12. (iTI Reaffirming a "Hiipreme determination" to keep war awny from American shores President Roosevelt Inaugurated his third term campaign last night by advocating compulsory service for Industry as well as manpower, if necessary, and pledging that his labor and social program would expand rather than retreat in building national defense. He coupled these definite statements with an attack on unnamed critics who "love the laboring man In November but forget him In January" and called for an end "to the sort of appeasement which seeks to keep us helpless by playing on fear and by indierct sabotage of all the progress we are making." "Appeasement uncertainty, as I use it," he said, "is a polite word for misdirected partisanship."

The report will go to both I houses for final action and the congressional consensus was that 1 it would lie promptly accepted perhops before the week-end.

Scuttling a house provision for a 60-day delay in the draft and compromising differences on the vital i question of age limits, the six senators and five house members reach-j ed an agreement last night on a com mon version of the legislation which both branches of congress previously approved in different forms. The conferees made the maximum age 35. Thus when and if the bill finally becomes law 16,500,000 men will be called upon to register for service. When the physically unfit, those with dependants, and those who hold essential jobs are weeded out army officials estimate 5.000.000 men would be eligible for a year's extensive training. Piesident Roosevelt may call these, it was explained, in any age class the army desires.

Registration of the 16.500.000 is expected to take place within 15 days after congress makes funds available and the first contingent of 75.000 probably would be inducted into service shortly after 'T i Ts BASEBALL In nearby towns.
