S. War Materials Going to Axis Powers, Claims Solon; Committee Seeks Official Comment Washington, June 4 JP) Tha house rules committee voted today to ask for official comment on assertions by Rep. Coffee (O.-Wash.) that huge supplies of United States war materials are t be licensed for shipment to the axis powers and Russia. Chairman Sabbath (D.Jll.)l announced that the committee would hear General R. L. Max well, administrator of export control; representatives of the state department, Coflee and a dozen other congressmen tomor row in executive session. Coffee told the committee that 600,000 barrels of high-test gaso line had been shipped to Japan alone during March, 1941, and commented: "Now we face fsoline-less Sundays. Shipments of materials of war, such as machine tools, ail and manufacturing equipment, to Russia "have increased BOO per cent recently. Coffee said, add' Ing that some of such supplies were being sent to Germany and Italy. Coffee said In a statement that the materials were going to the axis through "third parties" and 'dummies." He urged the com mitter to permit immediate con sideration on the floor of the house of his resolution (HCR 30) calling for a congressional in vestigation on the situation. "American and even British cnmpnnles are selling supplies to the axis against the spirit of our defense effort il not against the letter of the law," he said. tie said that a contract re cently was reported to have been renewed under which United State and British oil companies were delivering millions of bar rels of oil to Japan from the Netherlands East Indies. There also had been reports, he said, of oil exports from California to Japan and of oil deliveries by United States and British com panies from South America and the West Indies to neutral Afri can ports. "Trade in war materials is the least of our dealings with axis powers," Coffee said. "American companies are par ticipants with these powers In international patent pools. In surance pools, shipping pools, cartel agreements, gold pur chases, financial arrangements wherbey money, credit and in telligence are exchanged solely to the advantage of 'double-dea.-lng patriots' in America and their axis partners. "An investigation cf present conditions now may lead to measures which could shorten the war by several tars. In deed it might result in changing its entire outcome. On the other hand, an apathetic atti tude towards the double-dealing rituatlons which now exist may lend to disaster."

The industry's report said the east would begin to feel a pet roleum deficiency by July 1 and this vould be intensified pro gressively into autumn and the next year. The oil men. here for talks with government officials, rec ommended creation of an Indus trj committee and its spokesmen pledged cooperation "to any ex tent" in meeting needs of au) ply. Formed at the request of the office of production manage ment the industry committee submitted its report to Secretary Ickes, recently designated by President Roosevelt as petroleum coordinator for nationnl defense. "Any restriction that may be necessary by reason of national defense." the report said, "should be shared equitably by the en tire western hemisphere, or at least by all of the United States."
