Washington The Supreme Dr. Hughes Honored at Black Tom Damage Claims Sustained Washington WValldlty of damage awards against Germany by the German-American Mixed Claims Commission as a result of the destructive Black Tom and Kingsland, N. explosions before the United States entered the World War was upheld yesterday by the Supreme Court.

Chief Justice Hughes delivered the opinion. Foreign Peril; Asks Money Washington (AP) President Roosevelt told Congress yesterday the United States faced an unprecedented "foreign peril" and demanded a "swift and driving increase in our armaments" both for defense ancf the use of fighting "democracies" abroad. "The need of the moment." Mr. Roosevelt said in his annual message on the state of the Union, "is that our actions and our policy should be devoted primarily almost exclusively to meeting this foreign peril. For all our domestic problems are now a part of the great emergency." Five Millions Found Jobless In U.

S. Census Washington (JF) The Census Bureau reports that it found persons approximately tenth of the nation's available labor force Jobless and in search of employment last March. The figure was based on data compiled at the time the decennial census was being taken. In addition, the bureau reported yesterday, there were 2,380,062 working on public emergency projects those of the National Youth Administration, Civilian Conservation Corp and Work Projects Administrationand ahother 1,789,144 whose employment status was not determined. The bureau expressed belief few of the latter were "in the labor force." Estimates by private and labor organizations on the number unemployed at the beginning of 1940 ranged from 9,300,000 by the National Industrial Conference Board to 12,000,000 by the Congress of Industrial Organizations.

The census bureau's figure was based on a five per cent cross-section of the population in each of the 154,000 census districts. This calculation also showed that there were 100,972496 persons 14 years or older last March, of whom 45,350,430 worked on private or non-emergency government work, 28,838,484 engaged in housework, 9,070,983 went to school, 5,220,098 were unemployable, 1,226,374 in institutions and 1,986,348 were not seeking work for other reasons. Seeks Broad Powers Appearing before a joint session of House and Senate In the House chamber, the Chief Executive said he would ask Congress for "greatly increased new appropriations' to carry on the defense program. "I also ask this Congress," he aid, "for authority and for funds sufficient to manufacture additional munitions and war supplies of many kinds, to be turned over to those nations which are now in actual war with aggressor nations." Mr. Roosevelt did not list the nations to receive help through his lease-lend plan, but in his recent fireside talk on defense he referred specifically to Britain, China and Greece.

Such aid is not an act of war," ilr. Roosevelt asserted, "even if a dictator should unilaterally proclaim it so to be." Won Be Intimidated In fulfillment of the purpose of extending aid, the President also declared, the nation "will not be intimidated by the threats of dictators that they will regard as a breach of international law and as an act of war our aid to the democracies which dare to resist their "'When the dictators are ready to make war upon us, they will not wait for an act of war on our part," he continued. "They did not wait for Norway or Belgium or The Netherlands to commit an act of war." Mr. Roosevelt set forward in three points what he described as 'our national policy" in this time of "serious danger" and he also proclaimed the principles of "four essential human freedoms" to which "we look forward" in "the future days." 'National Policy' Outlined Tie "national policy" the President stated as: First, by an impressive expression ol" the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to all-inclusive national defense. Second, by an impressi-ve expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we ar- committed to full support of aH those resolute peoples, everywhere, who are resisting aggression and are thereby keeping war away from our hemisphere.

By this support, we express our de termination that the democratic cause snail prevail; and we strengthen the defense and secur ity of our own nation. 'Third, by an impressive ex pression of the public will and without --egard to partisanship, we are committed to the proposition that principles of morality and considerations for our own secur Ity will never permit us to acquiesce in a peace dictated by ag gressors and sponsored by ap pealers. We know that enduring peace cannot be bought at the cost of other people's freedom." "Essential Freedoms The "four essential human freedoms" were described by the President as the very antithesis of the EVEN THE dEES ARE PROUD Of FLAGSTAFF MONEY in bhtv jar 5oz. 10 15 oz. 19? flagstaff foods ore old exclusively thru your neighborhood independent grocer.

1882 PL 6-0706 Deaths Funerals so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb," He described these "freedoms" as: "The first Is freedom of speech and expression everywhere in the world. The second la freedom of every person to worship God in his own way everywhere in the world. "The third is freedom from want which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peace-time life ifor its inhabitants everywhere in the world. "The fourth is freedom from fear which, translated Into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor anywhere in the world." Before Mr. Roosevelt's arrival on Capitol Hill, Congress had one important formality to discharge the counting of the electoral votes which gave the President his history-making third term in office.

The tradition behind the President's message is as old as the Constitution itself, for one of the original articles adopted in 1787 directed that the Chief Executive "shall from time to time give to the Congress information on the state of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient. Investigations Urged In the field of domestic defense, meanwhile, there were renewed demands for a thorough study of the entire program's progress. Senators Byrd (D-Va) and Johnson CD-Colo) already have proposed Senate investigations, and Nye declared that particular study should be given to contracts made by the War and Navy Departments without competitive bidding. On the house side, Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the Naval Affairs Committee arranged to start tomorrow what he called a "widespread inquiry" Into the production of naval aircraft and ships. Vinson, saying he was "disturbed by discouraging reports of a lag in production," declared his committee wanted to "find out what bottle necks there are and try to get rid of them." Mr.

Roosevelt was expected to wait until Wednesday, when his budget message will be read, to give Congress a detailed account of his views on taxes and the federal fiscal situation generally. Besides seeking additional revenue of at least $1,000,000,000 annually, the Administration is expected to ask an increase in the existing $49,000,000,000 debt limitation to $60,000,000,000 or $65,000,000,000. Another5 major problem before the new session may be the Federal Reserve Board's recommendations for broad powers to check inflation which might result from the multi-billion-dollar defense pro gram. Among other things, the board suggested repeal of the President's power to devalue the dollar further and the authority for issuing up to $3,000,000,000 In paper currency. W.
