S915,000,o00 Worth
Of Lease-Lend Goods
Shipped in October
TotoI Up Sharply Since
Pearl Horbor Despite
Axis Predictions of CUT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Instead of sharply declining, as
forecast by the Axis, lease-lend
aid to Americas Allies has risen
greatly since our entry into the
war, and is likely to show a
growing increase" in 1943.
President Roosevelt, announcing a
new monthly record of more than
$915 ,000,0 worth of lease lend
goods and services furnished bene-
flciaries in October compared with
a previous high of $643 900 900 in
September. said these figures show
how wrong the Axis was in assum-
ing that our aid to our Allies would
sharply decline once we had been
brought into the war"
"We have never intended and do
not intend to diminish our lease
lend aid in the slightest" he as
serted. THE record for the last
four months shows that we are seek
ing to strike a careful balance be-
tween supplying our own Army and
supplying the other armies fighting
in the common cause"
Shipment Level Increases.
Despite the fact that this country
In the. last four months had the
imposing task of arming, equipping
and transporting our strong expedi-
tionary force now in North Africa, y
he declared, I'VE were able to trans
fer 2,713 900 900 worth of goods and
services to our Allies" in that period
OF this total thirds were mil
itary items, including large num-
bers of planes and tanks which Mr.
Roosevelt said helped turn the
tide in Egypt and to hold the lines
in Russia"
More than 1913, 900 900 in military
items alone was transferred abroad
in September and October, when
preparations for the African cam
paign were at their height. This
compared with 100000 worth
In the first two months of the war
December, 1941, and January, 1912.
PRODUCTION Up Sharply.
The President pointed out that
there were always peaks and val
leys" in production and transfers
and cautioned against looking for
records each month. But he ex-
pected the steady increase in pro-
duction was likely to mean a grow
ing increase in the aid supplied to
our Allies for the next year."
Lease-lend requirements for l94a
have just been charted in confer
ences between Lease-Lend Admin
istration officials and representatives

In commenting on the latest figures
given him by E. r. Stettinius; jr.,
lease-lend director, the President
stressed that figures alone did not
tell the whole story of help the
Allies had given each other.
Wasp's Record Cited.
Figures do not show" he said,
for example, how the aircraft car

roads carrying supplies into Russia

which we considered the prerogative

which we considered the prerogative
of American forces.
Our bombers, wasting no time, flew
repeatedly through halls of anti
aircraft fire during the morning to
strike at the transports. They set
one ship on fire, then a second.
Finally, with whopping big ex-
plosion, they nailed a third. That
was enough for the Japanese. Their
fighting ships closed around the two
remaining transports which up
anchored and fed.
An anticipated bombing attack on
us that morning never materialized
although some Zeros appeared. The
pressure seemed to ease toward
noontime. Several of our planes
bombed the departing Jap ships and
in their wake left another stricken
enemy transport and destroyer.
Shortly after midnight, on Friday
morning, We experienced our third
straight naval shelling. It lasted
only half hour and did little dam
age. As soon as it was over we
turned In and got few hours sleep.
About supper time a swarm of
new fighters and bombers appeared
overhead to reinforce our hard
pressed air forces. 1t made us feel
so good that after chow we went
for a swim in the Lunga River.
Hundreds OF marines svarmed
along the rivers edge, bathing,
washing clothes or just enjoying the
water. A second after we hit the
water, every one began scurrying
shoreward. From the direction of
the ocean We heard the sound Of
bombs and bursts of machine gun
fire.
Dive Bombers Attack Ships.
Enemy dive bombers. we learned
later, had attacked some of our
ships. Among our fighter pilots
tearing into the Japs was 1t. Col.
Harold Bauer, U. S. M. c., who was
born at Woodruff, Kans. He had
made two previous visits" to Hen
derson Field. On the first he
brought down four, possibly five,
Zeros; on the second he bagged a
bomber. This time he was on per-
manent duty. He spotted eight
enemy planes and picked of four
in row before running out Of
ammunition.
One of our barges was hit by
Jap planes Three Navy men were
killed, but the daring action of Navy
Coxswain "Shaghai" Rheindt and
Ship Filter Edward e. Witt saved
many others. A two-man volunteer
crew, they drove their boat through
blazing gasoline to rescue survivors.
Saturday morning, two American
destroyers pulled into the channel
to give the Japs little of the
naval gunfire which the American
forces had been undergoing. Then
two groups Of Jap bombers, one of
eight planes and the other of six,
appeared. Our Grummans annihi-
lated the group of eight over Tulagi.
The other six Jap planes, attempt
ing to attack the destroyers, were
picked of one by one by anti-air-
craft fire.
More trouble for the Nipponese
developed from the naval barrage
which our destroyers laid down
after the raid. For hours and 20
minutes they threw shells into the
japanese area, starting large fires.
Just after the destroyers pulled
out Of the channel, Is enemy bomb
ers made high-level raid on our
field. They we're little more fortu-
nate in this attempt. getting through
with no ships shot down but one
was smoking as they pulled away.
So far. there has been no offen-
sive action from the enemy land
forces here, but when it comes the
marines and their Army comrades
will be ready for them.

