ATTEMPTED Assault Case

A negro man, whose name was not
revealed, was still being held in Jail
here last night in connection with
the attempted criminal assault of a

as the man who broke into a home
on South Eighth street and attempt
ed to assault criminally a middle
aged white woman as she lay in bed.
The woman told police that she
was awakened early in the morn
ing by a negro standing over her
bed. The negro first asked for
money and or being told that there
was none in the house, he attempt
ed to take hold of her, she said.
She said her screams awakened

gro a out of a back door when he

British Troops In Northern
Ireland Ready For Nazi Blow

Fires security force has not yet
been given rifles. Sources close to
the present Irish republican army
group say it is because the force
is honey-combed with IRA extrem-
lists itching to get guns. 1t is also
believed there are several hundred
of the 1000 active IRA men in the
regular army.
IRA extremists both in Fire
and Ulster seek to stir up enough
trouble to make the Dublin gov
eminent press Britain for imme-
date union of the six northern
counties to Fire.
The Ulster government, taking
drastic wartime measures, has in
termed 300 extremists without trial
for the duration of the war.
Fire maintains publicly it's deter
mination to stay neutral. Dublin
sources said that if the English
push in from the north in anticipa-
ton of a German thrust, the Irish
army will fight the British.
They probably will put up a mere
show of force, however, these sour
e said, before yielding. But if the
Germans try to land the Irish will
make a real fight. 3

ROOSEVELT URGES
PROP FOR TRADING
Wants Capital And Lending
Power Of E~xport-Import
Bank Increased

WASHINGTON, July %. H.
President Roosevelt asked congress
today to provide a $500, 0OO, 600 prop
for the falling, war-distressed Tor
eign trade of all the American ma
tons.
He requested that the capital and
lending power of the export-lmport
bank be increased by that amount
SO that it might "be Of greater as
~sistance to our neighbors south OF
the Rio Grande, including hnanc-
ing the handling and orderly mar
keting of some part OF their sur
pluses."
UNLESS exporting countries r
able to assist their nationals, they
will be forced to bargain as pest
they can," he said. s
The President also asked tn
"some of the restrictions" on n
banks operations be removed. IN
this connection, he reminded con-
e that the state, treasury, agri-
culture and commerce depart
ments and the RFC were repre-
sented on the banks board and
said that the directors should
have a free hand as to the pur-
poses for which loans are authorlz-
ed and the terms and conditions
upon which they are made"
Bills to carry out Mr.. Roose-
velt's recommendations were intro
duced by Senator Glass O-Va), on
behalf of Chairman Wagner of the
senate banking committee, and by
Chairman Steagall DALAI OF the
house banking committee.
Their bills would remove restrlc-
tons on loans to countries In the
western hemisphere. Chief existing
restrictions are:
l. Loans must be for the specific
purpose of stimulating trade with
the United States.
2. No more than $40, 600, 900 may
be lent to any one country.
3. Loans must be in connection
with purchases of strictly peace
time goods, and not articles capa-
