WASHINGTON, July 1 (U. P.).—Congress took a re-

cess today after establishing a record of $32,582,599,737 for

a single session’s appropriations. Both houses will be idle until Thursday. They completed action on $4,288,452, 345 of appropriations in one day’s

gion, the last of the measures being passed out just 90|

minutes before the fiscal year ended at midnight last night.

These appropriations were added to’ the total of $28,306,-

147, 372 already voted.

‘U.S. REGISTERS 750,000 TODAY

No Date Set for Lottery; Probable Time Is Late ' This Month.

WASHINGTON, July 1 (U. P).—

An estimated 750,000 youths register today in the second peace-time muster of military manpower. The new registrants had become 21 years old since the first registration Oct. 16. The new registration was far less spectacular \than the first. Approximately 200,000 clerks in 6500 local selective service board offices and in about 1000 supplementary’ registration places were filling out the Melon-colored cards for the ‘registrants. Approximately 600,000 of the 16,000,000 registered Oct. 16 are now in the Army. But a large proportion of the 21-year-old registrants are expected to qualify for military training because fewer of them haye dependents or physical debili-

he date has been set for the lottery which will determine the order in which the new registrants will be drafted. Officials said it probably would be held in the last two [weeks of the month. President Roosevelt has terued an executive order authorizing the in-

duction of 900,000 selectees during

the fiscal year beginning today. A bill awaiting Congressional action would permit the deferment of * all men 28 years or older. In addi-

tion, Brig. Gen. Lewis Hershey, dep- ~ uty selective service director, has instructed the local boards to defer all married men and others maxing “any substantial contributions” to the support of dependents,

STATE BOARD 0. K.'S

SPECIAL CITY BUDGET

The State Tax Board today approved the $2,914,000 emergency sixmonth budget for the Indianapolis School City.. The emergency ‘budget is $24,154 over the estimate made for the period in connection with the prepazation of the budget for 1940-41. s increase is due to higher coal prices, the T. B. tests required by am law and the employees of additional elementary teachers. Approval of an emergency sixmonth budget is necessary to give & legality to &he School Board's ex- » penditures - during the next six © months, The School City operates * on the fiscal year and its entire budget will not reach the Tax Board until late this fall.

The new appropriations

were. Labor-Federal security bill, carrying funds to run the Labor Department and provide social security payments, $1,195,861,940. Agriculture bill, $1,060,500,063, including $212,000,000 far parity payments and nearly $500,000,000 for soil conservation ben Relief, $910,905,000,: to provide jobs for 1,000,000 persons during the coming 12 months.

Provides Naval Planes

Second deficiency bill, approximately $1,030,000,000, carrying funds for 2236 naval planes and 19 auxiliaries, '$150,000,000 for national

defense community facilities, and other defense purposes. Legislative, $25,002,256, expenses of Congress. District of Columbia, $54,183,106, to run the city of Washington. The previous record for appropriations in one session established for the fiscal year 1919, was $23,065,148,000. Rep. John Taber (R. N, Y.) estimeted that non-defense expenditures increased by $88,378,352 over last year. “Enough sense of patriotism and enough courage has not come to the House of Representatives to reduce the non-defense items in the appropriations bills at all,” Taber said.

Little to Be Done

“I venture to predict that when the tax bill, calling for from three to four billion dollars, comes in the people of this country will rise and smite those who have been responsible for increasing these appropriations.” Little will be done by either House until after the July 4 week-end, although the Senate may consider on Thursday the Judiciary Committee’s unanimously favorable report on the nomination of Robert H. Jackson to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Senator Millard E, Tydings (D. Md.) unsuccessfully: opposed the nomination before the committee, condemning as “unfitted by character, philosophy and judicial temperament” to §it on the high bench.

