Roosevelt Seeks
Gigantic New Fund
To Finance Army

WASHINGTON, July 10 (UP) -
President Roosevelt today approved
and sent to congress supplement
tary budget request of $4,700000 ,O00
for the war department.
The request will be in addition to
other requests for money for the
navy and the maritime commission
and a new multi-billion dollar ap-
preparation for continuation of the
lend-lease program.
Stephen T. Early, White House
secretary, who announced Mr..
Roosevelt's decision, said that the
unprecedented supplemental war
department appropriation will go
chiefly for new army ordnance
the heavy guns with which the new
army is being equipped for "all out
defense"
Additionally. Early said, the funds
will be used to meet pay rolls of
the rapidly expanding army. The
war department plans to have more
than 100000 men within the next
Il months.

Support for Lear, however, came
from Rep. Charles I. Faddis, D.,

not to interfere with disciplinary
action of army officers.
Kilday had directed a scorching
telegram to Lear, who is outranked

chief of staff, and rose from the
rank of private. He demanded to
know whether the soldiers activities

The general, in civilian attire, was

Taft criticized the occupation OF
Iceland by American troops, and
declared that the United States
could send troops to Ireland, Scot
land, England or Portugal on the
same justification that was used
to occupy Iceland
These countries are no further
away than Iceland" Taft said, land
now We have to defend our troops

reliable authority that the United
States was constructing naval
air base for Great Britain in north

Taft made his address a few
minutes after the senate naval af-
fairs committee voted to call Secre-
tary of Navy Frank Knox and Ad-
miral Harold r. Stark, chief OF
naval operations, to discuss reports
that American naval patrol boats
have shot at German submarines
in the Atlanta. They will be ques-
toned in executive session tomor-

Taft reminded the senate that
Wendell L. Willkie, after con-
ference with President Roosevelt
yesterday, suggested American bases
in northern Ireland and Scotland
Willkie emphasized that the state
ment was made on his own behalf
THE occupation of Ireland would
relieve perhaps half million Brit
ish troops for service elsewhere,
and put a half million American
boys into the British islands," Taft
said.
Every argument that has been
used for the occupation of Iceland
applies to Ireland and England and
Portugal"
