MEMS SOULSARE
 AGAIN ON TRIAL
President Calls Americans To Rededicate Selves
 On July 4th

Washington, June 26.--(Up)- President Roosevelt today compared AInerica's present crisis with the trying days of i776 and called upon Americans to rededieate themselves on July { to the basic principles enunciated in the Declaration of h. dependence.
 "The approach of Independence day thls year will kindle In all American hearts an appreciation of the dark days that preceded and followed July {, i77e," he said ia A statement. "Those were the times that tried mems souls even aS are these times in another crisis in American life.
 But these days are also days Of hope and as the birthday of Ameri- can independence draws near 1t is altogether fitting that we should TO. dedicate ourselves to defend and perpetuate those inalienable rights which found true expression In the immortal declaration. Those words never had c deeper or more solemn meaning for America than they have in this hour of anxiety and peril.
 "The Fourth of July has always been Q happy festival, c day of Joy and exaltation in which all Ameri. cans have caught something of the spirit of liberty which the fathers of the republic proclaimed to all the world on that mid-Summre day In Philadelphia in i77e. It has been essentially q home festival.
 T am glad, therefore, to learn that the office of civilian defense Is to lead the nation this year In Q grand rededication to liberty on the Fourth of July. I commend this celebration to Americans every- where to the end that In this solemn commemorate we may find re- newed faith In the blessings which are ours because of the struggle and sacrifice, the courage and forti- tude and vision of those who made this nation reality"

 Through research, Williams said, the American petroleum industry already Is producing a l00-octane gasoline that sells for l7 cents Q gallon as compared with Its cost of Sl0 a gallon 10 years ago,
 He said gasoline stocks now arc eight times as large as in 1917, lu. hricating oils twice as large and fuel oiiS 10 times as great.
 "The United States, in large part led by industrial research, he said, "is situated and equipped te become the oil arsenal for the world for the democratic way of living"
