3 Plants
Seized
by Navy

NEW YORK, April 81 (UP).-
The seizure of the three Brewster
Aeronautical Corporation plants
by the government aroused specu-
lation today as to whether the
employment of enemy aliens, as
workers or in managerial positions,
was ire reason.
The reason given by Stephen T.
Early, President Roosevelt's press
and the navy depart
ment for taking over the plants
at Newark, N. j., townsville, Pa,
and New York-was "dissatisfac-
ton with management"
The Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION was reported to have been
investigating the personnel of the
New York plant at the behest OF
the navy. At least 100 persons
were questioned and one was
jailed.
The enemy alien theory was
additionally strengthened by the
recent charges of Senator Harry
F. Byrd CD of Virginia and r. j.
Thomas, president of the JAW
CIO, that enemy aliens were
employed by Brewster. Charles
Kerrigan, regional director Of the
JAW, and a Brewster employee
until last August, defended the
management. AS far as he knew,

IsoIdtionism in
Postwar Policy

CHICAGO, April p CUPl.-The
Republican Party discarded its ira
ditional isolationist policy today by
pledging support for a program OF
international cooperation in the
postwar world.
The step was taken by the Re-
publican national committee in a
resolution, regarded as a state
ment of party policy for the 1912
congressional campaigns. Whit h
called for about prosecution OF
the war.
Although the resolution was
termed a compromise between pre-
war Republican isolationists and
linterventioniSts, ii was accepted
jubilantly by followers Of Wendell
L. Willkie. 1910 presidential NOM
inee and head Of the intervention
list group.
WILLKIE APPROVES
In a statement telephoned from
New York. Willkie expressed sat-
isfaction with the resolution and
said IL committed the party to IAN
abandonment of isolationism."
Senator Robert Taft of Ohio,
who had drafted another resolu-
ton ignoring the question of post
war policy, said he thought the
internationalist plank was "a great
mistake"
The subcommittee resolution
was adopted unanimously.
Other sections of the resolution
called for prosecution of an Of
fensive war, "relentlessly and with
out reservation" recognition of no
peace except peace with victory
and preservation of the two-party
system of government.
II demanded reduction Of non
essential government expenditures
and expressed opposition to ANY
effort by the administration to use
the war emergency as an excuse
for the extension in domestic af-
fairs Of unsound economic pam
aceas."
The resolution charged lack of
organization was an outstanding
weakness" of the administration
and urged duct of the war

WAGES EXCLUDED

Wages will be excluded from the
price fixing order, officials said.
However, both labor leaders and
representatives OF war agencies in
Washington expect the order ulti-
Imately to influence wages, and
that II will tend to stabilize them.
The order, they said, will go a
long step toward freezing the cost
of living, and may later be used
by the war labor board as yard
stick when it considers demands
of labor for wage increases.
OPA has fixed wholesale prices
tof canned fruits and vegetables,
and the order will translate that
action into terms Of price tags on
articles on the counters of retail
stores. Clothing also will be
brought unler price control.
