That sounds confusing, we'll ad-

Here's what we're talking about:

Modification
Of Resolution
Is Requested
WASHINGTON, July 26—The
senate military affairs committee
today had ordered modification 0
the proposed war department reso-
lution for declaration of a nation
al emergency by congress to per-
mit retention of national guards
men, selectees and reservists for
the duration.
The committee instructed clerks
to rewrite the proposed bill which
would be limited to the problem of
keeping the citizen soldiers in ser-
vce.
The rewritten version, commit-
teemen said, would strip the mea-
sure of some of its broader "im-
plied" powers.
Senator Josh Lee (D.-Okla.)
said the only vote taken was a
"nose count," which demonstrated
the entire committee with the ex
ception of Chairman Robert Rey-
nolds (D.-N.C-) who did not ex-
press himself, favored the delara-
tion of emergency IVs a nieans of
retaining the selectees in service.
The committee, Lee said, felt
that the war department resolu-
tion which declared the national
i interest to "be gravely imperiled"
included a long list of implied
powers. The bill would call a
'imited emergency merely author,
izing retention of the citizen sol-
diers.

BEIRLIN, July 26—Russian
forces were acknowledged official-
ly today to be smashing at the
spearheads of the Nazi drive on
Moscow in fierce counterattacks.
But the 'German panzer columns
were said to be stubbornly holding
their advance positions.
The German military spokesman
described the Russian attacks as
fiercest east of Smolensk and, far-
ther southweet along the Dniepr
river, against the Nazi advance
forces beyond Mogilev.
On the Leningrad and Kiev
frints, meanwhile, huge German
forces engaged in a gigaatic battle
of decision were said to be closing
steel traps on the defenders. En-
trapment of the entire Red armies
in the southern Uraine was
threatened, it was said.

machine, after wiping out pockets
of Russian resistance and securing
its communications, soon will be

Phillips Car Sold

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 26—
The big lO-cylinder^ar in which
Governor Phillips was injured in a
wreck on the Newcastle bridge
south of here several months ago
was sold for jrnk for $155 today
as the state disposed of the last of
165 automobiles at public auction-
The governor's car was two
years old and had 52,000 miles
registered on the speedometer. It
was never repaired after the
wreck.
"It won't run so good, but there
is a lot of it," Senator E. D. Walk-
er of Hobart, assistant auctioneer
told the crowd. "It has 52,000
miles registered and 50,000 were

Scouts Collect
1,500 Pounds Of
Scrap Aluminum
Goal Not Reached;
Bin To Remain On
Main St. For More
An estimated 1500 pounds of
scrap aluminum were collected by
Boy Scouts during their cfrie-day
campaign Friday, Scout Executive
George a. Holland' announced to
day.
Divided by troops into districts
a thorough canvass of the city was
conducted by 175 scouts. The pots,
pans and other discarded aluminum
were placed by the scouts in a
central location in each of the
eight districts and trucks supplied
by the city picked up sixteen f-ar-
loads, which they dumped in a
picket-fence bin in front of the old
Perkins Bros, company, 300 block
West Main street, where it remains
on display today.
To those whom the scouts miss-
ed in their "Friday canvass, the
scout executive today issued an
appeal that they bring their alum-
inum articles to the bin. Although
short of their goal of 10,000
pounds, enough to construct one
fighter plane, Denison scouts were
reported collecting a larger quan-
tity than scouts in Durant. Troops
of both cities are affiliated with
the Red River Valley council. Mr.
Holland said the bin would remain
at the Perkins Bros- Store site sev
eral days so that more scrap could
be added. Each pound, he point-
ed out, relieves the nation-wide
shortage by that much and all
Denisonians having any discarded
aluminum were should bring It to
the bin immediately.
