It is strange how a writer's opin-
ions can color Il story without any
actual miSStatcmcnl Of fact. Consider
this paragraph from story IN the
Raleigh Times on yesterday cleo
ton TO determine whether the city
should change TO managerShlP
form.
Numerous city employees were
observed hanging round polling
places throughout the city, while the
Junior Chamber Of Commerce also
| had representatives on guard IN all
precincts
II is obvious that the city en-
|pluyces" and the Junior Chamber
Representatives" were there for
idcntically the same purposes, To
look out for their interests; yet the
Times, which sided with the Jaycecs
and against the city employees
describes the one as ION guard and
the other as Hanging round.

House 0kehs
Mobilization
OF Guard
Now Goes Back
To Senote: In
cludes Reserve

WAS HIN GTON - The
house Thursday approved a
conference report on the bill
authorizing President Roose-
welt to call the national guard
and organized reserve into
active service for one year,
and for use, if necessary, any,
where in the western hemis-
phere.
The report, adopted by voice
vote. now goes back TO the senate,
which must agree to the con-
ference report before II can be
sent to the White House for
President Roosevelt's signature.
Under its provisions, reservists
and guardsmen, including officers.
will be liable for duty TO swell the
ranks of the present standing
army of $500 men.
CAN GO TO COURT
The army expects to take 220,-
600 of the 242. 900 national guards
men.
In its present form the bill does
not contain a senate amendment
invoking unfair labor practice
provisions of the Wagner labor
act as means OF compelling en-
ployers to take back guardsmen
employees after their year of
service.
Instead, 1t authorizes an indi-
vidual to institute proceedings in
q district court against an en-
ployer who fails to rehire him.
PROVIDES PROTECTION
The bill also contains provisions
designed to protect q mans SEMI
ority and pay status IN private
work after his years service.
National guardsmen under 10
would not be called, but would be
granted an honorable discharge.
Reservists with dependent wives
pr children could resign or be dis
charged within 20 days.
i The bill extends provisions of

4 tecting men indicted into the
army with respect to their obliga-
: tons, such as mortgages and in
surance premiums.
PRAISES TROOPS
Gen. George C. Marshall. chief
of-staff, said the army probably
would not need to call out all Of
the If. 900 reserve officers avail
able under pending legislation.
He said the tentative program
for the reserves would be first to
get as many of the reserve officers
ms possible on a voluntary basis,
then take unmarried men without
dependents.
'Tf this does not suffice.
then we might have to order
out Others" he said.
Marshall said his inspections of
current army maneuvers in Louisi-
ma, Minnesota and Washington
>ad shown an unusually high
tate of morale" and that all of
be officers and men are ''keenly
ware" that they must prepare
themselves for any emergency.
