FOREIGN POLICY

 Washington, June %. - (UP) - With minimum Of opposition President Roosevelt today appears to have established firmly this coun- try's foreign policy with respect to the aid-to-R Russia principle.
 Tn three quick moves. the admin- iStration announced It's sympathy for the Red army,s effort to stop Adolf Hitler, It's intention. to give such material aid as is possible, and It's decision against invoking the neutrality act in the Russo-G German war.
 So far, there has been no more than scattered congressional oppcSI. ton, although the neutrality act dc. cision was an invitation to legislative opponents of Roosevelt foreign poli- cies to make a voting issue Of the whole question.
 Several senators urged that this country continue to concentrate on providing material aid to Britain.
 Either Can Do It
 The neutrality act provides that either Congress or the president may invoke its provisions when either finds that Q state Of war exists be- tween foreign states and such action

BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editorll
 Soviet Russia battled to break off twin Nazi drives In. to the north flank of the long eastern front today and re- ported that the Red army had strongly repulsed Ger man forces battering at the door to the Ukraine on the south. Fighting continued on a scale probably greater than any similar military operations of the past, with the German blitS. krieg forces admittedly pushing ins to the Baltic states and the former Polish territory as far aS the Bar. anovichi area only 70 miles from Minsk, but not yet able to assault the main Red army defense lines on tho pre-war border,
 Furthermore, A promised NaM statement of sensational gains fails cd to materialiSe i1i the regular daily communique of the German high command, which again deais In generalities and predicted in- portant successes as a result og German triumphs In border clashs es.
 The German failure to produce . detailed report on progress did not necessarily mean that the hlitEkrieH was seriously stalled by Russian res slStance, but it indicated that Adols Hitler's time table might be dis- rupted in his greatest gamble og the war.
 Report Warship Loss
 At tho same time. the Nasl high command reported the loss of an- other raiding warship, the auxiliary cruiser Pinguin in a battle with the 10 .000.ton British cruiser Cornwall, although it said that the Pinquin and the pocketbattleship Admiral Scheer had sunk 352000 tons of enemy shipping in the Atlantic and Indian oceans. The Scheer returned to German port.
 PICK UPP 2
 The Germans reported that be- tween June IS and 20, 6 total of l36 British airplanes had been shot down compared to 3S Na2i planes lost, but London said that the grow. Ing Royal Air Force offensive against Germany had resulted in destruction of nine more NaZi craft. bringing the total to i50 in daylight sweeps since June II. Forty.six British planes were reported lost in the same period.
 Soviet planes again attacked Ger. man bases In Finland, bombing Hel. sinki and reportedly starting fires at Abo.
 Rumors circulated indirectly on Wednesday that Leningrad had been attacked and left in flames were de. nied in Russian press dispatches which said the city had had only one air alarm and no attacks.
 An uncontlrmed radio broadcast from Berlin, heard In New York by N, B, C., said Bucharest had been bombed twice by Soviet planes.

 Helsinki June 26 -- (UP9 -- So- viet planes bombed Helsinki early today, inflieting slight damage, and Finland made plain that she con- Siders herself at war with Russia,
 There had been no doubt of Fin- lands position after the statement by Premier John Rangel that "Fin- land has been attacked and will de- fend herself with all means"

 Nasty completion of air raid pre- cautions was underway. Wooden scaifoldingS are veing thrown up around buildings and Finnish radio stations broadcast m appeal to the populace for greater discipline dur ing raids, Only persons on their way to military posts are to be allowed on the streets after the alarms sound.
 The appeal for discipline seemed necessary because of a public in- clination to take air raids less seri- ously than when Finland was fight ing Russia alone,

Signing On Dotted Line

The Federal Reserve board, under
order of the president. has been
given power to investigate, regu-
late. or prohibit installment buy
ing. One of the favorite actions OF
the American people has been the
signing of contracts by which they
buy things on time payments. 1t is
good plan when 1t induces people
to buy substantial and useful ar
ticles rather than let their money
slip away in small driblets.
Also during the recent years Of
depression, it has helped keep
business going. Great masses of
people were over cautious about
buying. Their fears held up indus
trial recovery. The man who was
willing to buy on time kept many
factories going.
Yet just now there is danger
that many people will push prices
up by buying beyond their means
on too long term payments. The
people and the industries should
take the advice of the government
on this point, and exercise caution
how they mortgage their future in
comes.
Milford chronicle., 1941-08-22
Speed And Gasoline


The motorists are told they could
cut down their gasoline bills, if
they did not drive so fast. In for
mer days when many motors be-
gan to. puff, wheeze, grind, or rat
tie, if driven too fast, such motor
lists got a warning. The modern
machine is such a miracle of eff
cheney that the motorist does not
always realize how fast he is going,
or what quantities of gasoline he is
burning, or what would happen if
his wheel should be jerked out of
his hand by some mischance,
The prospective shortage of oil
products in the Eastern states tells
the motorists of those sections not
to burn more gasoline than they
need. Many locations elsewhere
may need similar advice. i.-f,a II
The speedy driver may say that
the time saved by stepping on it is
more valuable than the cost of the
fuel. After he has saved a few
minutes by extra speed, he may
loaf around with nothing to do. If
there is any danger of a shortage
of gasoline and fuel in his'section,
he is showing poor cooperation if
he tries to pass everything on the
road. t. Ei

Great River of Oil

Plans are announced under
which it is expected that eleven oil
companies will unite in building
what is called the worlds longest
pipeline. 1t will operate over a
$500 mile distance from Texas and
Louisiana to New York, and pump
25O,OOO barrels of oil a day.
Eighty years ago the old-timers
would have said that water could
not be made to run up hill, and oil
could not be made to flow over the
mountains. But that thing is being
done. 1t was estimated 10 years
ago that there were over 10000
miles of petroleum pipe lines in
the United States, carrying their
great rivers of oil. The ancients
thought they performed a great
stunt when they pumped water out
OF a well 20 feet deep. What would
they have thought about making
oil flow $500 miles?
