Statiiv “w« will not let Hitler pre- ocribe the wnters of the world on which our dhipo may travel . . the PresMent asked Congress to re peal Section 6 of the Neutrality Act which proMhlts arming of American merxdiasts dhips and to examine oth er phaaw rf the law. The President pjiid this action “is a matter of im mediate necessity and extreme ur gency ...” The President said conditions have so dianged since enactment of the law, It Is no longer truly a neutrality measure. He said “it is Ume for this country to stop playing into Hitler’s hands and to unshackle our own.” He the U. S. should not “be forc ed to masquerade American-owned ships behind the flags of our sister Republics.” ' “Most of the vital goods authorized by the Ooagreus are being delivered,” Mr. Rooserdt s^. “Yet many of them are being sunk; and as we ap proach full production requiring the use of more shtpa now being built it will be increasingly necessary to de liver American goods under the Amer ican flag.” Aid to Britain and Russia The American Red Cross Instructed the British Red Cross to forward im mediately to Russia 800 tons of med ical supplies. The American Red Cross will send replacement supplies to Ehigland. Prices • Retail food prices continued to risa between mid-August and mid-Septem ber, increasing 2.6 percent to reach the highest level since January, 1931, the Labor Department reported. Con sumer Commissioner EUliott reported food prices have risen 29 percent since the war began as compared to 18.4 percent in the comparable World War period and farm products have risen 43.1 percent as contrasted to 12.6 per cent during the last war. Price Administrator Henderson, speaking in support of the pending price regulating legislation,- said "even more frightening than the present level of price advances is the fact that these advances have been gather ing momentum since the early months of the year.” He said the cost of liv ing last August was 7 1-2 percent higher than two years ago. Since March alone, he said, the cost of liv ing is up 5 percent. Priorities The Supply Priorities and Allocation Board ruled that no new public or private construction can be started unless It is essential for defense or the health and safety of the people or does not involve use of strategic materials. The ruling applies to Fed eral, State and local government buildings, roads and highways, river and harbor improvements, residential building and all commercial building. Efforts wlU be made, however, to aid completion of construction already substantially Hnished. The SPAB also voted to permit building of 228 commercial aircraft —^with the reservation that Army can take them if they are needed. Physical BehaUlitstion for Selectees The President announced plans to “salvage” 200,000 of the 1,000,000 se lective service registrants who have been rejected for health reasons. He also announced he would initiate a long-range program of Federal, State and local cooperation to remedy con ditions whcih have resulted in 50 per cent of men of army age being physi cally unfit for military service. The Federal Government would pay for medical and dental treatment of those men certified by local boards as sub ject to health improvement. Selective Service announced that starting January 1 all registrants will be given only one ph3rsical exam— by the Array. At present registrants are examined by local board doctors and then by Army physicians and cannot tell until the final exam if they will be accepted. Air OPM announced 1,914 military air craft were delivered during Septem ber—a new monthly record. The War Department announced it will allow Army aviation cadets 30 hours credit for flight training prior to enlistment —^thereby cutting in half the flying time necessary in the Army to win wings. Mimic air raids began along the East coast from Boston to Sa vannah to test ability of civilian •potters and their communication qrstem. Nnnlsig The TU6 CroM announced a pro gram to instruct 600,000 American houaewivea in iumie nursing in the next year. Couisea win take six Wadfi of daaa work and practical cacpartanoe. Him CMivla Petaraon. di rector of public health nursing for Minnesota, will conduct the prog ram. Employment The President’s Committee on Fair Employment Practice asked any one denied a defense job because of creed, color, race, or national origin to write the Committee at Washington so an investigation can be made and reme dial steps taken. ’The OPM Labor Di vision Issued new reporting forms to speed up surveys by the U. S. Employ ment Service local offices of situa tions where civilian factories are closed by material shortages and priorities. The OPM advised the War- Department that 34 companies mak ing moat of the nation’s washing ma chines can produce defense articles and asked they be given preferential treatment to avoid lay-off of workers. Lidior The President, in a message to the AFL convention in Seattle, said the time has come when Federal media tion machinery “must be used . . . before any recourse is taken to a strike or lockout.” He said organiza tional rivalries and jurisdictional con flicts must be discarded for the dur ation. Labor Secretary Perkins told the meeting "it is of extreme mipor- tance that trade-unions develop in the near future a /pattern of self- imposed discipline.’r She said the closed i^op, closed n^mbenMps and high dues should be "r^udied with a view to the pul^licwelfare” and to provide for those who “are not join ers by nature." lAbor Safety Navy Secrd^tary Knox told the 30th National Safety Congress in Chi cago a killed or injured worker is as much loss to defense as a wounded soldier because "we have no time tc train replacement workers.” He said time lost through injuries last ycai would have built 45 battleships, 75,- 000 fighter planes or 15,000 heavy bombers. Production OPM Director Knudsen, speaking in New York, said despite tremendouf increases in British and American pro duction the Nazis will continue to hold their lead in certain important war items “for a long time unless we step up our present pace.” OPM Chief Statistician May said in a New-York radio speech that the U. S. is devot ing only 15 percent of its resources to defense while Canada and Great Britain are devoting 50 percent—close to the absolute maximum. Mr. May said to put U. S. production on a plane with Britain’s means drastic di version of materails, man-power and facilities from civilian to military uses. He said, for example, auto pro duction would have to be'cut'from 50,000 to 1,000 cars a week. Foreign "fttide President Roosevelt told the 28th National Foreign Trade Convention in New York that equality of treatment and mutual benefit to all nations could be the only basis for post-war commercial relations if peace is to be enduring. Under Secretary of State Welles told the convention that trade agreement similar to those made be fore the war by the ,U. S. would he one of the post-war economic tools, under Secretary of Commerce Chat- field-Taylor told the group "we must not repeat the mistake of Versailles, of stressing territorial and political adjustments and asking little provi sion for the basis of sound' trade and economic reconstruction.” He said England and the U. S. must set the trade pattern because only they have the productive facilities, natural re sources and capital necessary for world economic order. Helping South America Speaking in Boston, Coordinator , of Inter-American Affairs Rockefeller said the U. S. “has practically taken up the slack left in the trade of the 20 Republics due to their loss of the continental European markets,” by increasing import purchases from $450,000,000 to nearly a billion dollars a year. He said the $700,000,000 made available to South America for loans WANT ADS DO YOU NEED MONEfY? — BOR- row on yonf automobile.
