Senators Oppose; Continued from page 17 ble-auiejc" time,, while Rep. Mar- ' tin of Massachusetts, the house minority leader, said , ' "Republi cans are united in eyeity effort to ImproTe defenses." r The controversy was the first . of consequence to greet any part of his expanded defense program. The guards, an outgrowth of old state militias distinct from the regular army, number 24O,fr0O men and at present can be called to duty by the president only with the consent of state governors. Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich) led off In criticizing the request, declaring on the senate floor that is was shocklng "It'aonnds," he said, "like a re- . quest for power to order at least partial mobllliatiou by executive authority alone. "If we are tnat close to an em ergency, congress had better stay : in session and' exercise Its consti- tutional function with respect to mobilkatlon."! ' ' ' Senators Wheeler (R-Monti and. .Bridges (R-NH) agreed that congress should . stay on the job, but Senator Minion (D-Ind) ob served: 4 ; "If, we bare to. use our regular army, to police, adjacent shores that may come under our protec tion due to the events in Europe, guard and the reserve would be needed at home." While the controversy raged among senate members,-Secretary Wandrlnr announced that the war department had no ' intention of recommending at this time that the guardsmen be summoned to active duty. This issue ; shared attention with an announcement that the navy, cancelling a voyage by 1100 midshipmen to Rio De Ja neiro, Brazil, had rearranged their annual practice cruise to keep three battleships! nearer home ports. Secretary Edison dis closed that the Cruise, starting June 8, would take the training squadron to the Newport, RI, area instead of the Brazilian cap- Itol. The cruise is to be made by the flagship Texas and the Ar kansas aad New York, the most powerful ships of the Atlantic squadron. The president's recommenda tions would increase the current arms program3 to more than $4, 300,000,000. Besides laying em phasis: on planes and other me chanical equipment, which ' are 1 playing such a part in the- "in credible events. the president outlined a vast program of "ex panding factories and other mili tary production facilities, and of' training 'our: peppie, ana es pecially our young people, for employment in industry and in service in the army and navy." in line with i reports that 1, 000, 000 persona would be thus trained, he told the legislators: i 1 "It is imperative that we make full and effective use of the mighty capacities that lie in our population." Secretary of the Treasury Mor genthau appeared before . the house ways and means commit tee to contend that the public wanted to be taxed for defense, and that both taxes and an in- crease In the national debt lim it sqw 45,C00,e00, 00 were "essential." Republicans questioned Mor genthau regarding government finances. Rep. I McLean (R-NJ) expressed the view that the tax hill was a 'tvehtcle" to, finance ordinary peace-time expenditures as well as extraordinary defense spending: '..'-"'. Morgenthan agreed that part of the revenue was to go to pay ordinary, as well as extraordinary expenses of the war and navy de partments. . - . The . secretary estimated that the treasury's . borrowing- power would be exhausted next Feb." 28, if additional revenue or. a - Oeb limit Increase were not provided. He predicted that the .deficit for the fiscal year starting,' next July 1 would bfc $3.7O3.00,00d. Dan iel Bell, undersecretary of the treasury, said the gross debt as of May-25, was 342787,000,000.

Angell (R, Ore.) declared in a radio address last night that congress shoyld not sign a "blank check to the presi dent . . . and go home." The body should . remain In ses sion Indefinitely to complete the defense program and solve domes tic problems, Angell said. "The days of the rubber stamp congress are over," he added. "Only In dictatorships and totali tarian states do the legislative bodies surrender their functions to the executive and quit in times of peace. The congress is deter mined that America shall keep out of war. "National defense means more than guarding our frontiers from foreign foes. We must not over look those, who would undermine the foundations of our liberties from boring from " within. Let there be no plae in America for fifth columns, Trojan horses or parachutists. .

Japan Interested In Peace Details TOKYO, May 31-(Friday)-! -Circles close to the government said today that Japan, highly concerned in the fate of the Dutch East Indies, would demand a voice in any settlement of the European war.

The Japanese government was pictured as viewing with uneasi ness the prospect that these val uable raw materials would be di verted entirely to Germany, cut ting off shipments usually going to Japan.

BERLIN, M a y Sl-iflVThe bloody triumph In Flanders was hailed in Germany tonight as an overpowering blow against Brit ish and French morale, and a Ju bilant populace speculated on where Hitler next will strike. The only official hint of the next order was the high com mand's enigmatic announcement" that the bulk of the nasi legions in Flanders "now are released for new tasks." The Flanders cleanup, in the nasi view, entailed only counting the prisoners and evaluation of booty plus the harrying of the escaping allies with land guns, bombers and the quick-striking mosquito fleet In the channel. During the day the Germans claimed one enemy destroyer was sunlr off the Belgian coast by a dashing torpedo boat, whih rep resents the nazi version of a blitikrieg-gone-to-sea. In the German capital, the question on every tongue was where the next blow might fall; whether it would be directed deeper into France in the wake of a new propaganda campaign with obvious Italian implications or against England, the original long-range objective of the -Ger man war aims. Bound up in the question of future activity was the course of axis partner Italy, In Italian circles, it was said that Premier Mussolini's entry would be a surprise move that would announce Itself in due course. So confident were the Germans of ultimate victory after their smashing 3-weeks conquest of The Netherlands, Belgium and northern France that there was a common tendency to set ionn hazi war aims again. The authoritative Dienst Aus Deutschland , stated that England and France "will be banished in some form to roles of European border areas." "It is not difficult to see on what basis a new order of peace would develop," Dienst said, fits backbone, according to Berlin views, would be the Berlin-Rome axis." Dienst said that smaller na tions would retain ''their natural and legitimate living-rights" but that there would . be no place in the new European picture for England and France.

This brought a heated reply from Norristhat Wiley "had fought everything President Roo sevelt had proposed until this came along and that ought to be enough to make the president sus picious of this." Byrd said he had "full confi dence in J. Edgar Hoover abd hoped that the immigration serv ice would be "placed under Mr. Hoover'S direction."
