Exporting Bill
Signed bYF.R.
ASHIN N-President

ASHIN N-President
Roosevelt late Tuesday signed a
bill for control of exports of ma
terials and machinery necessary
for national defense. and then is
sued a proclamation putting it into
effect.
The export control applies to
such basic materials as wool. cot
ton linters, silk rubber, hides, tin
as well as a long list of less
widely used items needed for
defense.
Under the new law and procla-
nation, licenses must be obtained
for export of strategic materials
as well as semi-finished products
and machine tools in which actual
or prospective shortages might
exist in light Of the national de-
tense program.
Mr.. Roosevelt differentiated
between an embargo and a
licensing system. The new
law and proclamation. he said,
do not represent an embargo,
but set up a system whereby
all such exports must be
licensed by the federal gov
eminent before they can leave
the shores of this country.
1t appeared that Mr.. Roosevelt
was setting up system whereby
he could control exports with the
effectiveness of an embargo with
out encountering the difficulties
involved in an embargo's inflexi-
bility.
He said that he has named
Lieut. Col Russell L. Maxwell ad-
ministrator in charge of export
control to regulate export of these
strategic materials. semi-finished
products and machine tools from
the continental United States.

Cubs Grab Second Straight
Victory Behind Good

CHICAGO, June 5.-LR-Chica-
COS Cubs grabbed their second
straight victory from the Phila-
delphia Phils today, 8 to 2, behind
the combined efforts Of Outfielder
Dominic Dallessandro ara Pitcher
Larry French.
Dallessandro, who hasn't been
able to find his hitting stride all
spring, drove in all Chicago's runs
by doubling with the bases loaded
in the third inning. French, who
was knocked from the box in his
last three starts and has complain
ed OF an ailing shoulder, weathered
early Phil threats, then retired the
final IA enemy batters to face him
-four of them by s~trikeouts.
Stan Hacks scratch hit, Bobby
Bragan's muff of a thrown ball
on an attempted force play and
an intentional base on balls loaded
the bases for Dallessandro and the
blow that gave French the decision
over Hugh Mulcahy.
The Phils outhit the Cubs nine
to six, including Wally Berger's
homer in the fourth. But although
they punched their hits in four
consecutive innings from the Sec
ond through the fifth and totalled
IA bases, the best they could do
against French was two runs. It
was French's sixth victory, against

Great Battle
Along a 20O-mile front from Alb
beville near the English Channel
to Longwy at the top Of the Magi-
not line, the German and the
French fought a battle which, Adolf
Hitler told his legions, would be
the greatest of all time"
lie Havre, important sea link
with Britain, appeared the first
target-with Paris, 'the heart of
France" the final objective.
Authorized sources said the Ger
man right wing was surging on
"the widest front" southwest from
Abbeville and Amiens toward the
Seine mouth and Rouen, Is miles
upstream toward Paris.
This drive is intended to split
Britain and France and "set up
additional bases" for a blow at
England.
The harbor at lie Havre and
French troops concentrated south
of Abbeville were bombed heavily
to clear the way.
Eastward along the Somme-Aisne
river front, massed German troops
pressed forward in the blow de-
signed to break the French army
and force the third republic to
bow to the German goal of a new
Europe.
Sending New Troops
Hitler, the corporal who became
the first soldier of the Reich"
told his people he was sending
thousands of new troops up for a
baptism of fire on the French front.
"We will resume the march," he
declared, and predicted it would
end in a historic lesson for the
Allies-"the bloom of a new and
better world"
