CHAT MT THE EDITOR It's no fun to grow up. Not for individual people, and not for countries. So many re- srxmsibilities sro with it I - We've often suspected, especially during the last 30 vears. that America was growing up, bulging out of those short pants we wore until the turn of the century, and yet not used to long ones. If you need any further evidence of the fact, note that the Los Angeles city council has passed an ordinance making mak-ing it illegal to wait around and watch the trains come in. . When free American citizens citi-zens no longer have the right to cluster 'round the 'deppo" to watch "Ol Number Nine" or 'fThe Cannonball" go thundering thun-dering through, that's a sign that we've lost something. Maybe it's our freedom maybe, on the other hand, it's just our youth. ivl Approves toyo torn Flara m ' ' ' 4 T : Britain, U. !

MERRY GO-ROUND A Daily Picture of What's Going On in National Affairs By DREW PEARSON and - ROBERT S. ALLEN " ' WASHINGTON Criticism of Roosevelt by Isolationists is an oM story on Capitol Hill; but the president was never more sharply criticized than by his staunchest senatorial supporters at a recent haii-down get-together over foreign for-eign affairs. Speaking as first-hand sufferers, suffer-ers, they unburdened themselves about "White House leadership" In bitter words. The pow-wow took place in a private dining room off the senate restaurant. Among those present pres-ent was Vice President Wallace who, however left early. The discussion dis-cussion centered on two grievances, griev-ances, which have galled cabinet and administration leaders ever since the defense emergency arose. One is Roosevelts' constant backing and filling on taking firm measures against the Axis; the other his frequent habit of letting1 let-ting1 down those who carry the ball for him in Congress. : Leading the attack were agres-sive, agres-sive, young New Deal Senators Josh Lee of Oklahoma' and Claude Pepper of Florida. Both sharply. censured Roosevelt for his "uitra-caution "uitra-caution in waiting for public opinion to jeU on foreign policy, instead of leading public opinion' which,' they declared, . he should do as President. " An outstanding example of this, they said, was his vacillating vacil-lating stand on convoys.

Traveling to Prove Officers said the two youths were traveling to Provo when the accident occurred. On the viaduct via-duct over the railroad tracks south of Springville, the driver apparently applied the brakes to avoid hitting a car ahead, and his car skidded to the edge and over the embankment, rolling 20 feet to the ground below, it was reported.

SAYS WHEELER HAS GONE TOO FAR Montana Senator Is "On Dangerous Ground," Says President HYDE PARK, N. Y., July 25 (U.R) President Roosevelt asserted that Sen. Burton K. Wheeler has gone "too far" in his fight against administration adminis-tration international policies and is "on dangerous ground"." The president, at a press conference, backed up the charge of his secretary of war, Henry L. Stimson, that the Montana isolationist iso-lationist is ''very near the line of ' subversive activities against the United States, if not treason." Endorses Editorials Mr. Roosevelt, commenting oh Wheeler's activities, said he agreed with the heading appearing appear-ing above editorials on the sena-toi sena-toi whichApiSearod .thlasBOnlBt in the New York Times and the New York Herald-Tribune. They were entitled, he said, "On Dangerous Dan-gerous Ground,'' and "Mr. Wheeler Wheel-er Goes Too Far." That endorsement of the titles, Mr. Roosevelt said, covers the situation, sit-uation, implying that in the endorsement, en-dorsement, he had stated his case. He made no move to modify or temper Stimson's charges. Mr. Roosevelt re-entered . the administration battle with Wheeler Wheel-er on his own initiative. He brought up the question and had noted down on a sheet of scrap paper the titles of the two editorials edi-torials which condemned the activ ities of the senator. Sends Out Cards The president's comment was another of his frontal attacks on the major senate opponents of his foreign and defense policies. Previous Pre-vious exchanges between the president pres-ident and Wheeler had been the bitterest in recent history of White House-congressional relations. rela-tions.

BEAL WASHINGTON, July 25 U.R) The senate military affairs af-fairs committee today ordered modification of a proposed war department resolution for declaration of a national emergency by congress to permit retention of national : guardsmen, selectees and reserv ists for the duration. The committee instructed drafting draft-ing clerks to rewrite the proposed propos-ed bill so its" - effect would be limited to the problem of keeping the citizen-soldiers in service. The rewritten version, committeemen said, would strip the measure of some of its broader, "implied powers." The committee then scheduled another meeting to review the final draft of the resolution. Sen. Josh Lee, D Okla., told reporters that the only vote taken was a "nose count" which demonstrated that the entire committee, with the exception of Chairman Robert Rob-ert R. Reynolds, D., N. C, who did not express himself favored the declaration of emergency as a means of retaining the selectees, reservists and guardsmen. The committee, s Lee said, felt the ' war ' department resolution, which declared the national interest inter-est to be "gravely imperiled," included in-cluded a long list of implied powers. pow-ers. The redraft, he said, would be a 'limited emergency" merely authorizing retention of t b e citizen-soldiers. ' The new measure, he declared, would lift all limitations upon the size of the army and the number of selectees who may be inducted. At present, only 900,000 selectees may be inducted in any one year. Lee was asked whether the resolution res-olution in its final form would permit the lifting of statutory restrictions against use of selectees, selec-tees, guardsmen and reservists outside the western hemisphere and U. S. possessions. "It will not,' Lee replied. "The western hemisphere issue will not be mentioned." .

STOP GERMAN BLITZ DRIVE Order Freezing Japanese Assets Expected Tomorrow mm Columbia Steel Expansion to Create Capacity Capa-city for Producing 1,000,000 Tons of Pig Iron Announces Thomas WASHINGTON, July 25 (U.P.) Senator Elbert El-bert D. Thomas, D., Utah, today announced that 0PM has approved a $20,000,000 expansion for the ; pig iron branch of the Columbia Steel mills, at Provo, Utah. Thomas said he had received no word of other expansions. Defense officials estimated that the expansion would create capacity for producing 1,000,000 tons. This one expansion will amount to almost one-sixth of the recent 508,950-ton expansion recommended by the 0PM for approval by Federal Loan Adminis-, trator Jesse Jones. The large expansion will be fin-, anced by the Defense Plant corporation, a federal loan agency. 0PM Director General William S. Knudsen wrote Jones, it was said, that an expansion of pig iron capacity at other undisclosed points "was urgently required because present and prospective demana for pig iron is fafMn excess of present capacity and the demand for scrap iron also exceeds supply.
