In the current maneuvers
along 100-mile western Wash
ington front, most of the dis
tance is covered only by defen
sive holding units or patrols
while the four divisions are
drawn up as the main self-con
tained striking forces.
Even the four circular divis
ions are not along an even front
at intervals, officers explained,
but in battle array two would
be up and two dropped back for
reserve knockout punch.
The rounded division also of
fered the tactical advantage of
being able to wheel swiftly for
defensive action or a thrust in
any direction.
All remained quiet again early
today on the western front, but
officers indicated that defending
forces would launch a "big push"
in the next 24 or 48 hours.

ASSAILED IN
(Continued from Page One)
15 and the war department fig?
ures and there would be, the
president remarked, even if a
zero were added to the 15.
Furthermore, he continued,
Byrd said only 15 81-millimeter
mortars would be produced per
month in the months immediate
ly ahead. In July, he said, pro
duction was actually 221. In
August the output will be 340,
he said, and in September and
October it will be even larger.
Substantially Correct
Byrd's figures on planes were
substantially correct, Mr. Roose
velt said, adding in response to
a question that the senator had
used those of the office of pro
duction management.
The president said that some
one should ask William S. Knud-
sen, OFM director, about the
matter, but that it was his recol
lection the July plane produc
tion was 1465 compared with an
earlier estimate of 1300 for the
month.
The president took exception
to what he said was Byrd's con
tention that production of mili
tary planes had declined progres
sively in May, June and July.
The number of training planes
increased, Mr. Roosevelt said,
and the production of military
aircraft remained steady because
of changes in design and the
testing of new designs to meet
lessons learned last spring.
But the fact remains, he said,
that the senator's statement as
a whole, in every single item ex
cept planes, was as full of dis
crepancies as those he had men
tioned. It was in answer to a question
that Mr. Roosevelt said that de
fense production had not been
entirely satisfactory. In saying
that, he was voicing no new
opinion, but only one which he
has expressed before.
On some things production is
ahead of schedule and on tome
things behind, he said, and that
is on the assumption that the
original estimates were right.
Possibly some of these estimates
were too low or too high, he sug
gested. But on the average, he
said, production is up with esti
mates. In Washington, Senator Byrd
issued this statement in reply
to Mr. Roosevelt:
"In admitting the accuracy of
my speech in the senate as to
fighting plane production, the
president sustains the principal
factor in my anxiety over the
inadequacy of the aid we are
giving to Great Britain and the
inadequacy of our own protec
tion.
"So far as his wisecrack that
'somebody had sold the senator
down the river in his figures'
is concerned, I will say that
wisecracks may create amuse
ment but do not accomplish mili
tary preparedness.
My speech in the senate
is
substantially accurate."
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our many
kind friends and express our
gratitude for their many acts of
kindness and the beautiful flow
ers extended during the bereave
ment of our loved one. We wish
to especially thank the people of

Wednesday that no formal appli
cation for credits had been re
ceived from Russia, but some ex

ken place.
His announced readiness to
consider an RFC loan' for Russia
won quick support from Sena
tors Thomas (D-Utah) and Bailey
(D-N. C), advocates of Increased
aid to countries fighting Ger
many. Bailey told newsmen that
while he held no brief for the

did not think that idealogical dis
likes should deter this country
from any material contribution
it could make to hasten a Ger
man defeat
"It it was a den of rattle
snakes opposing Hitler, I would
aid and abet them," he declared.
Taking much the same view,
Thomas called it good business
to extend the credits. If the Unit
ed States were promised pay
ment in vital raw materials, such
as Russian manganese ore.
Denmark Told
Occupation of
Iceland Not Choice
COPENHAGEN, German-Oc
cupied Denmark, Aug. 22 (TV-
Prime Minister Thovald Staun-
lng said In a declaration to the
lower house of parliament to
day that Iceland had no choice
in the matter of occupation by
U. S. troops.
But, Stauning asserted, he had
faith in the American promise
to leave the strategic northern
island after the war.
Meanwhile, he said, there is
a possibility that Iceland may
become directly involved in the
conflict.
(Iceland and German-occupied
Denmark are technically sister
kingdoms under the tame
crown).

Bloody Harian
County Takes
Two More Lives
HARLAN, Ky., Aug. 22 UP)
New eruption of Harlan county's
deadly labor strife, taking the
lives of two more miners by
gunshot, brought an agreement
today to close until Monday a
coal mine where the whine of
bullets accompanied picketing
yesterday.
w. c. Burrow, state industrial
relations commissioner, said
operators of the International
Harvester company's mine at
Benham agreed to the closing
at his request. The mine was
the scene of the picketing and
the center of the district where
the shooting and fatalities oc
curred.
His purpose in asking the
shutdown, Burrow said, was
"to establish law and order in
this community." He said opera
tion would resume Monday.
Two outbursts of shooting oc
curred near the mine. Burrow
reported "some shots" had bean
fired last night and attributed
the violence to a long standing
dispute of CIO and AFL unions
over claims to rights as col
lective bargaining representa
tives.

though acknowledging that Iran
was pressed for a quick answer,
denied that an ultimatum had
been issued.
Usually well-informed persons
called the presence of German

were 10 to one to prevent ag
