J The steps which the chief exe cutive took to underscore the ad ministration's desire for extend ed service during a period of world crisis was considered to some extent an acknowledgement of a strong opposition existent ip congress. Compromises have been advanced. ; But Mr. Roosevelt said he was not asking congress for specific language In a specific bill. He gjiid that he hoped the legislators 'will acknowledge this national Emergency cither for a specific period or until revocation by t)ie congress or the president." .The chief executive said he was confident men In the ranks realized better than the public the "disastrous effect" which would result from permitting the present army to melt away and set back the training and expansion program at least six months.

The limit now Is 900, 000. He also urged congress pro vide that employers be asked to continue keeping open Jobs for men who have been held in the army. He promised to direct the re turn to civil life of those whose retention on active duty would "Impose undue hardship" and that guardsmen and selectees who had become 28 would be transferred from active service to a reserve component of the army as rapidly as possible. In his message, the president emphasized that the national in terest of the United States and the other American republics was "definitely Imperiled" by the war sweeping through Europe. But occasionally Individuals, he said, basing their opinions on unsupported evidence or no evi dence at all, may with "honest intent" assert that this country need fear no attack on its own territory or on other western hemisphere nations. Nazi Duplicity Cited ' Mr. Roosevelt called attention, then, to the sequence of Ger man conquest or moves from Austria to the Russian cam paign. ... "Every move up and down and across and Into Asia, and Into Africa,'1, he declared, "has been conducted according to a time schedule utilizing In ever case an overwhelming superiority not only In material but in trained men as well. "Each campaign has been bas ed on a preliminary assurance of safety or non-aggression to the Intended victim. Each campaign has been based on disarming fear and gaining time until the Ger man government was fully ready to throw treaties anil pacts to the winds and simultaneously to launch an attack In over whelm ing force. "Each elimination of a victim has brought the Issue of nazi domination closed to this hemis phere, while month by month their Intrigues or propaganda and conspiracy have sought to weaken every link in the com munity of Interest that should bind the Americas into a great western family." Declaring ho thought no branch of the government was willing to let America risk the fate which has destroyed Inde pendence of other nations, the chief executive said that "we Americans can not afford to spe culate wltn the security of America." Ho cited also "a definite re sponsibility" for the United States to aid every other west ern hemisphere democracy against attack from without and asserted that In his judgment It would be an act of "bad faith" toward our neighbors to weaken the army at this particular time. i ' Indecisive Blows Mark Russian-Nazi Combat .

In the southern theater, the nazi high command said "Ger man, Rumanian and Hungarian troops are pursuing the defeated enemy" In a drive into the soviet Ukraine. . Reds Deal Hard Blows The Russians declared offi cially that a soviet infantry di vision surrounded and wiped out a "large enemy motorized forma tion," destroyed 100 German trucks, and captured 189 others, five tanks, four armored cars, two planes and quantities of guns. In another action, the Kusslans were reported to have wrecked 300 trucks, slaughtered two bat tallans of nazl infantry, and tak en prisoners and .booty.

WASHINGTON, July 21. (AP) Headquarters of the office for civilian defense, which open ed Its "tea kettles for airships" aluminum collection drive today, said early reports from volunteer canvassers indicated "better than hoped-for success" In the nation wide campaign. Some officials In Director F. H. La Guardia's office said they now believed the drive might return 30,000,000 or 40,000,000 pounds of salvage aluminum, Instead of the approximately 20,000,00 pounds earlier hoped for. Telegrams have been coming in from "cities all over the coun try," reporting enthusiastic re sponse, an OCD spokesman said. Typical of the early reaction, it was stated, was that in Frederick, Md., where a survey of the ex pected donations started today. A chicken-wire inclosure into which the metal Is to be dumped when actual collection starts Wednes day is already half full of worn out pots and pans, Washington officials were told. Million Volunteers On Job In urban center and cross roads village more than a million volunteer workers set out to get pots and pans and any other ar ticles, such as old automobile parts and fittlrigs, which may be smelted down and turned to de fense uses. Plans for prompt employment of all metal gathered were so far advanced, officials said, that in a few months the little stew kettle in which Mrs. Jones boiled i her husband's breakfast egg and the skillet in which Mrs. Smith fried her morning bacon would likely be part of an American made plane dropping British bombs over Germany or per haps part of a tank in this coun inei try s own mechanized torces.

The Roseburg fire department was called out at 12:30 a. m. to day, when a shed and chicken house at the end of the South Main street pavement burned and threatened residences in that area. The two burning sheds set fire to surrounding grass and caused a blaze which spread over considerable area before being brought under control. The fire department managed to halt the fire before any major damage resulted. Canby Youth Confesses Slaying Oregon Rancher THE DALLES, July 21.
