POWER EXPANSION
WASHINGTON, July 16 (VP)
Expenditure-of almost J1.000,-
000,000 for construction of pow
er generating facilities during
the next five years, to meet
pressing defense demands for
electric energy, was recom
mended to President Roosevelt
today by the federal power com

REVISION OF
GOVERNMENT
SAID REASON

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.
Officers Return
From Convention
Larry Bergmann and Todd
Knapp, state police officers, re
turned Tuesday night from Port
land where they attended the
Pacific Coast International Law
Enforcement Officers associ
ation. Two officers were named
from each district of state po
lice. The two took part in the

ficers. Police Officer Harold Dawson
of Medford, formerly of this
city, spent Tuesday here check
ing radios in state police head
quarters and cars.

Editorial! 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.
PARLEY HELD ON
Union and management rep
resentatives were in conference
at Chiloquin Wednesday after
noon discussing features of a
proposed contract, conclusion of
which is expected to end the
strike at the Chiloquin Lumber
company's mill and woods oper
ations. Progress was reported at the
conference but final action had
not been taken.
The conference, it was under
stood, was actually a continu
ance of discussions which began
between union and management
when the CIO International
Woodworkers of America was
named bargaining agent after
an election last May.
This week, men in both mill
and woods struck, demanding
that the contract be concluded
before work Is resumed.