‘Pappy’ O'Daniel Leads in Texas

DALLAS, Tex. July 1 (U. P.). —Gov. W. Lee O‘Daniel today forged into a 12-vote lead over Rep. Lyndon Johnson, New Deal favorite, in the special election to select a new United States Senator. Rep. Johnson had led in the count since first returns were tabulated Saturday night, but the .rural vote gradually cut down the margin and today’s tabulations by the Texas Election Board placed Gov. O’Daniel ahead. The Election Board’s unofficial count, gave O’Daniel 173,674 and Johnson 173,662, with the count complete from 238 of the state’s 254 counties, The Board estimated there are still about 2000 votes to be counted.. They are chiefly from rural areas, where

JAPAN TO RELY ON OWN POWER

Konoye ‘Asks Unity of Nation as Axis Recognizes Nanking Puppet.

TOKYO, July 1 (U. P.).—Japan should depend on her own power to establish a “new order” in East Asia regardless of international developments or “whatever other nations might say,” Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye said in a na-tion-wide radio broadcast today. Speaking to the National Service Clubs, Konoye said he realized Sino-Japanese hostilities were entering their fifth year, but he called on the people to consider Japan's mission and tighten their belts for any eventuality. Japan’s future is bright it the people unite strongly, he promised. Col. Hayao Mabuchi, army spokesman, said the world was clearly divided into two factions, those séeking a new world order and those seeking to maintain the status quo. “The Chinese war already is inseparably related to the World War and therefore the result of the World War as well as settlement of the China War hinges on Japan's attitude, which at present is being formulated,” Mabuchi said. “Japan's vote will determine Japan’s real power.” Germany, Italy, Rumania, Slovakia and Croatia meanwhile recognized the Japanese-sponsored regime in occupied China in an attempt to strengthen Japan’s position in the Far East. and keep it lined up with the Axis powers. : The Japanese had set up the Nanking regime, under Japaneseeducated Wang Ching-Wei, former Chinese premier, more than a year ago in an attempt to undermine the influence of the Chinese Government. Officially the Nanking regime is the “national government” of China.

CHUNGKING, China, July 1, (U. P.).—The Foreign Office today recalled the Chinese ambassador to Berlin, the charge d’affaires to Rome, and all embassy staff members in both capitals because of Axis recognition of the Nanking Government in China.

Knox Calls for

WASHINGTON, July 1 (U. P)

German mehace” coincided today submarines.

United States could not properly aid the British while remaining on a 40-hour work week. Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.) isolationist spokesman, proposed a Senate Naval Affairs Committee investigation of reports that American naval vessels have been “shooting or destroying” German naval vessels.

Chairman David I. Walsh (D. Mass.) of the Naval Affairs .Committee, told questioners the Wheeler resolution would be considered next week.

Walsh Seeks Truth

“I don’t believe there is anything to these reports,” Walsh said, “but the public is entitled to know and I'm going to see that we find out

the truth.” Walsh intimated that Knox would be called before the committee to comment on a report that an American destroyer had attacked a German submarine, which appeared on June 9 in the newspaper column of Joseph‘ Alsop and Robert Kintner one week after Alsop was sworn in as a naval reserve officer,

the “Washington Merry-go-Round” the column of Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen, which said on June 23 that American naval vessels “patroling and convoying” 80 British merchant vessels toward the African coast had returned with word that submarine vibrations had been picked up and that one of the American destroyers had dropped depth bombs.

Knox: ‘Time to Strike’

“These are serious statements,” Wheeler said. “If we are in a shooting and undeclared war certainly the American people and Congress are entitled to know it, “The Secretary of the Navy has refused to affirm or deny these oftprinted rumors. It is a sad commentary on our democratic form of government that it is necessary for Congress to conduct an investigation to determine whether we have begun shooting.” Soon after Wheeler introduced his resolution, Knox was addressing the 33d annual Governors’ Conference in Fore River. “The time to use our navy to clear the Atlantic of the German menace is at hand —again I say, now

|is the time to strike,” he said.

