LANCER Will Take
Floor in Fight 10
Keep Senate Seat
Predicts Vindicution
Despite Committees
Demand for Custer
By the Associated Press.

A hot Senate fight over the seat
ing of. Senator Langer, Republican.
Of North Dakota, with the former
North Dakota Governor taking the
floor in his own behalf, was in
prospect today after a declaration
by Senator LANCER that he ex-
pected the Senate to vindicate him
of Election Committee charges.
In report yesterday, the COM
mittee said Senator LANCER had for
feited his right to become a Sem
ator because of continuous, con-
temptuous and shameful disregard
for high concepts Of public duty
and asked that he not be seated. The
original allegations were made by .
group of North Dakota petitioners
and related to Senator Langers ca
reer before coming to the Senate.
II shall vigorously protect the
seat in the United States Senate to
which I have been fairly elected
by my people," Senator LANCER said
in q statement after the commit
tees report was made public.
Il have full confidence in the
justice OF my cause and, with the
knowledge OF the falsity OF the
charges made against me, I conf
IDENTIFY expect vindication on the
floor of the Senate"
He told reporters he intended to
speak in his own behalf when the
issue was debated.
Senator LANCER was permitted to
take the oath as Senator without
prejudice" last January pending the
committees investigation Of charges
OF moral turpitude brought by North
Dakota petitioners.
The committee contended that
only majority vote was needed to
decide the question of seating the
former Governor. Supporters Of Sen
ator LANCER, however, are prepared
to contend that he is now In fact a
member Of the Senate and may
only be removed by \ two-thirds
vote required by the Constitution for
expulsion.

Van KIeffens Begins
Round Of Talks on
Dutch War Aid
Foreign Minister Will
See Van Nook, AustroIion
And American OfficiuIs
By BLAIR BOLLES.


EN-. Van Klefiens, the Neither
lands foreign minister, arrived
In Washington from London last
night, heralding by his presence
q showdown on the still lively
question whether the Allies
should make a major front of
the Southwest Pacific war area.
DR.. van Kleffens begins a round
OF talks with Hubertus van Nook,
lieutenant governor general Of the
Netherlands Indies, and Australian
and American officials. DR.. van
Nook, who has been in America al
most three weeks, is vigorous ad-
vocate Of large-scale naval and air
allied action in the southwest Pa
cific.
DR.. van Nook and those who think
As he does are said to hope they
can convince DIR. van KleffenS Of
the wisdom Of their point of view.
The foreign minister has the ear
of Queen Wilhelmina OF the Neither
lands, and it Is expected the queen
can persuade Prime Minister
Churchill that the Far Eastern
theater Of operations is more i'm
portant at the present time than the
Atlantic and Mediterranean.
Are Left Unsatisfied.
Mr.. Churchill's speech in the
House OF Commons Wednesday on
the wars progress explained his at
titude toward global strategy but
1t nevertheless left the men whose
interests lie with the Indies. Aus
tralia and the eastern Indian
Ocean region unsatisfied.
The Australians and Indies men
are arguing that the war can be lost
to the Allies in the Indies, in con-
trast to the insistence of those who
follow Mr.. Churchill that the war
can only be won by the Allies In
the West-in Europe and Africa.
Although the United States and
Great Britain during the last 10
days have greatly increased their
assistance to the Far East, more ma
terials have been urgently requested,
along with an improvement in the
plan Of supply.
Point to Macassar Strait.
The Far Eastern representatives
stressing the immediate Importance
of concentrated resistance to the
Japanese and point to the course Of
the battle of Macassar Strait in
demonstration OF what local naval
and air superiority on the part of
the Allies can accomplish.
DR.. Van Kleffens reached Wash
lngton by plane after a clipper cross
ing Of the Atlantic. He and DR.. van
Nook are the strong men Of the
Netherlands, whose own government
Is subjected to constant pulls be-
tween those in it who stress the war
against the Nazis, and those who
emphasize the battle against the
NaZis' Asiatic allies.

will be crowned with victory in
the end and in that conviction
We shall continue to resist the
enemy with all our might.
Japanese military forces are
occupying sections Of the Philip
pines comprising only one-third
OF our territory. In the remain
ing areas constitutional govern
ment is still in operation under
my authority.
Il have no direct information
concerning the veracity of the
news broadcast from Toxic that
q commission composed Of some
well known Filipinos has been
organized In Manila to take
charge of certain functions Of
civil government. The organi-
Zation Of such . commission. If
true. can have no political sig
niflcance, not only because 1t Is
charged merely with purely ad-
ministrative functions, but also
because the acquiescence by its
members to serve in the COM
mission was evidently for the
purpose of safeguarding the well
fare Of the civilian population
and can in no way reflect the
sentiments Of the Filipino toward
the enemy. Such sentiments are
still those I have repeatedly ex-
pressed In the past: Loyalty to
America and resolute resistance
against the invasion of our terri
tory and liberties"
There is nothing to report from
other areas.
Evening star., 1942-01-30

felt and reflected the mounting
strain of his nine momentous years
in the White House would be to fly
in the face of truth and to exag-
gerate human endurance.
He shows 1t today In the deep
ening of the natural darkness under
his eyes and of the sallow color Of
his skin. He shows it in the thinner
and grayer hair In recent weeks, the
presidential dentist also has found
few signs.
But Roosevelt quality which al
ways attracted envious notice was
his ability to bounce back" to show
a revival of his spirits and his physi-
cal vigor after q stretch of hard
work or loss of sleep. Reporters who
see him most often and most closely
can observe this quality today-in-
variably finding him refreshed and
almost rollicking at his Friday morn
ing press conferences, frequently
finding him slightly jaded and IA
tigued during the Tuesday afternoon
meetings.
Automobile rides into nearby 'Vir-
ginia or Maryland are infrequent
these days and never publicized.
Trips to the family home at Hyde
Park, N. Y, where Mr.. Roosevelt
enjoys most his role of landed
squire, also have been curtailed.
But on his 60th birthday ami
versary the President is playing to
the hilt and without complaint his
most important role-that of COM
mander in chief of a major portion
of the forces of liberty.
Senate Sends Greetings.
The Senate, because it is to be in
recess today. conveyed birthday
greetings to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Majority Leader Barkley told the
chamber that he spoke for every
Senator in wishing the Chief Exec
utive continued strength and many
years of peace and happiness"
Senator McNary. the Republican
leader, said he believed he spoke for
Republicans in both houses of Con-
gress in wishing good health and
happiness to the President now and
in the years to come" And then,
amid the chuckles of his colleagues,
he added:
May he reign uninterruptedly
from now to January, 1945."
The presidential term expires
then.
Keith Morgan, national chairman
Of the Presidents birthday celebra-
ton, announced in New York that
approximately 1880 parties be held
all over the Nation and that cities
in Canada and in Is South and
Central American nations would
Join in the demonstration.
Only in Honolulu were plans for
. celebration postponed because Of
martial law and the blackout.
