Ford to Comply
With NLRB Order
DETROIT, Feb. 21. — The Ford
Motor Company, a representative said,
has begun posting of notices in Its
various departments that it will com
ply In all respects with a National La-
bar Relations Board order and that it
will cease and daaist from diacoursg
Ing organising efforts of the United
Automobile WbrteevwCIO.
The prating of each notice* was one
«f the stipulations of an NLRB order
sustained last week by the United
Status Supreme Court.
This action, he declared, was an il-
lustration of “co-operation in the de-
fense program by rraixiiislble labor
leadership.” No legislation is needed
to handle such cases, he said, adding :
•‘1 couldn’t want the authority to
order around every labor organisation.
1 believe uuy legislative authority
you would vest lu me would be less
effective.” .
Mrs. Borah Donates
Site for Hospital
WA8HINTON, Feb. 21. — Thirteen
acres of land, acquired years ago by
the late Senator William E. Borah
for the home he never built, were of-
fered by his widow to the State of
Idaho as a site for a tuberculosis bos
pital At Boise.
“The only condition I attached to
thia gift was that the hospital, as con-
templated In State legislation, should
be named the William E. Borah Mem-
orial Hospital ', said Mrs. Borah, who
telephoned her offer to C. G Ander-
son. chain store executive at Boise,
after she had received inquires as to
whether the laud csuld he purchased.

Senate Opposition
Reynolds Says
Measure May Lead
Nation into War
WASHINGTON, Feb 21. ■ ’
leaue-leud bill encountered unexiwrtril
opposition in (he senate from sen.
Reynolds (D-N. C.) who asserted that
It might lead' to .war and, denounced It
as a bill "for the preservation of the
Brittah Empire, without any consider^
tlpn for the preservation! of the Unit-
ed k States,"
A little earlier, the senate military
committee.-to secret , si union, .heard
Gen George ('. Marshall, the army
chief of ,stuff, express hlx views on
the measure Ho wax reported to
have xalii (hat it Would expedite aa-
Slxtance to Great Britain and increase
. the Capacity of American industry to
produce war materials.
In addition, informed sources quot-
ed Marshall, ns saying that■ the aitua
tion in the Fat East wax "serious" and
' that the. Pacific‘fleet wbuld be rein-
forced immediately with an unspecified
. . number of up-to date fighting planes.
Committee members said he ulso as
hured them tJiiTc was po intention tv
“strip” America of defense materials
through the aid-to-Britain program,
Sen- N>e (R N. 1>.)..curried on bis
fight .against the leasp-lend measure
by telling reporters that if it is pass
, ; ed “the president will create iuci-
dents which will lead us ititp war with- ,
in 30 days after the. legislation is
signed.",
■ Senate ‘Surprised’
The announcement of Reynolds' po.-
Mition came as a surprise because a few
out of the foreign relations commit
tee. Moreover, his stand was directly
contrary, to that of his North Caro-
lina colleague. Sen. Bailey.
Delivering a lengthy address, Hey-
npld-s was the senate’s first ..apepker
of a day given over to opponents of
the bill.. Galleries were crowded, but
only a small number of senators was
present, and some of these were more
inclined to conversation among them-
selves than to listening.
The North Carolinian devoted the
early pages of bis prepared address to I
analysis of events, since the world war
and then asked that before, the sen-,
Ute “decides to give, otir defense a rti-
cigs, which we sb barfly, need here at
home, to Great Britain", is' consider
the situation here'

Turkish Press
Says Germans
Misread Pact
ISTANBUL, Turkey, Feb. 21. — The
Turkish pr«*s insisted that the Tur-
kish-Bulgarian non aggression agree-
ment in no way affected Turkey's re-
lations with Greet* and Britain and
that Bulgaria' would attempt to pre-
vent uny German march towards
Greece.
The official Turkish radio said that
the Axis, in reporting the pact “has
taken advantage of it for its own pur
poses.”
- Turkey's British ally, on the con-
trary, has not taken thia attitude,
but has said that she was fully in-
formed of the negotiations end in full
agreement with them," the radio com-
mentator added
British radio broadcasts as heard
in New York Wednesday night by CBS
followed a refrain somewhat similar
to that of the Turkish press. Insisting
tbst the Turkish Bulgarian pact was
sctually a diplomatic defeat for Ger
many.
