Juneau will have & Coast Guard Reserve, it was revealed today when orders came through from head quarters to the cutter Haida nam ing Lieut.. R. c. Foutter as Direc- tor of the Coast Guard Reserve for the Juneau District.
 Under this new branch of the service, provided for in the Coast Guard Reserve Act recently passed by Congress, small boat owners will be organized under the reserve "in the interest of safety to life at sea-promotion of efficiency in op- eration of motorboats and yachts facilitating certain operations of the Coast Guard"
 The organization and it's branch es will be serving comparatively with the Coast Guard Director in choosing members for the Reserve through written examinations, pass ing inspection ill knowledge as well as in equipping of their craft &C., cording to established regulations.
 Given Remnants
 Those admitted to the Reserve will be given proper pennants and insignia designating them and their craft as of the Reserve. As a result belonging to the Reserve will be a matter of pride as well as genuine aid to the Coast Guard operations, and besides aiding in patrolling of regattas or such con- gregations of craft in any area, will do much towards schooling all boat operators in proper handling and equipping of their boats, les sening to large degree, it is hoped. the many accidents and cases of distress so often occasioned by incompetence or carelessness.
 When craft is brought into the Reserve after proper qualification, the Coast Guard is authorized to use that craft in the conduct of duties incident to the saving of life and property and in the patrol of marine parades and regattas.
 Expenses
 When such craft is used, it will not be placed in duty unless there is Coast Guard officer aboard.

A plea for working agreement"
between the A. F. L. and the c. I.
O., even though they maintain their
separate entities, was made today
by Chairman Thomas of the Senate
Labor Committee.
Summing up the SO days of hear
ings held by the committee on pro-
posed changes in the Wagner Act,
Senator Thomas told reporters he
saw no reason why the two labor
organizations should have to get to-
gether as one.
There is plenty of room in this
country for both of them," he said,
but the leaders must strive for
some working agreement so that the
cause of labor will not be hurt by
strife
II am inclined to believe that the
strife will end of it's own free will
President William Green testified
before our committee that it hadn t
hurt his organization, and that its
membership was actually growing
under it. We all know that the c.
I. o. has grown, for it started from
practically nothing.
When Green and John L. Lewis
of the C. I. o. begin to get thought
full about the gains they have made

B, . STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

By SIau correspondent VI lut oldl
MANASSAS, Va, Aug. ll.-Train-
ing of the United States Army is
tagging behind even the peace-time
supply of war materials, 1t. Gen,
Hugh A. Drum, commanding the
1st Army, declared today. The
Nations greatest defense problem is
the training of manpoWer and espe-
cially the training of the high COM
mands so that the eXpertneSS of the
individual soldiers composing the
modern Army may be employed to
the best advantage" he said.
Standing in the shade OF a big
tree in the early morning sunlight
as troops of the 28th and 29th Ma
tional Guard divisions moved out
into battle positions for the climax
of their first week of training here,
Gen. Drum opened an interview to-
day by quoting Chlna'S Gen. Chang
Kai-shek: The more you persplre
in peace, the less you bleed in war"
The outstanding weakness of the
American Army has been the lack
of organized, trained headquarters
for the larger units, Gen. Drum
said. He pointed out that during
the World War it became necessary
to organize and train army, corps
and division headquarters before
We could employ our forces and
that even in the case of the Regu-
lar Army's first division, nearly a
year elapsed before it could take the
6eld.
The delay was not due at all to
lack Of supplies, but to lack Of train
ing" he said. The French and
British were capable of supplying
our troops as they arrived. but we
were not trained to use the supplies
which were available"
Despite the World War lessons,
Gen. Drum said, the United States
Army today is not prepared, from
the standpoint Of training of its
high command, to get the proper
use of the eXpertnesS of the in
dividual. Training of the smaller
units has gone ahead of that of
the larger, he said. The primary
purpose Of the maneuyerS now in
progress here and those opening
next week at Plattsburg, N. Y, is
to provide actual field training for
the higher commands. The most
difficult phase Of training is to get
the larger forces working as a team,
the general said, and this can be
accomplished only through the
medium of such maneuvers as are
now being held.
