Outlining a 42-point program to the General Assembly id a 53-minute address, Gov. Will presented a plan for Stimulating industrial development for the general benefit, of Vermont and disposed of the controversial question of local power plants by recommending an enabling act on a state-wide basis.

Chiairman Vinson, democrat, Georgia, was outspoken in his criticism and expressed belief President Roosevelt recent declaration that the sovereignty of government would be used to save government if other methods failed was applicable to such situations. (The strike had been scheduled to start at 7:45 p. m. tonight, but about that time the company announced that pending further negotiations the employes would remain 1 at At a press 1 conference, meantime, CIO President Piylip Murray declared that any legislators seeking to restrict or restrain labor's freedom of strike action would be making a very great mistake. Asked how the CIO regarded proposals for a 30-day waiting period before a strike became effective, he replied: There isn't anything good in quack medicine.

Towers, chief of naval aviation, testified that the Ranger engineering division of the! Fairchild Engine and Airplane corporation at Farmingdale was about 2000 engines for the Army and Navy and that a Navy contract for some 600 additional was pending. He previously had said that a shortage of aircraft engines appeared likely to continue for another 18 months, at leas so far as spare engines were concerned. In response td questions, Ije Warned the conimitteC that large expenditures for fuilther plant expansion probably would not help) the immediate situation because we are facing the risk right now of running head-on into the law of diminishing returns.

as Momentous as Any That the Monarchy Has Entrusted to an Englishman. BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. LONDON. Jan. 9.

Winston Churchill, declaring that a final victory over totalitarian intolerance depended upon the United States, symbolically dispatched Ambassador Lord Halifax to Washington today for a mission, as momentous as any that the mon-jarchy has entrusted to ah jEnglish-man in a lijfeltime. Speaking at a luncheon of the Pilgrims, an Aniglo-American organization, the prime minister bajde godspeed to the viscount and, at the, pame time, delivered an extraordinary eulogy of President Roosevlelt as a famous statesman a preeminent figure. called for the third time to lead the American demoeraces. All this preceded by a felw hours the arrival jn London of Harry Hopkins, President Roosevelts, special representative. Hopkins flew from Lisbon to an English airport and a special train brought him intj the city just after the air raid siifens had screamed the nights alarm, Hopkins, wlho left the railway station with Brendan Bracke.

Prime Minister Churchill's red-hiairjed secretary, said only that he had! a good trip and I'm feeling fine. At the lunclheon, Churchill spoke of Lord Halifax as an envoy who comes from the very center of our counsels and knows all our secrets: As one who had vowed himself to prosecute this war against Nazi tyranny ai whatever ebst until its last) vestigei are destroyed. It is no exaggeration to sa that the future of the whole World and the hopes of a broadening cijvilizatioij founded upon Christian ethics depend upon the relations between the British Empire or commonwealth of naf lions and the United States of America, Churchill said. The identity of purpose and peri sistenee of resolve prevailing through. out the English-speaking world will, more than any other single) fact, def-terrhine the way of life will be open to generations, and pierhaps to centuries, which follow our, own.

Senator Barkley of Kentucky and Representative McCofmack of Massachusetts, democratic leaders of the two houses, who were among the presidents conferees announced they would introduce the! bill promptly at noon tomorrow, issue a statement explaining its contents. However, in advance of its form 1 publication, several reliable sources said the measure took the follow mg form: If enacted, it wii 1, in effect, make the presidents recrfiit statement about converting America into a "great arsenal" for nations now at war with the Axis powers the official and cort-gressidnally declare, policy of the United States.

But- the RAF Was the first to break the lull with a seven-hour raid Wednesday night and early today on the naval dockyards of Wilhelmshaven These thrusts had been supported by one of the most general aerial offensives yet loosed in Africa. British bombs were declared to haye fallen on Italian positions along the Libyan coast expending to the port of Bengasi, 300 miles from the Egyptian frontier. Gazala. itself was heavily attacked, and at Benina a British communique reported that a hundred Italian war planes were bofnbed on the ground, several of them having been smashed and others badly damaged.

At Bengasi, four or five ships were hit squarely, it was said, and the port's warehouses were set aflame, and near the oasis of Gjarabub, far to the south of Tobruk, Italian motorized caravans were attacked. Seven Italian planes at Tmimi were seen to have burned out, the RAF said. All this, taken in conjunction with the previously announced British seizure of 40 Italian planes at the Tobruk air bpse of Adem, added up to an nn i heed Fascist plane losses nearing 100 within two days.
