London.
There was no mention, meanwhile
Of President Rooseyelt's second
peace message stating that the
Polish President had agreed to nego-
tiate on the basis of Roosevelt s
proposal to the Polish President and
Hitler yesterday. Neither the first
message nor the second one was
mentioned in the German press and
official quarters today said they had
no comment to make on the mat
ter, other than that no reply had
been sent to Washington.
Seven Hours Of Isola ton.
A compromise appeared possible
after am. today g pm. Friday,
E. S. TD when, one source said,
marching orders set for 4:30 am.
were Cancelled on advice of army
leaders.
Seven hours of isolation from the
outside world ended at that hour
and telephone and telegraphic
communications were restored. The
isolation, it was learned tonight. had
been ordered as military measure.
Mobilization of reserves and reQui-
sitioning Of commercial and pri-
vate vehicles were speeded up
throughout today, however. either
in fulfillment of orders given some
time previously or as a precaution
against breakdown on converse :
tions with the British government.
An order was issued forbidding all
postal communication with soldiers
for 10 days.
Veterans of the last war were in
cluded among reserves called in to-
day. Nurses were enrolled. Min
listers were told where to report as
chaplains. Orders to report were
still being received in the late after
noon.
Commercial airplane transporta-
ton abroad, which was halted yes
terday, was resumed this afternoon.
Desire for Peace Grows.
Mild Nazi editorial comment
seemed to support the growing be-
lief that The desire of high quarters
for peaceful solution had increased
overnight.
Commentators did not speak of
war, but said "a solution is near"
and argued that Great Britain and
France at last had seen the impossi-
bility of military action against Ger
many now that Russia had left their
camp by signing a pact with the
Reich.
Everything indicated that Hitler
would call the Reichstag for another
major speech. Practically all the
Deputies were in Berlin tonight
ready. to assemble at few hours
notice. An official said no order for
such meeting had yet been given.
That Der Fuehrer soon would ad-
dress the nation and the world on
the present crisis seemed highly
probable.
The old food shortage boeev
oobbed up again in the midst of the
crisis. Some meat markets sold but
a quarter of pound of meat per
customer regardless of the familys
size. Sale of gasoline was stopped
except to military people and diplo-
mats.
The japanese Embassy took the
most drastic action of any embassy
In evacuating it's nationals. A jana
nese ship called at Hamburg and
took 200 Japanese, mostly women
and children, to Sweden to await
developments. About 200 Japanese
remained in Germany.
The American Embassy sent all
American residents written notice
that they should leave the Reich.
The British Embassys secretaries
moved from their homes into the
embassy.

Training of Reserve Pilots
Important Cog in Defense

Careful examination of the
most imperative present needs
leads me to recommend the ap-
preparation at this session Of
the Congress, with as great
speed as possible, of approx
mately $525, 100000, of which
sum approximately $210, 900 900
would be actually spent from
the Treasury before the end of
the fiscal year ending June 80,
1910.
The survey indicates that of
this sum approximately $3.50
100000 should be allocated for
new needs of the Army, $685.
100000 for new needs of the
Navy, and S10,000.000 for train
ing of civilian air pilots.
The several items will be sub
mitted to the appropriate com.
mittees of the Congress by the
departments 1oncerned. and I
need, therefore. touch only on
the major divisions of the total.
In the case of the Army, infor-
nation from other nations leads
us to believe that there must
be a complete revision Of our
estimates for aircraft. The
Baker Board Report Of a few
years ago is completely out of
date.

thinking in the terms of neces-
Sary defenses and the conclu-
sion is inevitable that our exist

It is proposed that $500, ,00O,.

planes for the Army. This
should provide a minimum in

hoped that orders placed on
such a large scale will materially
reduce the unit cost and actu-
ally provide many more planes.
Military aviation is increas-
ing today at an unprecedented
and alarming rate. Increased
range, increased speed, increased
capacity Of airplanes abroad
have change our requirements
for defensive aviation. The ad-
ditional planes recommended will
considerably strengthen the air
defenses of the continental
United States, Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico and the Canal

