ment on Capitol Hill over the pro-
priety of Senator Wheeler in fore
casting the occupation of Iceland
in advance-an action criticized by
Prime Minister Churchill.
On the shooting question, the
opinion of many legislators was that
Secretary Knox had plainly implied
that the Atlantic Fleet had orders
to open fire if necessary to deal
with hostile activity along the United
States communication lines at sea.
They held that was the obvious
Interpretation of the Secretary's
remarks at his press conference yes
terday, even though he carefully
avoided use of the word Shooting"
When the question was raised,
Secretary Knox recalled to newsmen
that President Roosevelt had in
structed the Navy what to do if it
became necessary to shoot in order
to protect the Atlantic approaches to
United States bases from hostile
activity or threat thereof as Mr..
Roosevelt phrased it.
Secretary Knox referred rpecif-
cally to the passage in Mr.. Roose-
velt's message to Congress- on the
occupation of Iceland, which read:
L have consequently issued or
ders to the Navy that all necessary
steps be taken to insure the safety
Of communication in the approaches
between Iceland and the United
States and other strategic outposts."
The Secretary firmly refused to
place any Interpretation of his own
on the passage, but he did say-in
reply to question-that the Ian
guage would indicate" that the
President intended the Atlantic pa
orders, which merely directed patrol
troll to go farther than its previous
units to report any hostile craft
sighted.
IF the Navy has to shoot to do
what the President says, will it
shoot?" a reporter asked. Mr.. Knox
referred him to the phrase all nec-
essary steps" in the Presidents mes
sage, and remarked that there was
mo room for any doubt" as to its
meaning.
Senator Pepper, on the other hand,
asserted that undoubtedly Prime
Minister Churchill reflects the con-
Germ that everybody responsible for
the safety of our armed forces as
well as for the national interest
experiences about men in the Con-
gress who apparently regard them
selves as under no responsibility with
respect to disclosures of information
of military character"
Senator Wheeler was quick to
retort to the Churchill communi-
cation.
This is still a democracy and
the American people have a right
to know about steps which could
involve them in war. AS much as
some people would like to adopt
the idea that We don't have a de-
mocracy any more, I still think
that the Congress and the execu-
tive branch derive their powers
from the people"

Jury Expected 10 GET
Auhagen Case Today;
Arguments Limited
Former Lecturer Made
Trips to Germany Since
1888, Prosecutor Says

With prospects that the jury will
receive the case this afternoon and
consider whether Friedrich Ernst
Auhagen, former Columbia Uni
versity teacher, writer and lecturer,
was Nazi propagandiSt and failed
to register with the State Depart
ment as an alien agent, as charged,
Judge Charles G.. Briggle in District
Court today allowed each side one
hour for closing arguments.
Special Assistant to the Attorney
General George McNulty told the
jury that the defendant had not
visited Germany annually prior to
the rise to power of Hitler, but that
after 1888. he went back each year,
except 1887, and including 1888, the
eve of Germany's invasion of Po-
land.
Made Hitler Film.
The prosecutor declared that Mr..
Auhagen gave to high German off.
cials the names of American citi-
zens in this country who might be
likely material for propaganda and
that the German consul in New York
deposited to the defendants &C
count money he received for writing
a report
In 1886, the prosecutor pointed
out, Mr.. Auhagen not only filmed
the Olympic Games in Germany and
| got rather close shot of Hitler, but
also filmed the Nazi party meeting
itself. Mr.. Auhagen reported to the
German Ministry of Propaganda in
Berlin on his lecture activities in
America, Mr. McNulty said, and
this was while Germany was busy
preparing for war.
Mr.. McNulty read to the jury an
outline of proposed German
Affairs Forum found among the
defendants effects. in which it was
said that forum would not be asso-
clated with the odium of propa-
ganda. The Government contends
that Mr.. Auhagen's American Fell
loWshlp Forum was camouflage for
German propaganda. A list of Is
cities, each having large German
born populations, was attached to
the outline, Mr.. McNulty said.
Defendant Recalled.
| Defense Counsel Alfred S. Holmes
put Mr.. Auhagen back on the wit
ness stand to testify that the out
line was never used for organization
but 1nasmuch as German speakers
were desired in this country, he took
1t back to Germany, but this was
ruled out, as the officials did not
like the democratic way of conduct
ing meetings.
DR.. Edward j. Allen of Orono, Me.
dean of the College of Arts and Sci
ences, University of Maine. a former
Columbia University executive, testi-
fed that while Mr.. Auhagen taught
there, he was propagandizing the
students, instead of teaching the
German language. The defendant
devoted his time to explaining move
ments in Germany, DR.. Allen said.
The witness told of how enthusiastic
Mr.. Auhagen was for the Hitler re-
gime and the defendant told him
that he had met Marshal Goering
on a boat in Northern Germany, as
we'll as other prominent officials OF
the Reich.

