Washington, July 2. P
President Roosevelt signed into
law today a bill providing au
thority for the control of exports
from the United States of muni
tions, materials, and machinery
essential to the national defense.
In a proclamation signed a
few minutes later he designated
Lieutenant Colonel Russell L.
Maxwell, U. S. army, adminis
trator of export control.
The proclamation also listed
items subject to licensing for
export.
The list Included basic metals
and other goods and products
containing them, as well as
chemicals, aircraft parts, armor
plate, glass, and numerous other
materials.
To Avoid Shortages
A White House statement said
the items included certain stra
tegic materials as well as semi
finished products and machine
tools of which there are actual
or prospective shortages as a
result of the national defense
program."
The material and production
divisions of the national defense
advisory commission, the state
ment added, "are collaborating
with the administrator of export
control in the determination of
the items to be controlled and
the extent and character of the
controls to be exercised."
While the control of exports
is primarily a national defense
matter, the statement said the
state department would provide
j the machinery for the actual
issuance of licenses.

of his appointment, Stimson
said that the president tele
phoned him at his New York
law office on June 19 and ask
ed that he take the war de
partment position "as a call to
duty."
"The position had absolutely
no relation to politics, the pres
ident told me," Stimson said,
"and I agreed with him."
"Nothing was said about a
third term?" asked Senator
Johnson (D. Colo.).
"No,"- Stimson replied, "noth

third term."
Knox, in answer to questions
by Senator Ellender (D., La.)
said the president first offered
him the navy post last Novem

declined it then. He testified
that he later agreed to take it
when the surrender of France
increased what he called the
"great danger to this nation. '
Senator Ellender broke in to
ask Knox if there "had been
any discussion of the third
term?"
"I know what you're think

a smile. "There were no com

on either side."

and some Democrats who asked
an expression of their views on
the question whether the United
States should intervene in the
European war,
At one point Knox was asked
by Chairman Walsh (D., Mass.)
of the naval committee whether,
publicly or privately, he had
urged giving military support
to the allies
"Never," the Chicago news
paper publisher replied crisply.
Knox said his appointment to
the cabinet probably was due
to the fact that the president
and he held similar views on
national preparedness and aid to
the allies which he described
as "every aid short of war."
This, he said, means furnish
ing England all the supplies she
is able to buy and pay for short
of "our organized army and
navy."
Sees Danger
The testimony touched upon
the possibility of war in either
the Atlantic or Pacific when
Knox said that dangers to
United States security in the
European situation had caused
him to reconsider his previous
advocacy of a "strong policy"
toward Japan.
"I think it is likely that if
England is defeated," he ex
plained, "we will be far more
gravely menaced in the Atlantic
than we have ever been before.
We may be forced to choose
between the threat in the At
lantic and the threat in the Pa
cific and it probably would be
unwise to precipiate both at the
same time."
If the United States attempt
ed to deny the Dutch East In
dies to Japan, he said under
questioning, that, "possibly, ult
imately," might mean war. And
should the nation not be able
to wage a successful war on
Japan singlehandcdly, he added,
"then we had better not make
any threats at all."
Stimson, who served as sec
retary of state in the Republi
can administration of Presideni
Hoover, expressed himself as
being against sending troops
"beyond our borders unless the
protection of the United States
makes such action necessary."

The planes were said to have
been purchased by Rumania but
their delivery at this time was
considered highly significant.
Reds Complete Move
Tass, Soviet official news
agency, reported the Red army
had completed its occupation of
Bessarabia and northern Buco
vina, the provinces which Ru
mania ceded upon Russian de
mand. Hungarian and Bulgarian at
tacks on Rumanian border out
posts were reported in Rumania,
with casualties on all sides. A
showdown on Hungarian claims
on the Rumanian province of
Transylvania was believed im
minent. Bulgaria desires southern
Bobruja. Rumania got both Do
bruja and Transylvania after
the world war.
Rumania, busily strengthen
ing her forces on those frontiers,
and expecting attacks if Ger-i
man pacification attempts should
fail, still hoped that these two
potential foes might be placated
and induced to cooperate in
halting any further Russian inroads.
The border incidents were
held in some Rumanian official
circles to be Hungary's and Bui.

That Rumania has definitely
