made an irregular decline today with
volume continuing at the recent
light rate. Bonds we're narrowly
mixed, wheat was about steady,
cotton gained several points, and
rubber and hides declined.
American Telephone at its low
of 1853 la was of nearly 2 points
and declines Of a point and more
were noted in Allied Chemical,
American Airlines, Bethlehem Steel,
Douglas Aircraft, Inland Steel, In
gersoll Rand, Philip Morris and
Norfolk g. Western. The latter was
down 8 Ia points.
Best gamers as group were pre-
ferred utilities. Electric power issues
had gains ranging to 2 points and
American Power to more than q
point. International Harvester
Jumped z points on one sale. Cen
eral Motors preferred and General
American Transportation gained
more than a point each.
Steel shares and aircrafts were
easier but toward the close they
were somewhat better. A factor in
this Improvement was President
Roosevelt,s request for an addition
al $4,S48,171 ,957 for the defense pro-
gram.
Orders are expected to develop
on O larger scale shortly for the
defense program. In this connec-
ton, Iron Age, which predicted ca

the European hostilities might bring
only a temporary lull in the steel

Strikes at "Naggers"
Mr.. Roosevelt strongly defended
his conduct OF the drive to rearm
America and emphatically denied
assertions that America Is now in
capable OF defenSe.
1.-THE apologists for despotism and
those who aid them by whispering
defeatism or appeasement," the
President declared, assert that be-
cause we have not devoted our full
energies to arms and to preparation
for war that we are now incapable
of defense. I refute that imputation.
LET no man In this country or
anywhere else believe that because
we in America still cherish freedom
of religion, of speech, of assembly, OF
the press:-that because we main
tain our free democratic political in
situations by which the nation after
full discussion and debate, chooses
its representatives and leaders for
itself-let no man here or elsewhere
believe that we are weak"
Actual Expenditures
The president broke down his $4,-
848,l71, 957 request into an actual
cash expenditure of $2,16l, AL 1851.
He estimated this figure would COW
err actual disbursements from the
treasury for the supplemental de-
Tense program between today and
July !, l941.
On top of this actual expenditure,
he asked $2,6S6, 100000 FOR contract
horizations-which do not re-
quire immediate appropriations but
will permit the army and navy to
place contracts for material and
ordnance Immediately.
The president called upon the
whole nation to support the pro-
gram as the cost of maintaining the
freedom of its institutions.

BANDIT HELD in
$4,000 BONDS

New Haven, Conn.,, July l0.-(UP)
One bandit was killed, another
captured, and two others were at
large after a wild automobile chase
by police following grocery store
holdup early today. The slain man
was identified as George Smith, New
Haven, who police said had a police
record. The captured bandit was
Thomas Payne, New Haven, also Of
Boston, Mass, who also was said to
have a record. A police cruiser hap
pened to go by Edward S. Sabba-
tinos grocery store just as the BAH
dts dashed from the store with an
undetermined sum of money.
With Sabbatino on the running
board, the officers chased the BAN
dit car for 20 minutes through city
streets, often at more than go
miles an hour. Police kept firing at
the fleeing machine. Finally, 1t
stopped, and its occupants started
to run. Smith was shot down, and
Payne was captured. Police said
they were looking for two others.
Smith, wounded in the stomach, died
at st. Raphael's hospital shortly
afer. Sabbatino fell off the police
car during the chase, and suffered
an arm injury.
Payne was held in $4,000 bond
on two counts of assault with intent
to murder and another count Of
robbery with violence. His case was
continued in city court until July 10.

defense of the country. This nation
through sacrifice and work and
work and unity proposes to remain
free"
Declaring the European war has
taught that partial defense Is in
adequate defense" Mr.. Roosevelt
said that "if the United States is to
have any defense, 1t must have to-
tai defense"
Our plans for national security,
therefore, should cover total de-
fense," he said. II believe that the
people of this country are willing
to make any sacrifice to attain that
end"
Greatest War Machine In World.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that America
untold industrial resources and its
genius In the art of mass production
can create the greatest defensive
war machine that humanity has
ever known.
THE United States is the greatest
industrial nation in the world" he
said. ITS people, as workers and
as business men. have proved that
they can unite in the national in
terest and that they can bring to-
gether the greatest assembly OF hui
man skills, of mechanical produce
ton, and OF national resources, ever
known in any nation"
Surveying the course of war in the
world at large, Mr.. Roosevelt said
the threats from abroad to the
American way Of life are increasing
almost from day to day.
1.-THE people and their representa-
tives In the Congress know that the
threats to our liberties, the threats
to our security, the threats against
our way of life, the threats to our
institution of religion, of democracy,
and OF international good faith,
have increased in number and grav-
ity from month to month, from
week to week, and almost from day
to day" said the President.
Ready To Meet Threats
1--WE fully understand the threat
of the new enslavement in which
men may not speak, may not lis
ten, may not talk. AS these threats
become more numerous and their
dire meaning more clear, 1t deepens
the determination of the American
people to meet them with wholly
adequate defense.
1--WE have seen nation after nation
some of them weakened by treach-
cry from within, succumb to the
force of the aggressor. We see great
nations still CALAMITY fighting
against aggression, encouraged by
high hope of ultimate victory"
The Presidents new request
means that the army and navy will
have a total of about $4,000 planes.
The army air corps expansion pro-
gram begun more than a year ago
provided for $500 aircraft. Congress
this year already has appropriated
for 4,091 more. These include 1900
trainers, 200 four-engined heavy
bombers and hundreds of pursuit
and other combat ships. BY adding
the 1000 asked by Mr.. Roosevelt, the
army's air power will be swelled to
24,591.
The navy has about 2,100 on hand,
2,10O on order and already has
money for 1900. With the 1000 asked
by Mr.. Roosevelt today the navy will
have total of 10000