DIES TO RESUME
EXPOSE OF REDS

CHICAGO, Jan. IL G.N.S.)
The charge of Representative
Martin Dies CDD of Texas that
"the Federal Government in
Washington is honeycombed with
Reds" was expected to be fol
lowed tonight by more sensational
accusations.
Speaking at an American lie
gion meeting in suburban La
Grange last night, Representative
Dies was believed to have with
held his heavier ammunition for
a talk before a crowd of 1000 at
a meeting of the Employers Asso-
citation tonight.
The Congressman and chair.
man of the House un-American
committee told the Legionnaires
"one of the biggest lobbies in all
time is at work in Washington
to stop the work of our commit
tee.'
Declaring the country was filled
with groups working for the down
fall of our Democratic form of
government, Representative Dies
said that a great deal of the sub
verSive action might be traced to
the failure of the Labor Depart
ment to enforce existing laws.

ment with the report of the spe-

been submitted to the Congress,

tional Navy airplanes and air

Finally, national defense calls
for the annual training of ad-
ditional air pilots. This train
ing should be primarily directed
to the essential qualifications
for civilian flying. In co-opera-
ton with educational institu-
tions. it is believed that the ex-
penditure of $10,000,000 a year
will give primary training to
approximately 10000 citizens.

A demand for investigation of
graft charges made last session
on the proposed Camp Springs
site for a Washington airport and
of the high cost of Gravelly Point
airport, now under construction,

was indicated today.
Representative Melvin Mas,
(R) of Minnesota, announced he

to the introduction of bill ask
ing for the investigation of both
phases of the National Capital
airport problem.
II am not entirely in accord
with all the plans being made
for the Gravelly Point Airport"
he said. The cost $4,000, ,O0O
seems extremely high. The dan
gers resulting from the prox-
unity to the site of Army and
Navy fields may be remedied by
close cooperation. At any rate,
I hope SO.
But I do not see how we can
allow these dangerous 11O-foot
laboratories of the Bureau of
Public Roads to remain there.
The Washington times., 1939-01-12

If an appropriation bill can be
enacted. I suggest that $50,000-
600 of the $3O0.000,00O for air
planes be made Immediately
available in order to correct the
present lag in aircraft produc.
ton due to idle plants.
OF the balance of approx.
mately $150,0OO,O00 requested
for the Army, I suggest an ap-
preparation Of $110,000,000 to
provide critical items" Of equip
ment which would be needed
Immediately in time Of emer-
gency, and which cannot be
obtained from any source within

artillery, semi-automatic rifles,
anti-tank guns, tanks, light and

Such purchases would 60 far
to equip existing units of the
regular army and the National
Guard.

for the Army-in other words,
to enable industry to prepare
for quantity production in an
emergency, of those military
items which are non-commercial
in character and are so difficult
of manufacture as to constitute
what is known as "bottlenecks"
IN the problem of procurement.

I believe, for improving and

including the construction of a
highway outside the limits of

tant to the defense of the Zone.

Warning Sounded
AS 81 MedicOS
Graduate

/ Major Gen. Charles r. Rey.
noldS. surgeon general of the
United States Army, today pre-
dlcted there will be another great
war" with the United States in it.
Speaking before 81 graduates
of the Army Medical School in
exercises held today at Walter
Reed General Hospital, General
Reynolds declared:
Il believe there will be an
other war and that We'll be
there"
WARNED OF DELAY
His warning was sounded as a
means of impressing the future
Army medical officers that their
duty in their chosen careers will
not be concerned mainly with
treating the Armys sick, but to
assist in the plans now being laid
to mobolize the entire country
whenever a major conflict arises.
He pointed out to the youthful
Officers, some of whom received
commissions as captains and
others as first leiutenants, that
there are only 1000 doctors in the
Army, as compared with 10000
private physicians.
It therefore becomes the duty
of Army medical men. he de-
clared, to learn how civilian doc
tors can be pressed into service
IN time of war.
TOO MANY TECHNICIANS"
General Reynolds, who described
to the graduates the social and
military life they will lead as "of-
ificers and gentlemen said that
most of the population of the
United States will be mobilized on
a semi-Federal basis whenever
this country fights again. He ex-
planned the mobilization will not
only include the making of muni-
tlons, but also the instantaneous
pressing into service of physicians
and other professional men.
He, therefore, urged the gradu-
ates to regard medicine as a
broad field" rather than as a
means of specializing in some
small branch of the profession.
He declared that, among doctors
in private life, there are "too
many technicians," and not
enough old-fashioned family physi-
clans,

