|KRAC RIFLES
 JUST MEMORY

Washington--(UP)-Th rifles which inspired that lusty Philip pine campaign ballad, "Clvilize 'em with q Krag" are but q memory in the Army now, Maj Gen Samuel Hof, chief of ordnance, revealed in his annual report. .n
 These rifles were used extensively at the time of the Spanish-Afneri- can war and Philippine campaign. At'the close of the World war the Army still had 135,000. But Hof says all but 1000 have been loaned or sold to individuals or veterans organizations and school, the 2,000 are not in use.
 The ordnance corps, Hof'a report showed, has devoted much time during the last year to studying ways of making the army inde- pendent of foreign materials in war time. < The ordnance corps also has found by experiments that cotton bags, instead of imported silk, may be used as powder containers in shells flor all weapons except nna- jor caliber guns and minor howitz- ars."

New York, Dec. = President Hoover is urged to resign and put pregident-eiect Roosevelt in office, in an editorial declaration to be published tomorrow by Golfers Weekly
 gThe nation needs leadership now" explained William l.. Chen cry, of the publication. obvious ly a defeated president cannot lead. He can. however, shorten the in- terregnurn.
 '.sixtecn years ago President Wilson intended to resign, in the event of defeat, after appointing MT. Hughes secretary of state, thus putting Mir. Hughes into the presi- dental office immediately. MT. Wilson's victory made this drastic step unnecessary.
 sThe problems confronting the nation are more serious even than those which MT. Wilson faced in 1016. President Hoover would add mightily to his own personal pres- tige by calling upon Governor Roosevelt to assume the burden of offlce immediately. Such an act of recommendation would be unprecedefl- ted but 1t would be justified by the emergency.
 ''MeanwhiIe. the most effective stop which the presidei1t-elect hini- self can, take is to announce With out delay the names of the mem bers of his cabinet. Mr. Roosevelt needs the aid of the ablest and most public-spirited citizens of the republic. Now as never before the office must seek the man and not the man the off1ce. PArtisansfip must be entirely ignored. Governor Roosevelt was elected by repuhii- cans as well as democrats. He would do well by his country to draft republicans as well as dem ocrats for his cabinet.
 "Governor Lowden as secretary of agriculture would be an ideal appointment. He is a republican, but no man in the country is bet ter able to administer agricultural policies. Roosevelt's other appoint ments should include Newton D, Baker as secretary of state, owen D, Young or Melvin Trayl0r for the treasury, John w. Davis for attor- ney general, Governor Ritchie for the merger war and navy depart ments, Bernard M. Bnruch for the department of commerce. and Al. fred F. Smith for the department

WRITES BOOK ON
 WAR MEMORIES

Paris - (UP) = General Max Weygand has published his me- moires of the World War armis- tice to complicates still more the already great list of books writ ten by the leaders of the war. In this volume, "Le IT Novembre," {" General Weygand treats not only of the armistice, but of Foch, Clemenceau and Joffre war me- moirs, for the new Academician strives more for literary effect than for military criticism.
 The book tells simply and with out hostility the story of the Ger mans surrender, in his preface he terms 1t "a story which was lived. hour by hour, during days now historically immortal which brought, after four years of bloody conflict, the equalization of cor nered enemy"
 Tn the four chapters devoted to Foch, Clemenceau, Pethin and Polncare, General Weygahd leads each chapter with q quotation from the war memoirs of that famous quartet. He is laudatory of hts military master, Foch; fair in hie praise of Poincare and Petain and not unkind towards "Tiger" Clenn. enceau. If
