THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1940 x Ralph E. Church 10th Congressional District Washington, W. C., May 18 â€" "Our task is plain," said President Roosevelt in his message to Conâ€" gress last Thursday, requesting an immediate appropriation of $896 million for the army and navy. "The road we must take is clearly indiâ€" cated. Our defense must be invulâ€" nerable, our security absolute." That Congress is in full accord with that statement is evidenced not only by the enthusiastic reception it received at the Joint Session. It is more concretely evidenced by the fact that Congress has been giving both the Navy Department and the War Department practically every dollar of defense funds requested. We have been spending more on our army and navy, save during the peâ€" riod of the World War, than at any time in our history. And there is not the slightest doubt but that Congress will give the President the additional $896 million requested this week. The President stated "The Ameriâ€" can people must recast their thinkâ€" ing about national protection." He then pointed out how motorized armies sweep across territory at a rapid rate, how parachute troops are dropped from airplanes and landed at strategic points, how lightning attacks on airplane facâ€" tories and munition works hundreds of miles behind the lines are made; and, finally, how supposedly "peaceâ€" ful visitors" to a country are actuâ€" ally part of an enemy unit of occuâ€" pation. It was in substance an outâ€" line of the German method of warâ€" fare, and it indeed behooves us to examine our defense to be certain we can meet such an attack upon That we must "recast our thinkâ€" ing" on the essentials for an inâ€" vulnerable national defense I thorâ€" oughly agree. But it is somewhat disturbing to me, as it must be to the people generally, that it has taken the Administration so long to recognize the need to "recast our thinking." Why has it taken these recent developments in the Euroâ€" pean War for those in charge of our military and naval forces to disâ€" cover what can be done with meâ€" chanized units and with an air force? It cannot be said that the potenâ€" tial power of such a force has not been many times stressed by indiâ€" vidual Members of Congress. I canâ€" not recall that a single army or navy authorization or appropriation bill has come before Congress but that the question was raised, both in committees and on the Floor, as to why more funds were not being allotted to tanks, airplanes, training of pilots and antiâ€"airâ€"craft guns. Time and again the question was asked at the sessions of my own Committee on Naval Affairs as to why it would not be more advisable to concentrate on aircraft developâ€" ment than building large battleâ€" ships. But in every instance we were always assured that exactly what was requested was exactly what was needed. Now we are asked to "recast our thinking," beâ€" cause in the light of the war in Europe we find ourselves unpreâ€" pared. In his message to Congress the President very appropriately menâ€" tioned "the treacherous use of the ‘fifth column‘ by which persons supâ€" posed to be peaceful visitors were actually a part of an enemy unit of This Wek In Waskington Family Finished DeLaxe Service with 10% discount given for sending on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Skokie Valley Laundry ~ Phone Highland Park 3310 "‘Thanks Service" for Quick Ask About Our Weekâ€"End Special eccupation." This is a factor with which we must deal. We have beâ€" come awakened to it by the unforâ€" tunate experience of Norway. But at no time has the Dies committee, set upâ€"by the House to investigate subversive activities in the United States, â€" received cooperation from the Administration. This lack of coâ€" operation has served to handicap it in its work. There is more than substantial evidence â€" indeed it is abundantâ€"of deliberate attempts on the part of various Administration officials, constituting a part of the various Administration officials, conâ€" stituting a part of the Cabinet it self, to obstruct and embarrass that committee. That the committee has made mistakes no one will deny. But to date the committee has not had the assistance of the Executive branch of the government in throwâ€" ing light on enemies within our borâ€" ders. f Yes, Mr. President, "our task is plain." It is to establish an invulâ€" nerable defense. In that task you have the cooperation of all. Indeed, Mr. President, our task has been plain for several years as to the "road we must take" but we haven‘t been following that road as we should have been. Bronko Nagurski, 240â€"pound king of all heavyweight wrestlers and greatest football fullback that ever Bronko Nagurski Is Featured in Main Event Next Friday lived is coming to Lake county a week from Friday night, June 7, to wrestle in the main event of the allâ€" star card of the 1940 summer seaâ€" son in Peg Berning‘s newly remodelâ€" ed Grayslake Openâ€"Air Arena, Nagurski‘s opponent will be Juan Humberto, 232â€"pound Mexican giant heavyweight champion, who has run up a remarkable record of wrestling performance in the few short months that he has been campaignâ€" ing in this country, Nagurski, of course, needs no inâ€" troduction to local sport fans for his fame on the gridiron both for his Alma Mater, the University of Minnesota, and for the Chicago Bears professional team will live on ag long as the sport exists. Sports writers acclaim his feats on the mat as well as on the football field as nothing short of amazing. "Nagurski is the only man ever to lead his own interference in a football game . . allâ€"time Allâ€"Amerâ€" ican fullback." That‘s what the famed Grantland Rice declared when he named the Bronk to his allâ€"American team. According to Burris Jenkins, Jr., of the New York Journal American, a hip inâ€" jury in 1934 slowed Nagurski down to a point where three tacklers could sometimes stop him. Now he‘s all right. But not only is this primative symphony of bone and sinew the mightiest mammal of the wrestling mat, he really can wrestle as well. In more than 500 matches since turning pro back in 1933, Nagurski has suffered only five losses, and since has whipped three of the five who beat him. In Humberto, he is expected to have some real competition, for the Mexicano is noted for his nasty disâ€" position and his lightening speed in the ring. Humberto scored a senâ€" sational four minute win in his only previous Lake county appearance on a benefit card in Libertyville three weeks ago.