The United States must match ‘Britain's ‘tears, toil, sweat, and blood” if that is necessary to check Nazi Germany. “We cannot meet that challenge, we cannot discharge that responsibility by working five days a week and eight hours a day; by putting the needs and necessities of civilian comfort ahead of the hard necessities of national defense. We cannot

+|cling to any formula of ‘business

as usual’ and profits as usual.” Germany’s invesion of the Soviet Union provides a “God-given chance” for the United States to determine the outcome of the war, Knox declared. He said we must see to it that munitions piling up “undelivered on our docks” reach Britain. . Sees Hitler Defeat

“If while Hitler is assaulting Stalin,” he continued, “we can clear the path. across the Atlantic and deliver, safely, the weapons our factories are now producing, ultimate defeat for Hitler is certain. To show how vital it is that we make the Atlantic crossing safe, let me cite the figures. for losses. by sinking in the last five months ending March 31, 1941—2,198,000 tons. “There is only one end to this rate of sinking—victory for Hitler, which will give him ultimate domination over the world.” Senator Carl Hatch (D. N. M) said he felt that Knox was “airing

BERLIN, July 1 (U.

his views as a private citizen, not as Secretary of the Navy.” Rep. George Bender (R. O.) said “there’s no point in talking big unless you are ready to strike” and warned that this nation has been “woefully inadequate” in providing for defense.” Rep. Paul Shafer (R. Mich) felt “Knox has not learned one thing since becoming Secretary of the Navy.” Rep. Jesse Wolcott (R. Mich.) said that “in the absence of a statement from the White House repudiating the statement by Mr. Knox . . . we must assume that the policy of the Administration continues to draw us into war.” Senator Harold M. Burton (R. 0. said Knox was going “entirely too far” and added that “I cannot go along with him on this at all.”

Adams Old Fashioned

Senator Alva Adams (D. Colo.) said: “I have the old-fashioned idea that when we get into war, Con gress will declare it, not Frank Knox. I don’t think he represents the point of view of the President

Rep. Harold R. Knutson (R. Minn.) charged that “Secretary Knox is trying to blitzkrieg us into war.” Rep. Hamilton Fish (R. N. Y), a non-interventionist leader, asserted in a radio address last night that the war between Germany and Soviet Russia “definitely had decided” that the United States will not become involved in the current conflict. “Let the war makers gnash their teeth,” Fish said, “but the day Hitler went to war with Stalin, the American people decided to keep out of the rotten mess in Europe and to let the Nazis and the Communists fight it out to their h- rts’ content. If war is declared in the future, the President must, in an honest, honorable and Americanlike way submit the issue to the Congress where, after a great national debate, a war resolution will be voted up or down.” Fish tomorrow begins four weeks military training at Ft. Bragg, N. C.

500 SLAIN FOR AID T0 SOVIET 'CHUTISTS|

BUCHAREST, Rumania, June 30 (U. P.)—(Delayed)—The Rumanian Government announced today that 500 Communists had been executed in the Russian frontier region for aiding Soviet parachutists. It said that all persons would be shot, along with their families, who failed in future to denounce Russian agents or Fifth Columnists. (Budapest, reporting the 500 executions in the Iasi area on the Bessarabian frontier, said that the victims were “Jewish Communists.”) In a communique the Governmen; said: “The Soviets employ every means of sabotage, disorder and aggression behind the front. They have parachutists, spies, terrorists and other agents who contact = their local agents and the Jewish Communist population, for the purpose of organizing acts of aggression. “Future attempts on their part will be met without holt 1rercy. »

ROME, July 1 1. P.).—Russian parachute troops equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars terrorized the Rumanian town of Iasi (Jassy). and fought in the streets with Axis forces, the Iasi correspondent of the newspaper Messaggero reported today.

German forces driving into the Baltic States crossed the Duena River on a broad front in a drive on Riga after sm “bitter enemy counter-attacks,” the High Command said. Other reports said that Riga had been occupied and that the Germans were driving on toward the Estonian border with the Luftwaffe heavily bombing the retiring Russians. The High Command reported that the Russians suffered tremendous losses in men and materiel on all three main fronts, but especially on the Central Front, where the Red Army forces vainly battled to Break out of the Geral traps.

ARCTIC SLOW-UP

Pushed Back by German Drive Toward Murmansk, Says Communique.

