The temblor came 16 years and a day after the disastrous shock of June 29, 1925, when 23 persons were killed and property damage was counted in the -millions. A strong sideward shock struck at 11:53 p. m. It smashed scores of store windows, cracked plaster and toppled bricks from shop facades. At least four distinct quakes, less severe in intensity, followed the first. Wires Are Down Water mains were severed, a section of the city was plunged in darkness by disrupted electric power lines, and. telephone connections con-nections were temporarily cutoff. Police barricaded State street, principal business section, and called American Legionnaires to assist them in patrolling the area to prevent looting.

WASHINGTON, July 1 UE An estimated 750,000 youths register reg-ister today in the second peacetime peace-time muster of military manpower. The new registration was far' less spectacular than the first. Approximately 200,000 clerks in 6,500 local selective service board offices and in about 1,000 supplementary supple-mentary registration places were filling out the melon-colored cards for tne registrants. Approximately 600,000 of the 16,000,000 registered Oct 16 are now in the army. But a large proportion of the 21-year-old registrants reg-istrants are expectea to qualuy for military training because fewer few-er of them have dependents or physical disabilities. No date has been set for the lottery which will determine the order in which the new registrants will be drafted. Officials said it probably would be held in the last two weeks of the month. They estimated no more than 1,000 numbers would be drawn, and that the drawing would be completed in about two hours. The first lottery Oct. 29 required about 17 hours.

Tfuwra, Mont., isolationist spokesman, pro posed a senate naval affairs com' mittee investigation of reports that American naval vessels have been "shooting or destrong" German navai vessels. Public To Know Chairman David I. Walsh, D. Mass., of the naval affairs com mittee, told questioners the Wheel er resolution would be considered next week. "I don't believe there is any-thiner any-thiner to these reports," Walsh said, "but the public is entitled to know and I'm going to sea that we find out the truth.'! Walsh Intimated Knojf touM be called before the committee to comment on a report - that an American destroyer had attacked a German submarine, which ap peared on June 9 in the news paper column of Joseph Alsop and Robert Kinter one week after Alsop was sworn as a naval re serve officer..

Allen, which said on June 23 American naval vessels "patrol-ing "patrol-ing and convoying" 80 British merchant vessels toward the African Afri-can coast had returned with word that submarine vibrations had been picked up and that one of the American destroyers had dropped drop-ped depth bombs. "These are serious statements," Wheeler said. "If we are in a shooting and undeclared war certainly cer-tainly the American people and congress are entitled to know it. The secretary of navy has refused to affirm or deny these oft-printed rumors. It is a sad commentary on our democratic form of government gov-ernment that it is necessary for congress to conduct an investigation investiga-tion to determine whether we have begun shooting." BY T. F. REYNOLDS HYDE PARK, N. Y, July I ALE) President Roosevelt said today that he still hopes the United States can stay out of the war but refused to predict that the nation would avoid the world conflict. The president repeated the aspirations as-pirations for peace which he first stated in September, 1939, when Europe went to war. But unlike un-like 1939, he specifically would not state a conviction that America Amer-ica could remain at peace while war rages across the seas. Mr. Roosevelt dwelt upon . the subject of war and peace at a press conference at his home here less than a day after his navy secretary, Frank Knox, had called for American naval participation in the war. Knox declared that the "time to use 'our navy to clear the Atlantic of the German menace men-ace is at hand." Says "No Comment" Mr. Roosevelt returned -a sharp "no comment" to questions regarding Knox's statement, and retused to discuss the address. A reported then recalled that in September, 1939, the president had declared he believed this country would stay out of the war, and inquired whether the statement stands today in the face of the extension of the world conflict. Mr. RoosfcVelt corrected the reporter. re-porter. He said that in 1939 he nad stated merely that he hopes America can stay aloof, not that he believed it could. The statement state-ment of his hope for peace still stands and he would give thfe same old answer, he said. Reporters, however, recalled that the 1939 statement had enunciated enun-ciated both Mr. Roosevelt's hope and belief that America could stay out of war, and on that occasion oc-casion the president permitted di-( di-( Continued on Page Six) Three Reappointed To Library Board The Provo city commission Monday night reappointed three members of the public library board whose terms have expired.

House Pats Ban On Wire-Tapping WASHINGTON, July 1 UE The house decided last nig'nt, 24 hours after G-men arrested 29 persons in the nation's largest spy round-up, that the government's govern-ment's counterespionage system would have to operate without wire-tapping. The appeals of President Roosevelt, Roose-velt, Attorney General Robert H. Jackson, and Director J. Edgar Hoover of the federal bureau of investigation for wire-tapping authority au-thority in espionage, sabotage, .'extortion and kidnaping csfies were denied by the house. An administration measure authorizing au-thorizing wire-tapping, introduced by Representative Sam Hobbs, D-, Ala., was defeated by a 154 to 136 vote that cut across party lines.

Probably more important than the immediate claims of German gains was a great encircling movement move-ment and a battle between heavy tanks on the central front facing Minsk where the nazi high command com-mand said repeated and powerful charges by the trapped Russian forces had failed to break through the German ' ring of steel.

Althou&rh the Germans seemed ' to have moved forward on the southern front cast Lwow and swept northward through ' the Baltic states close to or beyond Riga. The outcome of the decisive decis-ive conflict on the central front still was undecided. The Russian forces which the Germans said had been trapped and cut up into three . sections were obviously still able to fight back strongly with artillery, tanks and, infantry. The questions appeared ap-peared to be whether they could maintain contact and strike hard enough at the Germans to break out of the trap In co-ordination with operations of the main Russian Rus-sian defenses. Reds Hold Minsk The Red army still held Minsk so far as stated in either the Berlin or Moscow communiques; although the Germans had swept past that vital communications centers to Borisov and Bobruisk, establishing an 85-mile front on the Berezina river. - Unless , that broad spearhead, pointed toward Smolensk and Moscow and capable ca-pable of spreading out rapidly a. i i . over we nussian plains, can oe snapped off, the German system of throwing huge reserves through a break in the main line might soon threaten disaster to the Red army.
