Members
Draw Line at
| $500 Gold Braid
B, the Associated Press.

BY Lle hSSOCldltu FtcoS.
House members who voted billions
for defense without murmur drew
the line today at giving Army and
Navy officers serving as White
House aides $500 year extra to
meet the cost of special uniforms
and keeping their gold braid un-
tarniShed.
A bill to authorize the pay in
crease was tabled by the House
Military Affairs Committee. Bene-
ficiaries would have been the Presi-
dents naval and military aides and
other officers at the White House;
the Army chief of staff and the
chief of naval operations.
Some committee members, OBJ
jecting to the increase, said the Off
GERS involved wore their special uni
forms only at one or two White
House receptions each year. Repre-
sentative Kilday, Democrat, of
Texas, remarked that even so the
officers had to buy them.
They can't rent their outfits like
Congressman do when they go to the
White House." the Texan added.

Senator Glass, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, declared in a Senate Foreign
Relations Committee hearing late
today he favors all possible aid to
Great Britain even if it provokes
a challenge of war from Germany,
and I'm further in favor of accept
ing the challenge as soon as it is
made"
Meanwhile. after a meeting of
Democratic members of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, Chair
man Bloom announced tentative
agreement on four amendments to
the lease-lend bill, including one
prohibiting the use of United States
vessels as conveys.
The other proposed changes would
limit the life of the powers granted
President Roosevelt to lend or lease
war supplies to two years; require
the President to report to Congress
all operations under the law and
require him to consult with the
chief of staff of the Army and the
chief Of Naval Operations prior to
taking any action under the au-
thority granted him by the admin
istration bill.
Senator Glass assertion came not
long after Senator Johnson, Re-
publican. of California, a leading
isolationist, had demanded that
Congress face the issue of whether
it wants to go to war, "but don't
let's go off on a tangent with this
bill, which some of us think sets up
a dictatorship"
The Californian was referring to
the administrations lease-lend plan
for aid to Britain, on which Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau
had been testifying all day.
In Accord on Peace.
There is just one thing want,
and that is to keep this country out
of war" said Senator johnson, near
the end of the day.
"You and me BOTH" Secretary
Morgenthau interposed. 1T is my
most fervent prayer that we stay at
peace"
1--WE will play ball together on
that" rejoined Senator Johnson,
but he added:
IF we can believe all the people
outside this chamber tell us about
the danger of Hitler coming over
here and attacking us. I wonder
why all of them don't have us get
into this war now"
He paused to pay tribute to Sem
ator Glass as one who has frankly
stated how far he is willing to go.
A few minutes earlier, Senator
johnson argued that if this form of
aid is so important, and if it means
saving the United States, why
shouldn't you go and give everything
you have to Great Britain?"
Secretary Wouldn't Approve.
The Secretary replied that he has
to look at the situation as the Ma
tion's fiscal officer, and as such did
not believe he should approve orders
for further British supplies if the
customer is without further money
to pay. He apparently had in mind
the cash provisions of the Neutrality
Act.
The Secretary told the Senator he
would be the first to criticize him if
he approved orders now on credit
basis.
Senator johnson interrupted to
say he doubted If he would ever
criticize him.
well, you would have cause to-"
the Secretary added.
Mr.. Morgenthau said the lease
lend plan requires modification of
the Neutrality Act, but disagreed
with Senator Johnson that 1t

| Nozi Air Force Put
| At 81 Divisions of
| Combat Planes

An informed source here re-
vealed today that Germany has
an air force of 81 divisions OF
combat planes, composed of 49,
600 first-line ships and $4,000
in reserve.
The same source disclosed
that the Germans have a force
of more than 10000 trained
pilots at present and thus far
have not used a pursuit ship
of date later than 1887. This,
it was pointed out, creates a
suspicious situation, which in
dicates the Nazis are saving
their latest and most modern
equipment for a great assault
on the British Isles. From
various sources of information,
as this expert pieced together
the picture, it would seem the
major attempt at invasion will
come in April or May.
In actual air strength, it was
said, the Germans have 4-to-l
superiority over the British.
However, reports from abroad
indicate. that Nazi losses have
been at about the same ratio.

