Defense Depends on

Group Is Told

National defense Of the future de-
pends upon an enlightened and
understanding electorate, Maj. Gen.
r. M. Beck, jr., assistant chief Of
staff of the War Department, told
military school heads today at a
meeting in the Washington Hotel.
The military schools go far to build
enlightened citizens, he said.
More than so officers are here for
the 25th annual conference of the
Association of Military Colleges and
Schools of the United States.
students of your institutions,
while constituting comparatively
small percentage of the whole, are
generally of a class which yields
considerable influence" Gen. Beck
said. I'm building for the future
this feature of the accomplishments
Of your institutions justifies the ef-
fort and expense"
The Army chief offered full CO.
operation of the War Department
to the military school people and he
told them to bring their problems to
the Army whenever advisable.
Praises Military Schools.
'"From our viewpoint, we have and
will be thankful for your schools.
Your schools have been pioneers in
keeping compulsory military train
ing in peacetime from becoming a
necessity. The officers you furnish
In the reserve corps have shown
themselves efficient and I am sure
that your schools do all they can
to keep the high standard of re-
serve officers" the general said.
The morning meeting was devoted
primarily to discussions and reports
OF the problems military schools face
today. Col. E. j. Middour of the
Staunton Military Academy in re-
porting on the school curriculum,
said the instructor should work for
the best adjustment to fit the stu
dent for civilian or military life.
Graduation requirements should be
such as to meet entrance require
ments OF the best colleges and uni
versities in the country.
He recommended that two of the
five major courses offered in schools
be taken four years. The courses
included English, mathematics,
language, history and science. Col.
Middour's report caused considerable
discussion. In rebuttal it was claimed
that it was the duty of the military
schools to train the boy individually
with no single standards of educa-
ton.
Individualized Plan Urged.
It was pointed out that the in
structors should study their students
and guide them in the lines of study
for which they seemed most suited
rather than have a standard course
for all.
Col. r. F. Ferrand reported on the
relationship between the military
schools and the Army and Navy De-
partments. Others who spoke at the
morning session included Col. j. M.
Mellers, who discussed school ethics;
Col. H. B. Moore, who told Of the
military school honor graduates at
West Point, and Col William Couper,
who gave a general discussion of
the military college.

NEW YORK, Dec 18.-Heywood Broun, 51. columnist and President of the American Newspaper Guild, died today in Hardness Pavilion of the Columbia Presbyterian medical center where he had been taken Thursday night when pneumonia de- veloped from heavy cold

 At a. m. his temperature was 1852. He was unconscious most of the time.
 Broun from the start was an in- corrible optimist who treated his illness with customary good nature, devoting one of his last columns to a whimsical discussion of a physi- cian's advising him to seek a rest in Florida.
 He was native of Brooklyn. Last week he transferred his column to the New York Post. His first and last column in that newspaper ap- peared Friday.

US. Chamber of Commerce Wants Federal Govt.
 to Withdraw

WASHINGTON, Dec Is. - The United States Chamber of Con- nerce has called for the Federal Government to withdraw from relief activities and permit States and To- cal governments to care for their own needy
 The recommendation ,s made in report by a Chamber of Com merce committee.
 The committee expressed the conviction that relief could be more efficiently administered ivy the local governments at greatly redIced costs. The report said tHat there is no justification for statements that the present relief burden will continue indefinitely.
 The committee declared that it is vital that the burden be curtailed and urges the Government to aban- don policies which are said to dis courage the restriction of business.
 The new proposed relief program would be administered by the states and local governments and would be financed by state and local taxes.
 The committee asserted that the yield of these taxes could be greatly increased if the Federal Government would release such taxes as properly belonged to the states.

Where's that
 License pIaie Rush! Clerk Wonders

City Clerk Harley Turner is be- ginning to worry, he says, about the large number of his fellow Juneauites who are going to be presented, early in the new year with traffic tickets because then automobiles are not wearing the bright orange and black 1940 li- cense plates.
 And he's worrying too about all the work which will be piled on the Clerks office if everyone, as it appears, waits until the last minute to obtain his license.
 Only a very few 1940 licenses have been issued so far, Turner reports. Automobiles appearing on the streets in 1940 without them will be tagged The license cost is $15.
