admitted that such development would result in serious delay partic- lilarly in view of the extremely close vote by which the resolution passed the House.
 Sen. Ebert D, Thomas, D., Utah, senate manager Sof the legislation, announced that he would ask con- ctrrence in the house notifications.
 The Senate and House resolutions both provide for retention of draf- tees, National 0uardsmen, Reserv- ists, and Enlisted Regulars for 1S months beyond their original terms of service.
 They both declare that the na- tional interest is "imperiled" and provide for raises of $iO per month for all classes of troops, except com miSsioned officers, after they have completed their first year of service. The existing limitation of 100000 upon the number of draftees who may be in training at any one time is lifted.
 Closest Vote In History
 The House vote was the closest any major administration measure has eperienced since the outbreak of the European conflict.
 After the result of the roll call was announced, Speaker Sam Ray burn ordered a recapitulation. The recount showed the same tally.

 Petain LlaMdad Hitler

The speech of Marshal Henri Philippe Petain announcing the appointment of Darlan as minister of national defense, lauded Hit ler's war on Russia (but promised no aid) and made clear that he now intends to resort to drastic measures to carry out his an- nounced policy of collaboration with the Axis new order in Eur ope.
 Thus Petain, admitting vast op- position among the French people, established the background and the machinery for dictatorial &C., ton to force the French into what ever cooperation may prove nec- essary with Hitler's war effort.
 What immediate course France might take was not disclosed other than along the general lines of participation in the new order, but little doubt was left that most of the Vichy leaders are prepared to go along and that whatever re- straint Petain may have exercised in the past has been weakened m favor of anti-BritiSh Darlan. Henchman of Hitler
 London again bitterly attacked Petain as 8 henchman of Hitler but 1t was pointed out that Petain's appeals to the people and for American sympathy emphasized two strong restraining factors the threat of internal uprisings and the attitude of the United States.
 On still another front-the Near East--the threat of new explosions continued acute. Following the Brit ish pressure on Iran to oust Ger man agents, both Britain and Rus-. sia sought to stabilize Turkish neu- trality by renewing their pledges to aid the Turks against aggression and by promising to respect the Turkish control of the Dardanelles.
 The action resulted from recent reports of German troop movements in the Bulgarian region and Sug- geStionS that the Na1s might seek to move against the Russian Cau- casian sector by way of Turkey. The British Russian move was said to have been received cordially in Ankara.
 Nazi Successes Admitted
 On the actual fighting front, the German successes were admitted in London and Moscow was compara- lively silent as to details of opera tons in the. Ukraine. London em- phasized that while the Germans had made important gains on the south flank they had suffered ter- rife losses and in the eighth week of war were far behind HitIer's timetable.

fense ministry would incorporate the secretariantS of war, navy and avia- tion. No mention was made of the colonial secretariat and lacking of- ficial clarification, observers aS- stunned that the earlier announce ment was in error and that cor- rection would be published in to- days official journal.
 In addition to his military pow CTS, Darlan retains the vice premier ship and is minister of foreign af- fairs and of propaganda. Two of his closest advisers, Lucien Ro- niier and Henry Moysset, were giv- en cabinet status as ministers with out portfolio.
 Also augmenting Darlan's power was the announcement by Marshal Philippe Petain, chief of state, yes- terday, that members of parliament would be cut off the payroll as of October l, virtually eliminating the legislative branch of government. Parliament has not met since July 10, 194O, when it voted full powers to Petain. Parliamentary mandates were to have run until 1942, the date set in 1940 by former Premierd Edouard Daladier when, during the war, he decided not to cal lelec- tions.

Russian planes had raided Berlin four nights out of five since late last week. Last night, the sixth, a big fleet of British bombers flew the 5OO-odd miles from British bases over Gerlnan-occupied and German territory to give Berlin taste o1 what the Germans had visited on British, Russian. and other Euro- pean cities.
 (Berlin dispatches indicated that the British raid was one of the greatest of the war. A communique said western, central and northern Germany were attacked. .,
 GAS usual, the communique Salo "a small number" of explosive ana incendiary bombs were dropped and that in the raid on Berlin "residen- tial outskirts" were damaged. It was added that there were "a lew dead and wounded" It was said that SO far at least 13 British planes were known to have been shot down, which alone would indicate raid in. force. United Press Correspon-- dents, in reporting the raid, adhered closely to the wording of the caln- muniuue in compliance with censor ship rules but did not, as on some occasions, add on their own 1nitla- tive that there was no activity over the center of the city.)
 Radio Berlin had gone oil the ar suddenly at 10:30 p. m. (5:3O p. m. Tuesday EDT) in token that enemy raiders had been detected on the way to the city but it was not known for some hours that after the four Russian raids on Berlin In i've nights,( the British air force was taking up the attack.
 Berlin Showing Strain
 Belief was strong here that Berlin was showing the strain, because reutraS who had been in Berlin during air raids had reported that everybody took to shelter as soon as the alarm sounded and stayed there until the ''au clear" was sounded.
 British planes had last raided Berlin Aug. 2 when big fleet of four and two motored planes made an especially heavy attack. Britains biggest raid on Berlin was on the night of April g. Last nights raid was the 18th by British planes on the German capital.
 German planes bombed numerous places in Britain during the night, though on a small scale. Towns in eastern and western England, the Midlands and South Wales were bombed but the air and home secur- ity ministries reported casualties few and damage small. They sug- gested that the German planes had scattered their bombs over a big area to give the impression that they were raiding in force.
 Detailed reports of yesterdays daylight raids on Germany and oc- cupied Holland, Belgium and France indicated that it was by far the biggest offensive day of the war for the Royal Air Force.
 Whereas the German air force at the height of its superiority had been unable to penetrate much more than 70 miles into Britain in day light raids, British planes took the attack 200 miles into the German

