AID FOR REFUGEES 1ST BE HURRIED SAYS R00SEVELT Problem Caused by Europe's Political Action May Be Ex panded by War's Advent Washington, Oct. 18. (AP) President Roosevelt urged offi cers of the inter-governmental committee on political refugees today to speed the task of help ing 300,000 made homeless bo fore European war began, in or der to be prepared to cope with new problems when the current conflict ends. He called for "redoubled vig or" because of the possibility of a refugee problem of "infinitely greater magnitude." Millions Threatened. Speaking at a luncheon for the officers, representing six countries. Mr. Roosevelt asserted "when this ghastly war ends there may not be one million but ten millions or twenty mil lions" persons who will enter Into the problem of the human refugee. The first task of the inter governmental committee, the President asserted, is to take care of refugees who must find new homes In other countries as a result of dislocations be fore the current war began. The President requested that, as the second great task before the committee, "it start at this time a serious and probably a fairly expansive effort to sur vey and study definitely and scientifically this geographical and economic problem of re settling several million people in new areas of the earth's sur face." There are many vacant spaces where European settlers could live permanently, the President asserted. Suoh areas, he said, cover many portions of the Af rican, American and Australa sian portions of the globe, mil lions of square miles located in relatively young republics and in colonial possessions or dominions of older nations. Quick Peaca Hoped. "We hope and trust," the chief executive declared, "that exist ing wars will terminate quickly, and if that is our hope, there is all the more reason for all of us to make ready, beginning to day, for the solution of the problem of the refugee." The executive committee of the Inter governmental commit tee on political refugees came here at the invitation of Presi dent Roosevelt, who was chosen to preside at the meeting. The problem, the chief execu tive added, Is not that of any one race group or religious faith and it must be faced actively If the democratic principle based on respect and human dignity Is to survive and world order, resting on Individual security, to be restored.

(API Delay In organizing fire-fighting forces permitted a blaze to spread rapidly and caused an estimated $30,000 loss at the Bittncr Log & Lumber company Tuesday.

The Toledo fire department discovered the mill's hydrants did not fit standard hose equip ment. A hydrant had to be in stalled before water could be played on the fire.

(AP) Britain has "made a good begin ning" in the war against Ger many, Prime Minister Chamber lain declared, in the house of commons today in a speech min imizing British losses and saying Germany had lost more than a fourth of the planes which have raided the British isles. He paid tribute In his brief weekly war report to the work of defense forces in fighting off the first German air attacks on the country. Enemy Loss Listed. In the first air battles "fought over our own coasts, we have destroyed eight enemy aircraft without losing a single machine of our own," Chamberlain said. He added several more Ger man bombers might have failed to reach home and said the casu alties "thus certainly exceeded 25 per cent of the attacking force, and may have been higher." The British navy "lias sus tained severe losses, both in of ficers and men," Chamberlain said, referring to the sinking of the battleship Royal Oak Sat urday and casualties inflicted by German air raiders on the Firtli of Fourth Monday. Sixteen men wore killed in the Monday raid and 810 went down with the Royal Oak when a submarine torpedoed her in Scapa Flow. British naval base in the Orkney islands off the north Scottish coast. Attacks No Surprise. Attacks on British fleet bases were "fully expected," the prime minister said. "The extent of the enemy's disappointment at the failure of these attacks to inflict serious injury on our ships may be measured by the fantastic nature of the claims which they have felt obliged to invent." The prime minister said that since his last rejection of Ger man peace proposals as too vague, "there has been no in dication from Berlin of the views of the German govern ment upon the issues."

Such a scratch conceivably might start a fracture. So we shot-blast our springs to heal such tiny scratches, "peening" the surface in miniature like hammered silver. Aii through this massive, power ful, beautiful car you'll find special precaution like that. For example, we used to balance by weight all sets of parts in our tornadic Dynaflash straight-eight engine, to cancel out even a hint of "rough." We do that still, but now we do more. On special machines we elec trically balance this great engine to niicropoised perfection after as sembly, paring metal if need be to smooth its velocity to velvet.
