BY the associated Press
American soldiers soon will be
wearing a new-style. dome-shaped
steel helmet that resembles in many
respects those worn by German
Army troopers.
After lengthy field tests the War
Department announced an initial
order yesterday for nearly million.
They will diSplace the current
asin-shaped model made familiar
by the World War A. E. F.
The new helmet is actually two
in-one head covering 1t contains
a liner made of fiber which will be
used as a field hat to substitute for
the present jaunty field or overseas
cap.
Tests by the Infantry Board at
Fort Bennlng. Ga, showed the new
style tin hat" gives greater protec-
tion from spent rifle and machine
gun bullets and shell splinterS than
the old type. The new helmet
weighs about two and one-half
pounds, or about three ounces more
than the present type, and is made
of tougher steel.
The initial mass order went to
the McCord Radiator & Manufac-
turing Co. Detroit. which received
a s3,2l5,370 contract.

critical danger of losing Indo-China

Syria. 1t is possible an Infinitely
vaster crisis will break out in the
Far East. = Diplomatic measures
must be prepared and taken in
agreement with Japan" it said.
Reviewing other international
dangers to be faced including the
possibility of the United States in
tervening in West Africa and Mo-
rocco, the newspaper asked
rs it possible to imagine for a
single minute that the men grouped
around Admiral Jean Darlan could
by themselves meet the enormity of
such a task?"
Admiral Jean Decoux, governor
general of Indo-China. and the
commerce minister of Thailand have
signed an agreement for exchange

Have Cash Available.
Since Soviet Russia has been
credited in authoritative quarters
with having from S80,000,000 to
100000 in cash available IN
this country. the plan TO increase
purchases from Russia was gen.
orally accepted here as further evil
dence that goods Russia obtains
here will be primarily on a cash
basis rather than on some lease
| lend arrangement.
President Roosevelt has promised
all possible assistance in filling Rus
sian requests that are compatible
with national defense requirements
and commitments to Britain, China
/ and the other American republics.

chinery metal working machinery
and oil drilling machinery.
Exports Fall Off.
! During the first quarter of 1941
Russia also purchased here freight
cars, internal combustion engines,
rolling mill machinery. trucks and
! tractors and air compressors.
! Exports to the Soviet during the
first four months of this year were
S21 ,597 900, against s35.605 900 last
year, before export control restric-
tions became severe.
Commerce Department statistics
show that the United States nor
mally buys approximately so per
cent of all furs exported from Rus
sia and also takes varying amounts
of Russian bristles, feathers, pine
needle oil, drugs of vegetable Or
igin. fax. iridium, manganese and
since the war cut off European
sources-Some hops.
An important question to be sur
veyed is Russia's ability to deliver
many of the products in view of the
Russo-German war. Manganese,
for instance, is produced in an area
cut off from sea transport, and 1t
was considered doubtful here wheth-
er it could be shipped overland
across a warning Russia.
Imports of Russian goods during
the first four months of this year
totaled S9,764 900 against s5,842 900
in the same 1910 period.

the first witness.
The committee, Representative
May said. will consider sinultane-
ously bills to handle the matter,
either by directly amending the
selective service and National Guard
laws or by declaring that the ma
tional interest is imperiled
He told reporters the committee
had decided to give the draft legis-
lation preference in the House over
the property seizure bill. However,
he said the latter might be consid-
cred by his committee later in the
week and forecast that it would re-
ceive speedy approval.
The seizure bill, passed by the
Senate yesterday, would permit the
President to take over in the in
terests of national defense both
Army and naval articles and the
machinery, tools and materials for
their manufacture.
But no property could be seized
until the Chief Executive had ex-
hauSted other means of obtaining
it, and others would have to be paid
fair compensation.
Peril Facing U. S. Stressed.
FTee-for all debate on the prop
erty bill began Immediately after
Senate and House clerks had reaC
President Roosevelt'S message urg-
ing Congress to acknowledge this
! national emergency and continue
in service the Army personnel now
scheduled to serve only one year
Declaring that danger to this
country was infinitely greater thar
when the draft law was enacted a
year ago. Mr.. Roosevelt asked that
the emergency be recognized "either
for a specific period or until revo-
cation by the Congress or the Pres
ident."
A formal declaration of emer-
gency by Congress would auto
matically empower the President tc
order selectees, Guardsman anc
Reservists to remain in service in
definitely. Senate leaders indicated
however, that instead of general
emergency resolution they would
favor a simple resolution stating
that the national interest was i'm
periled and specifically permitting
extension of the service period.
On the House side, soon after the
Presidents message was received
Representative May introduced ont
resolution providing for retaining
the men in service and another to re-
move the present Selective Service
Act provision-a provision opposed
by Mr.. RoOsevelt-limiting to 900,00I
the number of selectees who ma!
be inducted in any one year.
Some Senators have talked Of
a resolution declaring nationa
emergency and at the same tim'
permitting selectees to waive re-
striction which now prohibits theil
use outside the Western Hemisphere

