'i. ml m REVISION OF GOVERNMENT SAID REASON (Continued from Page One) drastic renovation of itself," the announcement said. Prince Konoye therefore asked his ministers, assembled in spec ial session, for their resigna- tions and went to the imperial villa at Hayama-at 9 p. m. to night (4 a. m., PST) to present them to Emperor Hirohito. Grave Issues The resignation came exactly a year after Prince Konoye was entrusted with the formation of a government which was to deal with grave issues arising from the war in Europe, especially the German conquest of France and the lowlands. The Konoye cabinet was form ally inducted on July 18, 1940, two days after the emperor com missioned Konoye with its form ation. The premier journeyed to Hayama to present the resigna tion of his cabinet to Emperor Hirohito, who commanded Kon oye and his ministers to remain in office until further notice. The prince then returned to the capital and called a special cabinet meeting to which he con veyed the emperor's command. (The usual formality is for the emperor to command the resign ing cabinet to remain in office until a succeeding government is formed.) Senate Support For Extension of Draft Service WASHINGTON. July 16 P) Extended military service for selectees, national guardsmen and members of the army re serve was reported authorita tively today to be gaining sub stantial support in the senate, now that President Roosevelt has given it his formal and un qualified backing. Presidential approval of a war department proposal that the present one-year service limitation be removed was con veyed to congress yesterday by Robert P. Patterson, undersecre tary of war. In a letter to Speaker, Rayburn, Patterson also asserted : grimly that to de mobilize about two-thirds of the army in the next few months "would be to court disaster." A short time later at his press conference Mr. Roosevelt said the issue of holding the men in service beyond the year for which they were called was squarely : up to congress. But he added emphatically that he thought it was a simple choice to make, in times like, these whether the army should be dis integatati or not In the senate even some op ponents of extension legislation said the administration had suf ficient votes to assure its pass age. One opposition strategist, requesting his name not be used, said an informal canvass indicated that .if sponsors did not press a proposal which has, in fact, been shelved for authority to send troops out side the western hemisphere there was little doubt about enactment of the extension leg' islation.

On Newt (Continued from Page One) year ago, when the Germans were boiling into France, the French hung cannon to the fusel ages of their planes and for a few brief hours knocked out a lot of German tanks by firing down at them from above. With their immense superior ity in the air, however, tlio Ger mans soon cleaned up the small number of planes the French were thus able to equip. THIS new technique story, of sources whose reliability can't be guaranteed. But if true it indi cates that the Russian army has not only bravery and determin ation (as every student of history knows) but considerable in genuity as well.
