He added that It would he a
5raglc error" to eliminate about
two-thirds of1 the trained sol
(Jiers and three-fourths of offic
er personnel.
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.

continued service, the president
said he thought congress also
should remove restrictions on
the number of selectees Inducted
each year. 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 '

In the southern theater, the

five tanks, four armored cars,
two planes and quantities of

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.
Burning Sheds, Grass
Draw Out Fire Dept.
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.
