Until After War
New Oil Line Across Stote
Expected to Be in Use
By January I

by tne Associated FTeSS.
Construction of the Florida cross
State barge canal is likely to be
postponed until after the war, Army
engineers have informed Congress,
but a new oil pipeline across the
State is expected to be in operation
by January l, 1943.
Maj. Gen. T. M. Robins, assistant
chief of engineers, told the House
Appropriations Committee, in testi-
mony disclosed today, that the ma
terials, equipment and manpower
situation made building of the canal
improbable at this time.
He said, however, that $6,S45 900
would be used to improve the intra-
coastal waterway between Cara
belle, Fla, and New Orleans.
The committee was told by the
Agriculture Department that just
one part of Americas emergency
rubber program ultimately would
cost more than $4,000, 900.
That expenditure would establish
production capacity of 10000 tons
of natural rubber from guayule an
nually, it was estimated.
Sc Factories Needed.
Department experts said that in
addition to the vast program for
planting the rubber bearing shrub,
Sc processing factories would be re-
quired, at cost of about $450, 1000
each-or total of more than
$25 100000.
The officials asked that Congress
raise from $4,000 to 100000 acres
the authority for planting guayule.
The shrubs will be cultivated on
huge plantations in the Southwest.
Production of the shrub, which
has a natural rubber content of
about 20 per cent, is but small part
of the Governments overall rub
ber program.
The department requested $1e,-
100000 additional Immediately for
quick expansion of guayule cultiva-
ton. The Government already has
provided $l3,000,O00 for this pro-
gram.

The committee got its information
from L. A. Wheeler, director of the
Office of Foreign Agricultural Re-
lations Of the Agriculture Depart
ment.
Whereas the British bought their
entire contract at a fixed price for
a year, Mr.. Wheeler explained.
Americans who made purchases for
the civilian market last year paid a
higher price than the British and
this in turn caused our Army to

Newspapers Praised

For operation
Davis Says He Sees No
Trend Which Threatens
Freedom Of Speech
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Nations newspapers won to-
day tribute from Elmer Davis,
director Of the Once OF War In
formation, for their "wholehearted
cooperation" in the work of spread
ing the truth about United States
war aims and accomplishments.
Mr.. Davis opinion was expressed
earlier this week before the House
Appropriations Committee when he
asked for $26, 800 900 to finance the
Owls use of propaganda psychol-
ogy to help win the war. His
testimony was made public today.
The committee approved 5000, 900
for Owl.
Are you finding that you are get
ting the wholehearted cooperation
of the newspapers of the country"
inquired Representative Ludlow,
Democrat, Of Indiana.
"Yes. indeed" Mr.. Davis re-
sponded. 1T is almost embarrass-
ing, because they make us look as
good as we would like to be, but
am afraid occasionally better than
We really are"
No Free Speech Threat.
Mr.. Ludlow then inquired whether
Mr.. Davis had observed any trend
developing which might ultimately
impinge on the freedom of speech?"
Il do not" replied Mr.. Davis.
"Of course" he added, that is
primarily Byron Prices field. (Mr.
Price is director of censorship
Voluntary censorship of the press
seems to me to work very we'll. I
think 1t is the only kind that would
ever work in this country.
Il think it would be impossible, as
we'll as undesirable, to attempt forci-
BILE censorship. I think the way
Byron Price is running it is just as
good as you can get it. 1t may not
be perfect, but it works pretty we'll.
1T is the job of OWL" Mr.. Davis
told the committee, mot only to tell
the American people how the war Is
going, but where 1t is going and
where 1t came from-its nature and
origins, how our Government is con-
ducting it, and what, besides ma
tional survival. our Government
hopes to get out of victory"
Defends Appropriate ton Request.
I'VE believe" Mr.. Davis continued,
that the better American people un-
derstand the war, the harder they
will work and fight to win it."
He acknowledged that Owls esti-
mate of its financial needs "looks
like lot of money to some of us"
but said that ut is not much, COM
pared with our competition" and
added that estimates of German
propaganda expenditures run all
the way from 1920 ,0OO, 900 to $780,
900 900 a year"
Mr.. Davis conceded that "propa-
ganda Is word in bad odor in this
country" but he emphasized that
propaganda lis an instrument which
may use truth or falsehood as its
material, one which may be directed
toward worthy or unworthy ends"
I'VE are going to use the truth"
he said, land we are going to use it
toward the end of winning the war,
for we know what would happen to
the American people If we lost it,"

Meanwhile, Mr. WILKES state
ment calling for all-out Allied offen-.

