With such a program as this, the

Administration Faces
Test Of Strength on
New War Power Bill
COP Opens House Fight
To Block Consideration
Of Tariff Suspensions
BY the Associated Press.

~ the ASsOclateo Press.
President Roosevelt's request
for broad wartime power to sus-
pend tariff and immigration reg
ulations developed today into a
potential major battle for the
dying days of the 77th Congress
and the administrations first
test OF strength since the Novem-
ber 8 elections.
A determined Republican drive to
block consideration of the measure
this year gathered headway as the
House Ways and Means Committee
called several top-ranking Govern.
ment officials to discuss the need
for such legislation.
Leaders Asked to Appear.
Among those asked to appear were
War Production Chief Donald Nell
son, Attorney General Biddle, Un-
dersecretary of War Patterson, As
sistant Secretary of the Navy For
restal, Rear Admiral Emory S.
Land, chairman of the War Ship
ping Administration, and Milo Per-
kins, chairman of the Board Of
Economic Warfare.
The bill, designed ito facilitate, to
the extent required for the effective
prosecution of the war, the free
movement Of persons, property and
information into and out of the
United States" was introduced by
Representative Doughton. Demo-
crat. of North Carolina at the Pres
ident's request.
Specifically, 1t would give the Chief
Executive the authority to suspend
'in whole or in part those
laws or regulations" which in his
opinion interfere with the war ef-
fort by imposing tariffs and taxes
on imports and exports and those
regulating the entrance and de-
parture of individuals.
But, even as the committee called
Its executive session, opponents
raised protest that the measure
would go much further, that it con-
stituted step toward totalitarian-
ism, that it would break down the
tariff and immigration laws.
Foes Outline Stand.
The time is too short between
now and the end of this session to
give this measure the consideration
it deserves" declared Representative
Knutson, Republican, of Minnesota,
member of the committee.
The President" he contended,
has all the powers he needs to
prosecute the war. I will fight any
attempt that is made to get the
committee to report 1t out this
year"
From Representative Woodruff,
Republican, of Michigan, another
committee member, came the asser-
tion that the bill would open the
way to an influx from other lands
that this country couldn't possibly
absorb"
Il am not yet ready" he said, "to
make the President q virtual die
tator."
Earlier Representative Gearhart,
Republican, OF California described
the measure as the ultimate in to-
talitarianism"
Mr.. Doughton himself said that he
had taken no stand as yet but would
support the measure If Its neces-
sary for the prosecution OF the
war"

Guild Loan 10 Help
Purchase Aliquippa

But Ownership Of Poper
Reopened After Strike
Is Denied by OfficioI
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-The Amer
lean Newspaper Guild (CIO) an
nounced yesterday that it loaned
to the Aliquippa, Pa, Publishing
Co. part Of the capital with which
that company purchased the plant
Of the Aliquippa Gazette after the
newspaper had suspended for 11h
months during a guild strike.
This loan was authorized by the
international Executive Board of
the Newspaper Guild when it be-
came apparent that sun1cient pri-
vate capital was not available to
restore the paper to publication, u
said Sam B. Eubanks, ANG executive
vice president, in a formal state
ment.
THE loan of itself was not enough
to finance the company. 1t was
supplemental to the publishers own
investment"
T. F. Mcdonald, representing the
former publisher, said in a state
ment to Editor 81 Publisher, news
paper trade weekly, that the com
pany was owned and operated by
the local guild and that he had
leased the building to the guild
group and sold it equipment on q
small down payment.
I'VE h:ve sold the paper to the
guild" Mr.. Mcdonald said. THE
people of Aliquippa have lost q free
and uncontrolled daily paper. They
have gotten a paper owned by, con-
trolled by and published by a selfish
interest"
Guild Statement.
In the guild statement, Mr.
Eubanks said:
The current issue of Editor and
Publisher carries a statement that
the Aliquippa Publishing Co. now
publishing the Aliquippa News-Ga-
zette is owned and operated by the
local guild and quotes T. F. Nc
Donald as saying, I'VE have sold the
paper to the guild
Both of these statements are
false. The guild is not in the pub
fishing business. 1t does not own the
Aliquippa Publishing Co."
Explaining the guild loan, Mr.
Eubanks continued:
The loan does not give the guild
any voice in editorial policy OF
management, nor is the guild seek
ing any such interest"
Publication of q semi-weekly tab
loid paper in Aliquippa by the guild
during the strike was suspended fol-
lowing the loan, he said.
Backs Eubank's Version.

Allied Convoy Losses
Declared Small in
African Operations
so Axis Subs Mossed
In Area; New Drive in
Mediterranean Seen
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 18.-An authori-
tative British source declared today
that losses in the great Allied con-
voys used for the expedition IN
North Africa were remarkably small
despite the enemy's known concen-
tration of so submarines against
that operation alone.
His statement was made in pre-
dieting further important naval
operations in the Mediterranean.
Except for one ship, all vessels
in the Allied conveys had landed
troops and material before they
were damaged, the informant said.
Prime Minister Churchill an
nounced last Sunday that Is enemy
submarines had been sunk of North
Africa. Others have been reported
damaged.
The informant, who cannot be
named, said 1t was indicated at
least 80 Axis submarines were sight
ed between Gibraltar and Bizerte
during the passage of the Allied
conveys and this number later was
increased to so.
British submarines, he continued.
are giving the same attention to
Axis efforts to reinforce the con-
tingents in Tunisia as they did to
Marshal Erwin Rommels earlier
efforts to get supplies across the
Mediterranean to his forces in
Egypt. He predicted it would be very
difficult from supply standpoint
for the Axis to maintain foothold
in Africa. Bengasi, he asserted, al
ready has beeen 'immobilized" as
supply point, and Tripoli, the chief
Axis base in Libya, no doubt will
be dealt with pretty thoroughly by
our strong air forces which daily are
acquiring bases closer and closer to
that point"
