Will Make Trouble =
Chandler Predicts
Three-Point Program
Offered by Senator
To Solve Problem

Charging that the 10 japanese
Relocation Centers in the Mid
west will make trouble for this
country" because the loyal and
the disloyal have been thrown
together, Senator Chandler,
Democrat, of Kentucky today
made public three recommended
tions Of a Military Affairs Sub
committee to solve the problem.
The recommendations are:
/. That the draft laws be applied
to Japanese the same as to all citi-
zens OF the United States. 2. That
those determined to- be disloyal be
placed in internment camps. 3. That
'the loyal, able-bodied be allowed to
go out and work under proper su-
pervision to areas where they will
be accepted, subject to Army ap-
proval.
Adoption of these proposals would
render the relocation centers unnec-
essary except for the possible re-
tention of one to house the aged and
orphan chlldren, Senator Chandler
said.
Those in charge of the reloca-
ton centers are good people, but
they are undertaking to treat it as
social experiment., Senator
Chandler declared. =.
Procedure Under Study.
After the Military Committee lis
tened to the report of the subcom-
mittee in executive session, Chair
man Reynolds said Senator Chan
dler was authorized to confer with
the President as to course of ac-
ton.
Senators Chandler and Austin,
Republican, OF Vermont, said the
question to be settled is whether to
pass legislation or recommend presi-
Dental action by executive order.

Unwilling to Delay
Croft's Escape

BY the Associated Press.
A submarine skipper whose
last gallant order, take her
down." sealed his own death SEN
tence, was credited by the Navy
today with successful attacks on
three Japanese ships, the last of
which the sub rammed in a dra-
matte night fight for life.
1t was in this final action some-
where in the distant Pacific that
the officer rode the coming tower
of his submerging submarine to his
death rather than expose the craft
or crew to enemy gunfire.
He had been wounded q few mo-
ments before and knew that the
time required to get him safely into
the submarine might mean the subs
destruction.

Subsidy Wins

BY the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt was re-
ported today to have approved the
principle of subsidizing the cost
of living with Government
money.
Usually well-informsd sources
within the Administration said the
President had indorsed the general
idea but there were conflicting re-
ports as to what, If any, specific
plan of action is in prospect.
It was recalled that for over a
year subordinate Government off,
cials have advanced plans to grant
subsidies to producers to avoid
boosting prices to consumers, but
that such proposals have run into
snags, opposition and delay.
One report was that the Presi-
dent has approved the use of $780,
100000 to bring down the cost, to
the public, of meat. canned goods
and coffee. Other sources, however,
doubted whether the President had
approved such details.

President Declares

Of WLB Plan to Offer

President Roosevelt said today
he looks on the miners who are
now digging coal under Govern
ment supervision as employees of
the United States, but he de-
clined to give direct answer as
to whether he believed this would
preclude a strike in the event of
a failure eventually to work out
a contract with the operators.
At the same time the President
secuted reports that members of
the War Labor Board plan to resign

The President was asked If, under
his order to Fuel Administrator
1ckes authorizing seizure Of the
mines, the workers are employees of
the Government and If so whether
they would have the right to strike
against the Government.
Discontinuance Not Suggested.
In response to the first part of
the question the President said he
believed the answer was yes. To
the second, he recalled that he had
been in the Government a great
many years and that he could not
remember any strikes by Govern
ment employees.
The President frequently has
pointed out that Government en-
ployes are restricted by their oaths
of Office from striking.

Published reports have said that
the Davies mission is for the purpose
of arranging meeting between
President Roosevelt and the Rus

at the Casablanca Conference when
Mr.. Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill got together, and it has
been reported from time to time
that the President is anxious to talk
to Stain across the table.
In emphasizing that Mr.. Davies,
who was Ambassador to Russia in
1868, was carrying sealed COM

summed up by saying Mr.. Davies

guesses almost always were wrong.
Davies to Return at Once.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he assumed his
personal envoy would learn the con-
tents of the document in Moscow,
discuss them, then return at once.
To an inquiry as to whether Mr..
Davies would bring reply, the Chief
Executive asserted that his question
er was assuming the letter called for
reply.
"Will it?" he was asked.
With grin, he replied that no one
had seen the letter except himself
and his personal secretary, Miss
