Senator Carter Glass of Virginia.

serted. when asked by a newspaper
man for comment on the world
situation:
I'D like to see Germany wiped of
the face Of the earth, as I've said
many times before
If necessary. he declared. the
United States Navy should bolster
beleaguered Britain and shoot the
devil out of the axis powers.
As for aid short of war" give
Great Britain all possible, said the
veteran Democratic statesman.
The outspoAtn Senator, often a
sharp critic of New Deal policies,
especially of spending in disregard
of budgets. had warm praise for
President Roosevelt's speech Of last
Sunday night calling for America to
become "an arsenal for the democ-
racieS."
Hopes Aid Will Be in Time"
Senator Glass said he hoped
America would give effective aid in
time to save England
The fighting Virginian made these
comments at his apartment in the
Mayflower as he prepared to go to
the Capitol to attend a Democratic
caucus. Afterward Secretary of
Commerce Jones had planned a
luncheon in honor OF the Senator S
birthday.
I believe there is to be something
of the Sort said Senator Glass, re-
ferring to the luncheon and dis
claiming any intention OF Celebrat-
ing the date.
1t was just another day. he indi-
Gated declining to be drawn into
any discussion of how it felt to be
entering his 64th year.
Views on Spending.
While he favors spending what
ever is necessary for America S and
Britain's defense. the Senator, who
is chairman of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee. was nom
committal regarding a proposal that
a joint Senate and House commit
tee study budgetary needs.
The more We study" he re-
marked. the more we are likely to
appropriate"
The Senator always tries to ignore
his birthday anniversaries, but they
never are forgotten by others.
Last year he was given a signal
honor when the Carter Glass chair
of government was established at
Sweet Briar College, in Virginia.
The Senator was present. with a
committee of national and State
leaders. when the course bearing his
name was endowed.
