Called back to his world war job as supreme dictator of Ills Majesty's nary on the day Britain dclared war on Germany, the 5 i ear-old politician has become a national hero.

For the immediate future. Gen eral George C. Marshall, chief of staff, already has recommended expansion of the regular army by 15.000 men. One well-informed source in congress said that, n n 1 1 1 last night, the war department had been working on estimates for a S210.000.0Oa deficiency appropri ation. Including 145.000,000 for 20 additional four-motored bombers. "As a result of th invasion of Belgium and Holland." this source said, "the ante may be raised as high as $100,000,000." Meanwhile, Chairman Vinson (D. Ga.) went ahead with plans for the shipbuilding and aircraft program. He said the siie of the additional appropriation to be sought for that service at this ses sion would depend largely upon the findings of that committee. Vinson added, however. It would be substantially larger than the S4S.000.000 originally esti mated by the navy as necessary to expand existing shipyard fa cilities and provide the initial funds for starting work on the projected 11 per cent expansion of the fleet. to the cry of dictators that social Justice can be attained only by surrender of personal liberty. j The PopnLar I Radio ' j s PogTmaa -IN KOKMA- i .

Foreign Minister Joachim Von Rikbentrop. the former champagne salesman lauded by nails as "the new Bis marck," soothingly Insisted to foreign correspondents that Ger many merely bad gotten the Jump on the allies and stolen something they had planned. Hia story was similar to the reasons given for the Germaa In vasion of Denmark and Norway 31 days ago. But the move into the low coun tries was no pushover parade. The German command claimed its men in gray Lad taken bridges over Belgium's Important Albert canal, had seized the strategic cit ies of Maastricht and Malmedy, and were penetrating throughout both Belgium and Holland. The assaulted lowlands dis agreed. Calling the Invasion worse than that which shocked the world in 1914, Belgium contended the Ger mans had been stopped Just in side the borders, despite aerial bombing of airports and other strategic centers of Brussels, Ant werp and other cities. King Leopold took personal command of hla army of 600.000, which downed at least eight tier man planes during The green-clad men of Holland, fighting an Invader of their home land for the first time in 14 5 years, declared they had shot down at least 70 German planes, destroyed four German troop trains, and were giving the mech anised and winged attackers, a spectacular taste of their own medicine in gory battles in the center of the great seaport of Rot terdam.

The American republics must ponder tho problem deeply, Mr. Roose velt added, and "act with unanim ity and singleness of purpose." He spoke, before- the eighth American scientific congress. His audience was composed of scien tists from all sections of tho hemisphere. The address followed an anxious day of reading dis patches telling of the nazl Inva sion of Holland and Belgium, and conferring with his advisors on how best to shield America from the impact of the broadening war in Europe-. . . j At a press conference during the historic day, he applauded a proclamation in which Queen Wil aelmlna of the Netherlands sum mpned her soldiers to fight the Invasion and voiced a "flaming protest against this unexampled violation of g-ooth faith." la delivering the speech J Mr. Roosevelt made two possibly sig nificant changes In his prepared text. He had written "we (must admit" that modern conquerors seek to rule the entire world and he changed the phrase to "we know down In our hearts. I The second came after he had naked whether the American pol icy of "peaceful construction' could go on If a different princi ple of life prevailed everywhere else. To that he added an emphat ic "no, I think not." The chief executive was in tensely serious as he delivered his address and so was his au dience. The famous Roosevelt smile was not present. Applause was scarce, for most of the statements in the address told of gloomy developments and forebodings, not the type of assertion which audiences applaud. He told the scientists: "What has come about has been caused solely by those who would Use, and are using your in ventions of peace in a wholly dif ferent cause those who seek to dominate hundreds of millions of people in vast continental areas those who, if successful In that aim will, we must now admit, en large their wild dream to encom pass every human being and ev ery mile of the earth's surface." And of the distance which lies between America and the battle field of Europe, he asserted:.