 picked up Patrolnan McKenna, and together they rushed to the scene of the accident. Arriving there they found that the door to the room had been flung open by Fer nandez, but the potent fumes of the gas still filled the hallway of the building. Together they car- ried Silva to the rear porch, and working hl relays administered the first aid respiration treatments.
 Silva had been boiling coffee, pre- paratory to having breakfast, and apparently the percolator boiled over while his attention was else- where. The liquid quickly snuffe6 out the flames, and the gas began to seep through the room
 Silva was overcome before ob- serving what had taken place, and when Fernandez arrived he was in state of inconsistencies.
 The apartment is occupied by seven or eight Portuguese, police said, all employed by the, Scovill Manufacturing Co. At theg time of his arrival Fernandez had just re- turned from work at the local plant. Other workers are employed on various shifts, and are rarely at home at the same time.

defense zone.
 So strong is the defensive arma- ment of the British bomber, that in the raids on Germany yesterday, lthe big fleet of fighter plane escorts dropped of at Antwerp, on the Bel gian coast, and left the bombers to continue alone.
 American made flying fortresses took part in the attacks and hurled bombs of the new high-destructive type on targets including the Em- den naval base, Cologne and De Kooy, Holland, where airdromes were attacked. British planes also bombed Le Trait shipyards, France.
 While the fortresS-s bombed from great attitudes, smaller bombers swept over German occupied and German territory at tree-top level. Pilots reported to the air ministry that Dutch men, women and chill dren stood in streets and fields wav- ing at them, but that in Germany the people ran panic stricken and that some threw themselves face down in ditches.
 British planes were going and coming all day yesterday and were still crossing to the continent at dark last night.
 Twelve Blenheim bombe-s and eight fighters were missing as the result of the raids yesterday.
 Cologne was the target center. The Godenberg plant at Knapsack, the largest steam power plant in Eu- rope, and the Fortuna power station at Quadrach were bombed in the area between Cologne and Aachen and pilots said they were sure that the Godenberg plant was put out of commission.
 Reports to the air ministry said that explosions could be seen inside the plant, which with the smaller Fortuna plant supplies power to the entire surrounding district, the industrial heart of Germany.
 Heard Over Radio
 London, Aug. 13-(UP)-A Rus sian war communique asserted to- day that the whole of Rumania had been cut off from railroad com munication to the sea and that the main Rumanian oil pipe line to the sea coast had been severed by Rus sias destruction of bridge across the Danube at Cerna Voda, 90 miles east of Bucharest.
 The Rumanian railr pad to the sea crossed the bridge, as did the pipe line.
 Sixty Russian planes attacked the bridge, the communique said, and dropped heavy bombs on it. There was a series of tremendous explo- sions, it was asserted, and one of the great spans almost completely disappeared in the river.
 A previous Russian communique had reported the attack on the bridge.
 It was asserted that it would take long time to repair the bridge. Meantime railroad traffic between Constanza, the great Rumanian port, and Bucharest and the rest of the interior was severed.
 The communique said as had the days first communique that all was quiet along the eastern front. And the possibility was indicated that there was at least temporary Hull in the German drives in the Lenin- grad Moscow and Kiev Odessa areas.

REACTION ON VOTE

Washington, Aug. 13-(UP)-The House vote to extend the terms of selectees, guards1nen, reservistS and enlisted regulars was watched from the galleries by small groups of serv- ice men in the crowded galleries.
 One selectee, from an army engi- neering unit, declared that exten- sion of the service period would pre- vent acceptance of a promised job in private employment. Another, an infantryman, said he entered service with the idea that the song-hit Good By For Year was straight goods"
 A National Guardsman said: T don't mind the thing so much, but gash, my gal sure Is sore. We were going to be married, but guess that's of for a while"
 Another selectee said "We're trained now, we're as tough as we're ever going to be-" He expressed willingness to stay in active serV- ice 'if there really is an emergency, but don't think there is." A com panion observed that "there ain't no bombers over Washington yet besides I'm anxious to get back to my garage business"
 All uniformed men refused to give their names and asked that their station be withheld. One said he had been warned to make no com ment on progress of the debate.
