Opposition Weakens
 On Emergency Pleas
tcontinued from Page lo

There is every indication of mis- giving here regarding German irl- tentions and potentialities in South America MT. Roosevelt was not overstating administration alarm when he said that "the United States and the rest of the Amer icas are definitely imperlled in their national interests.
 We have definite responsibility to every country in the western hemisphere to aid each and every one of them against attack from without the hemisphere" he con- tinued.
 Attack From Without
 Active here is speculation whether a putsch conducted by Germans al- ready in South America against one of those governments but without more than moral support from Ger many, would be an attack from without" The weekend revealed Q putsch- -that-failed in Bolivia, source of much of our tin. There also have been hints here that Germany had fomented border clashes between Peru and Ecuador.
 The emphatic insistence of Mir. Roosevelt and Welles that the United States stood on the letter and spirit of it's commitments to Latin American nations suggests the anxiety with which officials ob- serve conditions to the south. They likewise are disturbed by what they regard as official Spanish efforts, led by Generalissimo Francisco Franco, dictator of Spain, to .cre- ate disunity in the western hemi- sphere.
 All of these factors tend to sec- ond MT. Roosevelt's motion for g bigger army. Soviet Union reverses would add much to the force of the arguments, also, and all indications here are that the best informed persons believe the red troops must fall back, surely if slowly.
 National PeFip
 Chairman Andrew J. May, D., XIV, on the House military affairs committee, said he would propose a congressional declaration of ma tional peril" to empower the Prest- dent to keep the men under arms. He also had introduced War de- partment sponsored legislation toward the same end, but inclines now to the declaration method.
 MT. Roosevelt already has pro- claimed limited and unlimited Tla- tional emergencies. the latter on May 27, but the law provides that selectees and other short term sol- diers may not be retained beyond one year unless congress declares 8 state of national peril or simply amends the act to remove the pro- hihition. Best legal judgment is that Mir. Roosevelt's May 27 proc lamation of unlimited" national

emergency did not substantially-ii at all--change the situation which came into being with his earlier "limited" proclamation. But such congressional declaration speci- fically would eliminate necessity for "disintegrating" the army by early discharge of two-thirds of its men, including three-fourths of the com missioned personnel.
 There are some fears on Capitol Hill that a congressional declarA- ton of national emergency or peril might arm MT. Roosevelt with un- seen or ullsuspected powers but available information does not spec fly what or how. Department of Justice lawyers. however, were in- structed yesterday to refuse to dis. cuss with newspapermen tho effect 8 congressional declaration might have on presidential powers.

 A few hours after woodward in tennis shirt and dungarees pleaded innocent in Woburn district court t0 murder charge yesterday, his Ml- legged victim was buried in Oak Grove cemetery, Medford.
 Burial was preceded by a private service hege in the church of the Good Shepherd (EpiscopaD where the Rev. Charles F. Lancaster faced her parents, bereayed by loss of their only child, few relatives, close friends and a small group of classmates.
 Returning from the cemetery, pr. Lancaster, the girls Girl Scout troop leader and other citizens organized an Investigating committee to check certain facts in the case. QUC5tlVzES OCA&yC0
 Committee members said they were determined to find out why Woodward in view of his previous record in girl eases had not bees questioned immediately after Miss Shipp disappeared Tuesday in broad daylight while returning from Q grocery store.
 They asked why the Baptist parsonage had not been searched sooner. The house was closed for the summer, and Woodward had been hired to tend the lawn bor- dering the street about two blocks from the girls home. When the Shipp girl was found Saturday night in the parsonage kitchen, her eyes hGd been g0uged and her body bore 22 hack and stab wounds and teeth marks.

diFlsions in Korea.
 No Likely Match
 Ak normal strength, the Kwan- tilhg army would be no likely match fcr the Soviet Far Eastern army. However, it probably has been re- infOrced in recent months, and II reports of the current large-Scale troop movement are borne out, it is highly probable that Japanese force could be assembled which would outnumber the Russians.
 On the Russian side, the Far East ern army is regarded as about the most efficient in the Soviet Union. About 8 year ago 1t numbered S00,- GOO men. Because of the disturbed state of affairs, 1t may have been increased since then, perhaps to bOe. 900 or more.
 The army is entirely self-contain- cd and is independent of supplies from western Russia. It is supposed to have enough reserves of food, munitions and oil to last two years.
 Japans neutrality treaty with Russia Is no sure barrier to an at- tack. Speaking of the treaty. the influential Tokyo newspaper ASahi remarked significantly:
 "On account of the astonishing new developments by reason of the war between Germany and the So- viet Union, we could not help feel ing an effect on the neutrality treaty"