requested relaxation of this restric-
tion.

Mr.. Sell further admitted that he
received Transocean news by short
wave radio in the upper part of his
house in Arlington for the embassy
because the reception wasn't good
in the noisy city.
He also testified that he was a

were required to be. of an Organiza-

its news was propaganda.

German ground troops were re-
ported to be engaged 375 miles in
side the Russian frontier in great
destructive battle behind the Stain
Line.
The well-informed Dienst aus
Deutschland described the fight as
of the greatest proportions" The
area was underlined further than
the assurance it was not on the
Kiev front in the south.
Operations on the Kiev front are
different from those further north
in the Moscow and Leningrad Sec
tors. In the latter, Dienst said nu-
merous encirclements have taken
place, while on the south wing it is
pure pursuit action.

would give the Russians breath
ing space now that the Stain Line
is broken. In this connection 1t
was indicated that so swift were

greater part of the German reserves
were not needed in the fight at all.

bama, administration whip and a
Military Committee member, said
he favored this plan, but Majority
Leader Barkley declared that while
he liked the idea of declaring a ma
tional emergency, he did not think
the question of sending selectees
outside this hemisphere should be
considered now.
Senator Barkley told reporters he
was anxious TO have extension legis-
lation reported by the Military At
fairs Committee this week SO the
whole subject could be taken up in
the Senate next Monday.
Gen. Marshall has said that the
matter should be settled by August
l. Otherwise. he recently testified,
the Army will have to start work on
mastering out men whose terms of
duty expire this fall.
From Chairman Reynolds of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
came statement that any proposal
TO send the Selectees outside the
hemisphere would open up an en-
tire new field and might tend to de-
lay action on the extension
Reynolds Hints Opposition.
Senator Reynolds said he could
not commit himself in behalf Of any
particular extension proposal but he
indicated opposition to voluntary
enlistment of those now in service.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana. an advocate OF the volun-
teer system. expressed disapproval OF
any congressional action to permit
the use of selecteeS, guardsmen or
reserves outside this hemisphere ex-
cept in case or war.
The Senate debate on property
seizure frequently turned 10 draft
legislation. and at one point Sem
atorS Chandler. Democrat, of Ken
lucky and Wheeler exchanged angry
words. Senator Wheeler declared
that if he were President he would
not want to occupy Iceland or take
similar steps without consulting
Congress.
The Senator doesn't know what
he would do if he were President y
Senator Chandler retorted. He
tried to be, but he isn't"
Il know what the Senator from
Kentucky would do if he were Presl-
dent" the Montanan replied. He
would try to get us into war. He
wants to go to war tomorrow"
Senator Chandler shouted that
was IAN incorrect statement
Senator Barkley entered the de-
bate to say that he prayed a war
would not be necessary, but IF war
is a last resort. I will not shun it. -
The discussion drew crowded GAL
leries which twice violated Senate
rules by applauding speakers op-
posing involvement abroad.
Taft Withdraws Amendment.
The property seizure measure
finally came to vote after the SEN
ate had rejected proposed restric-
tions, and Senator Taft had with
drawn an amendment stating that
no powers in the measure could be
used to force compliance with price
fixing orders. Senator Taft agreed
to withdraw his proposal when Sem
ator Chandler. floor manager for
the measure, said it would not be
used for that purpose.
Support for keeping in the Army
those elements now on one-year
basis was voiced last night by Milo
J. Warner, national commander of
the American Legion.
From Eugene. Greg, where he went
to attend a Legion meeting, Mr.
Warner wired Senator Reynolds that
