Nehru Rallies India
For War as Par|eys
Approach Climax
Reports Of Fresh Hitehes
In Negotiations Are
Heard at New Delhi
By the Associated Press.

NEW DELHI, India, April TO-
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru told
Indians today that their duty,
whatever the results of negotia-
tions with Sir Stafford Grips" 4"
was to serve and defend India
to the uttermost."
The potent leader Of the Hindu
All-India Congress Party made his
exhortauon to his countrymen in
opening campaign to rally Indians
to the defense Of their country
another omen that the delicate,
complex negotiations to give India
dominion status after the war are
approaching a climax
task of a new national government
would be to raise a militia from
the rank and file of Indias people.
In talks with Louis Johnson,
President Roosevelt's emissary,
Nehru presumably insisted that only
an Indian government could do this
Mr.. johnson was believed to have
lnQOrSeQ LnaL view.
Fresh Obstacles Reported.
Reports were heard Of fresh
bitches in Sir Stafford's negotiations.
Certain members of the All-India
Congress Party Working Committee
were said to have found changes in
the original British proposals un-
satisfactory now that these have
been fully explained.
The committee conferred today
for four hours and called another
session for tomorrow.
A prominent member Of the COM
mittee afterward told reporters:
The sky may be overcast and the
weather may be cloudy. Do not 20
by the weather. We are meeting to-
morrow"
The Working Committee of the
Moslem League also continued dis
cussions on the reply it intends to
give Sir Stafford, and after the
days session its president, Mohamed
Ali Jinnah, conferred with the
British negotiator.
The All-India Moslem League,
strongest voice Of the Moslem mi
nority, was said today to be ready
to associate itself with a national
government also, provided its people
were given an effective share of
power and authority.
Saying that many Indians abroad
had expressed the desire to return
home, Nehru declared 1T is the duty
OF every Indian who can do so to
return" and ct trust that those in

first week in. March and there
remained until Saturday the 28th
of March and I relate my experience
md what took place in those weeks.
The first man I contacted was
Mr.. A who was temporarily acting
in Mr.. BIS place. I asked him when
could I get my contract and Mr.. AS
remark to me was: Go back there
and see Mr.. C. He is handling the
contract. If I was handling them,
they could have already been out Of
here, and If turned over to me I
would put every stenographer in the
division on the work and get them
out of here in one to two days"
All during this time they were roll
ing furniture out of the building,
and you would actually be talking
to a man and they would come In
and get his desk and roll 1t out. 1t
was the biggest mess and chaos
that I have ever witnessed.

tions were drawn up, new plans
made and subnduted in accordance
with changes required, and verbal
award made us for a large number
OF houses. This verbal award was
confirmed by a letter of intent. The
letter Of intent had provided for
a supplemental contract to be drawn
on Or before the middle of March,
OF, an extension of time to be grant,
ed for the execution Of the supple
mental contract if not issued on or
before that date.
Early in March we received a
wire with reference to the letter of
intent extending the time until such
a time that the supplemental docu-
ments were forwarded to us.
At each time of these discussions
we were advised that action was
being taken and proceed order was
being issued in two to three weeks.
We came home and purchased over
Evening star., 1942-04-10

two million dollars worth Of ma
terial and scheduled the delivery to
meet the requirements Of the Gov
ernment as we had been advised.
Rumors began to fly fast and furi-
GUS and word leaked out that an
attempt was being made to cancel
all awards and do away with the
purchase of prefabricated portable
demountable houses in their en-
tirety, and then open up new nego-
tiations and start from scratch with
new men who want to build the
houses rigidly in accordance with
conventional construction. These
rumors came to me from the build
ing supply field from whom we were
purchasing materials from New
York to Florida and from the Pacific
Coast to the Atlantic.
A Month in the Capital.
I became alarmed, and went to
Washington the latter part of the
Evening star., 1942-04-10

I then went to see Mr.. c., whom
I was directed to see in regard to
our contract. Mr.. c. advised me
that there was a gentleman in his
Office who had been there two weeks
endeavoring to get his contract
signed, and that as soon as they
worked out all the details that he
thought the contracts would quickly
go through.
I said to Mr.. c.: 'tMr. c., am
interested in getting my contract
signed today. What Is necessary
for me to do?" And stated to
him that my contract was a simple
one, known as supply contract.
Sots of Plans Requested.
The forms for this contract were
approved by the Comptroller Cen
eral; they could make no contract
on any other form, and why any
further delay? Mr.. G. replied to
me that their legal department

Machine Guns Pour
From Detroit Plant
Ahead Of Expectation
Plane and Tank Engines,
Anti-Aireroft Weapons
Hit Production Stride
BY ALFRED TOOMBS,
Star Staff Correspondent.

IN THE DETROIT AREA, April
$50 these gentlemen signed a
contract to produce machine
guns. The contract said that
they had to produce a machine
gun within 16 months, if it killed
them.
Now these gentlemen didn't know
any more about machine guns than
Emperor Hirohito knows about
Brooklyn. They were in the business
Of making doo-dads for automobiles
in one Of the General Motors plants
near Detroit.
But they took the contract and
said they'd see what they could do
about making a machine gun in the
next 16 months.
Well, six months later they sent a
note to Washington, saying they
would appreciate it very much if
the Army would send them some
ammunition that would fit the ma
chine gun which they had built.
Stop Joking. Capital Replies.
Some one in Washington wrote
back and asked them to please stop
joking about such serious matters.
II had only been six months since
they signed the contract. said Wash
ington, and it was obviously impos-
sible to be making machine guns In
that time-especially in a plant
where nothing more than a doo-dad
had been made before.
The Detroit gentlemen wrote back
and again asked for ammunition
insisting they had built number of
machine guns by then and wanted
to see If they would shoot.
They got the ammunition and
found the guns would shoot. Now
they are turning them out faster
than an Army cook making pan
cakes for breakfast.
This is the story of the Detroit
area. The automobile people didn't
know what they were getting into
when they signed contracts for guns
and plane parts and tanks and all
other assorted accoutrements of
Mars. They didn't know how long

but had returned to the ground for
orders.
While these instructions were be-
ing issued, the Japanese struck.
Fifty-four heavy enemy bombers
roared over Clark Filed at 10000
feet and showered the grounded
planes, runways and hangers with
explosives.
Eighty-six Japanese Zero" fight
ers came in their wake and strafed
the planes, ground forces and anti
aircraft batteries in low level at
tacks.
simultaneously other bombers and
fighters dived on the parked planes
at Iba Field. They left a roaring
hell of flames at both airdromes.
Some of our planes were saved, but
the main strength Of our air force
was gone
After midnight that night jap
anese bombers came in over Manila
Bay and, aided by flares and fires
set by fifth columnists on the
ground, attacked Nichols Field on
the outskirts of Manila, where
planes assigned to defend Cavite
naval base were stationed.
Earlier Monday the Japanese air
force had struck at American out
