leave soon on trip TO London.
The question of a possible con-
ference before Willkie leaves for
London was raised at Hulls press
conference. Hull said this was up
to willkie.
A reporter noted that Willkie
had been granted a passport with
a minimum of delay, although such
permission is not generally granted
to Americans who want to go to the
war zones.
Hull referred to Willkie as an
outstanding figure and leader OF
public thought, and said that pass
port has frequently been granted
TO newspapermen and other private
citizens having important private
missions abroad.
There was some scattered discus
sion of the British aid bill in the
house after it had sustained refer
ence of the measure to the foreign
affairs committee, which vii. bsgin
hearings tomorrow.
Rep. Tom jenkins. R, O., recitet
all the powers which MI. Roosevelt
would have under the bill and the
gave his own reaction in four words;
God save the countryi"
The opposition was busy setting
UP informal organiza zation-especiaI
ly in the senate.
At a meeting planned for early
this week, they will name a Repub-
hcan-either Sen. Robert A. Taft
OF Ohio or Sen. Arthur H. Vanden-
berg of Michigan-to help Wheeler
lead the fight against the bill that
they charge is equal 10 a "declara-
ton OF war" and a DICTATORSHIP
for the United States" Their first
objective will be to limit drasticsl!y
the powers to be granted the presi-
dent.
Organization of the opposition
group is similar TO the one set UP
in 1887 to fight Mr.. Roosevelt's pro-
posal to reorganize the supreme
court. Wheeler directed the strategy
then, too.

nual meeting today that the lack
Of the so ships the industry has
been called on to furnish to the
Federal Government would AFFECT

had accounted for an earlier event

Proud One barely lasted to win

Fields Up the Hill was third, half

of this month. Eligibles for that

Many observers believed Cis Mar
ion was the best horse in the Acorn.
She broke last and Conn McCreary
kept her on the outside while grad

tending position. In the meantime,
Proud One was forcing Tangled S

LONDON, May 21.-Prime Min
lister Churchill's charge that Ger
man soldiers disguised in New Zea-
land uniform participated in the air
borne invasion of Crete inspired a
high-ranking neutral here to pose
this question today:
What would happen in Britain If
invasion were only problem of uni
form?
Always ceremonially pictorial in
the matter of dress, British
thoroughfares nowadays resemble a
convention of circus trainers lost in
the midst of a fancy dress ball.
There are so many uniforms in
Britain now" said this neutral,
that an invader could land in base
ball uniform without exciting sus-
picion."
Walk down a London street and
see what he means.
The street cleaners of Westmln-
ster wear hats turned up on the
side like Australians,
telegraph messenger boys look
like Juvenile gendarmes OF pre-
armist;ce France.
Bank messengers wear outfits re-
sembling the costume OF old-tlme

Crop Damage in Southeast

SS the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, May 2l.-Serious crop
damage in the Southeast appeared
imminent today as the drought con-
tinued with no immediate prospects
OF rain in sight.
Temperatures in the COS yester-
day hastened loss of the little mois-
ture remaining in.
Most damage has been to pastures
and truck crops and unless there is
heavy rainfall soon, field crops
soon will begin to suffer from the
prolonged lack of moisture, the
Weather Bureau said.
The Virginia COOPERATIVE Crop
Reporting Service said crops in that
State are badly in need of rain. with
hay and pastures showing the heav-
lest damage and cotton and tobacco
growth hampered.
Condition of truck crops in Geor-
gia generally is poor to fair" but
other crops are in fair condition
North Carolina is not suffering
unduly from lack of rain, except
through forest fires in various parts
of the State.
In Florida the major crops are
not suffering unduly from lack Of
rain, but considerable damage to
young truck crops has been reported.

I was very much shocked and

declared

Nevertheless, she said investiga-
tors in other Government agencies
confirmed reports she had heard
that those who testify against

Representative Voorhis, Democrat,

that some of her information should
be given in executive session.
The United States is at an eX-
tremely critical point in its history"
he declared. mo committee should
do anything or allow charges to be
made which would lead the people
OF this country to lack confidence in

This is not a blanket indictment.
The committee is not making any
charges. We are merely hearing tn.

under oath and developing the in

about"

type OF testimony Is extremely un-

Before Miss Spargo took the wit

tions at the New York peace rally
last month which, it was alleged, was
sponsored by A. P. M.
She declared the entire meeting
was a strike campaign" and she
heard only one speech in advocacy
of peace The dominant note OF the
rally, she said, was that labor, in
carrying on strikes, would make 1t
impossible for this country to par
ticipate in the war.
Peace Rally Songs Read.
Miss Huffman entertained the
subcommittee and the spectators,
more or less, by reading stanzas
from some of the songs sung at the
New York rally.
Solidarity Forever" she said, was
sandwiched between every song.

others she recited we're:

Women's Club ParIey
Reveals Sharp Split
On Convoy Issue
Wheeler's Question to
5000 Delegates Brings
Mixed Chorus Of Replies
Earlier Story on Page AID
BY FRANCES LIDE,

WomanS : CLUB Edltor.
ATLANTIC CITY, May 2l-Cries
Of Yes" and No" were mingled to-
eether at the General Federation of
Women's Clubs convention here to-
day when Senator Wheeler, Demo-
crat of Montana. asked an audi
ence of 5000 women if American
ships should be conveyed to Eng
land
Sharp division of sentiment was
indicated further by the applause
that greeted both the Montana Sem
ator and Senator Pepper, Democrat,
of Florida. when they appeared to-
gether in a forum discussion.
Senator Wheeler was cheered
when he asserted that war making
powers belong to the people If the
President is waiting for public senti-
ment to take the country TO War. he
isn't going to get it, the Senator also
declared.
He quoted the Presidents remark
that "convoys mean shooting and
shooting means war"
Senator Wheeler also charged
that for the first time in our his
tory major steps toward war have
been taken without consulting the
Congress or the people. In this con-
nection he listed the freezing of
foreign credits, the trading" of a
part of the Navy for the right to
build bases on foreign-o owned lands,
the sending abroad of confidential
personal agents who have no fixed
responsibility to the people and the
release Of military supplies and
secrets to warning powers
Declaring that in land after land
where one-man government is en-
throned the parliament has become
a mere sounding board" for the
whim of the executive, he continued:
rs it too far fetched to suggest that
your Congress had gone a long way
down the road to being mere
sounding board?"
Dues Increase Beaten.
The delegates earlier defeated
proposal to increase federation dues
10 to Is cents.
The question Of dues raise was
not definitely settled however. as
the women adjourned after three
hour discussion.
That increased revenue would be
needed for a united defense effort
on the part of the federation was
indicated by its president, Mrs.
Sadie Orr Dunbar. who made a
strong appeal for per capita dues
of IS cents.
Mrs. Dunbar declared that the
federation does not now have suf-
ficient funds to reach its affiliated
membership of $4,000 clubs ON mat
ters which would be of interest to
the organization.
ID. c. Delegates Favor Increase.
The District of Columbia delega-
ton was not instructed, but repre-
sentatlves present were in favor of
a raise. Mrs. Ernest Humphrey
Daniel, the District president, sug-
gested to the organization, however,
that compulsory universal member
ship would produce the desired rev.
enue without the need for raise in
dues. At present only 500, 900 of the
100000 women in affiliated clubs
pay dues to the national organlza-
ton, Mrs. Dunbar explained.
When the suggestion was made
that the organizations would lose
membership if dues we're raised
Mrs. Dunbar declared that she would
rather have larger fees on fewer
clubs than to have the organization
"lose its place in the sun,
She enumerated a number of
organizations in which national
dues ranged from IS cents to So.
