Arnold, Nelson to Be Called.
Before the hearing began. Mr..
Lake declared that as one of the
inventors of the modern submarine
he knew what the Axis nations can
do with it."
For 80 years." he said, II have
warned that battleships, cruisers,
destroyers, patrol boats of any kind,
even airplanes. could not effectively
stop its destructive toll OF ships,
their crews and cargoes.
II say now that we have not
yet seen the full fury of the SUBJ
marines such as will probably de-
scend upon us In the days to come
Il have refrained from making
public some of my plans, fearing
our enemies would use them against
us, but from information recentlv
received and from evidence of enemy
operations they are apparently using
these methods and are planning to
use them even more extensively. I
feel the time has come to tell our
people about them"
Later in the week, Senator Lee
said. the committee hoped to hear
from 1t. Gen. H. H. Arnold, chief
OF the Army Air Forces, and Donald
M. Nelson, War Production Board
chairman.
Second Front Need Cited.
Senate Minority Leader McNary,
who has supported the Kaiser pro-
posal, yesterday called for bold steps
In starting to build big cargo planes

Russia is crying for a second

be undertaken unless we can sus-

Two Addresses for Dawson
To Wind Up Campaign tonight
Eight GoIIons Of Cos Allowed
Workers for Transporting Voters

Last minute radio talks by En-
NETT c. Dawson and one OF his SUD-
porters will bring to a close the
Democratic congressional primary
in the eighth district of Virginia
tonight.
Mr.. Dawson is seeking to unseat
Representative Howard w. Smith in
the primary tomorrow. Mr.. Smith
made his only radio address of the
campaign last Thursday night.
Maurice D. Rosenberg, Alexandria
member of the Virginia House of
Delegates, will speak in behalf of
Mr.. Dawson at 6:15 pm. today over
Station WJSV. Mr.. Dawson will
make his final address at 8 O'Clock
tonight over Station WMAL.
Special Gas Allowance.
Meanwhile, in Alexandria, 1t was
announced that workers at the polls
would be granted a special gasoline
allowance of eight gallons to bring
voters to the booths. Special allow
ances have been granted for cam
paigning at the request of Mr. Smith
and Mr.. Dawson.
Workers for both sides predict
that the voting turnout will be
large, particularly II the weather is
favorable. Mr.. Davison's workers
have travelled throughout the dis
trict expounding his cause but they
have centered their efforts on the
large population centers of nearby
Virginia where, unlike in the agri-
cultural sections, sympathetic labor
vote is expected. Both sides predict
vote nearly as large as in the last
presidential election.
Representative Smith has been
successfully reelected to Congress
every two years SINCE 1880 and this
is his first primary contest since 1898
when he defeated William E. Dodd,
jr.. son of the late United States
Ambassador to Germany, by about
10000 to $500 votes. He defeated
Col Henry B. Goodloe, Republican
in the 1910 general election.
Mr.. Smith was born on farm in
Fauquier County and was graduated
in law from the University of Vir-
ginia in 1908. The following year he
was admitted to the bar and prac-
ticed in nearby Virginia. At one
time he was Commonwealth at
torney for Alexandria.
In 1922 he received his Corporation
Court judgeship appointment and
six years later was named Judge of
the 18th Circuit. He made his first
campaign for Congress In 1890.
In his second term in the House
Representative Smith was placed on
the Rules Committee.
In private life he is president OF
the Alexandria National Bank and
is engaged in farming and dairying
Critics OF his labor policy have
pointed out his activities while
chairman of special House COM
mittee to investigate the National
Labor Relations Board, his author

with $l,580,57a59 for the corre-
spending period last year.
"diVCl II. T uilcI, UTeSlQeHt Oh tne

to "a substantial loss in advertising
volume and to general increase in
costs" resulting from the war.
Pointing out that many large
advertisers have converted their
full productive capacity to the
manufacture of war materials,
Fuller said advertising In the Satur-
day Evening Post dropped during

could be found without disrupting
the present military aircraft pro-
duction program.
Senator McNary said, however, he
believed an immediate start ought
to be made, even If such a move
caused some delay In shipbuilding
and other activities.
Senator Lee asserted that the
United Nations must be prepared for
a possible darker phase" If the
Caucasus oil fields should fall to the
Axis, he said, 1t would be necessary
to have flying tankers to keep the
Allies motorized equipment oper-
ating.
Immediate Start Urged.
While Senator McNary conceded
the construction of large numbers of
freight-carrying aircraft would take
time, he said this was an added
argument for getting to work at
once on the project
Mr.. Kaiser has said he could build
flying boats on some of the West
Coast ways where he now is turn
ing out ships. Senator McNary sug-
gested that few OF these ways
might well be given over to this
purpose while detailed plans were
being worked out for mass produc-
ton.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah, one of the authors of cargo
plane fleet legislation, said he be-
lieved suficient authority now ex-
isted for the letting of contracts
for craft Of this nature.
Senator Thomas was inclined to
regard aerial transportation as
promising a solution to the prob
lem Of submarine sinkings, but Sen
ator Gurney, Republican, of South
Dakota, another Military Commit
tee member, said he did not believe
planes alone could do the Job.
The way to defeat the submarines
he contended, was to capture their
bases, a move that could be accom-
plished only by an invasion of Eu-
rope. He expressed conviction that
such an attack on Axis strongholds
was not far OH.

Norway Invasion
Signs Grow Thot Germany
Is Becoming Increasingly
Second Front Conscious

! By the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, Aug. 3.-Ex-
tensive n1aneuvers by German
troops and defense forces designed
to protect Norway from an alleged
s invasion were reported today as
signs multiplied that Germany is
Ebccoming increasingly second front
conscious.
A Stockholm dispatch to the Neue
4zuercher Zeitung said the maneu-
xvers in recent weeks had extended
efrom Kristiansund on the west coast
Ito Trondheim, and that ship traffic
Eand fishing had been suspended in
Ysome Of the fjords during the exer-
sscises.
! Many Naval Bases Built.
/ New minefields have been laid
near Ottero north of Alesund, the
report added, while numerous naval
bases equipped with long range guns
have been erected along the Nor
wegian coast in the past year.
The same papers correspondent
at Vichy said the order of Pierre
Laval banning demonstrations en-
ldangerfng public order" and fixing
the death penalty for unauthorized
possession of firearms and explos-
ives was probably inspired by dis
1 than recent outbreaks in the un-
occupied area.
The reporter noted that demon
strations already had been forbid
den, and that the order now only
re-emphasized it at a time when
second-front discussion, from the
German viewpoint, fills many COL
umns of the French press In Paris.
Warning Read in Ban.
One can read into the ban, "a
warning to the people in the possible
area Of operations"
So far, he said, only one paper in
the unoccupied zone, LIE Moniteur of
Clermond Ferrand. had referred to
"the importance which plans of a
second front must have in North
western France"
u lie Moniteur said second front
would have one purpose, to worsen
German French relations"
England cannot hope for more
sthan to destroy this policy (of
1French- German collaboration) and
