D. 1 WILL SEEK 7 BILLION IRE IN CURRENT WEEK Army, Navy and Lend-Lease Program Will Share New Appropriation, Says Early Washington, July 0. VP) President Roosevelt will ask congress this week for an addi tional appropriation for both de fense and lend-lease operations. Some administrations said the figure would equal the original $7,000,000,000 lend-lease bill. Without announcing the ex act sum, Stephen T. Early, White House press secretary, told re porters that the supplemental estimates woul' be for the army. navy, and maritime commission in connection with increased do mestic defense and an increase in the lend-lease program. More Needed Soon . Budget Director Harold D. Smith brought the new estimates to the White House today for a final check with the president. Informed persons had predic ted the request earlier. They said that all of the first fund would be allocated by the end of August and that a new appropriation of approximately the same size would be needed almost Immediately to plan fur ther arms production. The first $7,000,000,000, they added, already has been expand ed by administrative action to approximately $8,000,000,000. They explained that the lease- land act authorized the use of $1,300,000,000 of other appro priations for British aid pur poses, but left to the president's discretion whether this supple mentary money should be repaid from the lease-lend appropria tion. In practice, it was said, lit tle of this "other money" is be ing reimbursed, so actually it serves to swell the original $7, 000,000,000 fund. Great Britain has been getting nearly all the lease-lend mater ial, although some has gone to China and there is now a pos sibility that shipments eventual ly may go to Russia. Frank B. Wire, state game su pervisor, discussed Oregon wild life at the Tuesday luncheon meeting of Medford Rotary club, at the Hotel Medford. Following his brief address a moving pic ture was shown featuring the great antelope herds of the Hart Mountain area. "Oregon is the seventh state in the nation In big game, third in elk and third In antelope," Wire told the Rotarians. "There Is still lots of wildlife In this state although the natural habi tat of wild life is gradually be ing invaded by the increasing number of people coming to Oregon to live," he said. The state game official re minded his audience of steps taken by the state to improve fishing in Rogue River. If and when the army cantonment comes to southern Oregon, add ed restrictions must be expected. A high tribute to the scenic beauty of the Crater and Dia mond lake and the Rogue River area was paid by Mr. Wire. FLUHRER APT.

De Loranio (UP Staff Correspondent) Detroit (U.R) A production shortcut to speed output of bad ly-needed landing gears for the 28-ton, 300-mile an hour Con solidated B24D bomber has been installed by the Ford Mo tor company. Edsel Ford, president, said the company is going to build the 1,000-pound tricycle landing gears in the River Rouge tire plant until its $18,000,000 bomber parts plant near Ypsl- lanti, Mich., is ready for use late this year. The job of building this landing equipment is a tough one, he said, "so we are not going to waste any time in get ting the production problems licked." 5-a-Diy at Start Landing gears for five bomb ers a day will be produced in the temporary plant's produc tion unit, which Ford said can be moved to the new bomber parts plant later. The parts plant is separate from the $21,- uuu.ooo airplane engine factory under construction within the 1,200-acre tract embraced by Ford's River Rouge plant. Slow production of the land ing gears, or so-called "oleas, ' is threatening to delay the huge four-engined army bomb ers. With the exception of the engines the "oleos" are regard ed as the most complicated part of the B-24Ds. They must be rugged to ab sorb the shock of landing the 55,000-pound plane at a speed of about 100 miles an hour. They also must not be un wieldy as they fold up into the wings when the ship is in flight. Seek Shortcut Ford engineers, confronted by heavy demand for the "oleos," are experimenting with the design, hoping to simplify production and thereby facili tate delivery of bomber planes on schedule. They plan to send sample designs to army test lab oratories for examination.

TOWN GIVES UP RENTED STREET Delphos, O. (UP The vil lage of Delphos has been renting one of its main thoroughfares from the state of Ohio since 1907 and now refuses to continue the rental payments. As a result the state may have a city street on its hands. Canal street is improved and business houses face it, but the one-block street has never been owned by the city. The state has been collecting $30 a year in rent from Delphos taxpayers ana now asks renewal of a con tract on a 15-year basis at the same rental. 30 WAR ITALY, GERMANY FIK YUGOSLAVIAN LINES Rome, July 9. (JP) The sig nature of accords fixing a new German-Italian frontier through the territory conquered in Yugo slavia was announced today.