ALL-SEA PLANE
ROUTES TO AID
DEFENSE OF US,
$3OO,OO0, Program
Drafted for Congress
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
Copyright, 1899

G.N.S) A 5000 900 900 program
for developing and enlarging hun.
dreds of airports and seaplane
bases throughout the United States
has been drafted by Government
aeronautical and military experts.
An outline of the program will
be placed before Congress not
later than February l by the Civil
Aeronautics Authority.
Designed largely as a national
defense measure, the plan also
has as its objective the develop
ment of facilities for private and
commercial. flying operations.
AS part of the new plan, the
CAA is making a thorough in.
veStigation of three new trans
continental air routes that can be
flown by seaplanes.
THREE ROUTES CHARTED
Preliminary studies have con.
vinced the CAA that by using
lakes, rivers, streams, irrigation,
and other water projects, trans
continental seaplane service will
be commercially practical. The
three transcontinental seaplane
routes under study include:
l. The North route: New York
to Seattle via Lake Ontario,
Lake Erie, Cleveland Chicago,
Duluth, Lake Superior, North
Dakota, Montana, and Idaho,
skirting the Canadian border.
2. The Central route: New
York to San Francisco, via
Great Lakes, Chicago, Nebraska,
Wyoming, Salt Lake, Northern
Nevada and California.
3. The Southern route: New
York, Miami to San Diego, via
Gulf of Mexico, New Orleans,
Corpus Christie and Southern
Arizona.
ANOTHER WATER ROUTE
Another auxiliary water route Is
contemplated between New Or
leans and Chicago, utilizing the
Mississippi River. Commission ex-
perts foresee eventual adoption Of
New orleans as the most impor-
tant terminal for traffic between
the United States and Latin
America. This terminal now is at
Miami.
Development of land airports
also is cf paramount necessity
at this time, the CAA will inform
Congress.

Message Expected

Congress was prepared for the
defense message, for Mr.. Roose-
velt had prepared the way for it
in his historic message of Janu-
ary 4, when he flayed the dicta-
torship countries and pictured
them as the menacing aggres-
sors of the democracies every
where.
His message was read by clerks
to a receptive Congress There
was some grumbling over the in
creased expenditures. and there
will be some opposition to the
program he proposed, but in the
main it is expected the President
will get about what he asked for

Following the text of President RooseUels defense

To the Congress of the United
States.
IN my Annual Message to this
Congress I have spoken at some
length of the changing world
conditions outside of the Ameri-
can Hemisphere which make it
imperative that we take i'm
mediate steps for the protection
of our liberties.
1t would be unWise for any of
us to yield to any form of hys-
terra. Nevertheless, regardless
of political affiliations, we can
properly Join in an appraisal of
the world situation and agree
on the immediate defense needs
of the Nation.
1t is equally sensational and
untrue to take the position that
we must at once spend billions
of additional money for building
up our land, sea and air forces
on the one hand, or to insist
that no further additions are
necessary on the other.

All of this, he concluded, "con.

Of defense.
The young men of this nation

1t would be economically unsound

the modern equipment needed in a
war emergency But it would be
nationally unsound not to provide
the critical items of equipment
which might be needed for imme-
dlate use, and not to provide for
facilities for mass production in
the event of war.
Devoid of all hysteria, this
program is but the minimum of

NeW War Rules

What needs to be emphasized
is the great change which has
come over conflicts between ma
tions since the World War
ended, and especially during the
past five or six years.
Those of us who took part in
the conduct of the World War
will remember that in the prep
aration of the American armies
for actual participation in bat
tie, the United States, entering
the war on April 6, 1917, took no
part whatsoever in any major
engagement until the end of
May, 1918.
In other words, while other
armies were conducting the
actual fighting, the United
States had more than a year of
absolute peace at home without
