Newspaper Page TextPage Two. THE REGISTER-GUARD. EUGENE. OREGON Draft Stretch Debate Begins WASHINGTON, July 30 Senator Thomas (D-Utah), open' big debate on legislation to re tain citizen soldiers in uniform beyond the present limit of one year, told the aenate today that the whole theory of American democracies was being challenged by "the greatest the most suc cessful army the world has ever known." As crowded galleries listened, the Utah senator urged speedy approval of a measure which would authorize the president to extend the service tenure of se lectees, national guardsmen and reserves, as well as enlisted men in the regular army. A short while before senate de bate began, the house military committee approved, 15 to 7, a similar bill. The only difference in the two measures is that the house committee reworded the provision to retain guardsmen and provided that individual guards men or guard units released from service could be called back to duty again. In the senate, Thomas solemn ly said that "this very day or to morrow an incident may occur that will change the aspects and feelings of those responsible for our government." ; British Warn Japs; Tokyo Press Hits II. S. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) the Russo-German conflict was already "bringing serious effects to Japan.'.' 1 "Japan Determined".' Konoye declared that ' Japan needed "swift, determined execu tion of her national policies" and that the government was "deter mined to proceed on an historic renovation in policies from an en tirely new standpoint" .Perhaps significantly, he added that it would be difficult to pre dict where the flames of the Eur opean conflict might spread and that the government was "doing everything within its power to mobilize all resources and man power for any eventuality." As he spoke, Japanese troops moved' steady into southern Indo Chlna bases, within striking dis tance of Singapore, the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines, Business Bit In the economic damp-down, business by British and American companies in Japan and through out Japanese-occupied northern China, except in the Peiping and Tientsin foreign quarters, was virtually at a standstill. Japanese sentries patrolled American oil properties taken un der protective custody, reports to Shanghai said. In Washington the treasury de partment disclosed the seizure of IS Japanese fishing boats in Ha waiian waters by customs agents between Feb. 28 and March 3. Although the vessels were seized on charges of false registry, sev eral officials at Washington charg ed they had been engaged in es pionage and that although no sus picious equipment was found aboard the ships when they were seized they were reported to have carried radio and photographic equipment during the period they were under observation. President Asks For Price Control (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Russian Hold On Leningrad Slipping (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) else through license or regulations i under expeditious and workable administrative procedures." "Like other defense legislation," he added, "it should expire with the passing of the need, within a limited time after the end of the emergency." upper Limit Set The concept of a price celling, the president said, is "already fa miliar to use as a result of our own World war experience. Prices are not fixed or frozen; an upper limit alone is set. Prices may fluctuate below this limit, but they cannot go above it." He added: To make celling prices effec tive it will often be necessary, among other things, for the gov ernment to increase the available supply of a commodity by pur chases in this country or abroad. In other cases it will be essential to stabilize the market by buying ana selling as the exigencies of price may require." Regarding rent control, the chief executive said despite steps taken to assure adequate housing for de fense the nation was already con fronted with rent increases remin iscent of those prevailing In World war days. This is a development that must be arrested," he said, "before rert profiteering can develop to in crease the cost of living and to damage the civilian morale." r tow 1940 pmcESYSyp ON NEW 1941 MODELS Initall new pay ntrhlns Mil Ottobar 0t the ntellnal "AmuiH-Com" Oll-O-Metll H'l "Huihtd Mow a Whlip.r."...

A war bulletin from "the fueh rer's headquarters" conceded that Soviet trbops were pressing "relief attacks" to rescue trapped forces east of Smolensk, but it asserted that the Red counter-offensive was being crushed with severe losses. Elsewhere on the bloody 2000 mile battlefront, the German communique said, "operations con tinued according to plan." Other narl reports said that on the north front, on the route to Leningrad, two Russian divisions (about 30,000 troops) had been wiped out west of Lake Feipus, in Estonia. Hand to Band These reports, describing the Russians as having been cut off from retreat by a nazi thrust acress Estonia, said fierce, close quarter fighting with grenades and automatic pistols was raging. Russian dispatches reported "particularly heavy lighting" and heavy German losses in the Smolensk salient, where Red troops were declared to have blasted German infantry from their trenches in a series of counter-attacks, i Soviet officials said the big German drives toward Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev were stalled, with Soviet armies swinging more and more strongly to the offen sive. DNB, the official German news agency, apparently describing the same Moscow-bound thrust as Hit ler's newspaper, said advance German tank units east of Smol ensk had cleared the surrounding countryside of Russian soldiers last night. The tank sweep was made pos sible, DNB said, byt the arrival of a nazi supply column, which beat off violent assaults by Sov iet infantry and tanks to reach its goal. ' Reports Conflict Previous Russian dispatches had pictured German tanks which lunged beyond Smolensk, on the Minsk-to-Moscow highway, as having been cut off. The Berlin Voelkischer Beobach ter, owned by Hitler, said a mighty battle was raging on a 190-mile front pivoting on Smol ensk, extending from Mogilev, southwest of Smolensk, to Vyaz ma, 100 miles east of Smolensk and only 130 miles from Moscow. Russia's high command again reported "stubborn" all-night fighting in the familiar sectors of Nevel-Smolensk, on the central front, and Zhitomir, on the Uk raine front in the south. The Red army was pictured by Russians generally however, as swinging steadily more strongly to the offensive. A Moscow com munique reported the Germans pushed back 10 miles in the Uk raine, and a town identified only as "N" was said to have been recaptured in ' a tierce, two-day battle. Rail-Union Dispute Reaches Deadlock CHICAGO, July SO U.R Rail road and union negotiators today reached a deadlock on the carriers' proposals for changes in employe work rules when the "big five" operating brotherhoods rejected the suggestions and asked that they be withdrawn. The rejection of the proposals covering what the railroads term "featherbed rules" by the operat ing brotherhoods with 350,000 members, and by the non-operating brotherhoods with 800,000 members yesterday left manage ment representatives the alterna tive of carrying the matter to the national railway mediation board. A management spokesman said the carriers intended to invoke the services of the mediation board 'in the near future."
