WASHINGTON, July 30. - The Senate Military Committee today delayed final action on the Burke Wadsworth Compulsory M il t. ary Training Bill and ordered immediate bearings on the measure to author ize President Roosevelt to call for training of National Guard officers and Reserve Corps.
 Chairman Sheppard also said the committee has decided to informally consider the suggestion of Senator Warren R. Austin, Republican of Vermont, that registration of civil ians fer possible conscription be limited to men between 20 and 31 years of age.
 Senator Burton K Wheeler has infected a political note into the controversy by challenging Wendell l.. Willkie to state his stand cn con- scription.
 The Senate Military Committee meeting today is described as one of the bitterest in years over the defense controversy when three Re- publicans demanded that President Roosevelt make clear his view.

Third Term Boom Slow
 To Start at Democratic
 Convention, Then, Bang
Fly JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, July 30. Add now-it can -be-told stories on the Chicago cnvention:
 The number of times the Roose- velt boom failed to spark in those first few days of the convention was something that will haunt his managers in their nightmares for years to come-but it shouldn't.
 Let's start off with this. at the outset, the third term leaders claimed 900 delegates. The only question was when and how to start the stampede to give it all the necessary fire and drama
 The first big demonstration planned was when Mayor Edward J. Kelly of Chicago made his ad- dress. The Mayor got in his build- up for a big demonstration and what happened? Nothing.
 Why? Because all those hun dreds who were supposed to be in the galleries to start the tor nado of cheers hadn't been able to get tickets The tickets were in the hands of the National Com mittee. which was spelled James A. Farley. And, as Farley said over and over again, he was not going to permit any third-term stampede.

HAVANA, Cuba, July 30-Argen- tina is hedging on the important American Foreign Ministers agree ment on treatment of foreign pos sessions in the Western Hemisphere, by making a reservation to it's sig nature to the Act of Havana"
 Members of the delegation said the signatures must be approved fi- nally by their own government, all though they declare this is merely an academic question"
 The effect has resulted in the breaking down of the unanimity on the Americas policy in case foreign attempts to change the sovereignty of the possessions
 The reservation was made smooth ly and many delegates at first fail- ed to realize it's meaning. The Act of Havana" would virtually give all nations prior contest to operations upholding the Monroe Doctrine.

WASHINGTON-One of the U. S Army's official observers, just returned from London. brings op- timistic news regarding Britain's ability to withstand the Nazi blitz- krieg.
 He reports that the morale of the Royal Air Force is excellent that both British planes and pilots are better than the German, and that two or three British fighters sometimes go up after 20 Nazi bombers and drive them away. Nu- merically, of course, Germany still is far ahead of the British airplane force.
 What the Nazis have been doing SO far in their sporadic airplane flights over England is to look for Britains new and hidden air fields In Poland and Norway, the first thing the Nazis did was to bomb airports and the adjacent hangars Learning from this lesson, the Brit ish have now pushed old truck and automobiles onto their airports making them burial ground foI jallopies. Meanwhile, their real air ports are hidden.
 The Nazis have been sending scouting planes to find them. As far as the British can ascertain they have been unsuccessful.
 The Nazis also have been con- completely unsuccessful in their fifth column activities in England

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Blitht as a schoolboy on the way to tht old swimmin' hole, labor's Sidney Hillman sets out to do the impos- sible again as a member of the National Defense Commission.
 This time it's his job to get Am erica's idle men and idle plants together, and, when that's done, to fill the gaps still left with youths newly trained and disciplined for the national defense job ahead And if he's not swamped along the way, he's expected to help settle or prevent strikes.
 That's a big order.
 But Hillman's as confident as he was that day in 1910 when he led and won the seemingly hopeless strike in Chicago's open shop clothing industry.
 He's as confident as he was in 1914, when he led his little band of 1O5 delegates out of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, formed the Amalgamated Clothing Work CTS of America. As urbane as that day in 1883, when he accepted AFL's invitation to march the Amalgamated, now grown strong and powerful, back into the fold. And as unconcerned as he was more recently when AFL kicked him out again.

 Don't you feel out of your ele- ment in this white marble Fed eral Reserve Building?" I ask.
 He laughs.
 Not exactly; Julius Rosenwald once told me the Amalgamated's quarters in Chicago were as fine as his club. We have two banks, you know"
 Sidney Hillman's accent is defi- nitely old world His English is exact, grammar fair. He was born in Lithuania.
 His clothes throw you off. He's dressed like business man. may be a bit on the smart side. Sum- mer-cool pastel blue, white socks and shoes. With his gold-rimmed glasses, neatly parted hair, you might mistake him for Rotary Club president. You'd think him not a day over 40. The record shows he's 52.
 He's Fought Communism
 However confident Hillman may be, his jobs not easy.
 The mans working with labor movement whose house is divided against itself.
 He's dealing, too, with Army and Navy men whose everyday work leaves them indifferent to labor movements, and many of whom fear-off the record-that union la bor will insist on limiting appren- ticeships in key industries to pro- tect high wage scales, national de- fense or no national defense.
 Also watching Hillman's step and trying to oust him in favor of a military youth administrator, is Georgia's Congressman E. E. Cox and a bloc of other lawmakers They say Sidney Hillman' and

the sentence I hear everywhere.
The colonel passes then to another
subject. Nov, about the men. The
French Army is a defensive army,
an army which, paradoxically
speaking, prepares herself not for
war, but for peace. Each time a
war starts there is a surprise, Pc
riod of adaptation for the French
often a defeat. Having premedi-
tated war in all its details for a
precise date, known in advance,
having loved war and hoped for 1t,
the Germans are always ready for
it-materially and morally ready.
The French up to the last moment
hope for peace. They have to stand
the shock, the despair of having to
60 to war again. They have to pass
from a peaceful mood to war
mood. They have also to get ac-
customed to the new means of de-
struction. In the 1914 war the new
weapons were the automatic arms,
later on the toxic gas. This time
they are the mechanicized units
and the aviation used for mass at
tack. But now. the surprise is over.
Believe me, this war is only begin
ming"
Then reaching for a map where
the line of the front was very pre-
cisely indicated. he said: Now about
facts. Somebody said-I think it was
Napoleon-that the only victory is
to destroy the armed forces of the
enemy. The Germans have done
nothing of the sort. The French
Army is still there-all right, she is
little farther west, a little farther
south than we would like her to be-
but she is intact. In the north the
Allied forces have resisted magnifi-
Gently on the earth, on the sea, in
the air. The French soldiers have
changed lot in two weeks. I can
see it in my group Of planes, in my
squadron. A month ago these boys
were very young, little careless and
almost too daring. Now they are
men with an infeXible will, bitter
men, serious, hard-men determined
to fight to the last and to be the
strongest"
