Inquiry to Make Sure Forces Are Dominant, Vinson Asserts By the Associated Press, intends to find out whether the United States is get- ting a “Navy second to none” with & minimum of delay. As Europe's war neared an “all- out” stage, the House Naval Com- mittee put at the top of its sched- file a thoroughgoing survey of the warship building and fleet aviation programs. Announcing hearings would start MARTHA | next week, Chairman Vinson said last night the purpose of the ex- traordinary inquiry was to make sure the Nation’s sea forces would be “dominant” on the oceans and in the air over them. There were signs, he continued, that the fleet building program was not proceeding as rapidly as it should, despite the fact that Con- gress had voted every dollar re- quested by the Navy. The advisability of putting the fleet _construction on a 24-hour-a- day footing would be considered, he said. The committee, he added, also would seek information on whether the Walsh-Hesley Act and other laws governing ‘wages and hours of men employed on Government con- tracts were hampering speedy naval expansion. Shortage of Instructors. The Senate’s attention was di- rected to the Army’s air force by Senator Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts, who said the short- age of flying instructors threatened to become a “serious bottleneck” in the country’s plans for aerial de- fense Testimony by Air Corps officers before a Military Appropriations Subcommittee, he said, indicated the Army had available only 300 competent instructors to train pilots. Each instructor, it was said] could handly only five pupils. “Apparently we can get the planes that we need for our defense force,” Senator Lodge observed, “but I think we ought to have a larger standing force of pilots. Every bit of testimony before the committee and all of the reports coming from Europe are convincing that military pilots cannot be improvised on short notice.” Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma said Germany’s invasion of Holland and Belgium “should make us take the same steps to per- fect our military machine as if we had already declared war.” Senator Thomas, chairman of an Appropriations Subcommittee han- dling army funds, said the United States should proceed as soon as pos- sible to establish a fully equipped army of 400,000 men. Only 75,000 now are fully equipped, he said. “Germany is making a drive to end the war before her enemies are {ully prepared,” Senator Thomas de- clared. “If she had struck sooner, she would have had a better chance of anw‘nm she has nv:‘.” Senaf Iye, Republican, of North Dakota, critic of administration for- eign policies, said the invasion of the low countries was “no great surprise, but probably means that the battle- ground for beginning of the real war has been set.” “It's pretty much the same old ———e In Memoriam MILLER, SARAH K.

NEW YORK, May 10.—The Neth- erlands “with indignation” has in- formed Germany that there is ab- solutely no truth to the charge that she “has entered into any agree- ment whatsoever—of an inimical nature—with any foreign power and which would have been aimed against Germany.” Speaking over an N. B. C. net- work, Dr. Alexander Loudon, the Netherlands Minister to the United States, said he had talked with the Foreign Office at The Hague by tele- phone and received the following statement from the Minister of Foreign Affairs which “I read to you as I got it over the oceanic phone: “‘With indignation, our majesty’s government refutes the allegation’ and insinuations that the Dutch government had entered into any agreement whatsoever—of an in- imical nature—with any foreign power and which would have been aimed against Germany.’ “I continue with the Foreign Min- ister’s sthtement: “‘Due to this unprecedented at- tack without any warning on the part of the German government, the Netherlands government considers herself at war with the German Reich.’ - “My foreign minister also told me that a division of Nazi parachute troops have landed in the province of Holland, but are meeting with stubborn and dogged resistance by the Dutch 1st Army Corps. At sev- eral points, our army has the situa- tion well in hand. “Her majesty the Queen has met the situation with remarkable forti- tude and calm.” Dr. Loudon sald it was two hours after the German invasion began that the German Minister to the Netherlands handed his government the Nazi declaration read over the air in Berlin. “Various bombardments are still underway,” he continued, “but as far as we know they were aimed at military objectives. . “This attack on the Netherlands is without example in the world’s history. We had not been warned. “We didn’t even receive an ulti- matum.” Dr. Loudon said that in invading his country “Germany has outdone itself once again as a civilized na- tion.” “There is nothing much to say,” the weary Minister added. “The American public is intelligent enough German lies and these cowardly \means of warfare,” bn’ttleground of the ages and once more emphasized how lucky this country is,” Senator Nye said. Legislation Progresses. The move to review the operation of present naval building programs coincided with the progress of leg- islation authorizing an additional 11 per cent expansion of the fleet at an estimated cost of $655,000,000. Unanimously, the Senate Naval Committee recommended yesterday that the Senate pass the House-ap- proved bill authorizing construction of 19 battle craft and 21 auxiliaries, Recognizing the possibility that developments in the European war may dictate drastic changes in the design of fighting ships, the Senate committee rejected, 5 to 3, a pro- posal to make the 19 new warships | - a permanent addition to the fleet—a proposal that would permit the Navy to replace them without further per- mission when they wore out. Chair- man Walsh said a majority felt im- provements might be so marked in the next few years that the Navy ought to consult Congress again before it replaced any of the ships. On the other hand, committee members voted to give the Navy a freer rein in shifting about the 160,~ 000 tons of combat ship construction contemplated under the measure so that it could build larger and more heavily armored plane carriers and cruisers if the need for them became apparent. A limitation of 33,400 tons was As a further aid in speeding tech- Democrat, of Rhode Island, won ap- for the creation of a naval consult- ing board of seven members.

More than 200 per- sons attended the meeting at the Continental Hotel, “England today is crying for her manhood,” he said. “France is of- fering prizes to mothers.
