GALLAGHER, Clerk CONGRESS m M MM IV [ bail annul 50,009 people crowded the Zoo here in Washington last Sunday, to watch the various animals which are brought here from all over the world. One commentator, after visiting the Zoo, said that “none of the animals were fighting.” The fighting among human beings is the first topic of conversation in Washington. Six big battleships now under construction at a cost of half a billion dollars with more author ized, may have to undergo some changes, because the big Navy men in their navy expansion program did not figure that bombs from war planes could be so destructive. Word from Norway and what our Secretary of the Navy saw during the spring war practice on the Pa cific Ocean has started a great stir among the builders of fighting ships. Armor will have to be plac ed on the decks of many* of our ships, and plans will have to be redrafted and there will have to be some reconstruction to protect ships from air attacks. Claims and counter-claims are being made on all sides, but sufficient is already known to indicate that bombing planes are dangerous to naval craft. PLANES WITH ARMOR EVigland and France are buying thousands of bombing planes in this country, but they are not buy ing warships. The reason for that is believed to be that those coun tries are building ships to meet the new danger from the air. Many changes are also being made in the construction of our new war planes in order to protect them from anti-aircraft weapons. Word from Europe is that planes there are equipped with gasoline tanks which are self-sealing after being penetrated by a bullet, armor to protect the pilot and armor to protect the ship itself. Why American planes have not been equipped with this protective equip ment heretofore is not known. That this was no secret during the last war was verified by a statement by a government employee in the Farm Credit Administration, who flew with the American fighting forces in Eui’ope during the last war. This employee has been dec orated by three countries, includ ing our own. He shot down enemy planes and he himself has been shot down. He tells of flying a fighting ship for France during the last war, w'hich was equipped with self-sealing gasoline tank, armor for the protection of the pilot and armor for the protection of the plane itself. He even states that some planes twenty to tv/enty-two years ago were equipped with can non instead of the low calibre machine guns. Harry Hopkins and Marvin Mc Intyre may never again be able to don harness and do real work, ac cording to their friends who say both men are suffering from ill nesses from which they may never recover. Hopkins has been in town several times recently but he is not a well man. Years ago, when Judge Willis G. Scars of Omaha was a Congress man from Nebraska, he gave three ears of corn to Congressman Kerr of North Carolina. Kell tells col leagues that he planted this Ne braska corn and broke all produc tion records in that southern state. The federal highway authoriza tion bill for 1942 has been given a rule and will come into the House soon. It has many new provisions, but is lacking Adminsitration ap proval. Fears are expressed that it may never again see daylight this year. If that happens, the forty-odd state legislatures, which meet biennially to plan their road programs two years in advance, may have to devise new road plans. Many members are watching this bill in an effort to continue the regular method of federal aid road construction. The measure auth orizes $125,000,000 for each of the years 1942 and 1943 and also in cludes fifty millions for grade crossing elimination, and twenty five million dollars for farm-to market roads. It is an authoriz ation bill and not an appropria-( tion bill. During the last six years, we have sold Japan 8,520,811 tons of scrap iron, a total greater than what we have sold to all other na tions combined, including Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia and Italy. This has made possible Japan’s huge navy building pro gram as well as enabling her to carry on her conquest of China. In 1934 Japan served notice on the ' United States and Great Britain 1 that the 5-5-3 navy ratio treaty j between the three nations would no i longer be considered binding upon i Japan. Japan's scrap iron pur I chases from the United States I more than trebled during the time I following that notice, averaging ' 1,420,000 tons annually since that | time. By selling our scrap iron to ; Japan, we are depleting our own [ valuable and necessary resources, and at the same time heaping huge additional tax burdens upon the American people for naval con struction in order to meet the com petition which our exports of scrap iron to Japan make possible. KEEP OUT OF WAR Friday, May 10, brought mem bers of the House and Senate to their offices with newspapers in their hands and many were found in groups with anxious faces and many queries. Radio sets in the Capitol building were kept turned on. Members who were here when this country joined the allies in the first world war, told their col leagues that: “It’s exactly like it was before the last war.’’ Mem bers sat quietly as a few members took the floor to say that it was time to say “little about the w'ar— to remain calm—to complain to the Secretaries of War or Navy if you have criticisms—and it’s time to keep America out of the war and the war out of America.’’ Al though propoganda of all kinds has started to work up sentiment in America, the general sentiment up to this hour in Congress is that the war over in Europe is not our war and that we are going to do every thing that is humanly possible to stay out. But the President's de claration for peace was discussed seriously. There is a unanimous feeling that Uncle Sam better keep his powder dry and have every thing in readiness right now for real defense. Community Clubs ought to get busy right now and advertise their towns and places of interest, be cause tourists are going to stay in the United States this year. An inspection at the passport office of the Department of State shows very few people now want pass ports to leave America. Millions in other countries want to come here but those who are here are going to stay. The millions spent in foreign travel each year will be spent at home this summer. Several inquiries arrive asking the meaning of “M-Day.” It means “Mobilization Day” and it has come to nearly every neutral country in the world including some countries which have remained at peace for over 100 years and now find them selves invaded. The American In dustrial-Mobilization Plan is a plan to mobilize every human be ing in our land. It would tem porarily supercede the Constitu tion “in order to meet the neces sities of modern warfare.” Lead ers here are sincere in their hope that it will not have to be applied here and that we will never be called upon to sacrifice democracy in America, to go to war to pre serve the liberties of all the peo ple of the world for fear we may be forced to give up our own liber ties. At this hour, leaders here, in cluding the President, feel that the only safe course for America is to CMC owner* report 15% to 40% saving*!

Once it was a "light bill," and rates were considered high. Today it is a service bill, for a multitude of electric appliances that all work for only a few pennies a day. Rates here compare favorably with those anywhere in the United States—and the average cost to all our residential customers is less than 9 cents a day. Consider all that electric service does for you, and you'll realize how cheap it really is.