JAPAN SEEMS READY

Tokyo, July 21.-(UP)--Japan was disclosed today to have assured Ger many and Italy that the Axis mili- tary alliance continues to be the Foundation of her foreign policy and the press predicted prompt "active" steps to solve what were described ms Japal's three most pressing for eign problems.
 These were licted as:
 Anglo-American "encirclement" of Vouthern Asia.
 Settlement of the China war.
 Preparations for "any eventual lties" resulting from possible Rus piati collapse.
 The Japanese newspapers gave widest attention to reports alleging that British and Chinese forces are preparing to enter French Indo- China and indicated that Japan at tho earliest moment will launch precautionary" measures.
 IE was indicated that Sitomatsu Kako, Japanese ambassador to Vichy, has discussed the o-China ques- tioh with Vice-Premier Admiral Jean Francois Darlan recently.
 Of1cialS declined comment on these discussions but 1t was reported that c mutual assistance" pact which would give Japan a more fa- workable position for protecting" 1ndo-China against the alleged Brit asla-Chinese threats may be under negotiation.
 Papers Want Trouble
 The newspaper Asahi demanded that immediate action be taken to render Japan secure against the pmenaces which changes in the world situation have created"
 Micht Nichi said that Russia is anxious to retain Anglo American sympathy and therefore undoubted- " will cooperate with Britain and the United States in aiding the Chllnking regime of China.
 Asahi suggested that Japan launch crushing blow at the earliest pos stble moment against Chungking and thus successfully bring the ChSese war to an end, freeing Ja- pan tor other important projects.
 In view of the widespread prepar- ations being made by Japan to meet the situation both domestically and abroad, 1t is believed that early &C., tion Is impending to meet the first and second of the three pressing" problems = that Is, the so-called ''encirclement" threat in South Asia and the China war.
 The third problem - Russia = was expected to be met with action which will be decided by develop ments.
 Admiral Teijiro Toyoda, foreign minister, gave the assurance Satur- day, only one day after the new cabinet took office, to General Eu- gen Ott and Mario Indelli, the Ger

 The newspapers prominently dis played allegations that China had concluded a secret agreement with Great Britain and Free France un- der which China would attack 1lIuO~SIlAllds
 It was alleged that at the same time Great Britain would attack ndo-China from the south.
 The allegations were published in the form of a Dornei News Agency dispatch from Hong Kong.
 Domei said Chinese troops in the southern provinces of Kwangsi and Yunnan already were preparing to invade Indo-China from the north and Britain was reported to have started preparations to transport "native"2 troops to southern Indo- China.
 Halted All Traffic
 Shanghai, July %. (UP) - Japanese military authorities have virtually halted all military traffic in Northern China, Manchu- kuo and Japan, reliable informants asserted today, because of wide scale mobilization movements as part of which many troops are being sent northward toward the Siberian frontier.
 Foreigners are unable to obtain passports visas to Manchukuo due to military movements by railroad. Japanese steamships heading north ward from the Shanghai area are refusing passengers.
 Informants said foreigners in Peiping are unable to obtain railroad passage anywhere in Northern China and that there are constant heavy troop movements through Peiping, Tientsin and Kalgan, inner Mongolia.
 Foreign military observers report that the Japanese are heavily strengthening their Kwantung army - the army In Manchukuo - with artillery and that infantry and other troops are moving northward.
 These informants continue to express belief that for the present the troop movements 1lorthward are precautionary and that no Japa- nese attack on Russia is likely un- less the Germans win a decisive vic- tory. Belief here Is that Japan will strike toward French Indo- China first, and will strike soon.

helm, two of Germany's key indus trial cities, were raided heavily by bomber command planes which blasted areas throughout western Germany. Industrial targets and communications in both areas were attacked by big fleets of planes.
 The British raids were officially as large scale. In view of the con- stantly developing British aerial of- fensive this was taken to mean that hundreds of planes took part.
 Nazi Military Camp
 Coastal command aircraft bombed a German military camp and other objectives on the west coast of Den- mark, and bomber command planes raided docks at Ostend, Belgium, and Cherbourg, France, while fight CT command planes on night offen- sive patrol attacked airdromes in northern France.
 It was said that one bombing plane was missing from the nights operations.
 Three British fighter planes had been lost, and one German plane had been shot down, in 6 sweep over the English Channel and northern France last night United Press observers saw the British planes start over just before dusk, flying in strong formations ct vary ing heights, crossing the French coast between Boulogne and Calais.
 The air and home security min. istries said in 6 joint communique that a few German planes bombed points in eastern England, chiefly along the coast, during the night, demolishing homes and causing Q few casualties.
 British targets in the heavy raids on Frankfurt and Mannheim in- cluded railroad stations, yards and tracks, oil storage plants, blast fur naces, chemical, airplane frame, airplane, explosives and submarine engine factories, supply dumps, high speed motor highways and supply depots, 1t was understood.
 British Hit Italy
 Rome, July 22 - (U.P.) - British planes raided the town of Mazza- rino, Sicily, Sunday night, killing 12 persons and swounding IS and the RAF again raided Benghazi and Derna, Libya, last night, the Italian high command said today.

is anxiously awaiting the begin
ming of the infantile paralysis
benefit series next Tuesday night
at Bayview Park.
Il believe it will be a hard
fought series as far as the games
are concerned, and it is great

playing for the benefit of the in
fantile paralysis fund is con-
concerned. / hope this will be an

Plumbers are softball cham
pions of Key West. They won the
fourth and deciding game of the
title series from Key West Conchs
on September 20 last year. The
series went only four games,
Pipe-Fitters taking the first, los
ing the second and sweeping the
other two. William Gates, second
baseman and captain, led the Sc
ries' swatters with an average of
.642.
Gates placed second at the end
of play in the National League OF
1910. He poled % safeties in 81
tries, scoring II runs, for the high
mark of .442. Julius Villareal,
who will play shortfield in the
forthcoming series, possessed an
average of 1874. Leftfielder Higgs
blasted the ball at $40 clip.

Gates is the top-ranking softball
pitcher in Key West. He entered
the local Hall of Fame last year
with a no-hit no-run game
against Sawyer's BARRIERS on Aug
ust %. He also twirled several
one and two-hit affairs. During
the second-half of National
League play he lost only one
