time, the Administrator said. - Approximately 500 supervisory and administrative employees have been taken off WPA by the elimination of the district office at South Bend and the redivision of the State to four instead of five -districts. $3 : Train Relief Workers Mr. Jennings said a new training division has been created to speed relief workers back to private em“ployment. Approximately 1200 workers will receive instruction in industrial subjects in a four to sixweeks course. The Administrator met with district officials here yesterday. He told them that changes in the Relief Law for the next fiscal year required a 20 day layoff to find private employment after 18 months of -.continfious work on WPA instead of 30 days, the previous layoff period. - Another change, he said, will give veterans of the .first World War preference for ‘jobs, although the neéd of others may be greater.. In the past veterans were given preference only if others more needy had not applied. --- Ralston Heads District

Under the reorganization, the Lafayette and Ft. Wayne districts will absorb the South Bend district. Vernon M. Ralston, former South Bend district director, will become diffctor of operations at Lafayette. Because of the severe Congressional relief cut, Mr. Jennings said, a-humber of projects throughout the State were forced to close. However, some of these might be reopened if local officials can show that the elimination of the projects caused undue hardship to the com-

‘WASHINGTON, July 18 (U.P.).— President Roosevelt today aligned the United States in ‘open economic

warfare against the Axis Powers in which he staked the hemispheric

“good neighbor” policy on the cooperation of the other 20 American republics. Administration officials, who have developed the “good neighbor” pol-

icy, were plainly anxious as they awaited the reaction of - the. -other Americas to this Govérnment’s new economic move ‘ngainst. Germany and Italy. Acting under his emergency powers and in behalf of .national defense, Mr. Roosevelt blacklisted 1800 individuals and firms in the other Americas. Declaring. them guilty of aiding the Axis Powers, he severed their commercial contact with the Unted States and froze their assets and credits here. At his press conference today, Mr. Roosevelt said that the blacklist will be fluid and that additions and deletions will be made from time to time.

Roosevelt Blacklist Tests ‘Good Neighbor’ Policy

many years and employed thousands from those countries. The Administration’s action against them as enemies of the democracies subjected the “good enighbor” economy to its most severe test. Administration moves for months

have anticipated the development, however. Extension of credits to Latin America, huge purchases of strategic materials, assistance under the lend-lease program, and similar moves have been designed to cushioh the effect which" might have been anticipated as a result of such a serious blow at major companies operating -in the other hemispheric republics. . An informal blacklist of firms charged with openly aiding the Axis or sympathizing with its objectives has been in effect for months. Major American export ‘companies, co: with the State, Commerce and Treasury Departments, have reduced relations with such companies to an extent where official sources here estimated that proAxis firms in Latin America had lost more than 1000 accounts in this country. Formal declaration of the blacklist, however, raises problems of Inter-American co-operation which

were shunted into the -background |}

as long as the proscription maintained on an informal basis. Undersecretary “of State Sumner Welles

§| recognized those problems in ad-

dressing a plenary session of the Pan-American Union shortly after Mr. Roosevelt had proclaimed: the blacklist.

Blacklisted companies and indi-

viduals are proscribed from .com-

mereial dealings with this country, but Mr. Welles described an emer-

|gency system established to operate

inter-American commerce outside these companies as near as possible to normal conditions. The procedure, Mr. Welles said, provides. that Latin American governments submit quarterly or lists for longer durations of their estimated needs of materials that can be exported from the United States only under license. These lists would include only the needs of the other. ‘20 American governments themselves or their subsidized corporations. He suggested that the republics also name a single agency to deal with the State ent here and to designate priorities for various orders.

Moscow in this attempt, they may never be able ‘to do so and a stalemate would result. If they do break through, it. would then be mostly a matter of time and of how long the Russians would be willing and able to resist, deeper and deeper into their territory: Military opinion in London fends to the belief that the Germans will succeed in crashing the gates of Western Russia, probably - taking Leningrad and Moscow as well as Kiev and the Ukraine, What London fervently hopes .is that the Russians will continue to hold out, retreating to the Urals if necessary to present a constant threat to the German flank. That might prolong the campaign into autumn and drain German resources and striking power to such an extent that any attempt to invade Britain would be out/ of ‘the

By United Press War Experts The German assault on Russia now has reached the peak of its fury on the three main sectors of an 1800-mile:front—north, central and south. ‘The Germans apparently are in the ascendancy and are carrying the wari to ‘the enemy. : Russian. counter-attacks do not indicate any turning of the tide, but significantly show the extent of Russian resistance and give no hint. that the Red Armies are anywhere near the point of

question before next year. The British Intelligence Servide does not believe that Germany has thrown all her reserves into this fight, but still has a considerable backlog to guard her Western European front. The British on the other hand are inclined to credit the German assertion ‘that Russia has staked all her reserve power in a win-or-lose effort. : The British attitude is not so much, can Russia beat Germany, as how long can Russia hold out? The longer the Russian campaign takes,

mans can regroup their forces and organize them for a blow elsewhere.
