MAxS RAIDMAN
 GIVEN 60 DAYS
New York Salesman Found Guilty of Getting Goods
 Under False Pretenses

Max Saul Raidman. 47, of 2345 Broadway, New York, was sentenced to serve 60 days at the New Haven county jail by Judge Theobald E. Conway today. The judge found him guilty earlier this week of obtaining goods by false pretenses at Grieve, Bisset 6 Hollands store.
 The case was containued for sen- tence, pending investigation of Raid mans New York record. This showed that Raidman was convicted of grand larceny in 1927 and sentenced to serve one year in @ federal peni- tentiary, but the sentence was sus- pended. In 1930, Raidman was fined S25 on a charge of petit larceny.
 The magazine salesman, who told Judge Conway earlier this week that he had no record and also that he would be able to procure character references from Bishop William Manning and Ribbi Stephen Wise, said nothing today.

Britons Have Formed Defense Volunteers"
1 500, ,OOO British Citizens of All Classes Are Now Ready to Fill in on Army's Plan to Stop
 Nazi Invasion
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR. United Press Staff Correspondent)

BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR. United Press Staff Correspondent)
 With the British forces of the northern command, August 3 = (UP)-A million and a half Britons, members of the new local defense volunteers are now ready to- fill tr the chinks in the army'S country wide defense against a German in- vasion attempt, and a four day tour of defense areas leads one to believe that the men and women of the en- tire country are ready to back up the volunteers.
 Bakers and blacksmiths, lawyers and local tradesmen, have combined with the British army to honeycomb the vital industrial area through which I and other correspondents have gone with system of strong points that would be nasty obsta- cles to any enemy which succeeded in scaling the seacoast cliffs or wading up to the beaches.
 The job of defending the coEst- line as well as harborS and airports against direct attack by infantry or air-borne troops falls to the army. But the chinks in between - the purple moorlands, where the little black-faced sheep graze; the rich low farmlands and many an iso- lated factory-belong to the local defense volunteers the John Smiths of the MiddletownS in any Ameri- can state who work all day and turn out every so often throughout the night to patrol or to keep a silent lonely watch in some newly made pillbox.
 They Are Mystery
 The 'LDV's" broke on the country and broke most on themselves several weeks ago in the form of wireless announcement that such force would be formed. There have been lots of wise cracks about them and nobody you talk to in London is very clear as to just what they are about, beyond drills, rifle practice and the wearing of modi- fled battle dress and arm bands. But during my four day tour I have discovered how big a role the LDV's would play if a frontal at- tack on Britain developed.
 According to one officer there are many thousand of these modern minute men in the east and west districts of Yorkshire alone Gin the

FRENCH COvT.TO
 HAVE NEW HOME
Will Move to Versailles, Where Bourbon Kings
 Reigned 1927 to l7S9
BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent

vichy, France, Aug. 3-(UP)- France's authoritarian government may move soon to the site of her absolute monarchy-the magnifi- cent palace of Versailles where the Bourbon kings ruled with elaborate pomp from 1927 until 1789.
 Negotiations with the Germans are now in progress to make the beautiful traditional national capi- tai an open city, and Senator Henri Have, newly appointed ambassador to the United States, said today the government might move there be- fore he takes up his post in Sep tember. He is mayor of the city which has a population of 60,000.
 Have said that Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, chief of state, might be installed in one wing of the palace along with the army, navy and air ministries and the for eign office. The diplomatic corps probably would live in the vicinity. All other ministries would be loca- ted in Paris.
 Petain's Quarters
 Petain probably would take up residence in the south wing, where the gallery of the republic and the first empire is located. Also there is huge room where the chamber of deputies met from 1876 until 1879, and where parliament since has sat at long intervals as 8 na- tional assembly to revise the con- Stitution voted in 1875 and every seven years, to elect the president

 ON CONSCRIPTION

 tary Enlistment
BY LOUIS J. SCHAEFLE Limited Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, August 3. - (UP)- Leaders of the Senate anti-cnscrip- ton bloc planned today to offer the one-year voluntary enlistment plan of former Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring as an amend ment to the pending Burke Wads- worth compulsory military training bill.
 Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Dem- ocrat, Montana, said he planned to discuss with other opponents the advisability of offering the plan as a rider" to legislation authorizing President Roosevelt to mobilize the National Guard.
 At any rate, you can be sure that 1t will be offered as an amendment to the compulsory training bill when it reaches the Senate floor," he said.
 The Senate Military Affairs Com mittee is to vote on the conScription bill Monday, the day the. National Guard bill goes before the Senate.
 Woodring who resigned from the cabinet to make room for Henry L, StimSon, & Republican, denounced compulsory training as "smacking of totalitarianism" and suggested that the Senate should obtain from the army chief of staff a written statement "that the voluntary Sys- tenn has completely broken down before elnbarking on 8 conscriptton program.
 He recommended increasing the pay of privates from $2l to $30 a month = the same amount paid to CCC enrollees = to encourage en- listments and that the army, il necessary, accept voluntary enlist ments for a one-year period instead of three.
 Wrote Vandenberg
 Woodring expressed his views ir a letter to Sen. Arthur H. Vanden- berg, R., Mich, who had asked for them. Vandenberg published them after President Roosevelt had urfAualifiedly asserted that selec- tive draft was essential to ade- uuate national defense"
 Sen. Sherman Minton, D., Ind, ar administration spokesman on ths military affairs committee, angrily tossed a copy of Woodring's letter to the floor and shouted to report
