Glass FavOrs

Washington, Jan. 1S-AP-Sena-

his personal view that the United
States should declare war on Ger
many now, but he added the ques-
ton was one which should be de
termined primarily by policy ex-
perts in the State, War and Navy
Departments.
The S3-y ,ar-old Virginian. who
has criticized many Administration
measures but has supported Presl-
dent Rooseyelt's foreign policy, was
selected by the Democratic Stee..

mittee, which will handle the Ad-
ministration's aid-to-Britain legisla-
ton in the Senate.

he continued. 1T is a matter pri-
mari y for the experts OF the State
Department and the Army and
Navy.
Their opinion should carry great
weight"
Glass added that he would like
to see Hitler at the bottom OF the
sea-"
The Virginia senator previously
has. expressed the view that this
nation would be justified in sending
its vessels into war zones to carry
goods to the instantaneous
ton now barred by the Neutrality
Act. He also has argued that the
United States justifably could es-
