Roosevelt Sets Precedent Nominating Tammany Hall
Lawyer as U. S. Attorney for Southern New
York; James B. McNalIy Proposed
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, June II - U.Po -
President Roosevelt's nomination of
a Tammany Hall lawyer to be Uni
ted States Attorney for the southern
district of New York has strength
ened belief here that he will be a
fourth term candidate.
Award of that particular bit OF
patronage to Tammany is without
precedent in recent Democratic his
tory. For the job, Mr.. Roosevelt pro-
posed James B. M. McNally, chair
man of Tanmany's law committee.
McNally generally is regarded as a
first class lawyer fully competent
to administer the district attorneys
office.
Republican protests against the
nomination, if any will challenge
the wisdom of putting Tammany in
charge of federal law business in
New York. That line of attack
doubtless will appeal to Governor
Thomas E. Dewey. Dewey's first
elective office was district attorney
of New York (ManhattanD County
and he got the job by persuading
the voters that Tammany should
not control that office.
There is no evidence so far of
any senate disposition to challenge
McNally's fitness nor to delay his
confirmation, as was the case last
year when the president Nominated
for the federal bench, Thomas F.
Meany an associate of Mayor
Frank Hague, of Jersey City. Sen
ator Wallace H. White, Jr., r., Me.
Senator Warren w. Barbour, r.,
and former Senator George
w. Norris, Ind, Neb, led fight to
prevent Meany's confirmation on
charges that he was a tool of the
Hague machine" Meany was con-
firmed by a vote of 80 to 20.
Chairman Frederick Van Mugs, D.,
Ind, of the senate judiciary COM
mittee said McNallys nomination
would be considered Monday and
that he did not anticipate any OBJ
jections. But the political aspects of
the nomination are not being over
looked here nor in New York. In
reporting the nomination, the New
York Times said it was interpreted
as IAN almost open declaration of a
fourth term candidacy
1t also is a reward to the Tam
many organization for standing
with the president last August when
he tried to break James A. Farley S
hold on the New York State Demo-
cratic convention and to obtain the
gubernatorial nomination of Sena-
| tor James M Mead. Farley and the
president now are sparring for con-
troll of New York'S delegation to

convention. Delegates controlled by

UNITED Press Staff COrreSpondent)

Washington, June II. - CUP -
American flyers tore huge Japan
csc aerial fleet to bits in a great
battle over Guadalcanal, shooting
down II planes while losing only six
of their own, the Navy revealed to-
day.
This was a new record for a single
American air engagement in any
theater. 1t was scored on Wednes-
day.
The bag included 80 bombers and
As Zero fighters. The Navy had no
information as yet on the total of
planes in the attacking force, and
gave no hint of the number of U. S.
craft which rose to meet them and
won a smashing victory.
1t was the latest in a series of
big American air victories in that
area and took another big bite out
of the weakening japanese air
power.
The lop-sided score brought to
LIS the number of japanese planes
lost over the Solomons, according to
a United Press compilation. U. S..
Flyers, in achieving this record, suf-
fered only about one-fifth the
losses.

GENERAL MOBILIZATION

Laval to Declare War
Against Reds
BY JOHN A. REICHMANN

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, June II. =
(UP) - Fighting French
sources today revealed receipt
of underground reports of a
German plan to have France
declare war on the Soviet
Union. The report was that
Adolf Hitler also plans to put
all able-bodied Frenchmen
between the ages of 20 and
30 into the German labor service,
preliminary to forcing them into uni
form for eastern front service as
soldiers.
The Fighting French source was
unable to divulge the place and
manner of intercepting the report,
but indicated it came from German
sources.
The report said that Pierre Laval
mead of the French government, has
oegun to put the plan in effect by

of 1S41-4243 are to be sent to Ger
many to work in the Todt organi-
sations, engaged in building fortif1-
cations. They will replace Germans
from the work organization for use
IN military operations.
The overall plan, however, goes
farther than this, the Fighting
French report said, and ultimately
will include all those in the classes
from 1888 to 1943
Men from these classes will go
INTO the Observation-Disclosures, or Ger
man labor service, and into the Todt
organization, Later they will be
transferred to the eastern front, os-
sensibly for additional labor.
Then, it was said, the Germans
will put pressure on Laval to de-
clare war on Russia. The men will
oe put into uniform and sent to
dght. There is no plan to attempt
10 get Laval to declare WI on the
other United Nations, it was said,
presumably because the Germans
Gear this would create too great re-
J siStance.
At about the same time, it was re-
4 ported, general mobilization will be

all men up to IS years of age and
women up to as to Worl- or give 9TH

All these measures, it was noted

provoked numerous instances of an

said, when, at a recent conference
with German neWSpapermen in

"We are now beginning decisive

GOVERNMENT SEEN
King Peter, 10, to Replace
Administration Headed
By YOvanOvitch

London, June 17.-(UP)-Peter, 10
year old king of Jugoslavia, told the
United Press today that he expects
to form a government within "a
hours to replace that headed by
Premier Slobodan Yovanovitch, who
resigned under pressure.
Peter asserted that the new prime
minister would be "a Jugoslav." He
would not elaborate but that was
taken to mean his choice would be
a representative OF the interests of
Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia
man favored by all Jugoslavs.
There was no intimation as to
possible candidates for the premier
ship.
1t was understood that dissention
over Yovanovitch's foreign policy,
his opposition to the kings engage
ment to 22-year-old Princess Alex
andra of Greece and an agreement
by partisan guerrilla fighters to sup
port Gen. Draja Mikhailovitch had
contributed to the premler's resig-
nation. He was first appointed in
January, 1912.
Certain cabinet members were re-
ported to have become "fed up"
with Yovanovitch's failure to define
a strict Jugoslav foreign policy.
Well Informed quarters said Peter
sought to establish unity among all
elements by giving equal voice to
the Croats, Serbs and Slovenes. The
king was said to believe that all ele-
ments must be represented in the
government if Jugoslavia is to rise
from it's wreckage after the war.
CThe Moscow radio. recorded by
CHS, reported that JugoSlav guer-
rillas are intlicting heavy losses on
axis occupation troops)
Yovanovitch was reported reliably
to have resigned because Jugoslav
cabinet members felt that he was
unqualified to carry out the govern
ments new foreign policy calling
for closer collaboration with the
