RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 29.-Two
empowering DEGREES covering the
mobilization of naval reserves and
all of Brazil's economic assets, in
cluding manpower, signed yesterday
by President Getulio Vargas, COM
plete the trilogy begun by the Sep
tember is general mobilization de-
cree. which mainly covers the army.
These three DEGREES form pyra-
midal structure enabling and en-
powering almost any executive move
which is wanted, needed or desired.
The economic aspect of the mo-
bilization decree foresees the ap-
pointment of co-ordinator, but so
far the expectation that Joao Al
berto Lins de Barros would be
named to the post has not been
confirmed by official pronounce
ment. He was appointed few days
ago to head the Brazilian committee
which, with the American com :.
mittee, headed by Morris Llewellyns
Cook, will coordinate Brazirs eco-,
nomic and industrial endeayors, j

In 1899 the OARS refusal to let
Miss Anderson use the hall caused
the resignation Of Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt from the organization
and was the center of public con-
troversy and comment from nu-
merous noted individuals and civil
rights groups.
Miss Anderson finally gave her
concert and was introduced by Sec
retary of the Interior Ickes on the
steps of the Lincoln Memorial She
was heard by thousands Of Wash
ingtonianS and Easter tourists.
At the 1899 OAR convention held
10 days after the concert Mrs. Henry
M. Robert, jr.. then president gen.
eral, explained the OAR ban on
colored artists appearance in their
Constitution Hall.
She said the ban, adopted in 1927,
was approved because experience
showed the society could not go
contrary to or further than the
customs existing in the city in which
its properties were located" She
pointed out that conditions in 1899
were the same as when the rule
was originally made by the National
Board of Management.

Treasury Fights Freezing
OF Social Security Taxes
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau Yesterday warned that the
Senate Finance Committees recent
decision to freeze Social Security
taxes would disarrange war financ-
ing, "jeopardize the program Of
financing old age and survivors in

against imitation. .....
At a press conference, he dis
tributed statement appealing in
directly to the committe to reverse
its decision.
At present, employers and en-
ployes each pay l per cent of pay
rolls for old age insurance. Under
existing law, they would pay per
cent each starting January /. 1943,
but the Senate committee voted to

In u. 5. During War
Allies Tokine Terrific
SheI|ocking,' He Tells
Missouri Grand Lodge
3. tire Associated Press.

}, tre Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 29-Lt.
Gen. Brehon B. Somervell, COM
manding general Of the services
of supply, declared last night
"our No. l job right now is to
kill Nazis and Japs" and there s
no room in America for any kind
of blocs."
In speech before the Grand Lodge
of Missouri Masons, Gen. Somer-
veil said he would not give his listen
ers any "sugar-coating, and that
I'VE and our Allies have taken a ter
rife shellacking all around the
globe"
Our armed forces are out in
'front.'" he said. 80 But our
soldiers can't do the job of saving
democracy alone. Our sailors and
airmen can't. They need your help
your all-out help, and they need it
every hour of every day. They need
it now.
"In this total war there's no room
in America for any blocs. There's
no room for taxm bloc, or a labor
bloc, or an industrial bloc, or any
other kind of bloc except an Amer
ican bloc.
Return Hate, He Urges.
Declaring that the Japs and Nazis
hate u.s." Gen. Somervell urged
that 1--WE start throwing some of
that hate back in their faces"
Asserting that he and Donald
Nelson, WPB chairman, "see eye to
eye, we have no quarrel, no matter
what the poison gas squad may say"
Gen. Somerveu added:
And let's not be over critical of
our leaders, of our tactics. of our
military methods. No matter what
we do, we seem always to do the
wrong thing according to the Mon
day morning quarterbacks and the
hindsighters.
Naming all the countries that
have been conquered by the Axis,
he continued:
We've lost all our rubber, most
OF our tin, our help, our silk. We've
lost ships by the hundreds, men by
the thousands. We've lost the free
dom of the seas. We've lost every
thing except SNUG sense of COM
placency. And that's the one thing
we've got to lose, and lose fast, or
We'll lose our independence.
ANY manager who uses the war
effort to take advantage Of labor
Is guilty of sabotage" he said. land
any worker who lays down his tools
TO strike, for even an hour, is no
better than saboteur.
Pleads For Unity.
Lets stop all argument about
who will be top man after this war.
If we keep on fighting among our
selves the top man is going to be
Hitler.
Lets forget about business as
usual, pleasure as usual, tires as
usual, and politics as usual. It's
going to be the same war after elec-
tion 1t is today. The danger is 90
ing to be just as great, the future
just as dark. Hitler and the Japs
don't care who wins American elec-
tions just so we take our minds of
the war long enough to fight with
one another.
The American soldier mixing
with a Jap in a dogflght over Aus
tralia doesn't relish the idea Of
putting of any decision until after
election. No soldier or sailor does,
and as for me the lives of our sons,
the life Of any young American out
there fighting for us is more i'm
portant and more valuable than
any Office in any State OF the
Union"
