BORDEAUX, France, June 20-R)
The French waited in despair to-
night for the return of their snow
white plane of truce bringing Adolf
Hitler's peace terms, and heard from
their old marshal and premier that
they must take their beating and
learn their lesson from it.
Hitler's word, on which the French
will decide for or against an armistice
and then peace, is expected during
the night.
The French government still was
here this evening (although reports
via London and San Sebastian, Spain,
said it had decided to leave to spare
Bordeaux a repetition of last nights
heavy bombing and might go to
Biarritz, on the Bay of Biscay).

United States Is'Grave-

WASHINGTON, June 20 49,
comprehensive draft bill to require
more than 40, 1000, 900 men to regis
ter for possible military service
was submitted to the senate today
by Senator Burke D-Neb).
The measure would require all
men between 10 and IS to register.
Those between q and As could be
called for duty in the established
army and navy forces. The presi-
dent would determine how many
would be used for defense, re-
gardless of whether the nation was
at war, and that number would
be selected by lot.
Home Defense Units
Men in the age groups between
IS and 81 and between As and IS
would be called only for service
in home defense units near their
homes.
One provision of the measure
declared that the country was
''gravely threatened, and that to
insure the independence and free
dom of the people it is imperative
that immediate measures be taken
to mobilize the nations strength"
The military training camps as

selected for active military service
would be required to undergo eight
months training. After completion
of training, a man would be a
member of the enlisted reserve
corps for 10 years, or until he
reached As.
The legislation, which would be-

would provide for payment OF So

those who took the eight-months'
training course.

pointed Henry l.. Stimson and Col.
Frank Knox, republican advocates
of unstinted material assistance tu
to the Allies, to be secretary of war
and secretary of the navy respec-

Congress members who have been
demanding more aloofness from Eu-

administration men issued denials
and interpreted the appointments as
a to sing 'partisanship" in an
hour of crisis.
Answers Critics
Apparently taking cognizance of
the criticism, MI. Roosevelt tonight
issued a statement saying

sentiment of the nation for national
solidarity in time of world crisis and
in behalf of national defense and
nothing else"

The republican national commit.
tee formally and officially read
Col. Frank Knox and Henry l..
Stimson out of the party today for
accepting places in President
Roosevelt's cabinet.
The party leaders enthusiastical-

man John D. M. Hamilton that the
two former party stalwarts-Knox,
the 1886 vice presidential nominee
and Stimson, secretary of state I'M

Assailed by Hamilton
Both men," Hamilton contin'
ued, when the uproar of applause
had subsidized, 'have long desired
to intervene in the affairs of Eur
ope and the democratic party now
becomes the war party and we
may accept that issue at its face
value"
Then, unanimously, the commit

which Hamilton had issued after
consulting important party figures
both here and in Washington. 1t
said that las members of tn e
