the reosons for extension o f selec
tive service. W ar Secretary Stimson
said the Government realized the
personal secrlflce o f additional ser
vice but was also conscious of the
danger to the U. 8. He said "some
o f the most significant symptoms—
which invariably forecast the com
ing o f a new Axis attack—are oc
curring in South America,—the most
dangerous avenue of attack against
us.”
The War Department announced
that unless the international situa
tion becomes more serious It Intends
to release by December 10 approx
imately 150.000 National Guards
men Inducted last fall. 20,000 selec

The release will be made upon ap

following priorities: dependency and
hardship, age of more than 28 on
July 1, 1941, and marriage for those
who have served 12 months. Men
completing enlistments will also be

Aid U> Britian, Russia, China
The President announced aircraft
ferry and air transport services to
West Africa and the Middle East
ern war zone to provide direct and
speedy delivery to "a critical point
in the front against aggression."
The route will be so arranged that
It will not pass through the zone of
actual warfare, Mr. Roosevelt said.
The President told his press con
ference Russian needs fall into two
categories: (1) materials immedi
ately available to help them in
their summer campaign; (2) mater
ials which will be available for the
spring campaign next year. Russia
will not get lease-lend aid, the Pres
ident said, because the Soviets have
the necessary cash on hand for ma
terials.
The Public Health Service an
nounced a 16-member U. S. medi
cal commission will go to China to
direct health measuriy for 250.000
Chinese building the 1,700 mile rail
road along the Burma road.
Production
President Roosevelt told his press
conference that on the average de
fense productiion is up to estimates
and in some cases actually exceeds
estimates. He said, however, he still
Is not satisfied with armament pro
duction. He said several hundred
tanks manufactured this year have
gone to the British: the quota of
til anti-aircraft guns monthly Is be
ing more than met; 160 37-mm. an
ti-tank guns will be delivered In
August. 260 In September and 320
in October; 340 81mm. mortars will
be made In August.
OPM Director Knudsen told a
press conference the rate of defense
progress Is sufficient to provide ade
quate equipment for the Army with
in six or seven months. He pre
dicted again the U. S. can out-pro
duce any other nation but said that
the natio Is still not showing the
correct spirit.
Production rather
than shipping, he said, is the great
est bottleneck In U. S. aid to Britain.
War Under Secretary Patterson,
speaking at Syracuse, said the Army
will not have to resart to broom
sticks instead of weapons for train
ing because "America Is at last
pushing toward peak production. . .
Tooling up will soon be over. Guns,
tanks and planes are coming In dal
ly Increasing numbers.'’ He cited
production increases In the past six
I months: tanks. Boo percent; other
vehicles. 600 percent; machine guns.
225 percent; anti-aircraft guns. 400

OPM Associate Director Hillman
said unemployment In the indus
try would be headed o ff by trans
fer of workers to defense plants and
other defense Industries and the con
version of auto production machin
ery to defense wofk along the same
lines as similar moves In the silk
Industry.
Defense Contracting
The OPM announced changes In
Army and Navy purchasing policies
to combat unemployment In plants
and communities threatened with
shortages of materials because of
priority action and to utilize more
of the nation's productive capacities
through subcontracting. The G ov
ernment can negotiate contracts at
prices up to 15 percent above cur
rent quotations, deal with joint
groups of small contractors, elimin
ate bids and performance bonds
when necessary, inspect products at
the plant to facilitate prompt pay
ment and call for bids to be broken
down Into optional units to permit
smaller firms to bid.
Agriculture
Price Administrator Henderson set
ceiing prices of burlap, used at the
packaging of feed fertilizer and ag
riculture products at approximat
ely 20 percent below recent New
York quotations.
OPM announced 35 to 40 new egg-
drying plants will be built by pri
vate interests at a cost of from
550.000 to $100,000 each in Illinois.
Iowa. Indiana. Kansas. Minnesota.
New York, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and
Ohio, increasing capacity
from
12.000 000 to more than 100 . 000,000
pounds annually to provide dried
eggs to Great Britian. Similar pro
jects are under consideration to ex
pand milk drying, cheese and other
concentrated food production for
American and British requirements.
Civilian Defense
Civilian Defense Director La-
Guardia arranged for the frst State
wide “blackout" to be held the night
of September 12 in New Mexico.
Twelve towns will be "bombed” fires

other emergencies will be rerear-
shed.
Mr. LaGuardla also announced a
training program for 100,000 vol
unteer nurses' aides with the col
laboration of the Red Cross and
local hospitals. The Public Health
Service called for 50,000 young wo
men to begin professional nursing
training this fall to meet a future
shortage.
At present, the Service
said, there are 10.000 vacant posi
tions for registered nurses in the na
tion's hospitals.
Credit Control
Tre Federal Reserve Board issued
tentative regulations which It said
will probably be placed in effect in
September to increase the required
size of down payments or. install
ment buying (they will be from 15
to 33 percent) and to shorten to 18
months the time for payments on
autos, airplanes, power boats, motor
cycles, refrigerators, washing ma
chines. stoves, air-conditioners, ra
dio sets and similar household ap
pliances.
