He revealed his plans at his press conference as two ranking generals called for a conof nagressional declaration tional emergency because the nation is in "military danger." automatSuch a declaration ically would accomplish the army's service extension aims. The generals testified before the senate affairs military where sentiment commiltec, was developing in favor of an The declaration. emergency committee Is expected to finish hearings Monday on the extension legislation. Proponents completed their case today, and socialist leader Norman Thomas fired the first shot for the opposition. Meanwhile, Senator Sheridan Downey, D., Calif., a member of the committee, proposed that draftees and guardsmen retained for the duration of the declared emerpresidential gency be paid $30 more a month for any service beyond the 12 months stipulated by the selective service act. Downeys proposed bonus is designed as an incentive for extra duty by selectees and guardsmen. It w'ould accumulate during the period of extra service and would be paid out to the men on a monthly basis after their discharge. Mr. Roosevelt, who earlier recommendaendorsed army tions for service extension, reiterated his previous warning that release of many draftees, reservists guardsmen and might result in complete disintegration of the army. CITY, July 18 this year is enjoying one of the biggest tourists seasons in its history. Especially is this true at historic Temple square, in the heart of Salt Lake City where thousands of tourists flock each day. Records for this year show that there is a daily average of visitors to this Mormon shrine. There is a great increase over last year in the number of tourists who come to see the world famous L. D. S. temple and tabernacle. A recent survey revealed that from January 1 to July 12, 1941, there wore 182,365 visitors compared with 110,779 for the same period last year. Church office workers located on the grounds said that this year probably will be the greatest year for visitors yet. Beginning July 1 the tourist tiaffic increases until in August when it reaches a peak, church authorities pointed out, adding that it is during this period the greatest number of persons visit the square to see the temple and the uniquely constructed taibernacle, and to hear the lectures given by the free guide service. Probably the greatest attraction to many of the visitors at the grounds is the organ recital given at noon each day, authorities said. Here the tors have a chance to see the .pipe organ which has caused comment all over the world. Many of the visitors when asked what appears to them to W-thmost striking feature about Salt Lake City say that the "wide streets and "the way the city is laid out" appeals to them, a great deal. OWNER DEFENDS good idea, and many of them said that the fear of war seemed to be much stronger in the east than here in Utah. L. D. S. church officials agree that Utah is proving to be a big tourist state because of the excellent roads that the state provides for motorists along with other services and information that makes It a pleasure to travel through the state and to see some of the most colorful and unusual wonders of the west. - (UP)-Uta- h Tourists CAGED BEAR "Bruin, the mangy caged bear at a service station just outside the north city limits, "is being cared for in every way," declared the owner, James Davenport, Friday. Calling attention to the article regarding the bear which was published in a Salt Lake paper, Mr. Davenport declared the same to be untrue and unfair. Mr. Davenport severely criticized E. J. Mears of Salt Lake City who, when passing through the city, noticed the plight of the animal and gave a srtory to the Salt Lake paper to the effect that the animal was suffering for lack of food and water, and living under unsanitary conditions. Mr. Davenport thought if any organiaztion or humane society wanted a more important problem in this area to work on. it would be that of turning horses loose in the winter to forage for themselves in the mountains and western ranges. In his opinion this greater cruelty to animals than maintaining a caged bear. Despite the fact that Mr. Davenport was under the imwell pression that his bear was resicared for, a number of dents of Brigham have felt that "Bruin should be turned loose, and others have indicated their intention of taking the matter up with the county sheriff, who it was thought has humane officers powers. s A.

Hopkins Predicts We Will Overwhelm Dictators LONDON, July 18 (UP) Harry L. United Hopkins, States lease-lenadministrator, said today that America would build 6,000,000 tons of shipping in 1941 and more in 1942 sufficient to deliver ships, planes, tanks and guns to "overwhelm the dictators and whip this fellow," Adolf Hitler. "Production in the United States is increasing every month and it is going to increase more than anyone realizes," Hopkins said. "We must show the oppressed people of the world that this war cannot be lost." He said the United States was producing at least 1,000,000,006 tons of shipping this year and by 1943 will be turning out enough to carry supplies to "every theater of war" in which the democracies are fighting Germany. "We are going to protect those ships, but I cannot discuss the details, Hopkins declared. He quoted President Roosevelt that "our goods are going to arrive" and added his own assurance that "all I can say is that we are going to do it." The administrator, one of Mr. Roosevelt's closest confidents, arrived Thursday for his second visit to London in a year.

Tells Axis That U. S. Will Defend Atlantic Outposts WASHINGTON, July 18 (UP) President Roosevelt served emphatic notice upon the axis again today that the United States will keep open sea lanes to its Atlantic outposts and defend theso garrisons against attack or threat of attack. He said at a press conference that even he could not define what might constitute a threat of attack under certain circumstances, and cautioned reporters against speculating because he said they would not be writing news. Likewise, he said he would not discuss troop movements in connection with the battle of the Atlantic. "I do not think it is right that I should pull a Wheeler," he explained. He referred to leader, Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont. who drevy sharp criticism from the White House and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill for disclosing this countrys plans to occupy Iceland at a time when U. S. naval forces actually were rn roote. The president said today that the basic issues forming this government's policy toward Its Atlantic outposts is as simple as ABC. For example, he said, military authorities were convinced that occupation of Iceland by an unfriendly power would be a serious blow to national and western hemispheric defense. To prevent this danger, he said, the United States took it over. Having done so, he explained, it was necessary to protect the garrison and this in turn called for action to keep the sea lanes open. This policy applies not only to Iceland but also to Bermuda, on one end of the base system and Newfoundland on the other, he said. The president confirmed that the United States is building bases in Brazil for this countrys air force and intimated that similar construction is under wmy in other South American countries.
