the State Department.
It ordered all U. S. diplomats and
consular officials "in certain coun
tries in Europe^ presumably- those
occupied by 'Germany?to wfthhold
American visas from "aliens who
have close relatives still netting in I
those countries.1*
- The see mil Affected.
Thousands of emigwce - feem
France, Belgium, Holland, Luxem
bourg, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and
other German-conquered states will
be affected.
The order did not mention Ger
many, nor her Axis partner Italy, ?
by name, but it is known that Ger
man pressure on relatives of aliens
going to other countries has been
largely responsible for operation of
the world-wide German espionage
machine
The department acted soon alter
Gerifaany had formally protested
against President Roosevelt's closure
of all Nazi consular and propaganda
agencies in the United States. The
protest is expected to be rejected
sternly. [
Today's action, the department
said, was taken "in view of the
increasing number of instances
known to the department where
persons leaving certain countries in
Europe have been permited to leave
only after entering into an obliga
tion to act aa agent in the United
States for the governments oontrol
ing the countries from which they
desired to depart"
It was said that although each in
dividual application for a visa is to
be determined on its own merits,
this country deemed it advisable to
withhold visas in all cases in which
_ the applicant has children, parents,
spouse, brothers, or sisters still re
maining in such territory.
Many Already Approved.
Cases in which, in the consul's
opinon, a visa may be granted with
out endangering the public safety
of the United States must hencch
forth be rulnni to the State De
partment for final determination, r
approved a substantia} number of
meritorious eases, and reconsidMpi j
tion at rejected application will be
made after relatives of the appli
cants have-departed from areas cone

U. S. Baaetmts program.
The volunteer program has the
approval of the U. S. government,
according to Pirie, who conceded
that ft was a "substitute" for ac
tual recruiting which Britain want
ed to undertake-but which American
officials prohibited.
I Workers who volunteer will re
tain their American civilian 'status
and will not be subject to military
control, nor will they under any cir
cumstances be- calledvapon for com
bat duty, Pirie assured.
| v The magasine "Broadcasting," ra
dio industry trade journal," tonight
said that the program, if carried
through, would put many small
radio stations out of business. It
said there already is a serious short
age of engineering personnel due
to the Selective Service Act and the
I
calling up of Army and Navy re
served 1W. shortage is so acute, it
added, that in some instances larger
radio stations are raiding smaller
stations for their technicians.
The secret weapon is a radio de
vice which detects the approach of
airplanes far beyond the range of
human eyes and ears, or the usual
mechanical devices, Pirie sidd. Eng
land already has- great numbers of
them in operation, but it wants to
increase their use by more thous

-? ? ? -? JL - .-?-.v.'-'-?
RkiThe present rata of expenditure
will probably be tripled in 1941
and quadrupled in 1942, but even"
the contemplated expenditure of
$23^)00,000,000 in. the y?mr 1942,
when added to the war efforts of
the British Empire, provides, in the
opinion, ofStacy.May, Chief of Be
iMjfcrch and Statistics for the Office
Production Management, a margin
"tod slight to overcome within any
reasonable time the initial advantage
of armament superiority Germany
had built tip before we started."
|~ ? ,
?
Mr. May points out that scheduled
expenditures for defense in 1941 ere
only twenty per cent of the national
income.. -Great Britain is expected
lie spend not lees than forty per cent
lit her national income and Germany,
it is generally estimated, is spending
an even larger share of her national
income. Mr. May believes that the
United States will have to envision
a defense program involving expend
itures of around. *40,000,000,000 a
year in order to assure an adequate
armament.superiority over Germany.
.
Some idea of the program during
the first eleven months of the pre#-"
ent fiscal year dan be secured from a
study of the figures released by the
Treasury - Department. These show
that, the Army got >$3,228,383;$$4f:
Navy, $1,970,060,201; the President's
defense funds, $103,312,746; Selective

SHOWDOWN ;
Lisbon, June 18,?A diplomat ar
riving here from Berin today said
that it was the general belief there
that a Russian-Germ an showdown
would come within the next few days
and -some quarters even predict this
move would be made within 48 hours
Adolf Hitler is convinced - Russia
must be brought into line before his
European "New Order" can be con
solidated sufficiently for an all-out
attack on Britain, this source : said.
Thus far the Soviets were said to
have balked at increased economic'
collaboration.
The Russian campaign, he said
would be preliminary to a grandiose
scheme for eliminating British in
fluence entirely from Asia?followed
by a move through Iran which others
said already has sold out lock, stock
and barrel to the Reich?and by #1
move into India. - ,
