B—4 Republican Women Hear Brewster Senator Urges Central Supply Agency for War Vigorous support of the industrial mobilization plan, advanced for use in a national emergency by Army | authorities in 1939 and supported also by the Navy, was voiced yes- terday by Senator Brewster, Re- publican, of Maine. Speaking before the League of Republican Women, Senator Brew- ster pointed out the need of a cen- tral authority empowered to func- tion as a procurement agency for | the Army, Navy and Air Corps and for civilian defense agencies. Supplies for the Army, Navy and Air Corps should be obtained upon | immediate certification from these | services, he contended, without the present method of having to “un- wind endless reams of red tape.” This would be possible, he explained, if sufficient purchasing power were placed in & central procurement | agency. | “Some think this agency already exists in the Office of Production | Management,” he remarked. “The O. P. M. has not the power to place | a single order,” he declared. “It| merely occupies an advisory capaci- | ty to other departments, many of | which may be trying to secure the same things.” Shortage of Aluminum “Tragic Situation.” He described the shortage of | aluminum as a “tragic situation” which could have been avoided if steps had been taken a year ago | when the shortage was suggested. “The suggestion was highly re- sented by certain high officials,” he commented, “who later admitted a | shortage did exist.” Senator Brewster denounced a re- cent controversy which, he stated, had taken place between Secretary of Commerce Jones and Secretary of the Interior Ickes. He declared | that the controversy had impeded the establishment of necessary | aluminum plants and added that | “all we have gotten so far is quar- rels and no aluminum.” The Senator expressed disapproval of a plan proposed by Senator Van- denberg of Michigan that a com: mittee be established to advise ol the conduct of the war. “Such a committee was formed in 1863," he said, “and nearly caused | the destruction of the United Btates.” | He pointed out that the President, | given authority by the Constitution as Commander in Chief in war time, alone should possess the powel to advise on the conduct of the war, Senator Brewster urged members | of the league to support President | Roosevelt, declaring that “only in the rising stature of the President | will come that victory that will | save not only America but the en- tire world.” “Help Make Roosevelt As Great as Lincoln.” “We must help make Roosevelt as great a leader as Washington and Lincoln,” he added. “His fail- ure will be the failure of the Amer- ica we know. We must rededicate ourselves to the ideals of Lincoln and America and the cause of this country. If victory depends upon the loyalty of Republicans there may be no fear as to the outcome, he declared | Faith in the strength of the Na- | tion was voiced by the Senator.| § “Those who think that America has | become enfeebled by luxuries never | before known will realize that deep down there still lie those poten- | tialities of progress which have car- ried America so far,” he declared. “We Republicans must not onl; function as a minority and as patriotic Americans, but we must rededicate ourselves as Christians to that Guidance without which we cannot hope to survive,” he con- cluded. Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, league president, presided at the meeting. Traffic in Lisbon Port Restricted by Portugal By the Associated Press. BERLIN, Jan. 6 (Official Broad- cast) —Dispatches from Lisbon yes- terday reported Portuguese military authorities had decreed no ships would be permitted to enter or leave the port of Lisbon without special | permission from the Portuguese | Navy. The dispatches pointed out the | order was issued shortly after a| British patrol boat, damaged at sea by German air attack, had put in to Lisbon Harbor for repairs at| night. The decree, according to these reports, said any ship attempting| : to enter the Tejo River without permission would come under the fire of the Fortress Sao Juliano.
