Plane WARNING
Units Planned

WASHlNGTON-The army to-
day disclosed it is establishing four
new fast-moying aircraft warning
units rs the first step in a pro-
gram to strengthen defenses on
both seaooasts and island outposts
against bombing attack.
Each of the four companies will
be organized on a pattern worked
out earlier this year at Mitchell
field, Long Island, N. Y, under
Brig. Gen. James II. CLANCY. A
single command will direct activ-
tiles of every type of defense
against raiding sircraft--pursuit
squadrons, snti-aircraft batteries
and warning signal services.
The first units of about $50
men each will be stationed at
Mitchell field. Fort Sam Houston
Texas. March field, Calf. and
Hawaii. The expanded program
envisages six companies on the
Atlantic coast. one on the Gulf
of Mexico, three on the Pacific
and several others in Alaska, Ha-
wall. Panama and Puerto Rico.
With equipment provided partly
from the Sc. 29a,0 900 recently voted
by congress to expand warning
facilities, the companies will en-
ploy the srmy's secret sound
locators' designed to pick up the
motor drone of invading aircraft
before they reach American shores
and give defending planes a chance
to take the air against them.

women: do you think every
sble'bodied young man 20 years
old should be made to serve in
the army. the navy or the air
forces for one year,"
Numerous plans for compulsory
training have been offered to
congress and discussed In sessions
of the house and senate military
affairs committees. Public opinion
