Relief Bill Reported, -,
Provides for T.. T.. T..
Training in Defense
Sl,073,58 900 Measure
Reaches Senate, With
Port Of Cut Restored

n-combatant military training
for the 300 1000 youths in the Civilian
Conservation Corps was approved
by the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee today in reporting out the
$l,073 ,584 900 relief bill for the COM
ing fiscal year.
Another national defense angle
was brought into the relief picture
by an amendment making s25. .000.-
900 of the w. P. A. fund available
for expediting projects recommend
ed by the War and Navy Depart
ments. such as airport facilities.
On such projects the requirement
of Is per cent sponsor contribu-
ton by local authorities would be
waived.
The Senate committee approved
without change the s975 $4,000 w.
P. A. fund. with discretion given the
President to use all of this amount
within eight months, instead of
stretching it for year, if conditions
justify it.
The Senate committee made a
$40 100000 reduction in the House
fund for the Farm Security Admin
istration. The subcommittee that
drafted the bill yesterday recon-
mended a $56,OOOOOO cut in this
item, but the fun committee re-
stored $4,000 900 today.
To continue the work of the
Office of Government Reports, the
Senate committee allowed $330,0O0
This was one of three agencies
threatened with abolition by action
of the House earlier in the session.
Senate leaders probably will call
up the relief bill for debate tomor-
row.

Massive Offensive

PARIS, June 5 (P).-Nearly two
million men were engaged tonight
In great new battle of the Somme
with the German divisions pressing
q massive offensive toward the lower
Seine and Paris.
Without so much as a breathing
epell from their conquest of the
north, the Germans struck at dawn
Dive bombers and heavy artillery
smashed into the massed French
infantry along 125 miles of the new
Somme-Aisne line, and, especially
in the rectangle formed by the
French cities of La Fere, Laon,
Anizy-Le-Chateau and Chauny.
The French stand virtually alone
on the line, although there are some
British divisions there
Allied sources say effective help
cannot be forthcoming from Britain
until British industry can replace
the vast stores of supplies and war
equipment lost in the Flanders
disaster
Soon after the thunder of the
dive bombers and the German
artillery had reached crescendo,
the German infantry swarmed into
the attack, charging in great gray
waves.
Authorized sources said the French
we're holding everywhere against the
German offensive on the Somme and
Aisne front with the exception of a
few points where they may fall back
to more favorable positions.
This operation will be nothing to
worry about" the same sources
stated.
Nearly 100000 men were engaged
In this new battle of the Somme
with the German divisions pressing
massively on the lower Seine and
Paris.
Military sources in London said
certain armored vehicles" of the
German Army are on both sides
of Amiens, although not very close
to the French-held town itself.
The same source said certain Ger
man elements were. south of the
Somme, but not enough of them tt
for ma bridgehead for an invading

| LONDON, June 5.-Soviet Russian
circles in London declared today
| that the Allies interests in the Black
Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean
parallel Russia's, but they empha-
! sized Russian determination to re-
main neutral in the European war
A British source intimated a hope
that Russian interest in the Near
East and improvement of British
Russian relations might have de-
terrert effect on any Italian plan
to enter the war.
Nevertheless the British still re-
garded italian entry as a matter of
time.
A Soviet source said Russia has
no intention of being thrust onto
one side or the other in the war
He indicated that Russia's policy
would continue TO emphasize in
ternal affairs, but that the U. S. S. r.
is keeping alert against any en-
croachment on any of its interests
by one power or another.
r. A. Butler, British undersecretary
for foreign affairs, told the House of
Commons that it appeared from an
| official Russian communique that
the appointment of Sir Stafford
Cripps as new British Ambassad dor
to Moscow had been accepted by the
Kremlin. although formal notice had
not yet been received.
Mr.. Butler left unanswered a
question from the House as to
whether Sir Stafford would deal
with the many outstanding ques-
tions' with the Soviet government.
Doubt Reds Drop Reich.
Informed quarters doubted that
Russia's acceptance of Cripps sig
nif1ed any intention to drop her
partnership with Germany.
Russian circles limited that there
is at least a good possibility of
diplomatic cooperation between the
Kremlin and the Allies in the Near
East.
Mr.. Butler told Commons that the
whole British nation was glad that
Russia had accepted Cripps as the
new Ambassador.
Replying to question as to
whether the dispatching of Sir
Stafford was not first intended for
trade talks. the undersecretary said
the appointment as Ambassador al
ways was intended to be clear and
concise"

bonne, former French resident-gen-
eral in Tunisia and Ambassador to
Republican Spain, as Ambassador

in improving Soviet-Allied rela-
tions
Evidence of Amity Demanded.
A Russian source said, however,
that Britain must show by deeds
as we'll as words an honest desire
for friendship with Russia"

abandoned their vehicles in panicky
flight"
"One bomb" it added, "fell be-
