DoIIar-a-Year Men
Serve u. ). Interest,
Inquiry Reports
House Subcommittee
Says Most Render
Conscientious Service
By TIE Associated Press.

By TIE Associated Press.
A House Military Affairs Sub
committee gave a clean bill to
the Nations dollar-a-year men
today in report of an investi-
CATION of circumstances sur
rounding the resignation in
March of Robert R. Guthrie of
Paducah, Ky.
Mr.. Guthrie resigned as chief of
the textile, clothing and leather
goods branch of the War Production
Board, giving as his reasons, the
subcommittee said, Lack of CO.
operation, insubordination and the
unwillingneSs of some dollar-a-year
men to divorce their private inter-
ests from the public welfare.
Served Government Interest.
While finding there was "a sharp
and divided conflict of opinion be-
tween Mr.. Guthrie" and some of
his associates, the group headed by
Representative Faddis, Democrat. of
Pennsylvania said, There is lack of
proof that this was significant of
anything other than strong convic-
tionS on the part of those whose
duty it was to offer technical ad-
vice, together with a lack of proof
that they intended to serve any in
terest other. than that of the Gov
ernment.
TT is not possible to depend
solely upon Government career men
and college professors without prac-
tical experience in industry at so
serious a time as this the sub
committee commented, without the
assistance of those experienced in
the world of business, and without
the specialized knowledge of eXecu-
tives and technicians of a high
caliber."
Gave Valuable Service.
In most instances, the subcom-
mittee, said, Men drawn from in
duStry, whether as dollar r-a-year
men or compensated for their serv-
ices, have rendered valuable, sin
cere and conscientious service to
: the war effort it cannot ex-
pect that such men should sever
all connections with the business
world, nor should they be subjected
to criticism or suspicion solely be-
cause of existing or former in
dustry connections"
The committee said it was "im-
pressed with the sincerity of Mr.
Guthrie" and was sympathetic with
his views in regard to conservation
of strategic and necessary materials
but felt that the question of COL
lateral consequences surrounding
conservation and conversion were
for the most part disregarded by
Mr.. Guthrie"

EVANSTON, Ill, June l6.-Secre-
tary of Commerce Jones predicted
today that when the war is ended
and won, "our national income will
be well above 100 billion dollars a
year"
He warned, however, that the
war may last much longer than any
of us hope. Certainly there is no
early end in sight"
The Secretary, in speech at the
dedication of Northwestern Univer-

war lasts the greater will be the dis
locations in our normal life and
economy which the Nation must

House Naval Group
Backs Plan to Double
Size of Fleet
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
A vast $3.50 ,O00, 900 ship con-
struction program was approved
today by the House Naval At
fairs Committee, and Chairman
Vinson disclosed that work had
been deferred temporarily on
-four or five battleships in order
to concentrate on carriers"
He emphasized that the Nation
had not suspended or abandoned
the battleship building program,
but declared that events of the war
had demonstrated conclusively that
the aircraft carrier lis the back
bone of the fleet"
He said this country would need
battleships "as long as any other
nation has Them" and stressed the
point that there has only been a
"deferment on four or Ave" of the
huge batleships once regarded as
the monarchs of the sea.
Aimed at Doubling Fleet.
The new bill, designed ultimately
to double the size of the fleet, pro-
vides for building 100000 tons of
carriers. along with 100000 tons of
cruisers and 100000 tons of destroy
ers and destroyer escort vessels to
throw up protecting shield
around the floating aerial striking
strength.
The measure. demonstrating the
Nays increasing emphasis on
plane carriers, will provide for more
than 1,400 ships of all types, in
cluding more than 400 combatant
craft in the carrier-cruiser- destroyer
category.
Chairman Vinson said conStruc-
ton of the carriers would be started
this year and the rest of the big
boat program next year. He said the
keels for the carriers would be laid
Immediately"
Cruisers to Be Converted.
Earlier. two members of the Sem
ate Naval Affairs Committee said
that Navy officials had decided to
defer all plans for huge new battle
ships in order to concentrate on eX-
panding fighting power in the air.
Senators Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana, and Brewster, Repub-
lican, of Maine, in separate inter
views said top-ranking admirals had
informed them that no new battle
ships would be started and that
plans for cruisers now underway
were being converted so that these
would be completed as aircraft
carriers.
The Navy finally has decided it
must have more airpower to protect
our present fleet" Senator Ellender
said. Some of the cruisers being
converted were pretty well along"
Plans for Big Ships Dropped.
Senator Brewster said the new
decision would mean abandonment
for the present of Navy plans for
constructing five huge super battle
ships of so 900 tons each that were
to have been the largest things
afloat"
Senator Brewster said naval au-
thorities had been working on the
plans for the huge battleships-
larger than any previously built
for more than year and probably
had learned that some of our
enemies had abandoned plans for
similar huge battleships."
The Maine Senator said the new
decision would not interfere with
completion and commissioning of
several battleships that would be
launched within the next few
months.
Il believe this involves a turning
point in naval concepts of battle
ships that has been debated since
1888 and before" Senator Brewster
said. Within the last few months
the admirals have been getting
more and more concerned"
