United States
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
said some ConSidera ton had been
given to that. but asked Mr.. Willkie
if it might not discourage some of
the smaller nations still liable to
attack. For example. the Senator
mentioned the current German
threat 10 Bulgaria and the possi-
bility of Turkey being attacked
through that channel.
Mr.. Willkie said he realized the
amendment would reduce the fleXi-
bility of the bill. but said he was so
desirous of bringing about unity on
the subject. and so anxious to have
the bill passed by as nearly unani-

trust to Congress to broaden 1t later
if the need arose.
In urging that more deStroyers

Willkie said merchant ships are

After vigorously reSenting attacks
on the Dies Committee on IN
American Activities, the House this
afternoon, by an overwhelming rec
ord vote of 353 to 6. continued the
life of that group until April l, 1912.
The only votes cast against a
resolution re-creating the commit
tee were those of Representatives
Hook of Michigan, Dickstein of New
York. Scanlon of Pennsylvania,
Tenerowicz of Michigan Eliot of
Massachusetts,. all Democrats, and
Marcantonio, American Labor, OF
New York.
Immediately after adopting the
resolution, which definitely told the
committee to continue its work OF
exposing subversive movements in
this country, the House appropriated
s150000 out of its contingent fund
to pay the expenses of the pro-
longed investigation.
Bitter Debate Precedes Vote.
Adoption of the resolution was
preceded by heated debate, which
at one point resulted in the House
expunging from its official record
statements made by Representative
Dickstein, with respect to the COM
mittee's previous activities.
The remarks of Representative
DickStein, which were eXpunged
from the record on a vigorous viva
voce vote in which not a dissenting
voice was heard. included charges
that the Dies Committee already
had "squandered" at least 100000
of American taxpayers money, and
that 110 Fascist organizations in
to the back door" of the COM
mittee.
Representative Dies Immediately
rose from his seat and pointing
finger at Mr.. Dickstein. shouted:
You know that is false"
Asks Words Be Taken Down.
About the same moment. Repre-
sentative Rankin, Democrat, of Mis-
sisSippi demanded that Mr. Dick
STEMS words be taken doWn"-a
parliamentary move designed to
have them stricken from the record
Speaker Rayburn held that Mr..
Dicksteins remarks impunged the
motives of the Dies Committee. and
Immediately Representative Rankin
moved that all of the remarks of

WASHINGTON - The evolu- tion taking place in education under the impetus of national de fense is not just a spontaneou burst of patriotism in the chs.S of modern educators.
 It is a planned program still a little hit-or-misS perhaps, be- cause of the speed with which it had to be set in motion, but a planned program, nevertheless.
 The Office of Education of the F d-ral Security Agency, under the direction of Commissioner John w. Studebaker; the Nation al Education Association; Con grass: state and city boards of education, and numerous other agencies andehdiViduals have act ed as the spurt. The program is now taking definite shape.
 The lstzst development is a $9,00O.O00 project in which GA en- gineering schools in 35 states, the Distrcit of Columbia and Puerto Rico are offering 25O intensive courses to turn out within few months 25,O00 industrial design CTS, inspectors and supervisors. These skilled men of tomorroW's defense industry will be select ed by the colleges. Their tuition will be paid from government funds.

 A little older still is the na- sion-wide vocational school pro- gram. Tn off-ring short courses of intensive training to both stu dents and adults it already has turned hundreds of thousands of skilled and semi-skilled workers into defense factories.
 The National Education Asso- citation and the Office of Educa- tion have been issuing bull etins hand over fist to instruct every one from kindergarten teacher to college president in the practical ways which education may adapt itself to meeting defense needs.
 Commissioner Studebaktr in public addresses, pamphlets and the official journal of his office, has given the green light to the entire profession and through his department and many other edu- cation agencies is trying to get all the way out to the educational grass roots with practical sug- gestions for changing the three R's into Defense with a capital D.
