tically every enactment that had
for it's objective, the readying Of
America for the war, that was in
evitable, was fought by the minor
ity members of Congress.
The New York Times" after
listing the Congressional proceed
ings along, this line summed it up
thus:
Newspapers and kelland
The Republicans in Congress
have achieved, in short, a perfect
record of opposition to these meas
ures recommended by the Presi-
dent by the Secretary OF State and
by the Army's Chief of Staff
Now the COP. propagandist is
clamoring for all-out war He
told the Youngstown (Ohio) Young
Republican League that 'if any
man, Democrat or Republican,
shall raise his voice in appease-
ment or for negotiated peace, the
Republican party will denounce or
repudiate him."
He coupled with this bold state
ment - nobody is suggesting a
negotiated peace; that sort of talk
belonged to the period when Mr..
Kelland was assuring the nation
that there was no danger Of war
and charging the president with
trying to bring war On-the obJec-
tives Of his party. These inferred
that the administration is inetti-
cient; is appointing unfit men to
the production job, is guilty OF
boondoggling and conniving at
huge profits by those engaged in
carrying out war contracts.
SO, after doing everything he
could to embarrass the prepara-
tions for the struggle, he is now
demanding unqualified effort to
win the war. 1t would have been
vastly easier and shorter to ac-
complish this if it had not been
for the tactics that hampered and
delayed the attempts to get ready
for the crisis.

nearly 13 per cent greater than

The income rise, the largest re-

pected to run between $4,000, ,000,- =
900 and Sis 900, o0O0. The price
level is one of the uncertain ele-
ments in the 1912 picture, according
to Commerce Department experts.
Payrolls Up 25 Per Cent.
Excluding 20O,O0OOOO in work
relief wages and $1,000 100000 in

ployes, wages and salaries last year

ment estimated the net income of
incorporated business at $1,000 O0O,-

NET income of incorporated busi-
nesses in 1941 exceeded by As per

corporate tax payments were con-
siderably smaller" it said.
Though dividend disbursements
were only 81 per cent higher than

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Voorhis, Democrat,
Of California, protested in the House
yesterday against publication under
a London dateline of a news story
concerning the movement of United
States transports in the South Pa
ciflc.
1T seems to me that if censorship
means anything at ALL he said in a
one-minute speech, this certainly
is the main place it should be ap-
piled"
The story was cleared by British
censors and thereupon became avail
able under American censorship
rules for publication in this coun-
try.
Later, Mr.. Voorhis told reporters
that ''if the American public can be
given this information they should
get it through their own press, not
through London"
Secretary of the Navy Knox told
White House reporters after con-
ference with President Roosevelt
yesterday that the Navy Depart
ment is taking up with British au-
thorities the publication of the story
In the London Daily Mail. He said
the correspondent who wrote the
story, Walter Farr, was permitted
the courtesy of travelling on an
American vessel with the under
standing that anything he might

the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton said Joseph Frank Weiss,
31-year-old Nashville aircraft
worker, was arrested this after
noon and charged with sabotag-
ing a Marine Corps airplane at
Quantico, Va.
Mr.. Kuhnel added from his home
in Memphis that Weiss, whose
mother was German-born, had been
covered by F. B. I. agents since he
was discharged February Is at the
Quantico Ilant because he dis
played a pro-German attitude and
exhibited too much curiosity there
about the Air Corps"
A warrant for Weiss arrest was
issued today by United States
Commissioner at Alexandria, Va,
and a second warr ut was made
later by Commissions Z Lee Brock at
Nashville. Mr.. KuhL said Weiss,
who came to Nashville. 'th his wife

AS civilian worker at the Guam
tico Marine Base, Mr.. Kuhnel added,
Weiss allegedly placed numerous
faulty rivets in plane that was
under construction and failed to
connect up certain vital parts on the
plane. Mr.. Kuhnel said a plane
would crash at high speed under
such construction.
After arriving in Nashville, Mr.
Kuhnel went on, Weiss was given
employment at the Vultee Aircraft
plant. where dive bombers are now
being turned out. This employment
was arranged by the F. B. I. with
Vultee officials and Weiss was under
constant supervision within the
plant by designated workers and
outside he was shadowed by F. B. I

Reports Of Shoke-up
Follow Nelson Denial
Of ShipbuiIdine Lag
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Reports that a reorganization
OF the w. P. B. Production Di-
vision was imminent circulated
yesterday in the wake of a vigor-
Gus denial by w. P. B. chairman
Donald M. Nelson that the 1912
war shipbuilding program might
fall short of President Roosevelt's
goal.
There was no Official indication
that the shake-up in the Production
Division, headed by w. H. Harrison,
former vice president of the Ameri-
can Telephone g. Telegraph Co. had
any connection with the shipbuild-
ing situation, but Mr.. Nelson told
reporters emphatically: The ship
building program has got to come
through"
Mr.. Harrison told a press con-
ference Friday that a shortage of
steel plate had raised the possibility
that President Roosevelt's demand
for production of 100000 tons of
merchant shipping this year might
not be realized.
Nelson's Denial Sharp.
II haven't recognized any such
possibility" Mr.. Nelson said sharply,
when asked for comment.
Mr.. Harrison said the victory
schedule was running not more
than 10 vessels behind" in February
But some of this lag would never
be made up, he declared. He added,
however, that he saw nothing to in
dicate that the victory schedule
would be impossible of achievement.
One w. P. B. source said any re-
organization Of Mr.. Harrison's di-
vision probably would tie in with
changes in the Army's setup provid-
ing for three War Department
branches-ground forces, air force
and service of supply. What al
terations w. P. B. would make to
fit itself into this setup were not
disclosed.
Labor Heads Pledge Support.
Mr.. Nelson's remarks on ship
building were made at press con-
ference he held Immediately after
meeting with Philip Murray, c. l..
o. president, and William Green,
A. F. L. president He said both
had pledged their whole hearted
support in carrying out an imme-
diate 25 per cent increase in pro-
duction with existing facilities.
The production chief said he
talked over the whole subject of
industry labor committees with Mr..
Murray and Mr.. Green and that
the conference proceeded COM
pletely harmoniously and co-opera-
lively"
Il am convinced that out of the
whole thing will come increased
production" Mr.. Nelson declared,
adding that both Mr.. Murray and
Mr.. Green realize the necessity for
increased production now-in 1912"
Leaving the conference, Mr.. Green
described it as very satisfactory"
and Mr. Murray declared that I'VE
pledged the utmost cooperation"
