job. I look to
him to give the District a good ap-
preparation bill for the coming fiscal
year
At the same time, Mr.. Taylor
deplored newspaper stories-pub-
lished in papers other than The Star
that some member other than Mr.
Mahon would be selected as chair
man of the subcommittee The Star
month ago exclusively predicted
the Texans appointment.
Mr.. Mahon told newspapermen it
would be his policy to give Justice"
to the people of Washington, while
at the same time bearing in mind
the need for economy.
Because of the situation regard
ing national Defense" he declared,
''it certainly will be my intention to
be as economical as we can afford
to be in justice to Washington in
line with appropriations for other
parts of the country.
Il certainly should not think the
subcommittee would look with favor
at this time on any increase in the
present $6,000,000 lump-sum Federal
payment toward District expenses.
On the other hand, there may be
members of Congress who may want
to explore the possibilities of lower
ing it.
Like all Americans I take pride
in my Nations Capital I think the
District is entitled to square deal
from Congress"
Cursory Examination Made.
Mr.. Mahon said he had made only
a cursory examination of the 1912
budget estimates sent to Congress
last week by President Roosevelt,
but pointed out it called for appro-
priations in excess of those provided
for the current fiscal year.
Not having studied the budget
carefully" he said, Il am not in a
position at this time to comment in
detail upon its contents"
Mr.. Taylor as well as Mr.. Mahon
said the subcommittee would not
begin work on the District bill for
several months.
Representative Mahon is begin
ming his fourth term in Congress.
He has been a member of the House
District Subcommittee on Appro-
priations for four years and always
has manifested a keen interest in
municipal problems. Last year he
made a tour of District institutions
with former Chairman Caldwell and
other members of the subcommittee
and took a leading part in the fight
that resulted in increased funds for
the Home for and Aged and Infirm
at Blue Plains and other welfare
agencies.
Mr.. Mahon is a lawyer and before
coming to Congress served as dis
trict attorney for the 32d Texas ju-
dicial district for five years. He was
born near Haynesville. La, Septem-
Der a.. 1900. and with his parents
