In some sections, according to reports from over the border, the United States flag is not al lowed to be displayed because of the pro-American demonstra tions that result. Many observers from France say that Vice Premier Darlan's unpopularity, of which Petain spoke, is due to his foreign pol icy. Estimates of these observers vary, but some of them say as high as 80 per cent of the popu lation of unoccupied France and 90 per cent in occupied France are pro-British. VICHY, Unoccupied France, Aug. 13 Vice Premier Ad miral Jean Darlan, newly awarded vast powers over mili tary and other phases of French life, decided today to make a minute and a half radio an nouncement at 9 o'clock (2 p. m.

They ridiculed .American edi torial commentators, they said, wrote "as though France ought to have planted herself under UnttecT States protection. These German sources also said that at the moment they could not comment on British Russian asurances to Turkey ex cept that "we hear their words but lack the faith to believe them." r VITAL STATISTICS FABIANEK Born at Klam ath Valley hospital, Klamath Falls, Ore., August 11, 1941, to Mr. and Mrs. John Fabianek, 4944 Homedale road, a girl.

This vote clearly indicates that the administration could not get a resolution through congress for a declara tion of war." By . RUSSELL TURNER WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 (UP) The house last night passed the administration's army service ex tension bill by one vote after it appeared that a powerful non interventionist coalition had mus tered enough strength to defeat it. The final roll call was 203 to 202. Speaker Sam Rayburn or dered a recapitulation. A recount showed the same tally, however, and while bi-partisan opponents roared their opposition, Rayburn declared the measure approved. '" - Nation Jeopardised The bill, already approved by the senate, proclaims the nation in jeopardy and extends by 18 months the service of all army men selectees, national guards men, reservists and regular en listed personnel. The administration had anti cipated a close vote but the lead ership was astounded by the re sult. Only a few moments before the roll call, the leaders had en gineered defeat of a recommit tal motion, 215 to 190, Indicating they had a safe margin of 23 votes for passage. Some members who voted against recommittal did a 'run out" before the final ballot, how ever, and the administrationists held their breath as the roll call showed the "nos" in the ascend ancy. The selective service act pro vides that draftees, reservists and national guardsmen may be held on duty for only one year. The 18-month extension thus automatically increases their tenure of service to two and one half years. Enlisted men could be held 18 months be yond their regular enlistment period, or a total of four and one half years. In addition to the extension clause, both chambers provided: An unequivocal declaration that "the national interest is imperiled." f. - , Elimination of the 900,000 lim itation in the selective service act on the number of selectees who may be in training at any single time. A JlO-a-month raise for all army men, except officers, after they have completed their first year of service. An important difference is a clause concerning so-c ailed "hardship cases." The house ver sion requires the secretary of war to dismiss soldiers who can show continued service would "subject them or their wives or other dependents to undue hard ship. . . ." The senate left such dismissals to the secretary's dis cretion. In addition, the house failed to make provision for dismissal of selectees who have passed their 28th birthday, as the sen ate did. House leaders explained that this matter was covered in other legislation.

Other court members agreed and ine action was unnnimoiiB. : The county officials pointed out that there are many places to put every available cent of road money, "and then some. Engineer Howard said that if a straight mill and a half levy is granted in the budget for roads next year, a more adequate pro gram can be carried out desptto the extra expenditure at the end Of this year (or the airport road Lake o' The Woods Road In the discussion of the present road problem, the matter of the Lake o' the Woods road came up. It was pointed out that this Is a recreation rather than a utility road, and it might have to wait. The county had planned to put $2500 on this road this year.' Mayor John Houston, an ac tive member of the Lake o' the Woods Homeowners association, said: "I have been one of those who have pressed for work on this road, and there is no doubt that it is needed. But it is plain to me that if a sacrifice must bo made, the airport road re-location should bo considered an emerg ency and should come first. However, after the meeting, county officials said they believ ed it would be possible to find the $6000 without sacrificing the Lake o' the Woods work entire ly. City Engineer E. A. Thomas said that the army engineers have agreed to construct a drain ditch near the proposed road re location, which will provide dirt for the road Itself. The federal government, however, will not put any money directly Into the road. Thomas pointed out that the road problem had come to a head because the government has granted the money for the addi tional runway sooner than had been expected. It has also chang ed the runway site so the strip of concrete will point at Olene gap rather than Stukel mountain, as had been originally planned The city . engineer said that It Is his understanding the gov ernment will have the new run way work done by the contractor now building two runways at the airport. However, he stated, there can be no delay In clearing tha way for the work, if this plan Is carried through.
