In Peace as Well as War
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE,, Greg, June 1S.-
Justice william o. Douglas of the
Supreme Court peered beyond the
war last night and saw new world
based on cooperative undertaking.
In an address to the Oregon State
Grange Convention, the justice, va
cationing in his home State, said:
The era of peace must be con-
ceived in terms of cooperative un-
dertaking rather than an imperial
istic one-whether that Imperialism
be militaristic or economic. 1t must
eradicate the disease of aggression
by going to the root of the infection.
I'VE must somehow find in the
more relaxing days Of the future
peace that degree Of fulsome CO.
operative action which is so readily
achieved In war. We must make GER
tain that the cooperative pattern of
today carries over into the tomor-
row"
Men, women and children have
enlisted in this war, and the Coop
erative spirit mas spread around the
world, wherever there is aggression,
he said. continuing:
This is, indeed. the peoples war
the war of peoples fighting to be
free

Raid Threat Much Less.
Mr.. Stimson's comment on the
threat of reprisal raids on our
Pacific coast was:
Temporarily, I would say there
is much less threat of air raids
on our coasts, as a result of these
losses"
The War Secretary on two pre-
vious occasions warned that the
bombing of Toxic presented oppor-
tunity to the Japs to make face
saving raids" on the Pacific Coast,
and he even included Washington as
a possible point of aerial attack.
Despite the threat of raids which
had hung over the West Coast in
recent weeks, Mr.. Stimson said the
matter of fireworks displays at July
4 celebrations was one which
should be decided by local defense
commanders. He made it clear that
the defense commanders in this
area had opposed the usual July 4
fireworks and celebration in WASH
ington. Announcement that the Gel
ebration would not be held here
was made yesterday.
Here I was advised" he explained,
that it had better not be done, on
words received from 1t. Gen. Hugh
A. Drum, in command Of the East
ern Defense Area, and Brig. Gen
John T. Lewis, in command of the
Washington Defense District"
Hundreds of Airmen.
Mr.. Stimson in reporting on the
Battle of Midway said he had
studied detailed reports sent in
from American flyers and even with
all the information available at Of
fetal headquarters, it was dificult
to obtain more than a general idea
of the results.
The contact in this battle was
made by hundreds of airmen in fast
planes, he explained.
With the pilots flying 800 feet a
second over their targets, he said,
they had very brief opportunity for
observation.
Secretary Stimson disclosed that
the Navys airplane carriers have
not returned to their base and are
still operating, under silence orders.
Full reports cannot be received, he
said, until the carriers return.

He offered that observation In
making 1t clear that the day of the

spite the havoc wrought against
them recently by torpedo planes
and that the Navy intended to con-
tinue work on battleships already
started.
At the same time Representative

In q formal report the House
listed 1,009 ,245 tons of fighting ships
built since 1884 now in service and

Passage of the expansion bill, de-
signed to double the size of the fleet

In addition, 1t would provide fol-

to have $4,000 persons and in Wash

10000 in Great Britain.
Mr.. Henderson points out that in
Great Britain. where a somewhat
similar organization IS set up to
deal With prices and priorities.
10000 persons are employed. The
population there is about one-third
what it 's in this country.
Talk of a "gestapo" numbering
100000 to be set up for the OPA
with the funds asked of Congress is,
according to Mr.. Henderson, myth.
The total inspectors staff planned Is
5000, less than two per county. Yet
the report was spread that the
100 900 figure was what the OPA
wanted.
The organization will have IN It's
employ also a number Of business
specialists, lawyers and economists.
The fact that the cost of living
actually was reduced last month in
this country, except in the case OF
some foodstuffs which were not
under the control of the OPA, is
given as an evidence that its work
has been effective. Indeed, the
claim is made that the OPA has
already saved the American people
some $4,000, 900, 900 by keeping prices
down. More than 5000, 1000 900, it is
said, has been saved on steel alone,
for war construction, as compared to
the prices paid during the last war.
Resentment on Hill Strong.
At the Capitol the belief exists
that the President will keep Mr..
Henderson on the job as price ad-
ministrator. even though the senti-
ment on the Hill is against him.
The expressed intention of some Of
| the members is, however, to clip Mr..
Henderson's wings as far as possible.
The feeling of resentment is pretty
strong. AS one important Demo-
cratic leader expressed it: He tMr.
Henderson, has forgotten who made
him"
The Republicans attack Mr.. Hen
derson because they believe that he
is building up an unnecessarily large
force, and because they do not like
some of his rulings. They insist he
has made mistakes regarding sugar
and gasoline and rubber.
The Democrats attack him not
only because of the decisions he has
made, but because he has refused to
give them the jobs they want.
Some of the strongest administra-
ton Democrats on the Hill have
their axes out for Mr.. Henderson.
The Senators say that Mr.. Hender-
son has asked them to approve ap-
pointments in their States without
giving them the chance to make rec
concentrations. In the senatorial
mind that is something that should

B> the Associated Press.


WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, June "a
Walter D. Fletcher, an executor of
the will by which the late Mrs.
Anna H. Patton left a large part
of her 81 SOC. 900 estate to DR.. Henry
Darlington, Episcopal rector, testi-
fed today that the widow was en-
tirely rational and not "unduly in
f1uenced" by anyone when she
ordered the will changed from time
to time.
Relatives of Mrs. Patton are seek
ing to break the will, charging an
illicit love affair between the pastor
and wealthy widow. Proponents of
the will said the charges were con-
jured up"
Explaining he prepared the will,
Mr.. Fletcher testified in Surrogate's S
Court that he was sure Mrs. Patton
was under no restraint at any time"
and he exhibited various notes he
said he had received from Mrs.
Patton directing him as to changes.
Letters in which DR.. Darlington
expressed love for the wealthy
widow were read yesterday into
the record of the suit
The proponents of the will con-
tend the letters we're decent and
proper" and evidence Of an innocent
friendship.
The contestants see them as show
ing "a relationship of intimacy very
difficult to name"
The letters-nine of them, plus
two postcards-dated from 1926 to
1910. They ranged from simple
acknowledgment of a gift to the
church to such expressions as II
send you oceans of love"
Filed by Contestants.
Originally the correspondence was
filed by the contestants to back up
their contention that undue in
huence" was responsible for Mrs.
Paton's will which left 80 per cent
of the estate to DR.. Darlington and
another 10 per cent to his church,
the fashionable Church of Heavenly
Rest.
Most of the reading in Westchester
Surrogate Court yesterday, however,
was done by Theodore Kiendl, at
torney for the executors of the will,
who seek to have 1t probated. only
a warped mind can distort these let
ters to what the contestants claim, I"
Mr.. Kiendl said.
One letter was read by Joseph A.
Nickerson, counsel for the con-
testants. This one said: II think of
you all the time. I miss you very
much. Love and then more love,
affectionately, Harry"
DR.. Darlington and his wife sat
side by side In the courtroom. Both
were calm and Mrs. Darlington was
knitting blue sweater.
Mrs. Elijah H. Sitter, widow of Mrs.
Paton's brother, and her two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Mary Owen and Mrs.
Elizabeth Pemberton, all of Phila-
delphia, are the contestants. The
will, the last of IA made by Mrs.
Patton, bequeathed them 5000 each.

Chicago and Toronto, Princeton,
Harvard, Bryn Mawr, and Smith
and Wellesley Colleges, they are
making the trip under the auspices
of the Experiment. in International
Living, an organization founded in
1882 to promote better uhderstand-
ing among American youth and
those of foreign lands.
Feature OF this summers trip
will be that one group of 10 men
and women will stay with and study
the adjustment and contributions
of Spanish refugees In science, art
and agriculture in their adopted
Mexican homes. T.
A Washington girl, Miss Edith
Huntington, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. Chaplin Huntington of
1906 Twenty-third street NV, will
be one OF the members OF this
group.
The two other groups will go to
Morela and Queretaro in Mexico.
where they will spend their first
month living with Mexican families
with children of the same age and
sex and study the language and abb
sorb as much of Mexican history,
culture and knowledge b Of institu-
tions as possible. Following this,
they will travel in the country, per-
haps accompanied by their young
Mexican hosts or hostesses.

Of sugar, gasoline. tire and automo-
bile rationing. They blame Mr..
Henderson.
Two Lines of Attack.
Two lines of attack on Mr.. Hen
derson are under consideration.
One is to cut off his source of supply
his appropriations-or to greatly
reduce them from the figures re-
quested. The other is to provide by
law for the confirmation by the
Senate of all Henderson appointees
receiving $4,000 or more in salary.
The latter would give the Senator'S
and the Representatives. lever by
which to force the price admins
traitor to give attention to their
recommendations.
The House Appropriations Sub
committee now is considering a re-
quest of Mr.. Henderson for $751;.
000, 900 to build up his organization
to take care of its price admins
tration, rent administration and ra-
tioning administration duties. The
talk is that the sum will be mate.
rally cut, that the members see
no reason for building up an army
of employees in the OPA.
One member of the committee
said frankly today that if the total
is not cut to one-quarter of the
present amount, he will fight te

Mr.. Henderson has gone through
