Worden Milk Strike Is Flaring More Fiercely
Truck Drivers Local Plans to Picket City Hall; City Continues to Purchase From Concern Despite
 Union Protests

The Worden's dairy strike flared into public prominence again today as the Truck Drivers local which sponsored the walkout, announced plans for picketing of the city hall because of the city's continued pur- chaCes from the struck concern. At the same time, Rudolph Tata, busi- ness agent for the union, which is a unit of the International Brother hood of Teamsters and Chauffeurs, announced that suit is being filed against the dairy and its officers for alleged failure to return cash bonds of striking employees.
 MT. Tata said that efforts to have the city cancel its orders with R. F. Worden & Sons have been unsuccessful, and that the unions last recourse is to have the city hall picketed to bring the situation to public attention. The dairy, he charged, has increased its work week and working hours since the termination of the union contract, April 22. Members of several A. F. of L. unions will take part in the picketing, he said.
 Attorney Maurice Wrenn, the unions counsel, was today in- structed by MT. Tata to bring suit against the dairy. The union claims that cash bonds posted by striking employees, ranging in amount from $l00 to $250, have not been returned to them, though demands for pay ment have been made. MT. Tata charged that the company was

Britain, Italy Claim Biz Naval Victories
British Report
BY DAN CAMPBELL

United Press Stan COrreSpOnuentJ
 London, July 10.-(UP)-The Ad- miralty announced today that a great naval battle in the Mediter- ranean Sea has developed into a chase of Italian naval forces by the British.
 The first big fight for Mediter- ranean supremacy, an Admiralty communique said, had resulted in no casualties among British ships.

 The communicate was the second issues by the Admiralty on the Med- iterranean battle.

Total Air Force for Na- ton Will Consist of 35,.
 900 Planes NO MEN TO FIGHT
 IN EUROPEAN WARS Have Navy, Army to Meet Any Combined Fleet That
 Might Attack Us
BY RONALD V. VAN TINE United Press Staff Correspondent

NOANSSN A AASSS Sse%sA SVASfv
 Washington, July 10. (UP) = President Roosevelt asked Congress today for $4,848,171,957 to add 19,000 new fighting planes to the Army and Navy Air Corps to rush mechanization of the national defense forces. He accompanied his request with a pledge that the United States will not use its new arrna- ments aggressively and that United States troops will not again go overseas to fight.
 '"That we are opposed to war is known not only to every Amertcalls but to every government in the world" MT. Roosevelt said in a spe- cial message to Congress.
 we will not use our arms in 8 war of aggression; we will not send our men to take part in European wars. But we will repel aggression against the United States or the western hemisphere
 MT. Roosevelt did not provide to- tai figures but authoritative sources said his new request together with funds already voted would provide this country with a total air force of 35,0o0 planes-a big stride to- ward his ultimate goal of 50O00. Training Program MT. Roosevelt called attention to banding measures for compulsory military training and training of personnel for defense industries en- dorsing their principle.
 Tn this way" he said, i've can make certain that when this mod- ern material becomes available. 1t will be placed in the hands of troops trained, seasoned, and ready, and that replacement material can be guaranteed"
 The Presidents new message brought his appropriation and con- tract authorization requests to this session of congress to about SlO,- 100000, ,OOO, total entirely without precedent in the peace-time history of this country.
 If the s4,0oo, ,o0o.ooo long-range program for adding to American naval strength by 70 per cent were included, the overall total would approximate $l4.000, 900, 900. Objectives of Defense MT. Roosevelt outlined immediate objectives of the new defense pro- gram as follows:
 1. To carry forward the navy ex- pansion program designed to build up the navy to meet any possible combination of hostile naval forces.
 2. To obtain equipment for a land force of approximately l.200.- GOO men, though of course this total of men would not be in the army (Continued on Page 8

FRANCE WINDS
 UP AS REPUBLIC Old Napoleonic Nation Has
 Become Govt. Like to Italy, Germany
lBY United Pressl

