 Warns of Shut Downs
NOn.Deiense Industries Must Discontinue Normal Lines-ConversOn Into Defense Work Objective

A study of methods for distribu- ton of defense contracts to small manufacturers and sub-contractors, who now face disaster because of lack of priority ratings for critical materials is underway. Floyd cd. lum, director of the newly created Contract Distribution Service of the O. P. M. is expected to appear be- fore the committee at an early date.
 Statements received by cong. Smith from Connecticut manufac- turers, especially in the Fifth Con- gressional District, describing 3pe- clflc instances of imminent shut downs were read to the committee.
 Tt is the aim of our committee to assist in the efforts of the War and Navy Departments and the Of- flee of Production Management to m eet the problem" said Cong. Smith. Speed is essential if we are to prevent the ruin, because of inability now to obtain defense sub- contracts and their corresponding priority ratings on critical raw materials, of thousands of small manufacturers, who by their in- genuity and versatility have in the past managed successful shops.
 "It Is quite true that the major ity of the manufacturers, large and small, must discontinue their nor- nal line of products, but 1t is our purpose to convert as many as pos- sible into cogs of the defense ma chine, thereby keeping ali these fac- tories and their workers busy, and by the same token speeding the production of needed material" he continued.
 Brig. General H. K. Rutherford, executiv, officer for the Under Sec- retary of War testified yesterday.

counter-espionage service to deal
with neemy agents and fifth colum-
nists. This has not been done as yet,
largely for lack of funds. There is
little real coordination between the
F.. B. I. naval intelligence and mill
tary intelligence.
Responsible TO President.
What is needed is. first of all, a
special intelligence service to act as
Co-ordinator responsible directly to
the President, acting with his au-
thority. and provided with personnel
to conduct Investigations of its own
when necessary.
Next, the expansion of the special
branch of the F. B. l. by the addi-
ton of personnel trained in particu-
lar branches of counter-espionage or
possessing particular qualifications
therefor.
Next, give the Naval and Military
Intelligence Services more money
and more personnel for work within
their respective branches, and see to
1t that the spheres of activity of all
intelligence services are sharply de-
fined, that cooperation is assured,
and that suitable direction is pro-
vided for combined effort where
these are necessary.
Well-Trained Spy Service.
"a Organize a competent, intelli-
gent. well-trained espionage service,
as distinct from sabotage, for work
in enemy countries There is no limit
to what can be done if money is
available.
We can do nothing without &C
curate information; we cannot hope
to anticipate the enemy's moves un-
less we have some hint of what they
are going to be. Much of Hitler's
success has come because he strikes
suddenly and without warning. The
record of American intelligence serv-
ices in the last war suggests very
strongly that our people possess the
qualities of imagination and ingenu-
ity which will bring them success in
this field again.
In fact it is just because we are
so we'll adapted for work of this kind
in every way that we ought to un-
dertake all these efforts without de-
lay. We have a population of wide
racial background, with varied lin
guistic abilities and possessing a
high general standard of education.
For Every Nazi, An American Agent.
OF that game We should, OF course,
make the most thorough study. One
of the first things to be done is a
complete examination of German
methods in order not only to combat
them, but to profit by them and i'm
prove upon them.
The result at which We should
aim is that nowhere in the world
should there be a German agent at
work trying to destroy our civiliza-
ton without an American agent at
hand opposing and counteracting
his efforts. And we might add the
hope that there would also be Ameri-
can agents at work where no Ger
man agents would learn Of their
efforts until too late.
Here is battlefield where Ameri-
ca can be pre-eminent. 1t is just as
important a part Of modern war as
tanks and battleships. 1t is bat

too great nicely in these matters is
nearing its end. The stakes In this
struggle are our way of life, our
civilization And while we ought
not. for our own sakes, to do dis
creditable and dishonorable things,
there Is wide difference between
such standard and that which
prevailed in the good old days when
there was such a thing as interna-
tional law and the comfy of nations.
Why Don't We Do Likewise?
We know quite we'll what sort of
standards our enemies possess. We
know that their leader has set forth
as one of his basic principles the
use of the lie We know that his
agents are busy everywhere in the
world, undermining our interests,
cajoling, bribing and promising;
winning over key men here and
there, terrifying others into inaction.
All too often he succeeds in using
our own news channels for this pur-
pose. We know that he exploits
every internal discomfort, every dis
Sident element within the states
which are, or may become, opposed
to him.
We have learned the tremendous
value OF the initiative. of offensive
action, in modern warfare; but do
we apply this lesson to the political
field Of battle, which is just as i'm
portant as the military? If not, why
not?
Why should we remain always on
the receiving end of this sort OF
thing?
Millions for Propaganda.
What is needed is a $500 900, 900
appropriation for propaganda. coun-
ter-espionage and sabotage-yes
sabotage This money could be spent
in any number of useful ways.
Some of these might be, roughly
as follows:
% Organize. support and keep
going groups of Nazi haters in the
conquered parts of Europe. Don't t
allow sabotage of arms plants, rail-
ways, communications, shipyards
oil refineries and the like to be left
to local hatreds and local enterprise
(2) Start vigorous propaganda
for freedom and democracy. Don't
just repeat old slogans. Give hope
to those who are enslaved and cour-
age to those who are still free.

This war will not be won by a
single weapon or a single method. 1t
will be won by the strong. the deter
mined and the high of heart, using
every weapon and every method
available to inflict an injury on the
enemy.
Moreover, this is a field in which

we can begin to act at once. Our
Army is not yet ready, our land
based air force is likewise in the
throes of expansive growth. But our
Navy is ready, and our political
weapons can be gotten ready very
quickly. Add these to our industrial
contribution, and We shall begin to
weigh the scales of war to real pur-