MOSCOW, July 1 (U. P).—Russian and German armies are locked in a gigantic battle in the White Russian area between Minsk and Bobruisk, 90 miles to the southeast, Russia’s afternoon war communique said today. It was ‘said fighting, continued fiercely through the night as the Germans sought to break through to the east, It was admitted that the German and Finnish forces had made a slight advance toward the Russian Arctic base of Murmansk. The communique summed up front line developments as follows: FAR NORTH — German . forces pushed back Russians in the direction of Murmansk but were halted and sustained heavy losses.

Reds Counter Attack

BALTIC—Fresh German mobile troops were thrown into fighting in the Dvinsk (Lithuanian) sector but were heavily counter-attacked by ‘Russian airplanes. CENTRAL OR NORTH POLAND —Russian troops fought all night against enemy. mobile units, “resisting their attempts to break through” to the east in the Minsk and Bobruisk directions. SOUTH—German advances near Rovno in the Luck area were halted and the enemy tank spearhead thrust eastward toward the Ukraine was blasted by Soviet tank attacks. Fighting was reported still progressing in the Lwow sector, following entry of German forces into the town. In order to cope with the war situation, the Supreme Soviet vested all power in a defense committee headed by Josef V. Stalin, assisted by Foreign Minister Viacheslay Molotov, Marshal Klementi Voroshilov, L. P. Beria, Commisar for State Security, and Georgi M. Malenkov, Secretary General - of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. . Beria heads the NKVD, with full command over police.

Labor Mobilized

The committee immediately began mobilization of labor and transport in behalf of a supreme war effort. The decree naming a defense committee, issued through the Official News Agency, Tass, said: “In view of the state of emergency that has arisen, and with the object of the rapid mobilization of all forces of the peoples of the Soviet Union for resistance to the enemy who has perfidiously attacked our Fatherland, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union (Parliament), the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the

the Soviet Union (the Government) have found it necessary: “1. To form a State Defense Committee composed of Stalin (chairman), Molotov, (vice chairman), Voroshilov, Malenkov and Beria.

Moscow Has Alarm

“2. To concentrate the whole power of the state in the hands of the State Defense Committee. “3. To bind all citizens and all party members of the Soviet Communist Party, the young Communist League and military organs unreservedly to comply with the decisions and orders of the State Defense Committee.” : An indication of the scale which defense measures might assume was indicated yesterday when the

CITY JOINS DRIVE T0 COLLECT METAL

At the request of Office of Production Management officials in Washington, Mayor Sullivan today made arrangements for the collection of aluminum utensils throughout the city to help ease a national shortage of the metal. The Mayor appointed Paul IL. Gastineau, 12th District Legion Commander, as director of the aluminum collection which will begin July 21. The Mayor said that the Legion under Mr. Gastineau’s su- - | pervision would have full charge of collecting and storing the metal. Meanwhile, the Mayor conferred with Governor Schricker on the possibility of using the State Fair Grounds as an aluminum depot for Indianapolis and parts of Marion County which co-operate. In a telegram to the Mayor, Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia of New York City, Civilian Defense Director for the OPM, explained that the aluminum to be collected from voluntary contributions of kitchen utensils, golf clubs and other aluminum objects would not go directly into defense production, but would be put to secondary use to to free all available pure aluminum for airplane manu-

Russians Fail to Break Trap, Nazis Claim; Say Enemy Losses Tremendous on 3 Fronts

Many tanks, Rarities of motor trucks, and many enemy. batteries were silenced or destroyed. The High Command said 216 Russian planes had been ‘downed | in air battles, and 110 of these had been destroyed by the squadron of the ace, Lieut. Col. Werner Moelders. Moelders’s squadron, it was said, shot down 80 of about 100 Russian planes which, east of Minsk, attempted - to ' delay the German advance. Moelders himself was credited with his 82d air victory. Another squadron shot down 65 Russian planes, it was said, including an entire formaiton of 40 which attacked the Germans on the Dvina River Fron.
