WASHINGTON, May -
Up Quick production OF scores
of sea otter type warships to
convoy Atlantic Coast merchant
vessels was advocated today by
Senator Gillette I'd Iowa. as
the best immediate answer to
Axis submarine warfare.

duction - had not been given

he and other members believed
vessels of this type might be
converted into corvettes which
could guard the tankers bring

POINT TO SUCCESS
Pointing to the success of the
convoy system in transporting
military equipment and sup
plies to Britain and Russia, the
Iowa senator said it was rea-
sonable to assume that similar
protection would reduce or null

NO CHANCE FOR FISH

VIDALIA, Ga, May l--lP)-
The fish in these parts haven't
got a chance.
MIR. and Mrs. J. /. Anderson,
on a recent fishing trip, reported
that a Dominicker hen followed
them to the river bank, dunked
her head in for a drink. The
hen was promptly nabbCd by a
IL pound bass.
The fish wouldn't let go and
the hen couldn't, but she yank
ed it ashore where the Ander-
sons captured and cooked il.

Soldiers Paid As Well
As War Workers, Claim
Juicy Incomes of Defense Workers
Called q Myth by Charles Toft

KANSAS CITY, May l - (P)
- These juicy incomes defense
workers are supposed to receive
are just a myth, Charles p.
Taft says.
"Our boys in the trenches are
paid just as well as the fellows
working in the defense indus
tries at home" the son of the
late president, told delegates of
{ h G Association of Junior
Leagues of America last night.
Taft is assistant director of De-
Tense Health and Welfare Serv-
ices of the Federal Social Sc
Curity Agency.
"A few Of the war work en-
ployes draw $50 a week, but a
vast majority of them. make
considerably less than that.
Most of the soldiers who
have been in service at least
three months, now are making
more than sci, and pending
congressional action will boost
the monthly base rate to SAP.
"In addition they receive an
extra 10 per cent for overseas
duty, and are given their food,
lodging and clothing. Other
items of normal civilian ex-
penSe, such as entertainment,
laundry and insurance, are made
available to members of the
armed services at a reduced
cost"
Appealing to the convention
to join in the drive for better
living conditions and entertain
ment for defense workers, Taft
said the agency had learned that
decent homes and reCreation had
put a lot of tagging production
schedules over the hump in the
first few months of the emer-
gcnCy.
THE worker, in many cases,
has no leisure time activity, or
is working in an area where he
can't even buy pleasures.
"On many war projects the
man or woman must ride 35 or
40 miles to his job. Temporary
homes in tents and trailers line
the roads around many of the
defense sites, particularly on
construction jobs.
IF there are no places for the
children to play, they scamper

Plan Urged as Answer
to Axis U-Boot Activity
Sen. Gillette Asserts Vessel Hos
Yet TO Get Sympathetic Triols

an armed civilian air patrol to
cover shipping in the 50-mile
zone along the Atlantic Coast
and said that the government
had announced the loss of 13l
vessels in this area since the
United States entered the war.
Without disparaging Brooks
suggestion, Gillett said he
thought that conveys might pro
vide the immediate answer to
the submarine attacks. If the
speed of the sea otter could be
increased and offensive install
lations made, he said many such
vessels could be turned out hur-
riedly with little interference
with the regular ship construc-
ton program.
CONVERSION LIKELY
In addition, he said, the sea
otter might be adaptable to con-
version into tankers.
The Sea Otter II was built
originally under Pr / d n /
Roosevelt's orders as a cargo
ship, with a vertical propeller
receiving power from a bank of
gasoline engines. Proponents
said it could be built much more
swiftly and would cost far less
than the standard type of yes
sci, but Secretary of the Navy
Knox announced that trials of
the full scale model had been
unsatisfactory.
Gillette said Naval Affairs
Subcommittee m m b ers has
been assured that steps were
being taken under competent
supervision" to redesign the sea
otter, despite reports in other
congressional quarters that the
Navy had transferred Com
mander Hamilton Bryan, inven-
tor of the craft, away from
Washington.
Bryan had been cooperating
w it h Weaver Associates, Inc,
Washington marine architects
who were operating under a
lease-lend contract, in rede-
signing the craft. War Produc-
ton Board officials subsequent
ly were reported to have be-
come interested and there were
indications that construction of
a new model would be carried
out under supervision of the
WPB, the Navy and Lease-Lend.

started what it calls a Double
V-for-yictory campaign. The
idea is that the Negro is fight
ing two wars simultaneously.
They are fighting with the rest
of us for victory over the Axis
and they are fighting also
for victory against the whites
at home"
This is entirely a mis-inter-
probation of the campaign. The
Negro is not fighting against
the whites at home. He is
fighting to be free with the
whites at home in his fight
against the Axis.

Gently an official Of the Nation
al Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People visited
Tuskegee Institute in Alabama
to see how the Goth Pursuit
Squadron was getting along.
"The NAACP official was
very well pleased with the re-
suits, and made the mistake
for him--of saying so.
"He was unceremoniously fir
ed by the organization which is
leading the Negroes fight for
freedom at home.
1.-THE reason: BY approving
that project, he tactily approved
the policy of segregation of
whites and Negroes. To the MA
ACP this was treason, because
the organization has made it
plain that It will sanction no
segregation. The color line must
be completely oblitersted."
