June 3.—(AD—Leg islation was introduced in the House today to grant President Roosevelt emergency powers to "use any or all reserve components" of the Army j tor national defense after Congress lias adjourned. The measure was offered by Chair man May. Democrat. Kentucky, ol the House military committee, who said "reserve components" included the national guard and that the pow ers would extend also to use of the retired personnel of the regular Army. May'.-, bill would grant the control should "a national emergency" arise between the time Congress adjourns and the convening of the new Con gress next January. Mr. Roosevelt asked last week j that he be given the authority to j call out the national guard to active duty it he found it necessary. Representative Ray burn. Demo crat. Texas. House Democratic lead- ! er. told newsmen after a conference : at the White House that legislative) chiefs still had hopes ot adjourning j before the start of the Republican j national convention June 24. The White House said that Presi dent Roosevelt intended to "im-1 pound" part of the appropriations for ■ government agencies not vitally con- ■ cerned with the defense program. This step, which coincided with ! Capitol Hill proposals for boosting. special defense taxes beyond SG56.- j 000.000 a year, is calculated to re- j turn nearly S200.000.000 to the Treasury in the year starting July 1.

Raleigh. June 3.—(AP)— United States Senator Josiah William Bailey told Meredith college seniors today that "we must now live 'under a regime of duty and sacrifice"' as America girds for defense. The senator spoke at commence ment exercises at which degrees were awarded 87 seniors. The new graduates, Bailey said, would "enter upon your respective, careers under circumstances without precedent. It is the hour of the death . throes of a great epoch in history,1 of world convulsion surely marking i the end of an age. and, since hu-1 inanity will carry on and an ex ten- i sion of existing conditions is un-l thinkable, marking also the birth of; an age that is to be."' Senator Bailey's address, in full, follows: Young Ladies of the Class of 1940: You are now to receive your dip lomas and enter upon your respective careers under circumstances without precedent. It is the hour of the death throes of a great epoch in history— of world-convulsion, surely marking the end of an age. and. since hu manity will carry on. and an evt^p ion ui existing conditions is unthink able, marking also the birth of an age that is to be. Let me say at once that your first: obligation, in the midst ol' terrors and ■ alarms, is not to be either terrified or alarmed: and in the presence of circumstances darker than the black- j est prophecies of the pessimists, not i to yield to pessimism. Nothing may' be gained by despair, nothing by cynicism, nothing by the philosophy] of escape. Calmness and hope, when ! there is no argument for either, and: the poise that they give, are their) own argument and justification. Faith j itself is founded in hope—it is. said' the Great Apostle. "The substance! of things hoped for", which is to say that where there is no hope there can be no faith. And this reminds me to say that"! Faith, Hope and Love are still the great trinity of life, and so long as' (Continued on Page Three) STILL GOING OX. London.
