circumstances of Harry H.

because he cooperated with the
chief of staff and our army off!

retary Morgenthau (secretary ' of
the treasury)."

Woodring was "removed because he
opposed the sale and transfer of
military supplies that we need our
selves?"
Opposed Intervention
"Was he removed because he fa
vored a program of national de
fense for our nation instead of in
tervention In Europe?" he contln
ued.
"Was he removed In the Interest
of the third term movement, or was
it because the International bank
ers could not control him?
"This is not time to deceive the
people. They are entitled to the
truth."
Under Carlson's resolution, the
Joint congressional committee would
be directed to:
"1. Make a full and complete
investigation of all the clrcum
stances surrounding Mr. Wood-
ring's dismissal."

Stimson appointment and that of
Col. Frank Knox to be secretary of
the navy, It appeared there would
be no action on confirmation for
more than a week.
Chairman Rheppard (D., Tex.)
said that Stimson would be called for
testimony "in a week or so" and it
was expected to be at least that
long until the naval committee acts
on the Knox nomination. The na
val group will hold its first meeting
on the subject tomorrow.
No Opposition
Members of the military commit
tee said that demands for hearings
on Stimson came chiefly from re
publicans but that once such a pro
cedure was decided upon there was
no opposition to calling the nomi
nee himself.
Both Stimson and Knox are in
frank agreement with President
Roosevelt's program of material aid
to the allies.
To critics who charged that he
was setting up a "war cabinet," the
chief executive replied in a state
ment last night:
"The appointments to the cabinet
are in line with the overwhelming
sentiment of the nation for na
tional solidarity In time of world
crisis and In behalf of national de
fense and nothing else."
Knox's Reasons
Chicago, June 21 (P) Colonel
Prank Knox, whose acceptance of
the navy secretaryship in the
Roosevelt cabinet prompted his ex
pulsion from the republican party,
said today the president had asked
him to manage the navy on a non
political basis "and on that basis I
have accepted."
I firmly believe that In a time
of danger to our country each of
us must do whatever we can to meet
that danger. As good citizens we
must serve in whatever capacity we
are asked to serve."

thoritative reports persisted in re
publican circles today that Presi
dent Roosevelt had assured Colonel
Prank Knox that he would not run
for a third term at the time he first
offered Knox the navy secretary-
ship.
The reports were that Knox had

four Included Alf M. Landon, the
1036 republican presidential nom
inee on a ticket with Knox, and R.
B. Creager, Texas national com

The "no third term" assurances
were reported to have been given
by the president in May when
Colonel Knox was believed to have
been offered the navy portfolio a
second time after he had once de
clined It.
The third term reports were
hinted at in Landon 's statement
yesterday in which he spoke highly
of the ability and patriotism of
Knox and Henry L, Stimson but
added that he hoped they had not
been misled by such third term as
surances as might have been given
them.
Knox, in announcing acceptance
of the appointment, said Mr
Roosevelt had asked him to serve
on a non-political basis "and on that
basis I have accepted."
Both Knox and Stimson were
read out of the party by the repub

accepting the posts of navy and war

By Louis P. Lochner
Compiegne Forest, France,
June 21 (TP) Adolf Hitler
reached the highest point of
his meteoric career today in
historic Compiegne forest
when he personally received
the French envoys and hand
ed them armistice terms
which proclaimed the defeat
of France.
The fuehrer chose for the
meeting the railway car in
which Marshal Foch handed
the Germans the 1918 armistice
terms.
There at 3:32 p. m. (4:32 a. m.,
PST) Hitler, flanked by his highest!
military chieftains and civil offi
cials, faced the four-man French;
delegation.
The ceremony of presenting the)
terms lasted only 10 minutes.
Preamble Read
Colonel General Wilhelm Keitel,
chief of the German high command,
read the preamble outlining in
broad strokes the purposes of tho
peace Hitler and his axis partner,
Premier Mussolini, propose to im
pose. These envisaged:
1 Cessation of the war in Prance.
2 Guarantees by Prance to Ger
many "necessary for continuation
of the war against Great Briton."
3 A new European peace tc Sul
low in which "wrong" doing to Ger
many by "force" would be righted.
The peace terms, Hitler said
through Keitel, were not humiliat
ing for Prance.
Wrongs Righted
When the preamble had been read
Hitler stepped down from tho car,
saluting stiffly.
The fuehrer's historic visit to
Compiegne was conducted with mil

workers needed in industries
of 2,000,000 young men and women
annually.
Cox' opinion was seconded by
Rep. Woodrum (D., Va.). a ranking
member of the appropriations com
mittee. He predicted that any
youth training program would have
difficulty getting through congress
because of the fact "that Mr. Hill
man has been selected to head it
up."
Hillman. meanwhile, announced
that he expected to have ready in
a few days a "complete and full
program" for the Instruction of
skilled workers. He said vocational
schools, the national youth admin
istration, the CCC and private in
dustry figured in the plpns, and In
timated that some training of A
military character might be involved.
