veloped late yesterday.
House leaders reiterated their i'm
patience with Secretary of War Baker
Tor his failure to take them into his

difference of opinion developed be-
tween Representative Dent, now
chairman Of the House Military At
fairs Committee, and Senator Cham
berlain. chairman of the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee. Representa-
tive Dent has announced his opposi-
ton to any new army legislation at
the present session beyond appropri-
ating for the army and the militia at
their present strength and equipment.
Senator Chamb erlain. backed by Sem
ator Borah. Republican leader, Is de-
termined TO secure the repeal of that
part of the national defense act Fed
eralizing the militia. Both Senators
will throw their influence behind a
measure to provide universal com
pulsory military service. similar to the
Swiss system The National Guard
would be wiped out by such legisla-
ton.
Senator Borah declared the entire
idea of a Federalized National Guard
Is failure and has been proved to
be such by the mobilization on the
Mexican border. Mr.. Dent and his
followers believe that the Federaliza-
ton scheme has not yet been given a
fair chance. Secretary Bakers ap-
pearance at the Capitol is awaited
with keen interest, as It will develop
at once whether he is to throw his
influence to either branch Of Con-
gress or to OPPOSE both.
