President's Message
Puts Emergency Plea
Before Split Congress '
Washington. July 21.?A sharply ]
divided congress today received
from President Roosevelt an urgent
appeal that it declare a national
emergency so that army siectces, national
guardsmen and reservists can !
be kept in service.
Mr. Roosevelt asserted emphati- \
cally that "the danger to American j
safety . . today infinitely greater" j
than it .\as last year when these:
l roops were called to the colors for I
services expected to last only a year. |
and he urged that they not be mus- |
j tered out now.
He also recommended, "because j
; of the swiftness of modern events," j
j that congress remove the restric- j
jtu?: v. hich n-w limits to 900.000 the'
, number of selectees thai can be en- j
5 rolled in any single year. The army j
1 as v. whole could not be increased j
! beyond the force of 1.725,000 now ;
IcontenQSiated, however, unless con-]
] gress appropriated funds for more j
] troops. Its present strength is]
about 1.500.000.
| Mr. Roosevelt's appeal, emphasiz- I
;; irial "time counts. was direct-j
! ;?d not only to congress, in the form j
; of a message, but to the people as \
\vt_ii with an unprecedented resort;
} to a vocal recording which permit-!
lleci radio stations to broa:\cuct his |
words in his own. unmistakeable
| .accents. He explained, in preface (
i to the recording, that he felt his
j message "should be made available :
J to as many of our citizens as pos- :
jsible.' for their information.
