America will spend about extra for national defense in 1941, latest government reports show. It is calculated that about half this amount will represent added purchasing power, and the U.

WILLIAM SAROYAN, 32, is the only playwright to win the Pulitzer prize and the award of the Drama Critics Circle both in the same year and to win the Circle award unanimously. He was given this recognition for his play, "The Time of Your Life. In addition to winning both these coveted awards, last year he had three plays running on Broadway at the same time an outstanding distinction for any playwright. Although only 32 years of age, he has a phenomenal ability to excel simultaneously as both a playwright and an author. He has had 24 books published during the past nine years.

BRITAIN W ANTED l S. TO GET EIRE TO GIVE UP BASES Confidential conversations have been taking place between the British and the state department for some time aimed at getting Irish naval bases for the British. In these conversations the British have wanted to place the United States in the unique role of either persuading or bulldozing Eire into handing over the bases. Just how the United States handled it, the British didnt much care. But in talking to the state department, the British pointed out that if they took Irish bases by force, there feelwould be a burst of all Irish over from the United ing States, particularly New England. This, the British felt, would be extremely bad just at a time when Britain particularly needs American support. The British also pointed out to the state department that they were placed in the unfortunate position of having to bring food to Ireland at the risk of having the ships sunk, and with no protective from the Irish whatsoever. Therefore, the British foreign office urged the state department to use its immediate and vigorous good offices with the Irish government. The state department, however, has been eying the situation with no great enthusiasm. Informal soundings revealed that the Irish minister in Washington, Robert Brennan, is vigorously opposed to British naval bases, and so is the Irish government at least until the recent bombing of Eire by German planes. This has changed Irish public opinion considerably, and it is now possible that U. S. persuasion might get somewhere. anti-Britis- automobile in formation concerning the federal facturers. government's new laws and regulaMARK MATTHEWS, 34, president tory commissions so that business men will know how their operations of the United States Junior Chamare affected. ber of Commerce, is the chosen leadIIEV It A' T.
