Delayed when winter failed to

According to some who can re-

lected along lines that rival the
State Department for diplomacy.
In the girls ranks, the task of Sc
lecting an honor guard has been so
difficult that. only one name has
been turned in to Girl Scout head
quarters so far. The lucky girl,
Mary Anne Dawson of Rockville
Md, was finally selected after the
committee of judges for that district
had cut the possibilities down to
three entrants and at last resorted
to drawing names from a hat.
A runner-up in her troop, when
asked how the other candidates took
their defeat, replied, "of course, they
took the scout attitude"
The selection according to a Rock
vile member of the Judging Com
mittee, was based on height, posture
correctness of uniform and age.
Mary Anne had to be IA and "as tall
as the Washington girls" She was
also supposed to wear size Is dress.
After it was all over, the committee
took measurements of Mary Anne S
height, with and without shoes.
Committees to Make Selections.
Girl Scout headquarters is leaving
the selections up to committees in
the six Washington districts. one of
which runs over into Montgomery
County.
Unlike the Boy Scout honor guard,
about half the Girl Scout guard will
be composed of adults. The exact
number of adults has not yet been
set, but it has already been de-

The girls will assemble by dis

Scout adults who want to know If
borrow uniform can I come, too?"
They have had to single out no
more than 20 boys and girls for the
two honor guards-a matter that
takes considerable finesse when
there are more than 10000 young
sters from whom to choose.
All their problems aren't shared
jointly. The Girl Scout arrangers,
for instance, were confronted by an
impasse when they ordered all girls
into uniform for the review-and
then discovered that no uniforms
were available in Washington shops.
The Boy Scouts, with much
larger area represented than the
girls, had transportation knots to
unravel. From Loudoun County,
Va, where four buses have been
chartered to bring in every Scout
from the county, came query
whether buses were allowed across
Arlington Memorial Bridge. They're
not. The Loudoun County contin-
gent will be routed across Key
Bridge.
Fredericksburg Cars Mobilize.
In the Fredericksburg district all
private automobiles are being mo-
bilized for the occasion. The chair
man there wanted to know i the
drivers of the cars would be re-
warded by glimpse of the King and
Queen.
Through the State Department
permission had to be granted by
the royal party for gifts to be pre-
sented. With permission granted,
the question who will do the pre-
senting is still to be decided.
The gift from the Boy Scouts has
history that traces, appropriately
enough, back to Englands own Capt.
John Smith. Capt. Smith was the
first white man, according to Boy
Scout official, to explore the ancient
cliffs on the site of the present
Camp Theodore Roosevelt, the Scout
camp at Willows, Md.
When the explorer returned to his
mother country he took with him a
porpoise vertebrae which he had
unearthed in the cliff. Still accord
ing to the Scout official, several
clergymen denounced the vertebrae
said 1t couldn't have been found in
the cliff, and, If 1t had been, "the
Devil placed it there to deceive the
unwary."
Now They Have a Sharks Tooth.
From the same cliff, two eagle
scouts, Victor l.. Kebler, sr. and jr.,
took a sharks tooth, estimated at
the 4O-million-year figure by Smith
sonian Institution authorities. They
mounted it on a block of cedar as a
neckerchief slide. King George is a
scout in the British Boy Scouts. and
they're hoping he'll wear it when he
goes back and reviews his own
troops.

M. Daladier told the nation there .
was no other way of checkmating a.
potential adversary whose whole
people was helping build the nations
armaments. He drew a dark pic
ture of what would happen if those
armaments were turned against
France.
The Munich accord, providing
the first partition of Czecho-Slo-
vakia, gave the French a surge of
hope last fall that war had been
averted. German occupation Of Bo-
hemia and Moravia last March and
Italian occupation of Albania

600 men. The exact number is
military secret, but the Maginot
Line facing Germany is known
to TEEN with troops.
Armaments production has been
stepped up to the point where one
huge assembly plant is turning out
130 pursuit planes a month. Prob
ably no other plant approaches this
output, but figures given prior to
the decree powers said the Nations
total plane production was about
80 a month.

French Are United
To Meet Threats Of
War Efficiently
Labor Disputes Disappear
And Quietus Is Put
Upon Politics
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 3.-Accumulated
war threats in recent months have
brought France her characteristic
last ditch reaction-unity.
Political squabbles and labor dis
putes which were prevalent only a
few months ago have but disap-
peared.
The French consider the present
moment dangerous in international
affairs and have set aside their
argumentative habits to pull to-
gether.
One indication Of results they
have obtained is in airplane pro-
duction. Now single assembly
plant turns out 100 planes a month
whereas the total national OUTPUT
was about 80 month not long ago.
Unitey Is Surprising.
Visitors express surprise at the
Transformation which has some over
France. Many had voiced the be-
lief 1t would take actual war to
unite the nation. The French people
disagree as to whether or when war
will come, but they agree that
danger demands sacrifice.
Accordingly, political parties,
labor organizations and individuals
appear to have agreed tacitly to
subordinate their differences in the
interest of presenting the united
front for which the French are
famous in times of stress.
There is little political hullabaloo
