DERN SAYS ARMY
AIR DEFENSE POOR
Needs 1000 More Planes and

Adequate Force.

PORTLAND, Greg, August s.
Secretary George H. Dern declared
yesterday the Army needs 1000 more
airplanes and that Panama Canal
defenses should be bolstered by $500
additional troops, new anti-aircraft
guns and more squadrons of airplanes.
Secretary Dern, who will meet Pres
ident Roosevelt here today, arrived by
train from an inspection trip to the
Canal Zone.
THE Panama Canal is very strongly
defended in so far as coast artillery
is concerned, but it needs great
many more of the latest type of anti
aircraft guns" he told newspaper
men.
"The aircraft have developed so
rapidly that the planes can get by the
guns before the old type can reach
them. These guns will have to be
properly placed SO they can defend
the canal from air attacks from any
angle And if properly placed. they
can do very fine work.
'I would say at least 5000 addi-
tional officers and men should be sent
there now and more could be used IN
the zone if they could be spared for
that service"

|WAREXPERTSHAN
NEW AIR DEFENSE.
Survey Shows Present De-
tense Plan Inadequate
for Enemy Attack.

Copyright 1884 by the Associated Press.
The War Department has per-
fected a $4,000, 900 plan TO encircle
the United States with anti-aircraft
defenses.
The plans viii be laid before the
next session Of Congress. They call
for the newest thing in anti-aircraft
guns. searchlights and fire control
equipment for:
/. Eight regular Army regiments.
2. Seven National Guard regiments
3. Nineteen inactive regular Army
regiments.
The disclosure follows studies by
War Department experts. who called
American anti-aircraft defenses in
adequate.
Secretary Of War Dern, as a result
OF recent inspection, is described as
feeling that the Panama Canal is
seriously lacking In defense against
enemy aircraft.
Army men are moving to
strengthen their air forces also. The
Air Corps has submitted a program
TO buy about 1000 planes to bring
its feet up to the 2,340 urged by the
Newton d. Baker Investigating Board
The General Staff's approval is ex-
pected soon.
Congress has the say about pro-
viding the money. Although the pro-
gram is designated for 1886, 1t Is not
expected that more than 500 planes
will be purchased that fiscal year.
That, with other purchases already
planned for the interim, would give
the Army 300 serviceable planes.
At present the United States has
four skeletonized anti aircraft or
ganizations in this country, and four
in Panama, Hawaii and the Philip
pines. The War Department would
bring those units to full strength and
equipment The National Guard or
ganizations also are described as
'woefully lacking in modern equip
ment."
Equipment necessary includes:
Three-inch guns to combat bonn
bardment and observation planes at
high attitudes. They would have
vertical ranges of $4,000 feet and
would fire 25 shots per minute.
.50-inch machine guns to combat
speedy, low-hying planes. They
would fire 500 projectiles per minute,
veritable curtain of bullets.
Fire control equipment to make
sure guns score bulls-eyes on rapidly
flying targets.
Searchlight units of 800 900. 900
candle power, with power plants and
means for locating aircraft before the
lights are turned on.
Last year the War Department
tried unsuccessfully to secure $33,325,
600 from P. w. A. for the purpose. II
is understood now efforts will be made
to get the money from P. w. A. or
Congress.

cluding the claim that they might in

their cases postponed on several oc-

my advice to young men is that If
you differ with fellow citizen, talk
1t out with him to his face, and do
not show your disapproval by an act
committed in the shadows Of night"

That stunned the Russians. They
are almost as sensitive automatically
as the japanese. Such discrimination
against them would ordinarily be
considered an afIront. They came
into the State Department on the run.
There State Secretary Hull greeted
them with his best poker face. He
said and repeated twice that he had
not read Mr.. Peek's announcement
either before or after it was written.
He left the impression that he was,
perhaps. angry that Mr.. Peek had
acted without informing him.

PLAN IS APPROVED
Industry FavorS Creation of
Planning and Adjustment
Board.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The newsprint industry expressed
approval at a public hearing today Of
an exclusively N r. A. proposal" for
creation of newsprint planning and
adjustment board with authority over
prices and supply.
Edgar Rickard, chairman Of the
Newsprint Code Authority, spoke for
the industry after Bainbridge Colby
and Elisha Hanson, speaking for the
American Newspaper Publishers As
sociation, opposed the plan as monop-
olistic.
Held Violation of Decree.
Hanson contended the proposal vio-
lated a 1917 Federal court decree
"perpetually" enjoining price fixing
and other antitrust law violations
and asserted the whole matter"
should be referred to Attorney Gen.
eral Cummings for investigation.
D. H. Tulley, deputy N. r. a. ad-
ministrator, called the hearing to give
publishers "a last crack at the plan
before 1t goes TO Hugh s. Johnston.
The proposal would create q COM
mittee of nine, three from the news
print industry, three representing
newspaper publishers, one labor rep
resentatiVe from each industry and a
distinterested administration member
The boards authority would extend
to prices and the supply of newsprint
and would be subject to review by

"The recommendations Of the News

differ only from the previous docu-
ment submitted at a public hearing
on February ] by the inclusion Of an
exclusively N. r. A. proposal providing
for the creation of a newsprint PLAN
ming and adjustment board.
Submitted to Joint Farley.
"This major and important addition
to the recommendations was sub
mitted TO a joint conference of the
Newsprint Code Authority, representa-
tives of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association, presidents Of
paper mill unions and public officials
of the State of Maine.
"The Newsprint Code Authority ac-
cepted the N. r. A. suggestions for
the creation of this board and has
approved the functions assigned to the
board The inclusion Of these sug-
gestions neceSsitated eliminations and
adjustments in the wording of the
recommendations in order to harmon
ize other provisions of the plan to
create this board.
In effect, the Planning Board pro-
vides for the joint discussion between
producer and consumer which the
news print manufacturers voluntarily
proposed in June, 1888. and which
proposal was rejected by the pub
lishers."
Rickard did not 90 into the merits
of the proposal, but referred N. r. A.
to testimony submitted September 6,
February l and February 13.
Monopoly Charged.
Hanson, counsel of the A. N. p. A.,
said the plan sought ito create a
monopoly of the United States mar
ket for the benefit of Canadian and
United States manufacturers Of news
print paper"
"I submit" he said, 'that the time
has come when the N. r. A., instead
of listening further to their pleas to
cloak their illegal acts with admins
trative sanction, should refer their
case to the Attorney General for ap-
propriate action"