Hoover Advocates
Unified FoodAgency
Headed by Wickard
Coordination Needed
To Boost Meot Output,
Ex-President Writes

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-Ap-
pointment of the Secretary of Agri-
culture as food administrator with
complete control of a more and
more production" program is advo-
Gated by former President Hoover in
letter made public today.
THE lack of coordination and
the conflict between Government
bureaus are now limiting and will
even reduce, rather than increase,
our animal products" he said in
the letter to Editor Wheeler McMil-
len, published in the December issue
OF Farm Journal and Farmers Wife.
The former President stressed that
he was mot discussing personalities,
but the complete necessity to con-
solidate functions and authorities"
Must Unity Supplies.
Mr.. Hoover, who won international
recognition as food administrator
during the World War, declared
that while our grain supplies are
ample there must be unified and
strong action if supplies of meats
and fats generally are to be main
tanned in ample quantities. Their
greatly increased production is az
imperative a munition of war as are
guns and ships.
"At the time of the last war the
Department of Agriculture was
largely a scientific institution and
gladly left major production policies,
price policies and farm marketing
problems to the food administrator.
Since that time the department has
become a vast economic agency
affecting production, price and dis
tribution.
One Leadership.
II do not believe these functions
can now, or should be, taken from
the department. The solution seems
to me to be to transfer to that de-
partment the OPA and WPB func-
tions in relation to food control and
to transfer to the department the
other administrative fractions of
purchasing. ETC., now scattered In
many directions"
Unless these functions are in one
place and under one leadership"
Mr.. Hoover warned, lit is impossible
to fully mobilize the voluntary action
of the people which is so necessary
in food administration and which
alone can raise this phase of our
war effort above the level OF mere
regimentation."

Big Business Rider
On Small Business
Measure Opposed
Sentiment Develops
In Senote Against
Antitrust Change
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Strong sentiment developed in
the Senate today against what Sen
ator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyo-
ming, and others termed "a big busi-
ness rider on the small business bill" ="
In passing the bill designed to
help small businessmen obtain and
finance war contracts, the House
added an amendment which would
exempt corporations from prosecu-
ton under the antitrust laws for
acts specifically requested by the
chairman of the War Production
Board in furtherance of the war
effort.
The Senate opposition centered on
the manner in which the antitrust
exemption was presented, rather
than on the proposal itself, which is
sponsored by the administration.
Senator Hughes, Democrat, of
Delaware, chairman of the Senate
conferees on the small business bill,
said he would insist on removal of
the House amendment.
I'm opposed to riders in general" !"
he said. land this is entirely foreign
to the small business bill 1t should
stand on its own merits.
Time is vital now to the small
businessman, and we must act
quickly to save them. Some of them
are just barely hanging on"
The bill would set up a 5000, 0,000,-
900 Government-financed corpora
ton which could accept Government
contracts, let subcontractS to small
operators and finance the operations
If necessary.
Chairman Van Nuys of the Senate
Judiciary Committee introduced a
bill, similar to the House-approved
rider, to exempt firms from terms
of the antitrust laws upon certifi-
cation by the w. P. B. chairman.
At a subcommittee hearing yes
terday, Attorney General Biddle
and Undersecretary of War Robert
P. Patterson Endorsed the principles
of the measure and urged speedy
passage

Neutrality Is Best
For Argentina

President Soys
By the Associated Press.


BUENOS AIRES, May 29.-Acting
President Ramon s. Castillo, de-
Tending his policy Of prudence" in
foreign affairs and his insistence on
Argentina's neutrality, told the
opening session Of the 1912 Congress
yesterday he was serving the coun-
try's best interests.
Members of the opposition Radical
0iberaD Party in the Chamber Of
Deputies have long criticized DR..
Castillo and advocated breaking Dip
lomatic relations with the Axis.
Argentina, DR.. Castillo said, had
shown her continental solidarity by
according the United States the
rights Of a non-belligerent.
The nation, he said, modified its
attitude tward war after December
as friendly gesture to the United
States.
Decree Pointed Out.
Our solidarity with the United
States, based on geographical and
historical situation traditionally cul-
tivated with sincerity and firmness
in the economic, juridical and poll
tical fields, especially through the
Pan-American Conferences, i'm
PEELED us to declare by decree, dated
December 10, 1941, the non-beIiger-
ence of that nation with regard to
the treatment they should receive
within our boundaries and terri
torial waters"
DR.. Castillo said the situation at
the time of the Rio conference last
January was complicated" by the
fact that some American nations
already had declared war and others
had severed relations with the Axis.
Explains Position.
He noted that all the republics
represented at the conference except
Argentina and Chile supported the
proposal to sever political, economic
and financial relations with the
Axis, taking appropriate measures
to carry out this policy.
I'VE felt in expressing our op-
position that within the system Of
continental collaboration granting
the United States the special status
of nonbelligerency as we had done
was not only more helpful but more
appropriate in the special circum-
stances which dictated this de-
cision," he said.
He said Congress would have the
opportunity to enact legislation
necessary to implement the Rio
recommendations.
