GEN. SCOTT RENEWSP[EA
FOR UNIVERSAL TRAINING
Head Of Army Reiterates Belief
Militia System Would Not Meet
Needs of War.

At final hearings today of the Senate
military subcommittee on the Cham
berlain universal military training bill
Gen. Scott. chief OF staff. reiterated his
support of legislation for such general
service. Under cross-examination by
Senator Lee of Maryland Cen Scott
said that while the National Guard
system could be made to show i'm
proved results, such results would still
be insufficient for national defense in
time of war The Swiss service plan
was said by Gen. Scott to be untried
and improved as to efficiency in war.
ut does not give sufficient training
fer war purposes" he said. declaring
it's duat control feature is the same
basic fault as exists in the United
States National Guard system.
1.-THE regular army has struggled with
the National Guard system for fifteen
years and has done it's best to make
it efficient" said Gen. Scott. Under
the new natio4al defense act l have
used all my POWER to make the system
succeed. No effort has been omitted"
When Senator Lee asked If leader
ship more in sympathy with the present
policy would not bring better results
Cen Scott said that ''in good faith"
the best efforts had been put forth.
Even with more pay to guardsmen.
Gen Scott said, the system is funda-
mentally defective.
81 understand a jority of the Ma
tionaI Guard on the border are going
to refuse,to take the dual oath of serv-
ice" said Gen. Scott. Il can't feel hope
full for a system like that The men
say they have been called upon for
enough sacrifices that ought to be more
evenly distributed"
With the present dual control plan,
Cen Scott asserted, Congress is pow
erless to enforce discipline and drills
upon the state troops.
Regarding Cen Woods testimony
yesterday that, during the recent mill
tia nobiliza ton, the War Department
supply system had "fallen down." Gen.
Scott said:

COST OF LIVING PROBE
IS GOING ON RAPIDLY
Twelve Young Women Working To-
day in Northeastern and South
eastern Sections of City.

Statistics gathering on the cost of
living in the District progressed today
in the northeast and southeast sections
of the city, where the twelve young
woman agents of the bureau of labor
statistics are at work today.
Following the all-morning conference
with DR.. Royal Meeker, chief of the
bureau, yesterday, the agents started
out imm ediately on their rounds. Each
agent has a certain number of assign
ments to get from the northeast and
southeast sections.
When these assignments are COM
nleted the agents will be given assign
ments in some other section of the
city. 1t is probable that the next sec
ton to be visited by the agents will
be the southwest. 1t was stated at that
bureau of labor statistics today that
no specific time could at present be
set when the agents, or Il number of
them. would be sent into the south
west section of the city.
DR.. Meeker Goes to Trenton.
DR.. Meeker. following the conference
yesterday with the agents conducting
the investigation. during which the
chief Strengthened out many problems
for the young women which they have
met in the course OF the Work, lett Tor
Trenton, n. j., on other work Of the
bureau.
1t was suggested last week that prob
ably it would be wise plan for the
bureau to let the residents of a particu-
ar section of the city know exactly
what time they might look for the
agents to visit their section of the city.
This procedure. it was pointed out by
those who made the suggestion, might
have the result of getting housewives
to prepare their books and budgets and
have all ready in advance for the COM
ing of the agents.
The plan has received the attention of
the officials of the bureau of labor sta
tistics, but no action has been taken
on the matter as yet.
