Speed to Arm U.S.
{Ships Urged by Hull
WASHrNGTOX, Oct 22 — Becre
tary of State Cordell Hull urged the
Senate Foreign Relations Ciunmiltiv
today to approve speedily a Hous#
- resolution lo arm American merchant
1 ships, lest American “efforts at self-
, defense cotne too late.”
Hull was the firtt wltnws at heal-
ings on tlie House approved resolu-
tion. His testimony followed a White
House conference with congressional
leaders, who reported they would
press at this tlm% only for the ship
arming bill, rather than repeal jt
the entire neutrkUty act
Senate Democratic Leader Alben
W. Barkley of Kentucky emphasised,
however, that there was "no hard and
fa^t decision on that point”
The hearings were closed but Hml
Issued copies of a prepared state.-
meat. Be said It was "both urgent
and important” to repeal prohibition
of ships aiming. He repeated but
did not emphasise bls previous con-
tention that ’ congress should repenl
Section 2, which banned Amerlcun
ships from belligerent, .ports.
Members of the committee said
that Hull testified under questioning
that the steps he favored would lot
be equivalent to a declaration of
war, but would be “short Of war.’*

IT. WORTH, Tex., Oct. 22 —The
Civil Aeronautic* Board will give
consideration to the feeder itirline
problem within tlie next 36 days.
Tliis announcement' has just lien
made by Thomas Q. Hardin, presi-
dent of Southwest Feeder Airlines.
• ■ Inc., whose company has filed for
a system of routes which will i'i-
clude stops at Navasota.
Hardin, . together with’ i'uul A.
Gareau, vice president of the com-
pany, has just returned from Wash-
ington, where a series of conference*
were held with Civil Aeronautics
Board officials and the company at-
torneys. It is expected that the
"■ board will call together the varlo.n
applicants for feeder airline sarvl.e
within the next month and make
plans for early hearings. Until now,
the urgent demands of the national
emegency have practically crowded
the question, of local air transporta-
tion, and airmail service out of the
board's program. •
Demand ITessing
The pressing demand for faster
t.ransp.ortatlon of passengers, mall
and express,. dti^ to increased de-
fense production, makes it impera-
tive that air service tie expanded
to include many cities now now serv-
ed by tire airlines. This statement
was macle today by Hardin who has
upent the past few month* in Hou It
America on a government mission.
‘ Returning to Fort Worth, the com
pony’s headquarter, he will devote
his entire time to his duties as pres
Ident of Southwest Feeder Airlines.
The company has asked for a certi
fleate to serve'253 points in eight
middle and southwestern states. Sur-
veys made during the past summe*
throughout the territory, ' showed a
definite lack of iRlequwie transpni1-
tation facilities and-a genuine need
on the part of local business for fas-
ter communication and service to
metropolitan centers.

get the highest

vestment In De.
fense Savings
Bonds?
A. By bolding
each Bond for
Its full term of
years you will secure the full ma-
turity value. A Defense Barings
Bond of Series E Incresses in value
33 1-8 percent if held 10 years.
Q. Is the government
over whether I buy my Defense Sav-
ings Stamps at postoffices, banks,
saving^ and loan institutions, retail
Stores, or elsewhere I
A. No. The government is Inter,
rated in having as many persona aa
possible lake a band In the National
I'efeaae Program. Toward that end
the Treasury Is making Bonda and
Stump* available for purchase in the
largest number of places possible.
Note—-To buy Defense Banda and
