which could be transplanted from
the area affected by the new sea-
wall. Many cherry trees have been
saved in this way. However. old
cherry trees and most of the larger
species of trees in the way Of work
men now will be cut down.
Plans for landscaping the me-
mortal. when it is finished, call for
the planting Of many more trees
than now exist on the south shore
of the basin. These will be both
cherry trees and other kinds.
1t was learned today that last

night. A huge Linden tree, for in
stance, which squarely blocked the
extension of E street NV. from
South Executive avenue to Seven

because of individuals dependent
upon them for support; in class 4
those specifically deferred by the
terms of the act.
The total number of individuals
needed by the armed forces will be
prorated among the several States.
In this ALLEGATION due consideration
will be given to the number of men
already furnished by that State for
our military service. Within each
State a quota, in a similar manner,
will be divided among the local
boards. Thus, each locality will be
asked to furnish its fair share of
individuals for induction into our
armed forces.
Volunteers to Be Accepted.
In each of these local board
areas individuals between the ages
of 1S and IS will be offered an op-
portunity to volunteer for a one
year period of service and training.
Such applicants will be accepted be-
fore any other individuals are
selected, provided they are suitable
for military service. 1t will be the
duty of the local board to select as
many additional individuals as are
necessary to fill the quota for that
particular area.
Following the tentative selection
Of these individuals, local medical
examiner will examine them ply
sically. If they are accepted. they
will be sent forward for final ply
sical examination by medical off,

Quoted into the service.
In the military service they will
be intelligently led, comfortably
clothed we'll fed, and adequately
armed and equipped for basic train
ing. BY the time they get physically
hardened, mentally disciplined and
properly trained in fundamentals,
the flow of critical munitions from
factory to combat units will meet the
full requirements for their advanced
training.
In the military service, Americans
from all walks Of life, rich and poor,
country-bred and city raised, farmer,
student, manual laborer and white
collar worker, will learn to live side
by side, to depend upon each other
in military drills and maneuvers, and
to appreciate each others, dignity as

Universal service will bring not

the threat of war, but wider dis
tribution of tolerance and under

Tree cutting to clear 2,l0O feet of

Among the trees which will have
to be cut down are a number Of

and other species also will have to
be removed in the next few weeks so
that the shoreline may be changed

A new sea wall will be constructed
to consolidate the new shoreline.
The tree removal, changing of the
shoreline and construction Of the

der a S245 900 contract.
Word that the removal of trees
from this area started last night

say that he believed the trees were
being removed at night at the be-
hest of the Office of National Capt.
tai Parks to prevent a public outcry
similar to that made two years ago
when it was drsr tearued that the
cherry trees near the memorial
would have to be removed. At that
time a group Of Washington women
even went so far as to chain them

were being removed from the site
of the memorial itself to prevent
their being cut.

that the work was done at night to

As Majority Leader

Until After Elections
If Deadlock Looms

Sectional considerations and pos.
sible repercussions on the Novem.
Der voting were being accorded ma
terial weight today in deliberations
over the naming OF House majority
leader to succeed Speaker Rayburn.
While attendance Of a large body
of House members, including most OF
the candidates for the leadership. at
funeral services for Speaker Bank
head in Alabama precluded any ac-
tual decisions until tomorrow at
least. consideration Of the problem
is not in recess
Four candidates already are in the
forefront; Representatives McCor-
mack Of Massachusetts, Boland of
Pennsylvania. Woodrum of Virginia
and Cooper of Tennessee. With all
of these being outranked by other
House Democrats as far as length
OF service is concerned. it is not
unlikely that other aspirants for the
post may appear before the contest
is over.
Reluctance to Yield Post.
Always a more integrated bloc
than any other sectional group, the
Southern delegation in the House
has held most of the key posts dur
ing the two Roosevelt administra-
tions and undoubtedly would be re-
luctant to relinquish the majority
leadership at this time. Although
Mr.. Woodrum outranks Mr.. Cooper
IN length of service, the greater New
Deal regularity of Mr.. Cooper may
swing the bulk of Southern strength
to him.
AS for the other two avowed cam
didates. both come from States
whose electoral votes are sure TO be
important in November. Republican
hopes, for instance have been par
ticularly high as regards Massachu-
setts. and a cold shoulder from the
New Deal leadership for one of the
Bay States influential Democrats
might further encourage the trend
away from the Roosevelt Wallace
ticket.
Boland Has Strong Claim.
Mr.. Boland has strong claim ~
advancement as result Of his
service as party whip. A strong
nucleus for his campaign exists il
the large Pennsylvania Democratic
delegation in the House. Senator
Guffey, head of the State organiza-
ton, announced his support for Mr..
Boland last night.
In event the whole fight threatens
deadlock and deep bitterness, there
may be an ultimate decision to leave
the leadership open until after the
elections. Adjournment of the pres
ent session has been tativelv set
for next week and except for a
deficiency appropriation bill 10
