NO NEW UNITS IN ARMY
SAYS WOODRlNG

ring announced that the Army increase
would total 1900 men, raising the
enlisted strength to $4,000 men, the
figure, which under law, the army
would have attained by July l, 1910.
This increase, the Secretary ex-
planned, is designed for the sole pur-
pose of strengthening our protective
land forces in view of existing world
conditions" and also to offset the de-
crease in troops stationed in the United
States caused by the transfer of troops
to Puerto Rico and the Panama Canal
Zone.
The increased strength authorized
by the President, said Mr.. Woodring,
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1939-09-23

will be attained by normal voluntary
enlistments as rapidly as possible.
In accordance with the executive
order, Mr.. Woodring stated, the en-
listed ranks of existing active units of
he National Guard may be raised at
The discretion of the governors of the
respective States from 100000 to 1885,
900. This increase will permit the en-
~ollment of $4,000 enlisted men in the
National Guard.
There are about 1855 colored en-
listed men in the regular army and less
than 1000 colored enlisted men in the
National Guard.

as a special occasion for our group,
Californians, like many other groups,
do not welcome such an event with
appreciation, as it usually carries a
streak of race animosity. However a
program was given in the Federal
Recreation Building in the afternoon
and a dance and floor show was the
attraction in the evening at the audi
forum of the Hall of Western States,
with the music of Saunders King
orchestra. Much California talent was
presented by glee clubs, and other
organizations, as well as night club
folk.

THE DIFFERENCE

A great many New Dealers, when
confronted with the failure of their
economic experiments to bring back
prosperity, like to alibi themselves by
referring to the depression during the
Hoover administration. Yet there is
a great deal of difference. When
Hoover was President the entire world
went to economic disaster and he bat
tied increasingly against rising tide.
The Roosevelt recession came when
conditions in the rest of the world
were getting better.
Furthermore, Hoover had to battle
with an unfriendly Congress. Every
act he proposed was willingly viewed
with suspicion by majority in Con-
gress politically hostile and it was m

over reports of Irregularities. The
Senate Campaign Investigating Com
mittee, though made up largely of
Democrats, has unearthed evidence so
damaging and so conclusive that it
cannot be ignored.
With the election over, any inquiry
may seem to be a case of locking the
stable door after the horse is stolen.
But in this instance, the nation must
not let bygones be bygones. The free
dom of the ballot is at stake and this
is am issue of surprising Importance
to every American. So long as any
group of people is not at liberty to
vote as it pleases and so long as some
men think it is their right to put polit-
zeal pressure on other men, just so
long are democratic processes men
aced. ~.
That there was wrong-doing in both
the primaries and elections of 1888 is
all too clear. 1t is hardly an exagger-
alton to say that in some states, nota-
bly, Pennsylvania and Kentucky, the
matter reached the proportions of ac-
tual scandal. When WPA workers were
'bludgeoned into changing their regis
.tration from Republican to Democrat
ic OF are required to make campaign
contributions as the price of holding
their jobs situation is created which
the whole country must face. To per-
NIT it to continue is to risk the posi-
bility of utterly corrupt politics and a
bought electorate.
Whether a Congressional inquiry
will unearth the whole dirty truth is,
of course, question. Many witnesses,
with real stories to tell, will be afraid
to give testimony. Then again, some
of the Investigators are bound to be
blind partisans and will do all they can
to keep the New Deal from being
stained. But Congress seems to be the
! only competent body to undertake the
fstudy and we can but hope, first, that
it will be willing to do the job, and
!. second, that the job will be done with
a fine regard fofethe public interest.

possible for him freely to employ any
policy without having it doctored be-
fore it went into effect. The case with
President Roosevelt is quite different.
The Jewell County, Kansas, Republi-
can summed it up we'll recently in dis
cussing the recent elections when ii
declared:
"No President ever had so fair a
chance to bring prosperity as Franklin
D. Roosevelt. Backed by almost every
state, given a rubber stamp Congress,
supplied with all the money he could
spend, give away and throw away, he
utterly failed to bring the abundant
life or anything that remotely re-
sehbled it. He made speeches. that
were simply wonderful, but political
party cannot live on speeches alone.
So that is how it happened"
Here is the difference. Hoover
fougth a rising tide of world depres
sion and hostile Congress, yet in the
middle of 1882 things were on the
mend. Roosevelt basked in popular
adulation and the smiles of rubber
stamp Congress and we still havc
100000 unemployed. Draw your
own conclusions as to the causes of
the November election turn.

