Defense Speedup
Tackled by FDR
Commission Change Eyed;
Knudsen Sends Urgent
Note to Industry
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1 .-&)-President
Roosevelt returned from
a Caribbean cruise today to tackle
the problem of speeding up rearm
ament In a situation described by
William 8. Knudsen as one of
"terrlblle urgency."
The chief -executive came home
to find the capital absorbed in
speculation as to whether he
might give the chairmanship of
the defense commission, and with
it substantial powers over indus
try, to Knudsen. Many persons
close to the defense program ad
vocated such a step; other high of
ficials were as firmly opposed to
any fundamental change in the
setup of the commission, which
which now has no chairman.
Action Forecast
To many analysts, some major
presidential move seemed fore
shadowed by Mr. Roosevelt's state
ment yesterday that he hoped to
visit Warm Springs, Ga., again
next spring "if the world sur
vives."
Knudsen, former president of
General Motors corporation and
now production chief for the de
fense commission, spoke briefly In
letters made public today to ma
chine tool manufacturers and
their employes.
Declaring that nothing waa more
vital to the country's welfare Just
now than to hasten the production
of machine toola "deanerately
needed" to make airplanes, torpe
do boat destroyers and-other weap
ons, Knudsen wrote the manufac
turers:
"I'm not telling you how to do
your Job. But If you could see as
I do, from the inside, the terrible
urgency of the situation, you
would agree with me that I am
not asking too much In requesting
that you use every conceivable ef
fort to speed np delivery and In
crease the production of machine
toola during IS 41. Let's forget ev
erything except the welfare of our
country.
"The Industry as a whole has
done practically the Impossible In
trebling Us rate of output In the
last two years. I am appealing to
you to do the Impossible again."
In other letters addressed to
machine tool workers, and de
signed for posting on bulletin
bosrds In their plants. Knudsen
said they were even more impor
tant than soldiers and sailors to
day because the latter were help
less without munitions.
"Every day. hour and minute
saved by greater efficiency helps
Uncle Sam arm that much faster.

Bridges Is "Red"

Comments Briefly as to
Long Report; Labor
Leader Denies
MIAMI BEACH. Fla.. Dt.-iP)
J. Edgar Hoover, head of the
federal bureau of investigation
said today a 2000-word report re
cently filed with the attorney gen
eral convinced him that Harry
Bridges, west coast labor leader,
Is a communist and that the com
munist party advocates the over
throw of the United States govern
ment.
tie maae tne assertion in an
interview.
Hoover declined to divulge the
exact nature of the "factual evi
dence" about communism he said
the report contained, and he
would not predict what action
would be taken in Bridges ease.
Bridges, bead of the CIO long
shoremen's unions on the Pacific
coast, has been the center of
controversy in and out of con
gress for many months and the
status of his cltlzenshln has been
Investigated by the labor and Jus
tice departments.
Hoover M rha fslnrl hnraan
of Investigation had no authority
to order Bridges' deportation.
Neither can it arrest any person
for merely holding membership
in the communist party, be ex
plained, adding that only congress
can outlaw any group.
"We are an investigating agen

gate and report," Hoover contin
ued.
The attorney general probably
win can public hearings on the
report. Hoover predicted.
The FBI is checking on 10.000
reports of fifth column activity.
Hoover reported, and the O-men
have assembled a "defense in
dex" of 6000 names of "potential
enemies or tne nation." The Index,
he explained, contains the names
of every communist leader and
every member of the German-
American bund.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. li-JP)
-Harry Bridges, California CIO
director who was labeled a com
munist today by J Edgar Hoover,
left tonight for Washington after
declaring the federal bureau of
investigation chief was "lying and
he knowa it."
Bridges' office said there was
no connection between his trip -to
Washington and Hoover's state
ment in Mlamt, and that the labor
leader had the Journey planned
for some time. The nature of his
rlslt was not revealed.

Otto Abetz Goes
To Vichy Capital
Hint Seen That Ouster of
Laval, Other Petain
Acts not Liked
By CHARLES H. GUPTILL
BERN. Switcerland. Dec. 10-
UP)-Adolf Hitler sent Otto Abets
his Paris representative, to Vichy
today for conferences with Chief
of State Marshal Philippe Petain
and foreign observers here be
lieved the visit might mean life
or death tor the reorganised
French government possibly
even : total nazl occupation of
France.
What the future holds for the
old marshal'a regime, these ob
servers said, hinges on what ex
planation he gives Abett, some
times called the "unofficial king
of France," regarding the sudden
dismissal of Pierre Laval as vice-
premier and foreign minister.
Authorized sources in Berlin
said the cabinet upheaval at Vichy
came as a surprise. They said
also that not until Germany has
obtained full Information con
cerning the purpose, intentions
and effects of the change would
the nasi press event be permitted
to publish the news ot Laval's
dismissal.
Speculation Futile
uerman-French relations may
or may not be affected decisively
by Petaln'a action, the Berlin of
ficials said, and added that any
speculation is uaeless.
Berlin reports Indicated the
Germans are nnconvinced that
France, minus Laval, remained
likely recruit for the axis-pro
jected "new order in Europe."
. Abetz. the first important Ger
man official to Tistt Vichy sinee
the armistice, presumably was to
determine whether Petaln'a aaaur-
ance that nothing la changed in
French-German relations could be
taken at face value.
The belief was expressed In some
diplomatic quarters here that to
reassure the Germans, the mar
shal would have to follow his
statement with action. This might
include g 1 r 1 n g Plerre-Etienne
Flandln, Laval'a successor as fo
reign minister, the same power
