To Impair Army Morale
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Attorney General Biddle today
authorized the arrest and prosecu-
tion of Rudolph Fahl Of Denver
on a charge of attempting to impair
the morale and loyalty Of the mill
tary forces.
The Justice Department said an
F. B. I. investigation disclosed that
on January 81. during a visit to
Lowry Field, Colo, to sell maga-
zines, Fahl told officers from the
Air Corps Gunnery School at Las
Vegas, New. that they were suck
ers" and were not fighting for de-
mocracy. The officers were at Low
ry Field for special training.
Army officers present at the time,
the department said, attributed
other similar statements to Fahl,
including criticism of President
Roosevelt and the United States
Allies "allegedly designed to impair
the morale and loyalty of the mill
tary forces"
The maximum penalty is 10 years
imprisonment and $4,000 fine.
This was the first case of it's kind
since the war began but officials said
other similar ones could be ex-
pected soon.

P. B. ordered tea packers to discon-
tinue using packages containing
more than one quarter of pound

To force into the market any

ceivers having an inventory of more
than 500 pounds are required to
file complete report of the amount

an average of about IL ounces of
tea a year. In recent years total
consumption has ranged between
100000 and 96,00O,000 pounds.

The Senate late today defeated
a resolution to deny a seat to

North Dakota. elected to Senate
membership in November, 1910.
BY vote of So to 80, the cham
Der rejected the resolution which
would have denied Senator Lam
ger membership on the grounds
that he had been guilty of moral
turpitude during a long and
stormy political career in his
home State.
Just before the final vote. the
Senate, by a margin of As to 81,
voted that unless two-thirds of those
balloting on the removal resolution
approved it. Senator LANCER should
remain in Office

Early this afternoon the Senate
had rejected on a voice vote the
first motion stating that wo-hirds

The motion, offered by Senator
Overton, Democrat. of Louisiana
stated affrmatively that a two-third
vote was necessary. 1t was defeated
in confusing parliamentary situa-
ton which ended with Minority
Leader McNarv asking what the

it was adopted
When told that the motion which

Recounting that Gov. John Moses
had pledged in the last election cam

North Dakota to look into the evi-
dence.
Senator Connally described Mr..
Moses as a Governor who during
the election is strong for purity. but
who. after the election, gets cold

The War Production Board to-
day ordered the Nations tea
consumption cut in half to con-
serve dwindling tea supplies.
The order was intended, the board
said, to stretch the stocks of tea on
hand in this country on January l.
which it was said would have lasted
six months unless restricted-to a
full years supply.
The order does not take into ac-
count tea received at a normal rate
from the Far East during January
and February. and w. P. B. said
there was reason to believe" that
tea would continue to enter this
country in ships returning from
voyages taking military supplies to
the Western Pacific.
Effective Immediately.
The order was necessary as a pre-
cautionary measure. w. p B. said.
The action restricts the amount a
tea packer may deliver to a whole
saler or retailer to so per cent of the
amount delivered in the correspond
ing quarter of 1941. The order is
effective Immediately. A similar re-
striction is placed on wholesalers or
chain grocery organizations. these
being forbidden to buy more than so
per cent of average monthly pur-
chases in the corresponding quarter
OF last year.
by thus cutting in half the
amount of tea that store can buy,
consumer purchases are automai-
cally cut in half and the six months
supply of tea on hand in this coun-
try on January / on an unrestricted
basis is stretched to years supply

announcement said.

The new command was regarded
also as an answer to a wave of pro-