BOOK MAKES NAVIGATION
In THE AIR "FOOLPROOF"
Volume Is Written By Lt.-COm.
P. V. H. Weems, USN, Retired,
A Frequent Visitor Here
TO GO TO ARMY filters

The first copies of a little red book
that will make the United States Army
Air Corps probably the best equipped
air force in the world as far as naviga-
ton is concerned, came off Baltimore
press recently and were shipped to
Washington.
The book is the work of Lieutenant
Commander P. V. H. Weems, U. S. N.
(retired), is called "Star Altitude
Curves" and although it looks to a
layman like nothing more than flock
of vari-colored lines and curves, it is
guaranteed to enable an aviator to hit
any airport right on the button any
night he can see star or two.
Commander Weems, who lives in
Annapolis, and who is one of the
worlds foremost authorities on navi-
cation by air and sea, has been work
ing on the star altitude business since
before 1928. He figured there should
be some way for an aviator to find out
where he was quickly, and he worked
out star attitudes.
Commander Weems is a frequent
visitor at the Garey-Winslow Boys
Camp on Deep Creek Lake during the
summer months.
Few Copies In 1928
In 1928, he published few copies
of his first "Star Altitude Curves" He
hadn't worked out the curves for
many stars, but the Army Air Corps
went around buying up all the copies
it could find and bowling for more.
So this year he has added lot more
stars, printed lot more copies and
landed respectable order from the
Air Corps for the first run of the
books.
Filling the order hasn't been the
easiest job in the world, because it is
difficult to print in three colors a lot
of lines that have to be accurately
placed within the limits of hairs
breadth.
Weather Affects Printing
The printers print the black curves
one day, which happens to be dry
day, then they try to print the red
curves the next day, which turns out

RELIEF FUND REFORM

The question beggars and the stump
dodgers who are still wearing the col
ored glasses of the New Deal continue
active, even locally, with regard to the
subject of relief fund distribution.
Whenever one proposes reform in
the handling of relief funds, particu-
larly for the purpose of reducing the
unconscionable waste that has so long
obtained and placing the work ON a
merit basis instead of letting the fav-
ored politicians run away with it, some
fellow ups with yell that such con-
structive criticism means the sudden
abandonment of all relief and the star
walton of people without jobs.
1t seems superfuous to remind such
narrow-minded persons that this
stump lodging so ridiculous as to be
laughable, and that it would be
laughed atw ere it not for the serious
ness of the subject and the pity OBJ
tanning over the employment of such
loose rhetoric. 81
The mishandling of relief funds by
the New Deal administration, however,
has been so fagrantly wrong that
there is every indication the new
Congress will take early steps to cor
rect the situation. In fact, warnings to
this end have already assumed the
proportions of an approaching storm,
which everybody expects to burst on
the opening days of the new Congress.
The Senate Committee on Campaign
Expenditures is expected to file its
report of the widespread use of the
WPA to influence the primaries and
elections, and that will start things.
The prospect strongly supports the
opinion expressed by Gen. Hugh S.
johnson that the main purpose of the
Presidents quick shift of Hopkins into
his cabinet, the switching of Aubrey
Williams to the NYA and the APP
pointment of Col. Harrington, of the
Army engineers, to run the WPA was
to sidestep the hurricane.
Whatever ignorant or prejudiced
persons may say in criticism of those
advocating relief reform, it is to be
noted that the Republicans are spon-
soring formula of turning back the
problem to the states-not abandoning
it suddenly or absolutely as insinu-
ated-with the Federal Government
continuing its participation through
grants-in-aid. Such a reform would
transfer the administration of relief
from it's present political maladminis-
tration to those who know better the
local applicants and their needs and
who would be more likely to prevent
the use of relief as a political weapon
OF as a means Of favoring persons not
entitled to it.
In the light of that formula, the in
timation that relief is not carried on
locally when the national government
fails to do as it should, and that local
administration would fail in handling
government funds, is a puerile beg
ging of the question.
