(By The Associated Press) Bidwell Says Hemisphere Intervention Means No Isolationism, Council Head Declares By HARRY M. KELSEY "We cannot frame a policy which will adequately protect our interests in this hemisphere which does not involve open and continuous par- ticipation in world affairs," Dr. Percy W. Bidwell, director of studies of the Council of Foreign Relations, stated in his lecture yesterday for the Graduate Study Program in Pub- lic Policy in a World at War. "Actually," Dr. Bidwell pointed out, "the United States cannot be inter- ventionist as respects Latin America The last lecture of the Public Policy series, to have been given today by Prof. Edward Meade Earle of Princeton University, has been cancelled because of Profes- sor Earle's illness. and at the same time isolationist as respects Europe and the Far East." Proof of this, Dr. Bidwell indicated, can be found in the "galvanic effect of Hitler's victories in Europe early last summer upon our policies in this hemisphere. We felt ourselves threatened by the world-shaking events across the Atlantic. For the moment the threat was indirect. We were not menaced by the prospect of an immediate attack on our shores. The danger lay in a more vulnerable part of the hemisphere, in South America." We cannot defend the hemisphere by a hemispheric policy, Dr. Bidwell asserted. "No effective Latin Ameri- can policy is possible outside the (Continued on Page 3) Railroad Union Accepts Board CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-(/P)--Nineteen railroad labor organizations embrac- ing approximately 1,200,000 workers today accepted the services of the National Railway Mediation Board in their wage dispute with the na- BERLIN, Aug. 12.- German troops stormed forward to the shores of the Black Sea today, hemming in large Russian forces in the Odessa area and making the Red Army's posi- tion in the Ukraine virtually unten- able, German military sources de- clared tonight. They did not disclose where the sea was reached, but earlier Ger- man, Italian and Slovak forces were reported moving down both banks of the Bug River, and it appeared they had followed that stream southward toward Nikolaev, port of the Bug estuary 70 miles northeast of Odessa. Russians Cut Off Since German and Rumanian troops have stood for weeks on the Dniester River south and west of Odessa, the drive down the Bug has virtually closed all land escape for the Russians at both Odessa and Ochakov, 40 miles east of Odessa, it was said. The Russians were described as hastening to try to withdraw what troops they could by sea, and DNB said six Russian transportsshad been sunk by bombers off Odessa. Soviet Forces 'Sit Tight' Other Russian forces were said to be still sitting tight in "a small area" to the eastward in the big bend of the Dniester River, which swingsI southeastward from Kiev and then cuts back southwest to empty into the Black Sea. The broad-flowing Dnieper itself was portrayed as under control of German weapons below Kiev, making Russian traffic along it virtually im- possible. DNB said German gunfire sank three gunboats in the lower Dnieper Sunday and Monday and that 27,000 tons of Soviet shipping had been destroyed there. Meanwhile Moscow reported Soviet defenders battling desperately today to stem German rushes into the Ukraine, where the outcome of fight- ing was obscure. The early morning communique said there was nothing important to report from the front. It was the first time since the war began that a communique failed to mention the areas in which fighting occurred. Torpedo Boats.Destroyed The communique asserted the Red air force cooperated with land troops attacking German motorized and mechanized units and infantry. It also reported the destruction Monday of four German torpedo boats and two transports by the Baltic fleet. Russian fliers were credited with destruction of 41 planes as compared with a loss of 34 in air fighting Sun- day. Final results of Monday night's German raid on Moscow showed the Germans lost two planes, the com- munique said.

Japan Plans Mobilization Near Siam Manuila Reports Nipponese roop Will Enter Thai To Meet British Forces By FRANK L. MARTIN MANILA, Aug. 12.-(OP)-The Jap- anese High Command is planning to place 180,000 troops in French Indo- China, the majority of them in West Cambodia adjoining the border of Thailand, it was learned authorita- tively tonight. Foreign observers agree the Jap- anese will enter Thailand when they are organized and prepared to, meet British troops now stationed in Bur- ma and British Malaya along the west and northwestern Thai border." The number of troops the Japan- ese are reported planning to move into Indo-China is far greater than has previously been mentioned. It was announced officially by the French Indo-China government July 30 that under last month's agree- ment with Tokyo the Japanese would move only 40,000 troops into south- ern Indo-China to occupy military bases granted Japan on its demand. In northern Indo-China the Jap- anese last September were given per- mission to garrison 6,000 troops, but the number later was swollen to 38.000 -actually there. Then the northern forces were decreased. I arrived in Manila from Indo- China aboard a vessel carrying 55 American evacuees, a majority of whom are missionaries. The Ameri- cans felt Japanese control of Indo- China had eliminated the possibility of future religious and business ac- tivities in the French colony. Indo-China has been completely occupied by the Japanese army-, which controls all transpor'tation fa- cilities and all internal communica- tions and navigation at Indo-China's principal ports. Prof. Menefee To Lecture O in St rsLawrence Project Engineering and economic aspects has+1 p rev -Aus+yTben entio-Cnd.".I WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-()--By the breath-taking margin of a single vote, the House tonight passed the Army Service Extension Bill. With the chamber tense and hushed, Speaker Rayburn announced the result as 203 to 202 for the meas- ure. Rep. Short (Rep.-Mo.), from the Republican committee table, imme- diately demanded a recapitulation, which Rayburn granted. The reca- pitulation, a form of recount, showed the same result. In its final form, the bill called for an eighteen-month extension of the service of draftees, National Guards- men, Reservists rand army enlisted personnel. Service Bonus Granted It also would grant a $10 bonus for each month spent in the army be- yond 12. In addition it removed the limitation of 900,000 upon the num- ber of draftees who may be simul- taneously in the army. All these provisions were included in the bill passed by the Senate last week. The measure is now expected to go to a Senate-House conference committee which will iron out minor differences in the legislation as it passed the two chambers. Under the usual Congressional rules, matter ap- proved by both houses cannot be stricken from the bill in conference. Service Extended 18 Months Early in today's fight the House had accepted the Senate's provision extending the active service of army personnel for 18 months. The provision, sponsored by ad- ministration leaders, took the form of an amendment to the bill which originally called for an indefinite ex- tension of service. The amendment went through on a voice vote after the rejection of a proposal that the additional service be confined to six months. This proposal, offered by Rep. Hinshaw (Rep.-Calif.), was re- jected 97 to 61. Short Amendment Killed The first test came on an amend- ment by Rep. Short (Rep.-Mo.) elim- inating from the resolution a decla- ration that "the national interest is imperiled" by events abroad. The amendment, which also provided the extended service of selectees should be on a voluntary rather than a com- pulsory basis, was rejected by a teller vote of 185 to 146. The balloting followed party lines almost exclusively. When a division vote was called for prior to the final teller ballot on the issue, members on the Republican side stood up vir- tually en masse in support of the amendment. Patrick Toohey To Talk Today Patrick Toohey, state secretary of the Communist party in Michigan, will speak at 8 p.m. today in the Union under the auspices of the Karl Marx Society on "The World Front Against Hitler." Mr. Toohey has traveled extensively and lived in the Soviet Union and has been a leading labor organizer for many years in the coal mining and steel areas of this country. In his talk Mr. Toohey will stress the for- eign policy of the United States, the character of the war, the Marxian analysis of the world scene and the dangers of a second Munich today. Following the talk a question and answer period will be held in which everyone will be encouraged to par- ticipate.

Strother. professor of speech pathology and clinical psy- chology at the State University of Iowa, lectured at 9 a.m. in the W. K. Kellogg auditorium on "Present Trends in Research in Speech Path- ology."
