President Urges
S124,000,000 for
Critical Army Items
S7,3OO,000 Eormorked
For Pilot Training
Program in Plan
By the Associated Press.

/
Immediately after his return from
the naval maneuvers in the Carib-
bean, President Roosevelt asked
Congress yesterday for $124,0O0, 900
to supply critical items of Army
equipment, strengthen seacoast de-
fenses and train 10000 civilian air.
plane pilots.
The money would supplement the
s499, 100000 Army appropriation
which the House passed Friday and
sent to the Senate.
The Presidents request was trans
mitted in letters to Speaker Bank
head.
OF the total, $110,OOO,OOO was ear
marked to provide the Army with
additional semi automatic rifles,
anti aircraft artillery, gas masks,
tanks. anti-tank guns, ammunition
and artillery; $6539,287 to bolster
seacoaSt defenses and $1,000, 900 for
the pilot t-training program.
Wants Funds Immediately.
The President recommended that
the funds for training young pilots
be made available Immediately so
the Civil Aerohautics Authority
could get the program under way
at the beginning of the fiscal year
starting July l.
Budget Director Bell, in a letter
accompanying the Presidents COM
munication, said the program was
designed to provide a trained reserve
of competent and efficient pilots for
service in our expanding air trans
port system and in addition. form
an important adjunct to an ade-
quate national defense"
For seacoast defenses the Presi-
dent recommended that s3,295 .63l
be appropriated for Continental
United States installations; $766, ,284
for insular possessions and $l,416,-
372 for the Panama Canal Zone.
These sums would be supplemented
by authorizations to make contracts
totaling 81 1,06l 900, for which actual
appropriations would have to be
made later.
Details Are Kept Secret.
AS was the case with a $7,250,000
item for seacoast defenses in the
Army supply bill approved by the
House, details of how and where
the money would be spent were
kept secret.
The President disclosed, however,
that he intended to ask Congress
later for money to build a highway
across the Isthmus of Panama out
side the Canal Zones boundaries.
Defense experts have contended
such highway is essential for
adequate protection of the vital and
vulnerable canal-the Nations life
line"
Included in the defense estimates
yesterday was lone item of SAT, 900
for the Navy, to permit topographic
and photographic surveys of naval
air bases recommended by special
naval board, some of which al
ready have been authorized by the
House. There also was 100000
item for modernization of two ships
which the Maritime Commission is
turning over to the Army for con-
version into transports.

Plus XII, whose election departed
from many ancient church tradi-
tions, today restored one by ar
ranging for his coronation to be
held out of doors.
The ceremony next Sunday. March
II, will take place on the outside
balcony of St. Peters after a pom
tif1cal mass inside the Basilica.
At least 10000 persons will be
able to witness the coronation from
st. Peters Square and from ada
cent streets in Rome, just outside
OF Vatican City.
Popes regularly followed this pro-
cedure until they became voluntary

Pope Plus TX, who assembled the
throne of ST. Peter in l846, was
the last to observe the custom. The
new pontiff's predecessor. Pope Plus
XII, was crowned inside the Basilca.

prisoners and made his first ap-
pearance on the balcony in 1929
after the Lateran accord had re-
conciled state and church.
When the pontiflcal mass is fin
ished, the Holy Father will be car
ried from the Basilica on a portable
throne. He will ascend a tempo
rary throne erected on the balcony
and there receive the golden triple
tiara from the hands of Camille
Cardinal Caccia- -Dominioni, dean OF
the Order of Deacons.
It was Cardinal Caccia- -Dominioni
who, last Thursday, proclaimed to
the throngs before st. Peters that
the secret conclave of cardinals
had elected Eugenio Cardinal Pa
celli as 262d Pope of the Holy Ro-
man Church:
COnfers on Second Day.
Soon after the coronation, posi-
bly, on the following Sunday, March

high rate here may well be construed
to show that more cases are being
