Washington, D. C, June 6.
The stone that was rejected by
the builder has become the key
stone to the arch. To industry
and the economic royalists Pres
ident Roosevelt is now turning
to effectuate his national de
fense program rather than to
the group of young advisors who
have done so much toward mak-
ing life a burden to business
men in the past seven years.
Mr. Roosevelt, himself. Is lead
ing the country back to that pre
1929 era when industry sup
plied the payrolls of the nation
instead of the federal treasury
dishing out relief.
Every encouragement will be
given to industry to "do its
stuff". When he was assistant
secretary of the navy under
President Wilson in war days,
Mr. Roosevelt learned the trick
of cutting red tape and he will
apply his knowledge whei.cvcr
necessary to speed up produc
tion of defense material. For the
time being there will be no
further experiments of a social
character and the administra
tion will concern Itself princi
pally in assisting instead of
hampering the pay-roll makers.
The new deal, as such, is
headed back to the days of Her
bert Hoover and Calvin Cool
idge and active smokestacks and
employment.
WHILE there are skirmishes
. " . behind the scenes among
new dealers for control (there
are bitter animosities in ranks
of the 100 percent new dealers)
the president in these days is
consulting with big shots of
steel, motors, transportation and
not with members of the inner
circle who had his ear when
new deal legislation was in the
making: Some of these inner
circle advisors are altogether
onnosed to having the president
nlace such responsibility with
the industrialists, but this op-

MANY TANKS BY
IE
Six Mechanized Divisions in
Abbeville Onslaught
Nazi Leaders Boastful
By the Aisociattd Press
The Nail offensive on the
Somme front, aided by at least
2,000 tanks, accomplished a
"slight advance" In the second
day of furious fighting, a spokes
man of the French war ministry
said tonight.
German tanks, driving in
blasting groups of 200 and 300
were said to have penetrated as
much as seven and a half miles
into the Weygand line, with
French forces drawing back on
both the east and west flanks
of the front.
German gains were made at
a huge cost, the spokesman said.
Many tanks were destroyed in
the French "quicksand" defense
system designed to stop them.
Nun Claim Cains
The German high command
Insisted its drive was gaining
ground "everywhere" along the
front.
In London, Alfred Duff Coop-
er, British minister of inlorma-
tion, declared it would not be
too late if America came to the
aid of the Allies a year from
now.
He predicted any German as-
saults on Britain would fail and
declared at the moment the
Allies need anti-tank guns, sub-
machine guns and "planes and
more planes.
The heaviest German attacks
were reported striking out in
the Abbeville region presum-
ably aimed at the capture of Le
Harve, vital channel port linking
France with England, in a wide
sweeping drive on Paris.
25 Lost In Group
Paris reported 23 Nazi tanks
were destroyed in one spot, at
Chaulnes, nine miles southwest
of Peronne.
The Germans were hurling six
mechanized divisions (normally
500 tanks in each division) into
the onslaught at Abbeville.
The German high command s
official communique, hours late
today and flavored with gener
alities instead of the usual chron
icle of specific successes, said of
the great battle merely:
Our troops have won ground
everywhere toward the south
west."
It said that 143 enemy planes
had been destroyed 19 by- ma
chinegun fire and others on the
ground and that the Nazi air
force had bombed Cherbourg,
port of call for trans-Atlantic
liners in peace time.
Airdromes in central France
and in England were also bomb
ed, the communique asserted.

Lieut. H. Hewitt, army re