The third republic, war-born grandchild of the French Revolu- tion and last champion in contsnen- tai Europe of liberty, equality, fra- ternity," dies today at Vichy. It ex- pires at the pleasant riverside wa tering place made fashionable by Napoleon II, upon the wreck of whose empire the third republic was founded in 1870.
 Germany, instrument of the third republics birth, was the instrument of its death 70 years later. Parliament, acting at the behest of a cabinet which had placed itself under the domination of Germany destroyed the third republic and was to replace it with a Fascist-like re- gime designed by the conquerors. The third republic was proclaimed September 4, 1870, two days aftel Napoleon III surrendered to the sol diers of Bismarck's Germany a Sedan.
 The principles enunciated in it! constitution of 1875 - the dignity and the rights of man - were those of the French Revolution 8l years before and which had been inse. curely enshrined in the first anc second republics.

 In one channel town German bombs narrow missed church, de- molished two houses and killed two persons. Three workers were report ed killed in southeast coast gar- den.
 In addition to German attacks on the southeast coast there were raids against the east and southwest coast and the Germans were believed to suffered many casualties, particu- larly in the main battle.
 Other German planes were be- lieved to have been shot down by British ground fire and RAF planes in the course of the day.
 Many persons saw the aerial fight of the southeast coast.
 Some eyewitnesses estimated that more than 100 German planes were involved in raids on England today.
 When the battle of the southeast coast began A bombers and an even stronger escort of fighters dived from the clouds directly over Q con- voy in the channel. This group of attackers was followed by a second wave of about equal strength.
 An ex-soldier described today's air battles over southeast England as fiercer than any fought over the western front during the World war.
 Great Sea Battle
 Great Britain today threw tremen- dous sea power into a fierce strug- gle to assure control of vital Medi- terranean sea lanes.
 Two British battle fleets steamed the narrow waters of the inland sea. One moved east from Gibraltar, the other plowed west from Alexandria and encountered an Italian fleet be- heved to comprise two battleships, many cruisers and escorting destroy

Germany Says France Is Converted Too Late
Must Pay for Her Mistakes, Crimes-German Press Voices Sentiment Hitler COnfers on
 Balkan Situation Today
BY JACK FLEISCHER United Press Staff Corresponden

Berlin, July 10-(UP)-The Ger man press significantly warned France today that her conversion to totalitarian principles had come too late to save her from the conse- quences of military defeat and that she must bear full responsibility for "her mistakes and crimes"
 The warnings made plain that France must not expect to obtain more beneficial terms from Ger many through establishment of the authoritarian regime now being formulated under the aegis of Mar shal Henri Philippe Petain at Vichy.
 The unanimity with which Ger man newspapers presented this viewpoint appeared to indicate a faithful reflection of the ofiicial German attitude.
 The comment of the Essener Na- tional zeitung. newspaper of Mar shal Hermann Goering. was typt- cal.
 France must bear the full re- eponsibility for its mistakes and crimes" the National Zeitung said Germany hes gained the dominant role in Europe. 4 France may exist beside her but not the France oi yesterday which has been defeated and which must be satisfled with the role assigned to her"

War Moves On Today's Board
BY J. w. T. MASON United Press War Expert

The reason why French warships were not sent to British ports before Marshal Petain's equalization is con- tained by inference among docu- ments purporting to have been cap tured in France and now issued in a new German White Book. The papers show that General Weygand believed the Allies could win the war only by a complete and decisive military victory, which he sought In the Near East. The inference fol- lows from this judgment of the French Generalissimo that once the French army collapsed the Allied naval power was considered useless for winning the war.
 The fundamental reason for not handing over the French fleet to the British thus seems to have been the same as the reason why the French government did not move to North Africa and continue the war from a colonial base instead of sur rendering. The two negative actions were taken because the French leaders considered further resist ance to Germany would be hope less.
 Weygand, Petain Dazed
 Weygand and Petain apparently had become dazed by the over- whelming defeat of their armies, Judging the position solely from their military standpoint they were awed into a belief in the invinci- bility of the German war machine which so easily conqured their own troops. They seem to have become convinced that with the French army out of the war there was no hope for the British Empire.
 Thus the disposition of the (Continued on Page 9
