Washinfflon, Aur, 10.  llIPi    Sen. i Burton   K.   Wheeler,   D.,Mont,,   to- ' night     challenKed     proponents     of compulsory     military    service     to .titibmit   their   case   to   the   public in   a   nation-wide   referendum.
Wheeler  said  a  decision  by  the ' people   on   the   draft   issue   would be   the   most   efficient   and   honest way of determininK the course tho government   should   taitc. j
"If the proponents of conscrip- | tion arc in favor of democracy and feel it is necessary to have conscription in order to gave dcnncracy they ought to be will¬ ing to submit the question to a referendum because that would be the democratic way In ascertain the poiblic's reactinn," Wheeler said. I
Wanta  KnliKtincnt Draft I
The Montanan reiterated his con¬ tention that the army has nol made an ' honest effort" to pro¬ cure volunteers to operate the army's new mechanized units, Re- diK-tinn of the period of army serv¬ ice from three years to 12 month.'i and an increase in basic army pay ] from $21 to .S,W a month would produce a flood of recruits, he said,
Wheeler's    challenge    was    given during   a   week-end   Senate   recejs which   advocates   and   foes   of   the J3url<e-Wadsworth  coiisc ription  hill ent   lining   up   their   forces   for

Originally, ilj^oiUd have re-| quired all men  belWe'A 18 and 64 to  register  for  scrvire.  with  those between   1«   and   21   and   i^ and  B4 liable for training in "home defense , units".    -As   the   measure   emerged , with   the   13   to   .3   approval   of   the Senate   military  affairs  committer, however, it was trimmed to include only those in the 21-31 age range,
.Meanwhile, a veteran Republican senator predicted that a substitute offered by Sen, Francis T, Maloney, which would .'ict draft machinery in motion only if army enlistment quotas are not filled by January 1, 1941, would pass if it came lo a vote in Ihe Senate now.
EJvenls in Europe will have a •trong influence on the outcome of the draft fight, he predicted. If rmany's "total war" against real Britain is prolonged and Uloody, sentiment for a forced draft of American power will in- ;rease,  he   predicted,
Wheeler said that a dnzen sena¬ tors who are determined to fight the Burke-Wadsworth bill at every turn probably will meet again Monday to outline  plans.
Senate nemocratic Leader Alben W. Barkley said ihal there is little likelihood that debate on the meas¬ ure will  be  interriiplcil  for consid- , eration   of  olher  legislation. i
Hnit   Proinises Sensatioiia
One of the most vehement oppo¬ nents of the draft bill, .Sen. Rush D. Holt, D., W, Va., disclosed that he intends to present next week "startling information" to show how "dollar patriots" initiated the conscription   drive.
"Millions   of   dollars   are   being • pent  to get America in this war," he   charged.   "Since   last   fall,   aome (Continued   on   Page   A-2i

Boston, Aug. 10. lUPi President Roosevelt, after an inspection of New England bases where techni¬ cians are building war machines to defend America, declared to¬ night the nation finally is hittin.{ its stride in ils urgent effort to rearm.
After Inspecting navy yards at Portsmouth, N. H., and Boston and the army's big gun arsenal at nearb.v Watertown, Mr. Roosevelt predicted that by late fall all navy yards and army arsenals will be at  full  production,
"It ahows that we are really getting into our stride," Mr. Roose¬ velt said. "I am ver.v much satis¬ fied with what I saw. Things are going along awfully well. i "I hope that by late fall all the navy yards and arm.v arsenals will be at full production. The cheap¬ est way to produce war materials is to run full production you save money in the long run by doing so.' Riiahing  Submarine*
Under pressure of the new .S10,000,000,000 defense program, the tremendous production centers of weapons of death inspected by the President today were roaring with activity. Ten submarines were building and three more were authorized at the Portsmouth Navy Yard. Eight destroyeis were build ing at the Boston yard, orders for five more were received today and orders for six additional destroyers were expected next week. The .vards went on a six-day week only this week, and the Watertown arsenal was working shifts around the clock on a six-day basis.

Although an agreement in prin¬ ciple had been reached hetween Rumania and B'llgaria nn the Dohrudja issue, nn date has been fixed for final discussions. Offi¬ cial quarters said, however, that these talks mighl start "some time next week." The delay was con¬ sidered significant inasmuch as the Hungarian - Rumanian conversa¬ tions originally were not scheduled to start unlll the Dohrudja ques¬ tion  had been disposed of.
