WOODRING ADMITS
ARMY is INADEQUATE
Grave Deficiency
In Equipment
Stressed

The grave deficiencies in
trained personnel and equipment
of the Army for adequate defense
of the United States were admit
ted in the annual report of Secre-
tary of War Harry H. Woodring.
While dwelling upon the progress
made in the last five years in the
reorganization and reequipment of
the Army and the formulation of
plans to step up production of
Army material by private industry
in time of war, the secretary con-
CURED in the report of Gen. Malin
Craig, chief of staff, which de-
tailed the deficiencies in per
sonnet, infantry, and artillery
arms and aircraft.
MUST BE CORRECTED"
II would be remiss," said
Woodring, did I leave the i'm
preston that we now have a
completely modernized and thor
oughly efficient defensive eStab-
liShment.
There remain deficiencies
in organization, equipment,
and personnel which must be
corrected before we can be as
sured of maintenance of a mill
tary force fully adequate for our
defensive needs"
MOBILIZATION PLAN
Under the existing program of
land defense, known as the PRO
tective mobilization plan of 1887"
the country would rely upon an
initial force of 100000 men to re-
pei an enemy. This force is COM
posed of the following:
Regular Army, 1865, 1000.
National Guard, 205, 900.
Enlisted reserve, 10000.
The program calls for the ex-
pansion of this initial protective
force upon the outbreak of war
into as large an army of the
United States as the situation
might demand.

Even though Mr.. Roosevelt says
nothing this afternoon, observers
agreed that he already had well
dramatized the American position
by summoning the two ambasso-
doris to Warm Springs for an over
head conference.
Many thousands of words have
gone over the press wires. not
only from Warm Springs, but from
Washington, specializing on the
full import of the Presidents lat
est gesture against totalitarian
abuse of minorities.

New York, July 12.-Scratch an art faddist and you may find Master in the background.
 A while ago, young French man named Berpard LaMotte evoked chuckles from canvas con- noisseurs here when he took to painting portraits with various shades of lipstick and eyebrow pen- cils, rather than with the usual oils and turpentine. Had quite a fashionable clientele, too for with cosmetics as his tools, he executed pictures of Tamara, Gloria Wander bilt, Lady Furness, Leonora Corona and other notable ladies. Later, these portraits were assembled into fashionable gallery show.
 The art conservatives, though, drowned upon such unruly antics and gave young LoMotte the horse laugh for pursuing his art career with rouge. But it seems that La Mote has the last laugh now. News comes from France that he is the youngest artist over there to have had a painting accepted by the Luxembourg Museum.

 Public enemies, for whom things haven't been too comfortable lately, will learn just how unlucky they are when they read Men Against Crime" by Henry Lysing. This book, published the other day, is an ex- citing account of the G-Men's re- lentless war on crime. Incidentally, 1t reveals that J. Edgar Hoover ori- ginally intended to be clergyman. Gave it up, though, when he decided that evil needed to be combatted more drastically than in the pulpit. The Answer Complete
 Jimmy "Schnozzola" Durante is back on Broadway (where he be- longs) and as head man of the vaudeville show at the Casa Mana no, he is the same one-man mirth- quske he used to be before the movies swallowed him whole. The volatile Jimmy with the three-mast- ed nose still throws the props around at innocent bystanders and manages to miss them all, and he still is talking the most ungram- matical English heard east of Tenth Avenue.

 Declarer rightly finessed the dia- mond queen, which held the first trick. However, needless of the aouble, which probably located spade strength, he now took a spade fin- esse, and of course the contract was defeated.

 Broadway Wit
 Faithful Benno was standing around the cashiers cage of a cinema palace along Broadway the other day, and now he knows why the pretty ladies who work in the boxcff1ce turn gray at an early age.
 Here are some of the bright say- ings Benno overheard, and he's sure they're original with about 9787 customers each day:
 I'm not sure whether saw one of the pictures. Can I go in for two minutes? I'll come right out" . :. T saw one picture. Why won't you take half, so that I can see the other one?" Heres IS cents.

The second picture was terrible!"
 
 Namesake
 Down south there is a gentleman who is the proud owner of the prize calf in his Dixie region. After the calf had received his thirteenth blue ribbon, the owner decided that his fine animal ought to be named for some celebrity. And he picked Jessica Dragonette, who long was one of his radio favorites.
 He wrote to her, remarking that her name appealed to him, but that before christening the calf, he would like an opportunity to meet her and assure himself that he was doing right by his stripling live stock.
 So Miss Dragonette invited the strange requester to New York and he made the trip north and survived the charming lady and decided that she met blue ribbon standards. A week later he wired from the southat the calf was now officially known as Jessica Drag onette. Miss D. thought the occa- sion called for an appropriate token. Whereupon she secured the depart ment stores for an ornamental cow bell and had no luck. She finally had to order one from a mail order house and sent it along, with her compliments, to her four-footed namesake.
