Grant set an outstanding example of

Apologists for the major league
player are many, and some had ample
reason for remaining out of the service.
The point is that major leaguers did not
prove by their course that baseball fol-
lows the flag. Gowdy, Grant and

DETROIT, March 5.--One hun

and other vital parts-each month
will be the initial objective of the
Ford Motor Co. in the new sll ,000.-
600 assembly plant it is to build near
Ypsilanti, Mich.
This was the statement yesterday
by Edsel 3. Ford, president of the
Ford company, who added that I'VE
hope to be in production by the end
of the year" He said that every
effort would be made to start some
of the work Immediately. using exist
ing plant facilities until the new
building is completed.
Authorization to proceed with con-
struction of the new assembly plant
was received from Washington Mon
day. Blueprints and general speci-
fications for the plant had been per-
fected several weeks ago ana the
company expects to have construc-
ton work under way within a short
time.
Besides the "airframe assem-
blies," the preliminary agreement
between the Ford Co. and the Gov
ernment also calls for the company
to manufacture landing gears for
Army bombers. These gears are Of
the tricycle. type, described as one
of the most complicated parts of
the bombers, and each will weigh
about 1900 pounds.
According to present plans the
output of the Ford "airframe" as
sembly plant is to be divided be-
tween the Consolidated and the
Douglas Aircraft companies. The
initis! order is for 800 complete as

receipt of a telegram from college
students, organized into "a chapters
of the Committee to Defend America
by Aiding the Allies, urging speedy
Senate passage of the bill.
The Vermonter said opponents of
the bill had challenged him to pro-
duce evidence of support by stu-
dents who might have to go to war.
Senator Wheeler jumped up to an
nounce that he was perfectly willing
to suspend Senate debate for two
weeks and let the issue be decided
by college students who must go to
war or by the general public.
''If a majority favor it, then we
would pass it," he said. "What do
the proponents think of thst?"
1T would be a very effective way
of filibustering this BILL" Senator
Austin replied. THE proposition
defeats itself"
Britain Called Aggressor.
Senator Clark, Democrat. of Mis-
souri,, got into the argument to point
out that some of the collegians who
telegraphed Senator Austin were
girls not subject either to the draft
or combat service.
The Missouri Senator said he was
willing to produce hundreds, per-
haps thousands, of letters from col
legians who opposed the bill.
During yesterdays debate, two
Republican Senators, Senators Wiley
of Wisconsin and Holman of Ore
gon, denounced the bill. Senator
Wiley declared the legislation meant
intervention" and was "close to in
volvement" in the war. Senator
Holman was critical of giving the
President greater powers, and called
the bill proposal to undermine
the Constitution"
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, an unyielding opponent OF
the measure, said this country was
being asked to enter an alliance
with Great Britain which he termed
"the ace aggressor of all time"
Senator Nye indicated that final
vote might be had by the middle OF
1lCAG WCCAy UuU cOlllC OGiiCl OPpO-
nents of the bill privately expressed
doubt that the roll would be called
that soon.
In radio address last night SEN
ator Herring, Democrat, of Iowa,
said it should be apparent to every
patriotic American that this coun-
try stands to lose "in every import
ant particular, should there be a
decisive victory by the totalitarian
powers"
"By virtue Of that fact" he con-
tinued, "it is important and essen
tial to the national defense of con-
tinental United States and its in
sular possessions that the totalitar-
ian powers be prevented from domi-
mating the rest of the world"

British h-owned China Mail published
a report today that approximately
so Japanese warships passed Hong
Kong last Sunday headed south
toward Hainan Island, across the

Reports to a Shanghai newspaper
and to the Hong Kong Central News
said 100 Japanese ships we're seen
headed south along the coast there.
Japanese naval authorities an
nounced today that Japanese land
forces last Monday occupied Pakhoi,
port in China's southwestern
Kwangtung province, ostensibly to
cut of supplies flowing inland to
the Chinese Army.
Domei, Japanese news agency, re-
ported from Pakhoi last night that
after taking that port the Japanese
were marching toward Hoppe. a
short distance inland, to sever COM
