F r anklin To Observe Settlement U.S. Rushes Pioneers Of Idaho Aid For To Be Honored In Ally Cause French Appeal Gets Reply From Government Aides June 14 (L'.ni WASHINGTON, to The United States answer French Premier Paul Reynaud's final desperate appeal for aid appeared today to be that everything possible short of war already is being done. General reaction in congress and among administration officials to Reynauds appeal for swarms of airplanes and for an American declaration against Germany was: What more can we do except grant credit, which the allies don't seem to need, or send armed forces we can't do to Europe, which without declaring war? That feeling was coupled with the private admission of officials that this country just doesnt have what France needs to stop Germany swarms of airplanes and tanks. President Roosevelt received press and radio reports of Reynaud's radio appeal last night. The only White House comment last night was a short statement authorized by Secretary Stephen T. Early, it said: The text of Premier Reynaud's statement has not yet been received here. But everything possible is being done to forward supplies to France." That appeared to indicate that Mr. Roosevelt believes the United States has gone as far as it can under present circumstances. But there was a feeling of helplessness among administration officials, and a feeling that it was too late now to aid France. One official said that even if the United States had the material aid needed, there wouldnt be time to get it offi there. Other administration cials are known to feel Frances situation is hopeless.

WASHINGTON. June 14. lR President Ftoosevelt today cited the record of Germanys broken pledges to other nations as discounting reports quoting Adolf Hitler as saying he has no aspirations in the western hemisphere. That brings up recollections, Mr. Roosevelt said, permitting direct quotation of his response to conference questions press about Hitler's expression. He said that should he sufficient comment, adding it could be expanded upon indefinitely with references to specific dates and nations. Tho Gerpresident implied manys record of violating pledges to other nations does not permit this country to rest assured the Nazi aspirations will not be projected into the new world. Mr. Roosevelt, repeating America already is doing ail in her power to extend material resources to the beleaguered allies, refused to comment further on the last "supreme appeal" for aid broadcast to this country last night by Premier Paul Reynaud of France. r.he MADRID, June 14 T.li Spanish government of Gen.

The project will be completed with a resurfacing of both lanes. For the past few years there has been agitation to have the grass parking removed, and the entire street resurfaced.

BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor German armies occupied Paris today, threw new power into a blitzkrieg offensive aimed at destruction of the Allied armies in France and renewed threats of an early invasion of the British Isles. The total defeat of the French armies in the very near future was predicted in Berlin. Other dispatches said Allied forces still were intact, a new British expeditionary force was streaming into France with good equipment, huge purchases of American arms were reported from London and both the British and French governments said the fight would go on. f Greatest military threat to the allies at the moment appeared to center on a German drive almoet ld 70 miles behind the northern end of tbe Maginot line to Vi try La Francois, cutting through vital centers west of communication Nahcy, Meta and other strategic I a Montie Montanas shows and 250 feet of concessions, greeted cele brants Thursday night.
