NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE United
States can do in two years the job Of
arming that Germany did In seven,
says Louis johnson, former Assist
ant Secretary of War, and this can
be done because it was planned
for and developed" III
In a Nationwide broadcast last
night in reply to a radio address
by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, Mr..
johnson charged the famous avia-
tor with Ignorance of the United
States of e state OF preparedness,
and most all, of its iron will"
Mr.. Johnson called Col Lind
bergh's address plea to sacrifice
the principles on which the United
States was built" to "appease Ger
many and Japan" and to stop
helping Britain"
Avoids Political Side"
At the outset, Mr.. johnson de-
clared:
With the political side of Col.
Line bergh's address I do not propose
to deal. I, therefore, leave on one
side what I consider his partisan
plea to vote against the President"
Mr.. Johnson asserted that as in
past American history, adequate de-
fense of the country today means
keeping war as far away as possible
from the borders of this country.
Waiting until the enemy can get
into and devastate our territory is
not sane policy"
Navy Declared Worlds Best.
The American Navy Is the most
powerful in the world, he continued,
and working in conjunction with the
British feet, "can keep air and land
forces beyond striking distance of
American coasts"
"If and only if, Britain and her
navy fall into hostile hands, would
we face a dangerous situation"
Mr.. johnson declared that the
country was wise" not to have built
up its air force earlier because had
we built an air fleet in 1884, we
should have wasted our time and
our money, and have been lured into
a false sense of security"
Even the Germans are rebuild
ing their present fleet because the
newer British models Outright them,"
he said.

HamIin Garland , "Dean of American Letters," Dies
 Of Cerebral Hemorrhage

HOLLYWOOD, Cal. March 5. = Hamlin Garland, 79, known as the "Dean of American Letters" died here last night as the result of cerebral hemorrhage.
 Garland, first as literary chroni- cler of the mid-western prairies, then as biographer, interpreter of the American Indian and psychic researcher, was accorded the title "dean of American letters" after the death of his friend, William Dean HoWells.
 What he called "the middle bor- der" was the locale for his most famous work and he depicted the pioneering life of Iowa and the Dakotas in such stark phrases that many hailed him as one of the first of the realists. But he him. self disliked that term. For his own description of his attitude LOMdJQ al |, iiC NOlllLo WI VI "veritist." Critics said his truth read like fiction.
 Famous Works
 Garland was product of the region which he immortalized in print. His most famous works, "A Son of the Middle Border" A Daughter of the Middle Border" and 'Trailmakers of the Middle Bor- der were largely autobiographical The trilogy recorded the efforts oi the Garland and McClintock fami- lies, from which he stemmed, to overcome isolation and hardships and, by drudging toll, transform raw prairie into secure homesteads
 Garland built up a wiry physique by working on the land in his youth. Intermittently, in his ma turity, he returned to the soil But manual labor and creative literary effort did not go hand in hand for him and he wrote his master

Bloody Hand to : Hand Fights Waged in Bldsf-
 ed City's Outskirts
NIGHT ICE ATTACK
 BEATEN OFF BADLY
Finnish Airmen Bomb Wat erways 10 Impede
 Movements

HEEL LSINKI. March 5. - Bloody hand -to-hand battle in the blasted ruins of viipuri marked the bit ter struggle of invading Soviet sol- diers and defending Films today as the Finnish forces gave way stubbornly before the Red hordes.
 Artillery fire and bombing raids by air continued unabated through last night and this morning Rus sian forces were vainly trying to cut through to the heart of the city.
 In the outskirts of the city, Finn soldiers threw up barricades oi furniture and concrete, meeting per- sistent Russian attacks with heavy machine gun fire.
 The great pincer movement or the Russ soldier machine has so far failed to work.
 Ice Attack Fails
 Attacks across the ice of the bay from the west have failed utterly, with fire from Viipuri entrench- ments and strafing machine gun fire from Finn pursuit planes com pletely demoralizing the Soviet ad- vance attempts from that quar- ter.
 Early this morning, what is be- lieved the last attempt of the Rus sians to come ill across the Ice met with disaster.
 Making a forced march just be- fore daylight. hoping to gain F1n- nish defenses before daybreak, Fin nish outposts reported the attack and Finn planes dropped hundreds of flares that threw the Soviet forces into brilliant light and left the defenders pouring machine gun fire from complete darkness.
 Killed in Attack
 Finnish officers said several hundred" Russian infantrymen were killed in the night attack.
 On the land side of Viipuri, the string of lakes and rivers there have been dynamited from shore and bombed by the Films own planes, crippling Russian supply and troop movements. The same procedure has been followed in the rear of the Russian advance forces and has slowed up" the Russian advance considerably, Finn sources declare
 Wait Achievements
 With the siege of Madrid in mind, Finn soldiers are putting up ter rifle battle, stalling for reinforce ments.
 Observers say the Russian ad- vance divisions, estimated at "sev- eral," will be in an extremely vul- nerable position if Finn forces are augmented and can in turn coun- ter attack and outflank the So- viets, now removed from perma- nent bases and unable to make new bases under heavy artillery and bombing fire from the de- | lenders.
 Finnish Army sources admitted losses are heavy" but indicated Russian losses were proportionately much greater.

ALASkAN5 ASK CONGRESS
 FOR PROGRAM TO BUILD
 PERMANENT COMMUNITY

WASHINGTON, March 5. A prediction that the census would show an Alaska population of TO- 900 and a recommendation that the Territory needed even more people were made before the House Appropriations Committee here by Gov. Ernest Gruening, Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, Paul w. Cor don of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions, Carl F. Whitman, President of the NabeS- ma Mining Company, Asa Baldwin, mining man, J. J. Underwood, Se- attle Chamber of Commerce rep resentative, and Col O. F. Ohlson, General Manager of the Alaska Railroad.
 "The greatest immediate need" said the Governor, lis to link AL aska with Seattle and the States by air" A
 Congressman Surprised
 Rep. Jed Johnson, Democrat of Oklahoma, expressed surprise they were not already linked. Rep. James M. Fitzpatrick, Democrat of New York, said he thought 1t strange American enterprise spanned the oceans but neglected an Alaska airline.
 "The trouble WILL Alaska. Fitz- patrick said, las been that we have been taking out a great deal but not putting anything back
 Gruening testified: T would like to say that one great handicap we are experiencing very acutely at this moment is lack of available transportation facilities every sum- mer. It is now almost impossible for passengers to secure accommo- dations."
 Should be on Own
 Rep. Robert F. Rich, Republican of Pennsylvania, told the Governor he believes the time is approach ing when Alaska should expect the Federal Government must stor furnishing millions and millions of dollars annually for Alaska
 Rich said he believed officials should interest private enterprise in developing the Territory.
 Gruening replied: T am entirely in agreement with you and that is what we are trying to do but would like to say that millions of dollars are taken out of Alaska every year by the United States and we don't have much coming into Alaska from the Federal Gov ernment."
 Wants New Ships
 The Governor advocated that the Maritime Commission program be exxtended so it could develop coast wise shipping to Alaska, saying that at present no extra ships are available.
 He advocated the construction ot a lodge and cabins at the end of the 90-mile road in Mount Nc Kinley Park.
 Regarding continuance Of rail road operation with Seward as a terminal, Fitzpatrick declared the people north of Seward favor the
