Aid Abroad Won’t End This Year •y th« A»»<xiot*d Sf#»i President Truman told Congress today the job of providing relief to war-ravaged lands will not end this year—an apparent indication that additional appropriations may be asked. In a message accompanying the administration’s eighth quarterly re port on UNRRA’s operations, the President said it is “essential that we look ahead to the relief require ments which will confront war devasted areas in the coming year." To the people of the United States he declared that “we must continue our endeavors to conserve our food resources," and added that—despite ! the success thus far in averting 1 world tragedy—“it would be doubly : tragic if we were not prepared to ; meet the less difficult task ahead." UNRRA Fate Uncertain. Mr. Truman's message left uncer tain the way in which relief work beyond that for which funds already have been provided would be carried out: Whether through an extension of UNRRA, through the United Nations, or independently. Present plans of UNRRA call for termination of its activities in Eu rope by year’s end, and in Asia at the end of March, except for ship ment of goods out of available re sources. Any additional aid—and the United States now provides more than 70 per cent of the total—would require congressional action. In obvious reply to criticism both in Congress and abroad that UNRRA supplies were being traded on the black market, today’s report said investigation had proved "reassur ing.’’ While acknowledging the condition did exist in some degree in Poland, Greece and China, the report said Government action is being taken in all three countries and the situation is Improving. j The report also declared that UNRRA missions in the Ukrainian and Byelorussian Soviet republics found the distribution there “thor oughly satisfactory.” Aware of Value of Aid. "Both missions found a complete awareness on the part of govern ment officials and the people of the lvalue and extent of UNRRA aid,” |the report added. "Neither found .evidence of any concealment of the i source of UNRRA supplies. In ration stores UNRRA goods were prominently displayed on shelves and in windows with the brands and countries of origin plainly visible." The report gave these figures on ! the extent of United States aid to I UNRRA: Out of UNRRA's total food ship ments from July 1 until the middle of this year, the United States had furnished 79 per cent of grain, 99 per cent of dairy products, 50 per cent of meat, 61 per cent of rice, 63 per cent of sugar, 33 per cent of fish and 24 per cent of edible fats i and oils.” ! The report showed that by June 30 the member nations had paid in to UNRRA $3,156,710,952. or 85.5 per cent of their total contributions. Of this, $196,621,300 remained un spent and uncommitted. Early in July the United States made the last of its $2,700,000X100 contribution available, bringing UNRRA’s percentage of totally paid in contributions to about 98. 18-Year-Olds Warned On Draft Registration The Selective Service Act still requires registration of young men on their 18th birthday, even though ■ they are not liable for induction into the service until they are 19, national selective service headquar ters pointed out yesterday, i When Congress extended the act until March 31, 1947, 18-year-old boys were exempted from training and service, but the requirement for them to register was not lifted. Churchill Told House! In'40 That Nazis Had j 1,900 Invasion Ships By th* Associated Pr«»s LONDON, Sept. 26.—Winston! Churchill secretly told the House of; Commons in 1940 that the Germans had massed a gigantic invasion fleet of "upward, of 1,700 self-pro pelled barges and more than 200 sea-going ships’’ in position for an assault on Britain. The release last night of two hitherto unpublished speeches by Britain’s wartime Prime Minister cast new light on a subject which has been argued for six years—did Hitler actually intend to invade Britain?

The two speeches, together with three others previously released, were to be published today under the title of "Secret Session Speeches,” the seventh and final volume of Mr. Churchill’s war orations.

On the hotel’s Private Siding a 6000-horse power diesel-electric locomotive of signifi cant new design will make its debut to the railroad and business world. This s the first of a new line of passenger j locomotives which shortly will go into ser vice on the crack streamline trains of the Santa Fe Railroad. These super-locomotives offer the Ameri can railroads a new solution to their key problem as they move into a period of vigor ous, resourceful competition—the problem of providing the finest transportation for the lowest possible cost. I • This is the mightiest of an entirely new line of mass-produced diesel-electric pas senger and freight locomotives and switch ers built by two great engineering firms, American Locomotive and die General Elec tric Company. From American Locomotive come the 16 cylinder V-type diesel engines which pack more power into less weight tKan any other locomotives on the rails. From General Electric come the war-born super chargers and new electrical equipment. This is the 75,000th locomotive produced in more than a century by American Loco motive, builder of more locomotives than any other manufacturer in the world. This ife a proud day on the Private Siding \ ' \ • of the Waldorf—proud for the builders of a new champion—proud for the Santa Fo Railroad which has a new technological tri« umph to offer its passengers between Chicago and the West i
