This SWaStika Is in the Army
 But Not Wanted

DENVER, June "A German started something when he walked up to a Colorado national guards man who was wearing a swastika emblem, gave the Nazi salute and asked:
 T didn't know there were Nazi organizations in ttese United States. Where can I join one?'
 The guardsman was indignant because the swastika on his shoul- der had nothing to do with Herr Hitler. It is the emblem of the 45th Division in Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona.
 But for the United States gov ernment, the swastika would have been bucking bronco with a back ground of Rocky Mountains. When the 45th was organized just after the war it's officers submitted the bronco emblem to the war depart ment, which rejected it because 1t appeared to be too complicated to make in cloth, They decided upon the swastika.
 50 this historical emblem has nothing to do with Hitler and ante dates him many years. said Colo nel Paul Newton, former adjutant general, after the officers of the 45th became worried because of growing complaints from the pub lie against the swastika.
 The present adjutant general, Alphonse P. Ardourel, said he will ask Washington army officials to change the emblem.
 The Nazi swastika is worn cooked one-quarter turn farther to the right than the one worn by the 45th Division guardmen, it was pointed out
 The way ours is turned denotes good luck, not violence" said Brig. Gen. William E. Guthner, com mading officer of the division. He { likewise wants it abolished.

READ BUT NOT APPROVED

Congressmen who would like to see Secretary Ickes in charge of spending the proposed pump -prim- ing money seem to have their own way of talking it up. Ever since the issue developed as to whether Ickes or somebody else would spend the new pump-priming money, the Con- gressional Record has been spotted with tabulations of PWA projects approved but needing money to get started.
 Presumably they would share in the priming money-if Ickes should be chosen to spend it. In three ran- dom copies of the Record we spot ted tabulations of such approved projects in Florida, Rhode Island,