CAIRO, Jan. 28.-An italian gar
rison has been driven from the
important Fezzan Oasis in south
western Libya by Free French
forces from the Chad region in
Equatorial Africa, Gen. Georges
Catroux reported by radio tonight.
This means new drive against
the Italians, in the interior of Libya,
in conjunction with the British Of
fensives along the Mediterranean
coast in northern Libya and in
East Africa.
Italians Caught Unaware.
Gen. Catroux, an aide of Free
French" Gen. Charles de Gaulle,
said a French camel corps detach-
ment made the sudden stab deep
into the Libyan interior and caught
the Italians unaware.
The detachment, he said, was as
sembled in the Chad region, on the
Libyan frontier with Equatorial
Africa. early this month.
Crossing the desert by night and
hiding by day, he said, it reached
Fezzan, 300 miles from it's base, in
mid-January and raided the re-
glonal capital. Marzouk, in a sudden
daring assault which caught its
Fascist defenders by surprise.
New Fighting Front.
This drive, in effect, opens a new
fighting front between Britain's two
major offensives-in North Africa
and East Africa.
Although Britain's imperial and
allied forces are widely separated
over about 1000 miles of Africa
their ofensives now are in an arc
south and east from the Mediter-
ranean coast through Libya, the
heart of the continent in the Chad
area and the bordering Anglo-Egyp-
ton Sudan almost to the Red Sea
in Italian Eritrea.

For Conscientious Obiector.
BY II E Associated Press

BY tfe Associated Press.
Work camps for conscientious OBJ
jectors to military service will be
opened soon in seven States for an
initial induction of approximately
1000 men from the November, De-
cember and January draft quotas.
The National Service Board for
Religious Directors, which will op-
crate the camps in cooperation
with the Government, said one of
the first to be opened would be an
abandoned c. c. C. camp in Pataps-
CO State Park, near Baltimore.
Under an agreement which the
service board said was permitted in
the draft law religious groups such
as the Quakers and Mennonites will
maintain the camps at an estimated
monthly cost of $35 per man, for
"4-E" class registrants who object
to any kind of Army service. If GER
titled for that class, they will serve
out their conscription periods on
forestry and similar projects.
Other camps listed for early OPEN
ing are at Onekema, Mich; Coop

Chief Of Staff
ThinksAidb Bill
Will Turn Trick
Can Defeat Nuzis
Without Man Power
From U. S., He Says
By the Associated Press.

Gen. George c. Marshall, Army
chief of staff, expressed belief today
that Great Britain could defeat Ger
many with the aid which the United
States would give under the lease
lend bill now before Congress.
He gave this view at a press con-
ference short time after Secretary
Morgenthau, appearing before the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, had said Britain, Greece and
China cant continue to fight" un-
less Congress enacts the bill
Gen. Marshall, who had appeared
before the House Foreign Affairs
Committee earlier in the day, also
told reporters that all indications
were that Adolf Hitler would prob
ably make an all-out attempt to in
wade England this spring.
Won't Elaborate Views.
do you believe that Great Britain
with the aid of the United States
could whip Germany?" Gen. Mar
shall was asked.
Yes" the lean chief of staff re-
piled.
do you think she could defeat
Germany with all air except man
power?"
Il think So" Gen. Marshall re-
piled. That certainly is our hope"
The general then was asked spe-
officially whether he believed that
Britain could defeat Germany with
the aid contemplated under the bill.
He replied yes" but declined to
elaborate his views.
Gen. Marshall said indications
were that Germany probably would
launch an offensive against Britain
In April or May and that any at
tempt at an invasion undoubtedly
would begin with a tremendous
aerial attack.
Without American aid, he de-
clared, Britain's situation would be
extremely hazardous.
Il think it's a serious situation
one of the most critical periods in
the history of the world" the gen.
eral continued.
Germany, he declared, had never
yet exerted her full air power. The
only way to get more planes to
Britain is to expedite production,
he said.
Army Can't Spare Equipment.
Can any existing equipment be
spared to Britain?" he was asked.
The Army was not planning to
spare 1t, Gen. Marshall said, adding.
we have a need for all the mod
ern equipment that has been de-
livered to U.S."
Asked about the status OF the
United States Army Air Corps, the
chief of staff replied that it was
adequate to hold off any enemy
which could be visualized at the
present moment under conditions
existing at the present moment.
And in event of a British defeat
next month";" a reported questioned.
Its insufficient" Gen. Marshall
replied.
He said the Army Air Corps had
NOT yet completed the development
of Is air force groups, and a larger
expansion to 54 groups would not.
be completed until April /, 1912, at
the earliest.
Quantity Production Necessary.
Quantity production of medium
bombers, urgently needed because
the Army did not have modern
planes of this type, is just now be-
ginning, Gen. Marshall said.
Deliveries on 384 Curtiss pursuit
planes of an advanced model are
scheduled to begin about February
l, the general said. He explained
that the Army had agreed last spring
to accept these advanced-model
planes in lieu of other planes re-
leased to the British.