Defense Officials Get
Plane Industry Plan
To Stabilize Wages
Cost to Government
Estimated at 80 Million
Next Yeor for Pay Boost
By WILLIAM H. SHIPPEN, Jr.

A suggestion for a wage stabiliZa-
ton program in the aircraft indus
try, estimated to cost the Govern
ment about $8OOOO,OO0 in the next
II months, was left with defense
production officials here yesterday
by nine men said to represent the
industry from coast to coast.
The manufacturers it was said,
expressed willingness to support ac-
lively regional wage sterilization
program designed to insure maxi
mum and uninterrupted production,
if the Government approves the
plan and makes it economically
possible" The latter phrase would
mean a willingness on the part of
the Government to revise contracts
TO meet the added cost of labor.
Next Step Up to Government.
Spokesmen for the industry con-
| ferred yesterday with Sidney Hill
man, o. P. M. labor representative
and Army and Navy officers. The
next step, the manufacturers felt,
will be up to the Government or to
labor groups to organize regional
conferences to confirm the wage
scale and standardize job classical
tions.
The proposal, in general, contem.
plated 10-cent-an-hour wage boost
for some 242000 shop employees (as
of June u along the lines of that
granted recently at the North Amer
ican plant in California.
Unofficial estimates were that the
plan would cost the Government
some s4O0. 100000 in the next foul
years under present aircraft con-
| tracts.
Job Redistribution Urged.
The contract program, which may
be expanded at any time, now fore
casts a peak of 100000 shop en-
ployes in the industry by early next
year. it was said.
The manufacturers suggested that
job classification be reduced to a
simple minimum" Some plants now
have as many as 1000 and others as
few as 100 classifications for various
skilled jobs.
Four of the manufacturers were
from the West Coast, four from the
East Coast and one from the Mid
west, it was said.

Quick Work by Police
Receivers Stolen Auto

The Police Department within a
few minutes yesterday recovered an
automobile which Representative
Joseph j. O'Brien of New York re-
ported had been stolen from a con-
stituent.
The car, owned by Harry A. Hurt
OF Rochester, Mr.. OBrien said, dis
appeared from a parking place in
front of a downtown hotel.
A few minutes after a description
OF the car was broadcast the vehicle
was spotted few blocks away from
the hotel by Traffic Policemen C.
e. Glass and Charles E. Rabbit.
The driver, a 30-year- old salesman
was held for investigation.

