WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull told the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee today that an informed source said American aid was largely re- Sponsible" for Great Britain s ability to resist the German in- vasion for the past seven months:
 Testifying behind closed doors, Secretary Hull is reported to have declared emphatically it is his be- lief increased assistance envisioned under the Administrations Brit ish aid bill will not involve the United States in war.
 Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said the State Department apparently had infor- motion that the invasion attempt was scheduled for last September but no definite clue as to why it did not come off is known.
 Secretary Hull is also quoted as saying at one point in the two and one half hour closed session that he believed Turkey will stand fast in it's opposition to the threat ened Axis aggression but Japan undoubtedly" aims to seize con- trol of French Indo-C China.
 Secretary Hull is also said to have testified that long efforts to obtain a mutual understanding for cooperation between Japan and the United States has been virtually fruitless.

Potential Labor Shortage For Defense Program Seen
 In Many Important Fields
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. = An- swering the mail orders:
 D.L. Parsons, Kas.-Checking the Army and Navy, I find that the greatest real or potential labor shortage apparently is in the fol- lowing fields: designers of dies. tools, machinery and instruments; inspectors of materials. instruments, power units, chemicals and explo- sives; marine and production en- gineers and supervisors; naval architects; and metallurgists. The office of education says both Kan sas University and Kansas State College are participating in the 64-college program which already has spread to 35 states. You will have to satisfy the engineering school giving the courses that you are equipped either by technical training or experience to take up the studies you desire, Since each college individually is a judge of its own requirements, I can not tell whether you are sufficiently prepared for further training.
 H. H., Butte, Mont. = The an- swer is yes to your question. Isn't the United States speeding up on the highways? The American Auto mobile Associations survey for the last 10 years shows that B states have increased their speed limits 10 to 20 miles an hour since 1930. Since the AAA survey was made in groupings, I cannot say posi- lively, what the average increase is. but it's close to Is mp.h. There now are Is states which put the responsibility of reasonable and proper" speed on the driver. Ten years ago there were only nine. The automobile people consider this the most important trend in speed laws and some predict the day is approaching when the entire coun- try will place the speed responsi- bility on the driver. Although these IS states, of which yours is one, have no maximum limits, it doesn't mean that when driving in them you can put the accelerator to the floor-board and leave it there Whenever you get the buggy rolling so fast that it is apparent you are driving recklessly and endan- gering lives of others, you are counting session with the judge.

WASHINGTON = The Presidents chat with Ed ONeal, soft-spoken head of the American Farm Bureau Federation, was not as harmonious as the impression given when he emerged beaming from the White House.
 On foreign policy the two men saw eye to eye. but it was quite different on the farm question. O'Neal blunt ly chided Roosevelt for not giving more consideration to agricultural interests in the defense program.
 We've been hearing how business will prosper and the rights of labor will be protected" O'Neal said. You've had plenty to say about this in your speeches, but you've been silent on the farm question as re- lated to national defense"
 Maybe that's because I have no complaint against the farmers" said Roosevelt, in effect.
 Well, We have complaint against you" shot back O'Neil, with no trace of jocularity. All this bick- ering and indecision in Congress about farm legislation to be submit ted at this session is due chiefely to the Administration failure to agree on steps that should be taken" ,"
 ONeal had no real success in urg- ing on the President the Farm Bu- reau's plan for government loans up to 85 percent of parity on basis crops to keep production up to demand. Parity loans now range from 52 to 75 per cent) Acreage control bene- fits, plus the loan guarantee, he contended, would enable farmers to get full parity. while dumping" on government warehouses of cotton and wheat surpluses could be stop ped by the imposition of penalties for over production.
 This plan was a compromise. O'Neal told Roosevelt, between the present loan program and the pro- cessing (sales) tax proposal of the Republican-b backed income certifi- cate plan.
