First Real Debate
Occurs Over Bill
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-()-In a
tumult of snapping tempers, the Sen-
ate today heard Senator Chandler
(Dem-Ky) accuse opponents of the
lease-lend bill of endeavoring to un-
dermine public confidence in Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
In turn, Senator Wheeler (Dem-
Mont)tangrily replied that Mr. Roos-
evelt was trying to "flim-flam" the
public. He repeatedly described as
"shocking" the President's statement
of yesterday that the task of win-
ning the war must 'take precedence
over any talk of peace aims.
He called it indicative of an atti-
tude that the United States was al-
ready in the war.
It was the first real debate, and
the'first sign of ebbing patience, of
the nine days the Senate has devoted
to the bill. A session which began in
quiet fashion with Senator Nye (Rep-
ND) continuing a speech begun last
week, was suddenly transformed into
a scene of excitemeht.
First of all, Wheeler interrupted
Nye to say that Mr. Roosevelt's words.
indicatd a position which this coun-
try should not take unless it is ready
to enter the war.
"I submit we are not in the war
unless the President of the United
States has already committed us to
war," he shouted. "If we are in the
war, I repeat that we are in viola-
tion of the Constitution of the United
States."
"How can Britain win, unless we
come into the war?" Nye asked, and
to this, Senator Clark (Dem-Mo)
added the observation that the Presi-
dent had "practically said, 'Yes we
are in the war.' "
Thoroughly aroused, Chandler
plunged into the discussion.
House Debates
Appropriation Bill
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-()-The
House took up a $1,533,439,702 emer-
gency appropriation bill for the army
and navy today ad almost immed-
iately heard a. Republican charge that
"unreasonable delays" had taken
place in the defense program.
Soon after the bill reached the
House floor, Rep. Taber (Rep-NY)
said:
"'-1hcre have been all sorts of
things that resulted in unreasonable
delays in the defense program that
could have been avoided if they had
been thought out before hand. Per-
haps it was too much to expect."
He declared defense workers had
been "dominated" by labor unions
and added that if this continued it]
would bring socialism and dictator-
ship. Secretary Perkins, he said, had
been instrumental in raising the cost
of Camp Edwards, Mass., from $7,-
000,000 to $29,000,000 by ordering
payment of a "prevailing" wage rate
which he said represented a gross.
increase of 71 percent"above pre-,
vailing union wages in the territory."
Duringsecret hearings on the bi
made public today, Gen. George C.
Marshall, Chief of Staff, and other
high-ranking officers conceded mis-
takes had been made in the army
expansion.
New Strike Board
Is'Taking Shape'
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-(U)-A
plan for a new labor board to serve
as a "supreme court" for strikes and
disputes in defense industries which
cannot be settled by the established
machinery of federal mediation, was
reported taking shape today in the
hands of high officials.
One well-informed official who de-
clined 'to be quoted by name said
an executive order for the creation
of such a board was in the final stage
of drafting, and might be hastened

In the first international debate
of the year the University's two-man

of McMaster University of Hamilton,
Ontario, at 4 p.m. today in Room
1025 Angell Hall.
The Canadians will uphold the

Because of the interest in Pan-

the debate should present vital issues

Paced by one of the greatest for-

lefeated outfit.
The Gophers will be heavy favor-
tes to emerge the victors in both to-
ight's contest and the final game
>f the series to be played on the same
ce Saturday night. Minnesota has
lready racked up two victories over
he Wolverines, in games played at
vinneapolis earlier in the season, by
cores of 4-0 and 7-2. The Twin
ities crew has a season record of
line victories, three defeats and two
ies as compared with two copped,

Leading the visitors' attack will be

Michigan Natators
Win Six AAU Titles
After the last splash had settled
n the Sports building pool last night
t was found, to the amazement of
none, that Matt Mann's miraculous
Michigan mermen had paddled their
way to six state AAU titles and two
records in another dazzling display
f Wolverine swimming supremacy.
Before a cozy gathering of aquatic
fans, the Maize and Blue team had
virtually a private workout, for they
were racing against themselves most
of the evening with the rest of the
state's swimming talent evidently
scared out of competing against the
Big Ten and National champions.
Though there was an evident lack
of out-state competition, the natators
put on a well received show with a
little Rockford, Ill., demon by the
name of Jim Welsh taking the lead-
ing role. Matt's tireless workhorse
streaked toa double victory, winning
the 100 yard free style in 1541 and
corning back to cop the long quarter-
mile grind. Charley Barker and Gus
Sharemet were behind Welsh in the
century.
Ine addition to those preliminary'
chores, Jim took the anchor leg on
the record-breaking 400-yard free
style relay, putting his all-senior
team homemin'front in a great duel
against Tommy Williams. The win-
ning time of 3:39.5 was almost 11
