cent of men of army age being physi-
cally unfit for military service. The
Federal Government would pay for
medical and dental treatment of those
men certified by local boards as sub
ject to health improvement.

cannot tell until the final exam if
they will be accepted.
OPM announced 1914 military air.
craft were delivered during Septem-
ber-a new monthly record. The War
Department announced it will allow
Army aviation cadets 80 hours credit

time necessary in the Army to win
wings. Mimic air raids began along
the East coast from Boston to Savan-
nah to test ability of civilian spoilers
and their communication system.
The Red Cross announced a pro-
gram to instruct 100000 American

ia, will conduct the program.

Navy Secretary Knox told the 30th
National Safety Congress in Chicago
killed or injured worker is as much
loss to defense as wounded soldier
because 1--WE have no time to train re-
placement workers." He said time
lost through injuries last year would
have built As battleships, $4,000 fight
er planes or $4,000 heavy bombers.
OPM Director Knudsen, speaking
in New York, said despite tremendous
increases in British and American
production the Nazis will continue to
hold their lead in certain important
war items "for long time unless we
step up our present pace" OPM
Chief Statistician May said in New
York radio speech that the u. S. is
devoting only Is percent of its re-
sources 20 defense while Canada and
Great Britain are devoting so percent
close to the absolute maximum. Mr..
Nav said to put U. S. production on
a plane with Britain's means drastic
diversion of materials, man-power
and facilities from civilian to mill
tary uses. He said, for example, auto
production would have to be cut from
10000 to 1000 cars week.
President Roosevelt told the 18th
National Foreign Trade Convention
in New York that equality of treat
ment and mutual benefit to all ma
tons could be the only basis for post
war commercial relations if peace is
to be enduring. Under Secretary OF
State Welles told the convention that
trade agreements similar to those
made before the war by the U. S
would be one of the postwar econom
ic tools. Under Secretary of Com
merce Chatfield- Taylor told TIT
group 1--WE must not repeat the mis-
take of Versailles, of stressing ter
ritorial and political adjustments an
asking little provision for the basis o
sound trade and economic reconstruc
tion." He said England and the U. S

PRESIDENT ASKS
FOR REPEAL OF
NEUTRALITY ACT

Stating 1--WE will not let Hitler pre-
scribe the waters Of the world on
which our ships may travel. :" the
President asked Congress to repeal
Section 6 of the Neutrality Act which
prohibits arming of American mer-
chant ships and to examine other
phases of the law. The President said
this action ais a matter of immediate
necessity and extreme urgency -"
The President said conditions have
changed since enactment of the law,
it is no longer truly neutrality
measure. He said at is time for this
country to stop playing into Hitler's
hands and to unshackle our own" He
said the u. S. should not be forced
to masquerade American-owned ships
behind the flags of our sister Repub-
Ecs."
most of the vital goods authorized
by the Congress are being delivered"
Mr.. Roosevelt said. "Yet many of
them are being sunk; and as we ap-
proach full production requiring the
use of more ships now being built it
will be increasingly necessary to de-
liver American goods under the
American flag"
The American Red Cross instructed
the British Red Cross to forward i'm
mediately to Russia 800 tons of medi-
cal supplies. The American Red Cross
will send replacement supplies to
England.
Retail food prices continued to rise
between mid-August and mid-Septem-
Der, increasing &c percent to reach
the highest level since January, 1881,
the Labor Department reported. Con-
sumner Commissioner Elliot reported
food prices have risen 20 percent
since the war began as compared to
1874 percent in the comparable World
War period and farm products have
risen AL percent as contrasted to
1875 percent during the last war.
Price Administrator Henderson,
speaking in support of the pending
price regulating legislation, said
"even more frightening than the pres
ent level of price advances is the fact
that these advances have been gath
ering momentum since the early
months of the year." He said the cost
of living last August was IL per-
cent higher than two years ago. Since
March alone, he said, the cost of liv-
ing is up percent.
The Supply Priorities and Alloca-
ton Board ruled that no new public
or private construction can be started
unless it is essential for defense OF
the health and safety of the people OF
does not involve use of strategic ma
terials. The ruling applies to Federal
State and local government buildings
roads and highways, river and harbol
improvements, residential building
and all commercial building. Effort:
will be made, however, to aid compile
ton of construction already substan
TALLY finished.
The SPAB also voted to permi
building of 22S commercial aircraft
with the reservation that Army cal
take them if they are needed.
The President announced plans II