Mandatory Deferment
OF Men 28 Passes
House Tentatively
Administration Forces
Work Quietly TO Defect
Strike-ControI Provision
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House today approved tenta-
lively legislation providing man.
datory deferment from military
training of men who were % years
or older on July l and who have d
not been drafted.
Then the members started dis
cussing an amendment by Repre-
sentative Elston, Republican, of
Ohio to permit men % or older who
have been inducted into service to
be discharged on their own request.
The draft deferment provision was
accepted without a formal vote and
with little debate. A Senate-ap-'
proved bill provides for discretionary
deferment.
Strike Control Opposed.
Meanwhile. House administration
forces worked quietly behind the
scenes in an effort to defeat drastic :
strike-control sections of the same
legislation and instead bring about
a vote on milder provisions already
approved by the Senate.
They passed along the word that
they favored Senate sections to per-
NIT the Government to take over
any defense plant where a strike
was impeding production, especially
if either side in labor dispute
failed TO use existing Federal con-
ciliation services.
Provisions in the pending House
bill would empower the President
to order production resumed in a
struck defense plant, TO protect
workers willing to return to their
jobs, and would forbid attempts by
force and violence to prevent such
employees accepting or continuing
their employment.
Opponents of the House bills Ia
Dor provisions argued in debate yes
terday that they were restrictive"
a vehicle for anti-labor legislation
which could not be brought before
the House in any other name.
and would destroy the right 70.
strike.
May Calls 1t Pro-Labor Bill.
But Representative May, Demo
crat, of Kentucky, in charge of II
measure, said, IF a bill ever W r.
a protection for labor this is it.
He and other sponsors argue
that the Senate provisions wou
amount to plant seizure bill which
would be detrimental to all WORK
ers, while the House bill would
merely set up policing regula-
tions."
Representative Kennedy Demo
crat, of New York asserted that al
labor is up in arms" and Repre-
sentative SABBATH. Democrat. of L.
linois argued that the bill had the
most drastic anti-labor provisions
ever before the House
Representative Cox, Democrat. Ct
Georgia remarked, Il wonder wheI
men in public life will put the coun :
| try's cause above their own selflsi
political welfare?'

Birth Control Called
More PeriIous 10 "
u. 5. Than War
CothoIic Daughters Hear
Mrs. R. J. Green Criticize
Equal Rights for Women

The Catholic Daughters of Amer
lea, nearing the end of their four
day convention at the Mayflower
Hotel, were warned today against
movements toward birth control and
sterilization of the feeble-minded as
being far more perilous to the ma
tional welfare than even war itself"
Disregard of civil and moral
standards by some of today's youth
and agitation for so-called equal
rights for women" also were criti-
cized by the speaker, Mrs. Robert
J. Green. national legislative chair
man of the organization.
Addressing a luncheon session,
Mrs. Green denounced "a group"
working for the legalization of birth
control, which she declared strikes
at the fundamental unit of a ma
tion's structure, namely the fam
ily."
Cost of Campaign Cited.
Mrs. Green suggested that if the
money spent in disseminating birth
control information be devoted to
alienation of poverty, the economic
difficulties of rearing a large fam
lily might be we'll on the way to a
solution.
She cited agitation for equal rights
Tor women as an example of "unes-
sential and ill-advised activities" on
which women should not waste time
and energy. If equality should be-
come fact in the field of labor. she
said, all protective regulations on
hours and conditions of labor for
women would become obsolete.
At the morning session the dele
gates were urged to take an annual
physical examination as a means
OF combating cancer. Marjorie B
1llig, national commander of the
Women's Field Army of the Amer
1can Society for the Control of Cam
Ger, pointed out that cancer is sec
ond only to heart trouble as a cause
of death.
Priest Tells Mission Need.
Ihe Rev. M. Andrew Lawrence OF
the Missionary Servants of the Most
Holy Trinity told the Daughters
65,000000 Americans have no reIi-
glous aftiliation and that there was
need for missionary work in thi,
country as well as abroad. He urged
cooperation in the "adopt-a-priest
brother" plan under which units OF
the Catholic Daughters would each
support the education of a mission
airy priest.
We send you a picture of the
young man you help educate. he
writes to you and you may write him
Just as if he were your own son,
Father Andrew declared.
The group will be received at the
White House at pm. tomorrow

of New Jersey as hostess.
