ROOSEVELT URGE

ACTION

S—

“National Defense: Senate

tion Authorizing Him to Call Out Guard.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23

+ today urged immediate enactment of the pending conseription bill. He said it was absolutely essential to build up an adequate national defense team. ction came as the Senate sent to the White House legislation authorizing the President to mobilize 395,000 National Guardsmen and organized -reserves « for military training and hemisphere defense.

The appeal for :

The President's position was made clear at a press conference when he was asked about his attitude toward proposed amendments which . would compel the Army to depend on voluntary enlistments until Jan. 1 before be- . ginning the compulsory service system. The President went into a long discussion of the troop situation ¢ based on a report submitted to him by Secretary of War Henry L Stimson Mr. Roosevelt said that the nha- + tion's defenses required action within the next two weeks, He called attention to the fact that the bill was submitted June 20 and it 1s now past Aug. 20 and that both House and Senate are still talking about it.

Objects to Volunteer Test

Mr. Roosevelt said the the proposed voluntary enlistment amendment would mean more delay. He said that the Administration has been concentrating on orders for defense equipment which will be delivered later in the fall and that equipment without men is of no use. At the present rate of voluntary enlistment, he said, it would take a Vvear to obtain the 400,000 men needed to bring the regular Army and National Guard to full strength. He thought it would take a year to obtain by enlistment the second contingent of 400,000 §oops needed to build up organization,

Feels U. 8. Troops “Soft”

He said he observed at Army maneuversein New York that the men were willing. but too many of them were soft and a 15-mile a day march was a terrible ordeal He noted that certain European armies were able to march 30 miles a day and that this ability can be extremely important If the establishment of an enlarged organized Army is postponed until next spring, Mr. Roosevelt contended, it will throw the whole defense program behind schedule, « because there already is ample basic equipment. The President summed it up this way:

If the United States doesn’t get|

the conscription bill right away— in a couple of weeks—the United States will have trouble getting the team together. He said he had in mind an Army of about 1,200,000 men, which would require two increments of 400,000 men each in addition to forces

Guard Call Expected Soon

Authority to mobilize the Guard would last until June 30, 1942 ..Soon after the President sighs the bill, he is expected to order up four National Guard divisions and some anti-aircraft regiments, comprising 53.000 men, for duty on Sept. 15 Another 53000 will be ordered up Oct. 13: 83000 on Nov, 15 and 20.000 more on Dee. 15 according to latest War Department plans Some of those subject to call will be exempt because of dependents, hut after 12 months of instructing the remainder the United States will have a supply of trained manpower over 675.000 strong to man its expanded defense machine, All would be available to send

NEED FOR MILK

Educator Fears Child Toll Will Be Severe Unless Food Is Hurried. By RALPH HEINZEN

United Press Staff Correspondent

| VICHY, France, Aug. 23. —American Quaker relief authorities said today that on the basis of a survey of the occupied and unoccupied re(gions of France, 3.000000 French children will be desperately in need of milk this winter, | Dr. Joseph Stokes of Philadelphia, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, said that "if France doesn't get vitamins by Christmas, more children will die this winter than France had men killed in the war.” Dr. Stokes left Vichy this morning en route to Lisbon by way of Lyons, carrying a copy of the survey which will become the basis of the Quakers’ relief work in Franced this winter, The survey covered German Army prison camps and French refugee concentrations, as well as the* food prospects, of the unoccupied prov[inces of France resulting from the | British blockade. The conclusion was drawn that France urgently needs medical supplies, milk for 3,000,000 children, oils, fats and meats. Mm camps where 1800000 French | soldiers have been held prisoners since the armistice, the health situation is bad, according to uncon[firmed reports. One report was that the prisoners were given only 100 jerams of bread and three glasses of water daily Dr. Stokes said: “France needs cod liver, halibut liver and tuna liver oils. It can get tuna from the [ Mediterranean, but if it uses all the {livers of all the tunast: can cateh, it will still have only 10 per cent of its requirements. The frst boatload of codfish from Ireland got through the blockade and landed at Casablanca last week. There is no {more cheese except a small quantity [of aurillae, very few eggs and those (all within the occupied zone. “France will have enough bread but very little meat, no sugar, oil, | fats or soap, a very small supply of milk, insufficient vegetables, but plenty of fruit. A few potatoes come from Brittany. The Germans prgmised to permit shipments of pofatoes but none is arriving.

anywhere in the Western Hemisphere or the Philippines in event lof an emergency. | Meanwhile, as the Senate en‘tered its 11th day of debate on the [conscription bill, a new issue—the right of draftees to vote—delayed) consideration, of the measure and Senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley admitted that changes of passage this week are “gloomy.” Senator Rennett C. Clark (D Mo.) will sponsor an amendment to insure voting rights, His plan vesterday prolonged discussion of the amendment currently before the Chamber a proposal to restrict the total number of conseripts to 800,(000. Long speeches are still to be [delivered on that issue and pros- | pects point to a vote about the middle of next week,
