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."

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.

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."

heads had been driven back 100
miles from their deepest penetra
tions presumably on the central
front guarding Moscow.
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."
