Marlin Will Resiqn
As Chairman Of COP
National Committee
Cites Heavier Duties
In Calling St. Louis
Meeting December J
By GOULD LINCOLN.

Representative Martin of Mas
sachusetts, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee
and minority leader of the
House, announced today he was
calling a meeting of the National
Committee December 7 in St.
Louis, when he would resign as
chairman because of increased
responsibilities in the House.
Mr.. Martin, at his first press con-
ference in the Capitol since the
election, also said he was inclined
strongly to favor the creation of g
joint committee of the Senate anc
House on the conduct of the war
He was asked whether he believed
as President Roosevelt said yester.
day, that Congress was in favor o1
winning the war. --s.~.e ---..-.,--
There Is no question whatever,
rplied Mr.. Martin, that Congress
favors the winning of the war. We
have always been 100 per cent that
way. The American people are 1O(
per cent in favor of winning the war
But as they showed in the recent
elections, they want less bungline
and less politics in the conduct OF
the war.
Beneficial Effects Seen.
II am very sure the election will
have beneficial effect on winning
the war. The results of the elec-
tions have served notice on the ad-
ministration that it has got to get
down to business
Mr.. Martin was reminded that the
President had said at his press con-
ference yesterday that he had con-
suited with the Republicans about
the problems growing out of the war
II don't know with whom the
President has talked" replied Mr.
Martin. II am only the official
leader of the Republicans in the
House. I can only recall that went
to the White House the night of
the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
when the declaration of war was dis
cuSsed, and on one other occasion
when Prime Minister Churchill of
Great Britain was in this country.
I do not remember being called there
for other discussions"
In reply to question whether he
had been consulted on "the conduct
of the war" Mr.. Martin said: mo" "
He added that Speaker Rayburn and
a 1ly I,aI
talked legislation over with him,
however.
No Significance in Date.
When Mr.. Martins attention was
called to the fact that the date he
set for the meeting of the Repubi-
can National Committee, December
Z, was the anniversary of the jap
anese attack on Pearl Harbor, he
denied there was any significance.
II just this minute since the press
conference began decided on that
date" he said. "It falls on Mon
day, which is always easier for me to
be away from the House."
Mr.. Martin said that the increased
Republican strength in the House
because of the elections would put q
greater responsibility on him, as
COP leader in that chamber.
II must give my time and effort to
looking after things in the House"
he said.
He added that he would not accept
a call from the National Committee
to remain as chairman, even if 1t

Mccormack Assails
Senator Lodge Use
OF Stimson Letter
Boy State Legislator
Denies Note Had Any
Political Significance
BY the Associated Press.

by CIe ASSOCldtcu FIeSS.
BOSTON, Nov. 2.-House Ma
jority Leader Mccormack as
serted today that Secretary of
War Stimson had assured him
that if Senator Lodge, Republic
an, of Massachusetts, was using
for political purposes a letter he
sent the Senator after the lat
ter's return from Libya he was
practicing political deception"
Senator Lodge is being opposed
for reelection by Representative
Casey.
Mr.. Mccormack said Secretary
Stimson informed him that he sent
the laudatory letterv. to Senator
Lodge "at the request of the Sen
ator and after he had represented
= that his colleagues would
accuse him of running away"
The Secretary's letter commended
Senator Lodges conduct while on a
tour of duty on the African front.
In reply to Mccormack, Senator
Lodge asserted that he had at all
times kept faith with Secretary
Stimson and had never used the let
ter for political purposes.
This is simply one mans interpre-
tation of an alleged telephone con-
versation." the Senator said. "Secre-
tary Stimson has frequently said
and agree heartily-that his letter
to me had no political significance.
Casey and Mccormack are the
men who injected it into the cam
paign weeks ago. both casting slurs
on men in the armed forces.
Last Minute Fake"
The letter speaks for itself and
was released months ago to all the
newspapers. This looks to
me like last-minute fake which
would never be undertaken
except in the closing hours. It has
all the earmarks of last desperate
attempt to change the tide OF the
election"
Mr.. Mccormack quoted Secretary
Stimson as saying in a telephone
conversation that the use of the
letter by Senator Lodge for political
and campaign purposes was decep-
tion on his part and q very unfair
thing for Senator Lodge to do
I'm my talk with Secretary Slim
son. Mr.. Mccormack said. he ex-
pressed strong diSpleasure at the
action Of Senator Lodge and he was
greatly incensed at Senator Lodge,
deception in trying to drag him Into
. political campaign through use ol
his letter"

the three controlled materials cover
from rs to 80 per cent of production.
Allotment of critical material,
under the new idea will be made
through seven claimant agencies"
the Army, Navy, ONCE OF Civilian
Supply, Maritime Commission.
Lease-Lend. the Aircraft Schedule
Unit of the Armed Service and the
Board of Economic Warfare.
These agencies will make allot-
ments to prime contractors produc-
ing essential goods. Prime contrac-
tors, in turn, will divide the allot-
ments with subcontractors and sup
pliers. Under the priorities plan
now in operation each firm large or
small. prime contractor or subcon-
tractor, submits his own require
ments to WPB for approval and re-
ceives an individual authorization
to obtain material.
The prime contractors under the
new GIMP will prepare and submit
breakdown of all materials required,
for production of the airplanes, ships
or guns that they have contracted
for. The breakdown will comprise a
"bill of materials" specifying not
only what materials are required, but
when they must be received to carry
out the authorized program.
How Bills Will Be Made.
In making up his bin of materials,
each prime contractor will include
both the materials he puts into pro-
duction himself, and those needed by
his subcontractors and their sup
pliers. The bill Of materials will
cover requirements not only for the
three control materials, but also for
other scarce materials.
The bills OF materials will be as
sembled by each claimant agency
and submitted to the WPB Require
ments Committee, and to the respec-
tive Controls Materials Branches of
WPB. which will make necessary
adjustments to bring the whole pro-
gram into balance with available
supply.
"While this may not be the last
plan we will have" Mr. EberStadt
told reporters, lit must be some
where near the last. This is not be-
cause human ingenuity is limited,
but because human endurance Is
limited

has established close contact with
more than 2,OOO trade associations