Unlimited Outlay Denied.
Secretary Morgenthau during the
afternoon session of the committee
denied that the administrators S
lease-lend bill will lead to unlimited
expenditures.
Asked by Senator Nye, Repub-
ican, of North Dakota, if it was
unlimited, the secretary said it was
not, because Il take it the Army,
Navy and the Defense Commission
will have to come to Congress for
the appropriations
When Senator Nye made the
point that no appropriation from
Congress would be required to en-
able the President to turn over ex-
isting military equipment, the Sec
retary replied he thought the Presi-
dent had answered that better
when he said he might also stand
on his head, but that he was not
contemplating doing so.
When Senator Nye asked if that
was the only answer, Secretary Nor
genthau added
Record BEST Answer"
'I think the best answer to you
and to 100000 American people
is his record of the past eight years"
The Treasury Secretary stood
firmly at the afternoon session by
his earlier statement that if this
bill fails to pass, England. China
and Greece will have to stop fight
ing.
Senator Clark. Democrat, of Mis-
souri, asked the Treasury head What
we are going to do with the old
debt" referring to the World War
obligations.
Mentally. I wrote that off long
ago. Mr.. Morgenthau replied.
The Senator followed up with a
query as to whether he proposed now
to mentally write of new credits.
Mr.. Morgenthau reiterated his
belief that if this bill will enable
England to stay in the fight while
America makes itself so strong mo
one will jump on us" it will be a
good investment.
Mr.. Morgenthau testified that
British citizens have arranged to sell
within IL months every bit" of the
property they own in the United
States to finance war contracts al
ready placed here.
Senator Clark said he was inter-
csted in learning whether Lord and
Lady Astor, who, he said he had
been informed, owned approximately
s1OO, O,00O,0 900 worth of real estate in
New York, planned to sell their
holdings
IF Lord and Lady Astor own real
estate in New York, their assets
will be on the auction block along
with all of the Others" Mr.. Nor
genthau replied.
He added, in response to another
question by Senator Clark, that this
would be true of property owned by
England's King and any of his fam
lily.
When Chairman George turned
to Senator Glass to ask if he had
any questions to put to the Secre-
tary, the Virginian, a strong sup
porter of aid to England, declared:
mo. made up my mind long ago.
and nothing has happened here to
change it,"
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa, sought to make the point
that the American taxpayers al
ready have made a contribution to
England's cause by American pur-
chases of gold.
"You will pardon me, if I dis
agree on that said Mr.. Morgen-
thau.

Halifax 10 Discuss
u. 5. Exports 10 Soviet
Believed Aiding Reich
But Hull Doubts Brituin's
Claim That Goods Enable
Russio to Supply Nozis
Earlier Story on Page 2.)

Viscount Halifax, the British Am
bassador, said today that he ex-
pected to take up with the State
Department in the immediate fu-
ture the question of exports to
Russia which Britain believes are
replacing Soviet shipments to Ger
many.
He talked with reporters after a
conference of nearly an hour with
Sumner Welles, Under Secretary OF
State. whom he had met in London
during Mr.. Welles fact-flndlng mis-
sion for President Roosevelt to
European capitals last spring.
Secretary Hull previously had
indicated that exports to Russia
were insufficient to be of any great
military value to Germany.
considerable Amount" Sent.
Lord Halifax said there has been
"a considerable amount" of Ameri-
can goods shipped to Russia and
that "there may be more in the
future"
THAT movement of goods he
said, "is one of the things we will
have to check on"
Replying to questions, the Am
bassador said he believed the goods
were reaching Germany through the
shipment of necessary supplies from
Russia as goods arrived at Vladivos-
tok to replenish Soviet stocks.
Lord Halifax said he believed
shipments also were being made to
Russia from various Latin American
countries.
Asked why the British had not in
stituted a blockade of Vladivostok,
Russias great Pacific port, the Am
bassador replied that presented
"other problems" which would have
to be taken into consideration.
May Discuss Cotton Exports.
IN reply to another question, he
said cotton was an important product
in the manufacture of munitions.
"If the figures on cotton ship
ments are substantial' he added,
they probably would be discussed
with this Government.
Secretary Hull told his press con-
ference the Government contlnu-
ouslv was studying possible benefits
to belligerents, direct or indirect,
through United States exports.
