Just before the house passed the draft bill by a vote of 185 to 155, and announcement to this effect was made by Representative Wadsworth (R., N. Y.) of the bill. To make sure of this, however, the house inserted an amendment, or Rabbit Well, look at that. If its for hares, it must be good for flood too!

The senate called for an age limit of. 21 to 30, inclusive. The house wanted registration extended to 45 years, in order to get a greater number of trained mechanics. The house also modified the draft industry amendment so that factories where owners refused defense contracts would be taken over by the government on lease or rental. The senate called for seizure and operation. Ironing out the differences, house and senate conferees agreed upon a bill that, (1) fixed the age limit at 21 to 35 years inclusive, (2) modified the plant seizure amendment, volunand (3) eliminated the teer plan. Wendell Willkie, G. O. P. presidential nominee, added his opposition to that of President Roosevelt on the delay amendment. 60-d- ay Wonder if he still holds her hands like he used to do?

While the cause of the blast was not immediately determined, federal, state and local authorities began immediate investigations because the plant was busy at work on United States defense orders. ' EGYPT: Offensive Italys long awaited offensive against English forces in Egypt got under way as artillery fire rumbled borup and down the Egypt-Liby- a der. Fresh Italian troops moved up near the border as British and Italian flyers clashed in the first exchange of military blows on this front. Observers were of the opinion that Italy was really beginning to play her role in the Battle of Britain. This role consists mainly in diverting the attention of the English to some other quarter while Hitlers attempt at an invasion of the British isles is carried out. Egypt is an ally of Britain but as yet has not declared war with the axis powers. As soon as the Italian forces slash very deeply into Egyptian territory this declaration is expected.

It is hoped his presence will halt the growing shift of allegiance of Frances outlying colonies away from the Vichy government and toward the Free France committee headed by General de Galle, now in London. General Weygand was relieved of the post of secretary of war and Gen. Charles Huntziger named in his place. General Huntziger was one of the signers of the armistice terms with Adolf Hitler. The Petain government also ordered detention of more wartime cabinet leaders, including former Premiers Edouard Daladier and Paul Reynaud, and Gen. Maurice Gamelin. All are being held in a chateau near Riom, where the war guilt trials are now in progress. Former Air Ministers Pierre Cot and Guy La Chambre also were ordered arrested. Both are in the United States. Seizure of the fortunes of 15 bankers, writers and industrialists was revealed. Heading the list was a group of the leaders of the House of Rothschild, many of whom fled France ahead of Hitler. Some of the industrialists shipped millions of francs ahead of them, but all leave behind vast holdings in French railroads and factories which now become property of the state.

British fliers, reported by the German air arm to be reduced to ineffective operation, were still able to get into the air and fight. Moreover they went visiting on their own. Docks at Hamburg, ports along the channel coast, in Denmark and Norway were given a treatment of aerial bombardments. The British air ministry said the retaliation was so severe that the areas could not be used by the Germans to launch a land invasion. Nightly there were air raid alarms in Berlin, too.
