be found today, and every dav in the newspaper. The newspaper is

Washington, May 31.—To a
gress that gave every sign of
spending swiftly, President Roose-
velt Friday sent a request for the
speedy addition of more than a billion
dollars to the national defense fund
in view of the almost incredible
events in Europe.
While no one could forecast the fu-
ture, he said, America’s defense
i must be made more certain as long
as a possibility exists that not one
continent or two continents but all

sachusetts, the Houst minority leade-

split Friday night as to whether the

Controversy over the request for
iHithoiity to call out the guard reach-
ed the Senate floor when Senator Ar-
thur Vandenberg (Rep.) of Michigan
told hi seolh agues that it was shock-
ing.
"It sounds," Vandenberg declared,
a reouest for power to order at
