WASHINGTON, July 23.—Admit-
ting the action “significant,” Preai-
dant Rossevclt announced in a press
that a radio and cable
lip had been imposed in
Japan. Reports from around the
glebe hare affirmed this announce-
ment and all Indications lead to the
beHaf that the Japanese Are prepar-
ing a southward drive into French
Iade-Chiaa. *
From Vichy in unoccupied France,
came reports that negotiations on
Franch-Indo China were in progress
with the Tokyo government, induc-
ing a general belief that the latter
had presented eweeping demands for
uraemic and military concessions.
At the same time, the Paris news-
paper Lee Nouveau, spokesman for
supporters t€ ffVsnch collaboration
with Germany, urged that France
work with Japan for the protection of
Indo-China, last France lots that ter-
ritory altogether.
In Tokyo the newspapers started
a furore over Indo-China and Thail-
and (Siam) and the Dutch East In-
dies as well. They charged that

Senator Taft Urges
Extending Army
Service 4 Months
WASHINGTON. July 23.—SubetU
tuting a plan for President Roose-
velt’s recommendation to Congress
Monday to pass legislation retaining
selectees, guardsmen and reservists
for more than the specified year,
Senator Taft of Ohio Tuesday pro-
posed to keep them on active duty for
16 months instead of the present 12.
Little or no other action than Sena-
tor Taft’s has been made in Congress.
Taft said that his proposal would
result in an army of 1,943,000 offi-
cers and men by next Jan. 1. Under
the plan, he added, the army would
have a force of 1,272.000 trained
officers and men at all times, while
<76,000 always would be undergoing
training.
Taft said that while selecteeF em-
ployers’ might be willing to keep
their jobs open for them for a 16-
month period, it was unlikely that
the positions could be kept available
for an indefinite time.
Taft submitted his proposal to the
military committee after a series

It’s Now Sheppard
Lake and No Fishing
Until June 1942
In addition to changing the name
of Possum Kingdom Lake and dam
to Sheppard Lake and Sheppard dam%
after the late U. S. Senator Morris
Sheppard, the Brasos River Board at
a meeting Monday in Mineral Wells,
placed a ban on fishing in the lake
until June 1, 1942.
Under a law recently passed by
the State Legislature the big lake
comes under control and jurisdiction
of the State Game, Fish and Oyster
Commission and is being stocked as
rapidly as possible so as to make it
an ideal fishing mnd recreational
•Pot. _
It Is not known at this time wheth-
er the Possum Kingdom State Park
will have its name changed to Shep-
pard Park, Considerable opposition
was expressed in Graham to the
change in the lake name, since much
valuable information and advertising
under that name has been had
throughout the Southwest. The name
of the fair at Graham was also re-
cently changed to Possum Kingdom
Fair.
L. Minims of Waco, president of
the Board of Directors of the Brasov
River Conservation and Reclamation
District has issued the following
statement concerning the action of
the Board relative to fishing and
recreational activities at the lake:
‘In accordance with the provisions
of the law passed by the Forty-Sev-
enth Legislature, Senate Bill'No. 463,
Possum Kingdom Lake is declared
closed for all fishing. It is expected
that the lake ‘will be closed until
June 1, 1942. No fishing will be al-
lowed until proper notice of the open-
ing of the lake has been published,
and then under regulations to be pre-
scribed by the State Game, Fish and
Oyster Commission.
“Under protection of the State
Game, Fish and Oyster Commission
this lake is expected to become one
of the best fishing places in the
State. The creation of a large State
park embracing some thirty-five
miles of the shore line of the west-
i part of the lake will provide
ample space for the people to enjoy
the recreational features afforded by
one of the State's most magnificent
beauty spots.
‘The proceeds from the license fees
prescribed in Senate Bill No. 463 will
be used by the State Game, Fish and
Oyster Commission in developing and
improving the 'fishing facilities so
those’that pay the license fee will
realize that the money is being put

Second Straight Night
MAN KNOCKED
IN HEAD AT
PUMP STATION
A man, who gave his name as Pat
Murphy, Bryson, underwent treat-
iments in a local clinic this morning
for a bead injury received, he claims,
late Tuesday night when he was
knocked in the head by an unknown
man at the City Pump Station.
Murphy says he was at the pump
station about 11 o’clock when another
man, described as being about five
feet, eight inches tali, weighing about
140 pounds, and having grey hair,
came up to him, and offered him a
drink of whiskey. Taking a little
drink, the two men sat down, Murphy
says, and the next thing he knew he
was waking up just after daybreak
this morning covered with blood and
with a bad bump on the left side of
his head.
He also claims that he had $12.65
in his pocket when he went to the
pump station, but could not find *it
this morning.
City police found him. after a re-
port had been phoned in, at the sta-
tion this morning between 8:30 and
10 o’clock and brought him to town
for treatment. He is being held in
the city jail for further questioning.
The man claims he is employed by
the Arp Boiler Works at Bobstown,
two miles east of Bryson.
For the second time in 24 hours,
Nazi bombers attacked Moscow Tues-
day night, but the Russians claim
that due to their stubborn resistance,
the 150 war planes never reached the
heart of their capital city. •
“Only isolated planes broke
through to the city,” said the com-
munique. It reported that several
fires which broke out in dwellings
were extinguished by fire brigades.
Earlier a German broadcast heard
in London reported that many air-
men were over Moscow “dropping
bombs and causing more fires and
destruction.”
Moscow reported scores killed and
wounded and several homes- and a
hospital damaged severely. For the
second successive night a Russian
communique said only a relative few
of the attacking planes actually
broke through the city’s defenses—
night fighter patrols and heavy anti-
aircraft barrages.
Graham has pledged 460 additional
housing units, if needed for a Nation-
al Defense project that may be lo-
cated in this vicinity, according to
• report made by Glenn Burgess,
Chamber of Commerce secretary, fol-
lowing a mass meeting in Graham
Tuesday morning. This assurance
was given to the Ordnance Division
of the U. S. War Department Tues-
day night, with the promise that
probably another 40 pledges for
housing units will be added, to bring
the total up to 509, Burgess declared.
The towns in the area around Pos-
sum Kingdom lake, (name now
changed to Sheppard lake) have
pledged a total of 1500 additional
housing units. The drive was made
Tuesday in Graham, Mineral Wells
and Breckenridge. And in Strewn
and Graford Monday.
Burgess is anxious that others fur-
nish him signed letters immediately,
promising to build an apartment or
house for additional housing units if
the Government should locate
fense project in this vicinity.