Further U. s. Bombings Urged.
Further American bombings of
Japanese cities was suggested in a
six-point memorandum presented to
Mr.. Willkie yesterday by the Chi

Relations.
The memorandum was written af-
ter Mr.. Willkie expressed interest
in knowing what message the Chi

kung, Chinese finance minister and
president of the institute, sent the
memorandum to Mr.. Willkie with a
letter asking him to convey the con-
tents to President Roosevelt and
the people of the United States.
The points
J.. Americans should keep as large
an air force in China as can possibly
be maintained with supplies, as the
present strength is far from sufi-
clent to support the Chinese in any
effective counteroffensive.
2. American and other United Ma
tions should make concerted efforts
TO retake Burma at the earliest
possible time.
Fight to End Promised.
3. America should send further,
bombing squadrons to japanese
cities to bring the war to Japanese
SOIL
4. In Allied global strategy. the
China and European fronts should
be considered as Of equal impor-
tance.
S. The Chinese people will never
lay down arms until their cause and
that of the United Nations is won
decisively.
6. America and China should CO..
operate to the fullest possible extent
not only in winning military VIC
tory, but in rebuilding a new world
order in which no war Of predatory
conquest should ever be allowed

Senate Unit DELAYS
Action on Federal
Overtime Pay
Measure to Be Token Up
After Chomber Completes
Work on Big Tax Bill
By ], A, O'LEARY,

The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee today postponed a decision
on the overtime pay bill for Gov
ernment employees until the Senate
completes work on the tax bill,
which probably will be next week.
Chairman Bulow and Senators
Mead, Democrat, of New York, Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia, and Aiken,
Republican. Of Vermont, discussed
the overtime problem in a brief ex-
ecutive session. Other committee
members were attending an early
session of the Senate on the revenue
measures, and Senator Mead an
nounced the decision to wait until
that bill is out of the way.
Hearings were held on the bill two
weeks ago by Senator Mead, at which
budget officials testified the increases
under the'bill would range from $195
to $340 year. The overall average
was placed at 1927 annually.
The measure would establish a
basic work week of A hours in
Federal departments and agencies,
with overtime at the rate of time
and-a-half starting at the end of 40
hours.
For postal field employees, who
would not benefit by the basic pro-
visions, the bill would allow a bonus
of not to exceed $500 a year. The
average payment in this group, ac-
cording to budget officials, would
be $157.
In the War and Navy Depart
ments, where employees are working
48 hours, the increase would 60 as
high as $40, while the average in
other departments would be $195.
Testimony at the hearings showed
the Government now has 2,5OO, 900
employees, of whom 1,275 900 already
receive overtime for hours in excess
of a basic work week. This leaves
approximately 1925 900 not covered
by existing overtime legislation.

FEC Probes Report
Of Tips 10 Nazi Subs
In Radio Programs
Fly Soys Dedication
Of Songs Is Supposed
To Have Revealed Convoys
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Communications
Commission is investigating reports
that radio announcers have been
tipping off enemy submarines
through tricky song dedications and
the juggling Of prices In adver-
tising.
This disclosure was made by
James L. Fly, commission chair
man, during hearings on q supple
mental defense appropriation bill
reported to the House today.
Stressing the necessity of inves-
tigating the personnel Of interna-
tional broadcast and foreign IAN
guage stations in the United States,
Mr.. Fly told the committee some
startling reports have been cir
culating since the outbreak of the
war;"
Say Code Was Used.
One of these reports, he said,
was that an announcer was tipping
of submarines on the movement of
conveys from America by dedicat-
ing songs to the crews of certain
vessels.
Another announcer was reported
to have used an open code for the
same kind of f1fth-column work by
juggling prices in radio advertise
ments and by deliberate but sys-
tematic grammatical errors.
These much needed investiga-
tions, Mr.. Fly said, have not been
undertaken with any degree Of
thoroughness," the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation having been unable
to assume additional tasks.
That the Justice Departments in
vestigating agencies have plenty of
work of their own to do was empha-
sized by spokesmen for that organi-
Zation.
Seeking funds to combat seditious
activities, department officials told
the committee the control of sedi-
ton in ats various forms was "one
of the major tasks of internal Sc
curity in time of war"
New Sedition Cases.
Sedition "is an existing fact Of
alarming proportions, said Law
renee M. C. Smith, chief Of the spe-
cial war policies unit. New cases
are arising at the rate Of about 60
. month, he said
Mr.. Smith listed these as the
forms of sedition:
Hostile enemy propaganda; at
tacks on existing governmental in
stitutions for the purpose Of UNDER
mining them: attacks designed to
stir up internal disunity along re-
ligious, racial or economic class
lines; reckless journalism" by ele-
ments "of the minority press; di-
rect appeals to men in the armed
forces, and other utterances de-
signed to impede the war effort.
