several amendments would be
offered, among them:
l. Reduction in the ceiling on
the American contribution for
UNRRA from ST $50 900 900 to $675,-
900 600.
2. Restriction against use Of any
OF the funds for educational pur-
poses.
3. A clause to assure relief for the
people of India.
4. A guarantee that 80 per cent of
the American contribution would be
used for supplies purchased in this
country.
5. Stipulation that UNRRA work
would be devoted exclusively to re-
lief, with none of the funds going
for rehabilitation.
Representative Vorys. Republican,
of Ohio, member of the Foreign
Affairs Committee, told the House
UNRRA is not political and not a
agency.
Replying to criticism that the ST.
$50, 600, 900 constituted an appropria-
ton, Mr.. Vorys said that figure is
merely limitation and that any
funds provided would still have to
be voted by Congress.
ForeSees Approval.
YOU'RE on the spot with UNRRA,"
Mr.. Vorys said, adding that "it is
that Congress would
refuse to approve the program.
Mr.. Vorys declared that you can't
budget human suffering" and if the
United States does not contribute
its share, the whole thing will fail"
He challenged Miss Summers con-
tention that the measure was un-
constitutional, declaring that any
constitutional question had been
eliminated by submission of the pro-
posal to Congress.

Patterson Says Army
Plans Prompt Release
of Industry After War
BY the Associated Press,

]
CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Undersec-
retary of War Robert P. Patterson
said today that total production for
war Is increasing, not diminishing
but the War Department is actively
planning for the prompt return of
industry to peacetime production
with as little dislocation as possible
Asserting that industrial recon-
version will be at least as difficult.
and will take at least as long" as
the original conversion to war pro-
duction, Mr.. Patterson told the
United States Conference of Mayors
the planning We now do for re-
conversion is in the nature of in
Surance"
The War Department does not
consider the war to be nearly over
nor even that the end is in sight
Mr.. Patterson told the mayors. but
added. I'VE must now begin to think
about the world after the war if
we are not to lose the fruits of
the very victory for which we are
fighting"
so Per Cent Of Industry at War.
Mr.. Patterson said about so per
cent OF all industry is engaged in
war production and that about 20
per cent is totally converted. The
task of reconversion, he explained,
is somewhat lightened by the virtual
certainty that the war will not end
at once in all theaterS. He expressed
the belief that "a year or more"
might well elapse between the COL
lapse of Germany and the surrender
of Japan
Discussing current Examinations of
war contracts, Mr.. Patterson said
they do not signify a letdown in
production, but rather constant re-
vision of requirements as the condi-
tions OF war shift and new weapons
are developed.
He listed the following as the prime
planks in the War Departments re-
conversion platform: /. Termina-
ton settlements must be negotiated
by the procurement agencies, and
must be final, subject to reopening
only if evidence is developed of
fraud. No third party must have a
hand in the settlement. 2. There
should be central, Government
wide agency to formulate policy.
3. There should be central disposal
agency for surplus Government
property. 4. There should be a COM
prehensive system of financial aid
to war contractors pending final
settlement.
Calls for Political Courage.
Speaking on the same program,
Representative Manasco, Democrat,
OF Alabama, warned that America
must make better preparation for
peace than she did for war, "or rev.
olution might follow" He estimated
% ,OO0, 900 persons will be demobilized
when the war ends-15, 900 900 of
them industrial workers and the rest
members of the armed forces.
Unless we all show more political
courage during the bad days ahead
we will have nothing to pass on to
the next generation except worthless
bonds and totalitarian govern
ment," he said

House UNRRA Backers
Seek 10 Dispel Fears
MAiding Red Europe
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Bipartisan hackers OF United
States participation in postwar
rehabilitation sought today to
puncture a claim that it would
help Premier Stain of Russia be-
come dictator of Europe.
A resolution authorizing this
country to participate in the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration to the extent. Of ST.
10000, 900 met stiff opposition in its
first appearance on the House floor
yesterday.
The Stain dictatorship cry was
raised by Representative Sumner,
Republican, of Illinois, who argued
that the Soviet leader would gain
control of most OF the liberated
countries by exercising control over
relief supplies.
No island Of Prosperity"
Earlier, the House heard an appeal
by Representative Eaton of New
Jersey, ranking Republican member
OF the Foreign Affairs Committee,
for the chamber to demonstrate
anew its belief in international COL
laboration.
Saying the United States shares
with the world the common respon-
sibility Of aiding victims of Axis ag-
greSsion, he declared it would "be
impossible for us to be an island of
prosperity in the middle Of an ocean
of adversely"
Promptly, Miss Sumner and Rep
resentative Gearhart, Republican, of
California took the floor to chal-
lenge the measures constitutionality,
arguing that the agreement for
United States participation in
UNRRA constituted a treaty which
should be submitted to the Senate
for two-thirds vote of approval.
We have taken an oath to de-
fend the Constitution" shouted Mr.
Gearhart. when are we going to
begin? This way, we will be en-
couraging the administration to go
on, and on, and on until it reaches
the point where it will draft the
peace treaty as an executive agree
ment."
Sees Threat by Stain.
In shrill voice, Miss Sumner de-
clared, Stain will use his armies to
win elections in the liberated areas"
The intensity of the debate was
demonstrated when Representative
Fish of New York, ranking Repub-
lican member of the Rules Commit
tee. said he had always admired
Churchill and Stain because they
always put their own nations in
terests first"
AS he pursued that theme and
went on to praise Miss Summers

parently interpreting the remarks |

viously angry-strode to the edge of |

Prepare for Other Blows.
Reports to Stockholm said the
Nazis were fastening their prepara-
tlonS for other Allied blows deeper
in the German-controlled areas,
tightening blackout restrictions in
parts of conquered Poland thus far
untouched by the raiding planes.
Last nights raid was the first
heavy attack on Hitler's capital
since the night of January and the
11th since the start of the battle
of Berlin on November 18. In II
assaults the RAF had cascaded
more than 5000 long tons of bombs
on the city.
The RAF heavy bombers last
raided Germany the night of Jan
uary IA when they plastered Bruns-
wick with 1000 tons while Mos
quitoes hit Berlin and Magdeburg
Neutral reports said the Raj attack
on Brunswick, following on the heels
Of a heavy American attack, vir-
tually erased the city from the map
The German broadcast suggested
last nights bombing force had an
ideal night for the attack.
Defenses Declared Effective.
I'm view of the weather" the
radio said, German authorities had
expected major bomber formations
would make an attack and as a re-
suit the ack-ack defenses were effec-
tive to the fullest extent from the
start"
The Germans added that in "the
first nine minutes of the raid over
two districts of Berlin alone" IS
four-engined bombers were bagged.
One report reaching Malmo,
Sweden, said the area in the neigh
borhood of the Friedrichstrasse
Railway station, in the heart of
Berlin, was heavily bombed.
