goes somewhat beyond the powers
granted quarter century ago.

A member of the Maritime Com
mission today told a Senate Com
mittee investigating the defense
program that "a number" Of the
commissions new cargo vessels had
been converted into aircraft carriers
for the Navy.
The statement was made by John
]. Dempsey, commission member, in
response to questions by Senator

the Governments shipbuilding pro-
gram.
Observing that the cargo ships
had been designed with view to
conversion to naval use If desired,

been converted into airplane car
riers'
He said he had no knowledge as
to the details of the conversion or
what armament had been placed on
the ships, this having been done
under the Navy's direction.
In response to question, he said
that the commission was looking
into the possibility of ship construc-
ton on the Great Lakes. 1t was be-
lieved, he said, that hulls could be
laid there and towed to New Orleans
for completion.
Mr.. Dempsey also said that the
Government might soon save many
millions of dollars annually through
the elimination of merchant marine
operating subsidies, which he said
were rapidly becoming unnecessary
because of the elimination of for

Chief Justice Hughes
Resigns; Jackson
Seen as Successor
79-Yeur-Old Jurist to
Leave July ! Because
OF Health and Age
BY the Associated Press.

Charles Evans Hughes, the elev-
enth man in history to serve as Chief
Justice of the United States, will
relinquish his high Office on July l
and retire to private life because
OF considerations of health and
age"
The not-uneXpected decision of
the 79-year -old jurist to retire marks
the end of Supreme Court service
that has covered 19 years-first as
associate and later as Chief Justice.
1t also closes a career in public life
that has been unusually varied and
distinguished.
As soon as the Chief Justices in
tention to retire became known,
speculation here fastened on the
question of his successor. Informed
sources freely and almost unan-
imously predicted that Attorney
General Jackson, a leading admins
tration figure, would be President
Roosevelt's choice to succeed Mr.
Hughes in the Nations highest judi
cial position.
BY filling this vacancy and an
earlier one that has existed since
the retirement of Justice c. Nc
Reynolds last February /, President
Roosevelt will have named seven of
the nine members of the tribunal.
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina, on whom the administra-
ton relies heavily in pushing legis-
lation through Congress, is expected
to be the other appointee.
Last Session Till October 6.
Chief Justice Hughes sent his re-
tirement letter to the White House
yesterday before mounting the
bench to preside over the court for
its last session until October 6.
Although no one knew then of
the letter, spectators noticed that
the jurist did not show his Gus
tomary vigor. They thought later
this might have been due to his
sadness ip taking leave of the posi-
ton he has held since 1880.
Considerations of health and
age make it necessary that 1 should
be relieved of the duties which !
have been discharging with increas-
ing difficulty" the Chief Justice told
Mr.. Roosevelt in the letter made
public early last night. For that
reason avail myself of the right
and privilege granted by the Act of
March l, 1887, 26 U. S. Code. Section
1883, and retire from regular active
service on the bench as Chief JUS
tice of the United States, this re-
tirement to be effective on and
after July l, 1941."
The text of the letter was tele-
phoned from Washington to the Of
fees of the temporary White House
at Poughkeepsie. N. Y, a few miles
from Hyde Park, and delivered to
Mr.. Roosevelt at the estate. He
wrote out the telegram of reply In

an urgent cabinet meeting late

Frances North African forces.
At the earlier cabinet meeting,
which lasted for two hours and was
said to have been devoted to dis
cussion of tense French-British re-
lations, Gen. Weygand was present
but the marshal was not.
From this earlier session, Gen.

pro-consul, was understood to nave
gone straight to the marshal, VINO
Immediately called the second
meeting.

dio charged today the British were

The radio said the British were
campaigning with false news OF

French forces are ready to defend
their territory and know how to
reply effectively" the broadcast said.
Broadcast Denied.
The radio particularly denied a
New York broadcast that German
motorized units had landed at La
takia. in Syria, and British broad
cast that the hospital ship Canada,
which landed last week at Beirut
from Marseille, had 500 Germans
aboard.
The fact that Gen. Maxine Wey-
eand, who technically is not mem
Der of the government, was present
at the first cabinet meeting was
considered in diplomatic circles to
give the conference added slgnln-
canoe.
While the cabinet was holding It's
first meeting it was reported In
Vichv that Pierre Laval, former vice
premier and foreign minister. was
likely to make a private visit to his
Chateldon castle near there tnls
week end.

There was a possibility he might
be called to the Pare Hotel for

Patterson Urges u. 5.
Power 10 Conscript
Industry for Defense
Says Property Bill Aimed
At Future c Contingencies;
Opposition Arises
By the Associated Press.

Robert P. Patterson. Undersecre-
tary of War, declared today that
"the President should have the
authority to throw the whole in
dustrial power of this country into
equipping the Army"
THE military and naval require
ments come first" Mr.. Patterson
added in commenting at a press
conference on the bill introduced
by the War Department yesterday
to give the Government sweeping
authority to conscript private prop
erty useful to national defense.
Under the selective service system,
Mr.. Patterson said, the Government
has the authority to interfere with
the liberty of individuals, and II
see no reason why it should not
have power also over property
Just as we are not depending on
the volunteer system for raising an
army" he said. I'VE should not de-
pend on the voluntary system to
equip it."
Not Aimed at Specific Problem.
While the bill undoubtedly would
give the Government complete
power to assume control Of strike
bound plants or factories in which
strikes were threatened, Mr.. Patter-
son continued, it was not aimed at
a solution of labor disputes or ally
specific present problem, but was
sought for use in possible future
contingencies.
Asked whether the bill would
grant power exceeding that held by
President Wilson during the World
War. Mr.. Patterson said he was mot
sure that President Wilson had any
comprehensive grant of power such
as this" but was certain the bill did
not delegate authority exceeding
that of the World War President.
Mr.. Patterson said that, while the
broad grants Of power to President
Wilson were criticized sharply in de-
bate before their approval by Con-
gress, he did not recall any criticism
following their adoption, and Il

(the powers) were abused"
The Undersecretary said there had
been two or three property owner
ship instances of minor significance.
One such, he said, was that of an
individual asked by the War Depart
ment to surrender his private air
plane to the Army, but refused to
give it up.
"He said he preferred to use it for
his own purposes" Mr.. Patterson
said, which I understand were
amusement"
Opposition Arises.
Meanwhile, substantial opposition
materalized in Congress to the prop
erty-seizure legislation.
One of the first to attack the War
Departments legislation was Sena-
tor Wheeler, Democrat, Of Montana,
who has fought number of the

porters, "the President could take
