WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Con.
ceding that the lease-lend bill
entails risk of war, DR.. James
B. Conant, president of Harvard
University, nevertheless told the
Senate foreign relations committee
today that enactment of the
measure is essential because the
hope of America to maintain the
free way of life" rests in defeat
of Germany.
Asked by Senator Vandenberg
(R) of Michigan if he would &c
so far as to urge this nation to
go to war to bring about that de-
feat. Doctor Conant replied:
81 would, II 1t were absolutely
necessary rs a last STEP"
WILLKIE TO TAKE STAND
Doctor Conant gave his testi-
mony as the committee began its
final day of hearings on the legis-
lation with Wendell L. Willkie. the
COPS 1910 presidential nominee,
slated to take the stand as the
closing witness with a first-hand
report on conditions in Britain.
Willkie flew to Washington today.
America, Doctor Conant argued,
will be put in peril of succumbing
TO the Nazi totalitarian philosophy
if Britain falls.
..The Axis powers must be de-
feated," he said.
Conceding that there is some
force to arguments that the bill
may lead to war, Doctor Conant
said:
ANY action involves risk.
The adoption of the bill is no
exception, but what must be
weighed is the magnitude of the
disaster which Is threatened.
HAZARDS SMALL"
ITO me the hazards involved
In this legislation are small In
comparison with the pOssibili-
ties which will confront us as
nation IL the Nazi power is not
defeated and the destructive
revolutionary wave Is not turned
back"
He denied that the measure is
in itself a totalitarian bill
THE extension of special pow
ers to the chief executive in
time Of emergency has been a
recurring element In the sue
cessful operation of this country
for over $50 years." he said.
Asserting that undue emphasis
has been placed on possible Nazi
invasion of America. Doctor CO.
nant said that an Axis victory
might lead to turning our flank
in South America and the growth
of Nazi revolutionary anti
Christian philosophy"

RE you playing the new game
"A 1t Is called "smear Henry

1t Is quite popular among the
war mongers.
You see, Henry Is that rara avis
known as an American--an almost
extinct genus.
He is glad to make airpIanes for
America--and without a dollar of
profit either.
But he does not want to make
airplanes for foreign countries,
lest those planes return to plague
us some day,-lest our present
friends become our future enemies.
1t has happened that way.
Within less than ten years after
America had fought side by side
with France against England In
the Revolutionary War. we were
fighting In hand to hand battles
at sea AGAINST France en-
account of Frances arrogant in

But no matter II we continue

for fighting their own fight. Henry

Profitless planes for Americas
defense Is his motto. but no Ford

WASHINGTON. Fe b. IL. -
Whether Gen. Walter G. Krivitsky.
once feared Soviet secret agent, OF
late years fear-stricken fugitive
from his homeland, was suicide
or a murder victim was being de-
cided by officials today. He was
found. a bullet in his head, in q
hotel room here.
Coroner A. Magruder MacDon-
aid had written a suicide certih-
cate when Louis Waldman, KriMf-
skisyy,s New York attorney, arrived
in Washington with a declaration
that Krivitsky had feared death at
the hands of the far-reaching arm
of Russia's OGPU (secret police),
and demanded a thorough inyesti-
CATION by the FBI.
The coroner, after reading three
notes left by the dead man, and
declaring all available evidence
pointed to self-destruction, agreed
to withhold the death certificate
and hold the case open.
LIKE TROTSKY CASE
81 want to see that this Is not
another Trotsky case" Waldman
declared. He referred to the
assassination in Mexico City of
Leon Trotsky, former Soviet
high chief and, like Krivitsky. a
fugitive from Russia. Trotsky
was declared by friends to have
been victim of the OGPB. -
Krivitsky for IL years was an
agent of the Soviet military intelli-
gence, and in 1889 had risen to be
director of its western European
section. with headquarters in Ber-
lin and Amsterdam. He broke
with the Stalinist regime at that
time over policies. was deprived Of
his Soviet citizenship, and became
a fugitive from the OGPU agents
whom he formerly supervised.
Waldman conceded the "circum-
stantial evidence" indicated suicide
the physical appearance of the
body, the character of the fatal
wound and the notes.
LETTER TO ATTORNEY
One note, written in English,
was addressed to Waldman; one,
a long letter written in Russian.
was addressed to the dead mans
wife, Tonia. and son, Alexis, Z
years old; the third, written In
German. was to Susan Lafo of
New York City.
Waldman identified Miss 'Lafo'
as Suzanne La Toilette, who, he
said. is a cousin of Senator Robert
M. La Toilette (P) of Wisconsin,
and magazine writer.

British Experts Say
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE
United States and Great Britain
have tentatively agreed on specifi-
cations for new types of fighting
airplanes believed capable of with
standing the onslaught of the Ger
man air force, official aviation
sources revealed today.
American and British military
authorities have decided to rede-
sign present pursuit models to
equip them with series of 20
millimeter cannon, it was dis
closed.
Fighting aircraft equipped with
these cannon will be able TO shoot
down the most heavily armored
airplane, according to British ex-
perts.
TO GO ON ALL PLANES
Recent conf ences among
American and British officials and
of the aircraft in
dustry have resulted in a tentative
agreement to make these cannon
standard equipment on'virtually all
fighting planes.
During the earlier stages of the
war before the Germans had es-
tablished air bases in France and
the Low Countries, Nazi aircraft
was forced to fly a considerably
greater distance to attack Eng
land. German airplanes up to that
time were required to sacrifice a
certain amount of armor plate be-
cause of the weight of extra gaso-
line needed for longer flights.

The two youths were shot by
Patrolman Leo Kinney, al, who
awakened to find the pair prowling
in his home at 5293 Bedford ave-
nue.. They told police they en-
tered the darkened house by
breaking the door after ringing
two door bells and receiving no
response.
Kinney. who was asleep prepare
tory to going on duty. was awak-
ened by the bells and arrived at
the door just as the two youths
were breaking in.
Kinney shouted to the youhts to
put up their hands and shot Irving
in the shoulder as both dived out
of a bedroom window. He shot
Collister after chasing him into an
alley then ran around in front of
the house to fire at Sutherland.

Sutherland Irving was arrested
after walking two miles to his
home, his shoulder bleeding pro-
fusely. His father called police.

craft and that the 20-mm. cannon
was the best weapon to combat
the latest German planes.
The United States is already
building a fighter carrying a 81

the smaller cannon better adapted
to aerial combat.
Fighters can carry more 20-mm.
guns as well as 100 rounds of am
munition for each gun. The heavier
37-mm. cannon allows the airplane
to carry only 30 shells for each
gun.
SHELL EXPLOSIVE
A shell fired from 20-mm. can
non is explosive. and the British
experts predict that this weapon
will be powerful enough to shoot
down any airplane that Germany
can build in the future.
These experts explain that if
German builders increase the
afTaef on their planes, they will be
required to sacrifice speed and
Haneuverbility.
