Washington, D. C, June 14.
Despite demands that congress
remain in session until the reg
ular session starts next Jan
uary, the legislative body will
adjourn sine die this month
on June 22, if the democratic
leaders have their way. Repub
licans, to a man, have agreed to
vote to remain but unless they
are reinforced by a score of
democrats they cannot continue
the session. Patriotism and pol
itics are mingled in this posi
tion of the republicans also in
the position, of the democratic
leaders, who are following the
suggestion of the president.
A great emergency may arise
in the next few months and re
publicans (also many democrats)
think congress should be in ses
sion, ready to push through any
legislation the president may
deem necessary. Aside from the
strictly administration demo
crats in congress, members do
not want to leave the president
alone running the ship of state;
they think many minds are bet
ter than one and they arc op
posed to the president exercis
ing too much power. On his side,
the president feels he is thor
oughly competent to meet any
emergency and wants the con
gressmen to go home.
THERE is a proposal to clothe
the president with blanket
Dowers and make the presence
of con er ess unnecessary be
tween adjournment and next
January. As drafted, the legis-
lation permits the president to
do anything, with two excep
tions; he cannot mobilize the
armed forces and he cannot is
sue a declaration of war. These
two saving clauses were writ
ten to allay the fears of those
citizens who imagine that, given
the opportunity, the president
would not stop at "steps short of
war".
Administration spokesmen say
keeping congress in session will
only provoke speeches which
will keep the public stirred up
in a constant state of alarm. And
there is something in that con-

Le Havre, Vital Port

By tha Associated Praaa
Hitler's armies swept on past fallen Paris late today, striking
30 miles south of the Marne to Romilly, on the far upper (eastern)
Seine, and stormed France's great Maginot line itself in a bold
frontal assault. .
While Nazi troops marched through the streets of Paris and
Frenchmen wept at the conquest of their beloved capital the
German high command announced also the capture of Le Havre,
vital French trans-Atlantic port on the English channel.
It was apparent tonight that the vast and supposedly 'impreg

Britain Opens Chast
The Nazis' tempestuous 9-day
conquest of the French capital
spurred Great Britain late today
to unleash all the vast wealth
of her war chest for the pur
chase of American supplies.
Britain will now go "all out ,
it was said, shifting her strategy
frcm a long war based on
hopes of ultimate victory thru

enemy to meet the fury of the
German blitzkrieg.

SET-UP OF
DRAFT MACHINERY
WANTED BY SOME

A oroDosal that congress set
up machinery immediately for
drafting manpower in nation
al emergency, but that It retain
the right to say when this ma
chinery should be placed In op
eration. Is being advanced in
various military, and congres
sional circles.
Advocates said that the plan
would cut a -month from the
time required to mobilize large
numbers of men In any situa
tion which congress deemed to
warrant such action.
If a - selective service law
were enacted now, the propon
ents contended, approximately
6,500 local boards necessary to
help administer it could be ap
pointed at once. Regulations
and registration forms could be
printed and issued to them.
The system then would be
ready to swing into action at
any time, on orders from Capi
tol Hill, and experts believe It
would have the first men reach
ing army camps within 30 days
thereafter.
There has been no indication
in any quarters that the army
wants to institute selective serv

GERMAN OFFICIALS I
DENY WM. BULLITT
TAKEN jNCUSTODY
U. S. Embassy in Berlin Un
informed On Report to
Washington Envoy Held
Berlin, June 14. (JP) Ger
man authorities tonight denied
a report, received from a source
which is usually trustworthy,
that U. S. Ambassador William
C. Bullitt had been placed in
protective custody by German
military authorities In Paris.
The United States embassy here
said it had no information on
the subject.
WishlniUu. June 14. UP
Informed today of Berlin re
ports that Ambassador William
C. Bullitt was in "protective
custody" in Paris, where earlier
he had sent the word that Ger
man troops were "Inside the
gates", President Roosevelt
posed this question:" " '
Could the ambassador be pro
tected against what and whom?
The exchange was at the
president's press conference,
some 10 hours after the state
department received Bullitt's la
conic message which, while say
ing "the city was quiet," left
the fate of France's capital un
certain. Massage Delayed
The message took almost 11
hours in transit from France.
Bullitt had cabled that he
and members of his staff were
remaining in Paris "as the rep
resentative of the diplomatic
corps" in the hope of rendering
"any assistance possible in see
ing to It that the transfer of the
government of the city takes
place without loss of human
life."
The phrasing was interpreted
in some quarters here to mean
that all other diplomats had
quit the French capital as the
smashing nazi advance surged
closer to the outskirts of the
city.
