(Ace) Parker, voted the outstanding
player in the National Football
League last year, today signed A
two-year contract with the Brook
lyn football Dodgers.

tract in football"

The German hit on the British
vessel. Secretary Knox said, killed
about 80 men and destroyed about
20 bombing airplanes.
An aircraft carrier, he noted, was
much less heavily armored than a
battleship, and in addition he said

fighter planes. 1t was stocked"
with bombers and its relatively few
fighters were already aloft when
she was bombed.
The bomb explosion, Mr.. Knox
told his press conference, failed to
affect either the vessels power or

Statement
Reiterotes Claim
British Assets Here
Are 5000 ,000, 900
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
By J. A OIFARY

The Treasury Department this
afternoon assured the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee that Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau's
original estimate of 100000, 900 of
British assets in this country in
cluded all the assets of British citi-
| zens which can be converted into
dollar assets.
Senator Byrnes, Democrat of
South Carolina, presented a letter
from Acting Secretary of the
Treasury Herbert E. CASTOR. deny
ing testimony given yesterday by
Gen. Robert E. Wood. an opponent
of the leaselend plan of aid to
Britain, who mentioned several COM
panieS whose assets he said "evi-
IDENTIFY did not appear in Secretary
Morgenthau's figures
The committee also heard two
more witnesses against the bill this
afternoon-Dr. Herbert Wright. pro-
fesSor of international law a. Catho-
lie University, and Gerald L. K.
Smith, national chairman of the
Committee of One Million.
Mr.. Smith asserted the bill would
give the President the authority
to bankrupt our nation"
DR.. Wright favored aid to Brit
ain provided it avoids involvement
in war.
Letter Held Important.
The letter from Mr.. CASTOR was
an important development. because
the need for speedy passage of the
leaSe-lend bill rests on the Treasllrys
testimony that England will use
up its dollar assets in this country
when it pays for goods heretofore
ordered and is unable to place
further orders for what it needs
to resist invasion.
After Gen. Wood had suggested
yesterday that certain British as
sets in American companies evil
IDENTIFY did not appear in the Treas
ury figures, Senator Byrnes Ques-
toned the Treasury. and received
the following reply this afternoon:
My Dear Senator:
Il am glad to answer your oues-
ton about yesterdays testimony by
Gen. Robert E. Wood, who told your
committee that large companies,

There always is some opposition
