pations whose work was deemed
necessary to the national health,
safety or interest.
The President also would be en-
powered to prescribe regulations for
deferring the training and service
because Of persons dependent on the
.registrant for support. -
What about so-called "conscien-
tious objectors?"
Members of a well recognized
religious sect" whose creed or prin<
ciples forbids participation in war
would be exempt from training in
a combatant capacity, but would be
eligible for training or service in
-combatant capacities.
Local Draft Boards.

legislators that further requests
would be made in the near future,
in view of reports that the National
Defense Commission had recon-
mended an additional billion dollar
project to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Authoritative sources said that
this called for construction of scores
OF Government plants to turn out
powder, shells, armor plate, aircraft
and other munitions. In addition,
it was understood that the commits
sion had recommended further huge
orders for airplanes and other weap-
ons to assure that industry could 60
on a mass production basis.
New Plants Proposed.
While this country has only 10
ordnance, chemical, quartermaster
and aircraft plants, the Army high
command has estimated that 139
would be needed for major ma
tional defense effort. The recon-
mended Government construction
program. it was said, would be aimed
at supplying those which private
industry could not be expected to
finance or operate.
The day brought numerous other
developments related to national
defense and the war:

trenchment Of expenses other than
for national defense, registration of
aliens. no profiteering, and increased
productivity for national defense.
In a statement, the directors said
that equally as important as re-
armament to defense was "the re-
enforcement Of our whole economic
'front.'"
More pointedly," the statement
added, ut requires not the impos:-
ton OF new Government controls,
but the removal of old ones which
act as brake on our industrial ma
chine"
The Senate sent to the White
House legislation authorizing the
commissioner of patents to with
hold the publication of any in
vention where such publicity might
be detrimental to public safety or
national defense. The law now con-
fers this power on the commissioner
In time OF war only.
Congress also completed action
on a bill to require the registration
and f1ngerprinting of aliens, while
Representative Rich. Republican, of
Pennsylvania introduced legislation
requiring the fingerprinting of all
persons engaged In manufacture,
processing or delivering" Of all
goods. including war materials, for
use of the United States Govern
ment.
The measure would require all
these persons to carry cards bear
ing their photographs and finger
prints and would fix penalties for
noncompliance at imprisonment OF
not less than one year and a fine
Of not more than $1,000.

authority to negotiate defense con-
tracts and authorizing the President
to spend sec, 6,000, 900 In cash and
to make contracts for that amount
for national defense.
The measure also lifted present
restrictions of the size Of the Army
Air Corps.
Because Of a need for heavier
weapons suitable for use against
tanks and low-fying airplanes, the
Rock Island, ILL.,, arsenal is con-
verting 10000 30-caliber machine
guns to so caliber, the War Depart
ment disclosed. The guns also are
being transformed from water
cooled to air-cooled types.
Vacations Cancelled.
The Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION announced that scheduled
vacations Of all its field agents had
been cancelled because of the in
creased work of checking on re-
ported fifth column" activities. 1t
was indicated that similar action
would be taken with regard to vaca-
tions Of immigration service agents.
A joint committee of representa-
tives from Federal agencies and the
American Council on Education,
national organization of educational
groups and institutions, was estab-
lished to plan ways of cooperation
between education and the Federal
Government in the defense program.
In a message to leading indus
trialists, Hartley w. Barclay, editor
of Mill and Factory, urged that they
press for a re-armament program
based on an effective armed force
of 4,000,0 900 men. If the re-armament
program fails, he told them, 'in-
dustry will be made the scapegoat." "
Mr.. Barclay asserted that 1t
costs little more to begin arming on
the basis of 100000 men than IT
does for projected force OF 1,000,-
600 men,"
In event of emergency, armament
for 100000 men would be hopeless

5 airplane carriers. IS cruisers, 2l9
destroyers and IS submarines.
In addition to heavy combat ships,
the bill also would authorize ac-
quisition of $1,000 airplanes, con-
structlon of $25,00O,OOO of small
harbor defense craft and 100000 tons
OF auxiliary vessels.
Informed sources said the latter
would include a new, fast type of
ship capable of carrying completely
equipped detachments of marines,
including their tanks and artillery.
Restricts Sale.
The bill also stipulates that no
ship, boat or vessel in the Navy or
being built now or hereafter could
be sold or otherwise disposed of or
be chartered or scrapped without
the consent of Congress.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Naval Committee said it was de-
signed to prevent such transactions
as the recently disclosed transfer
of 20 torpedo boats to Britain and
the reported, but unconfrmed, sale
of l8 destroyers.
Representative Vinson said that
as soon as the bill became law, the
Navy would ask Congress for sup
Elemental appropriation of sl75,-
600. 900 to get it under way.
He also told the House that Navy
officials hoped to develop and bring
back to life the shipbuilding industry
of the Pacific Coast from Tacoma
Wash, to San Diego, Calf.
Chairman Vinson said the pro-
gram, which would be completed in
about seven years, was needed i'm
peratively' because conditions in
Europe made it evident that we
must arm as rapidly as possible. "
He reminded the House that Ger
many and Italy now have access to
shipbuilding facilities in France, Po-
land, Holland, Denmark and Bel
GUM, as well as their own.
More May Be Asked.
Nazi penetration in South Amer
lea has been considerable, he added,
and conditions there are "at the
boiling point" as a result.
Asserting a complete victory in
Europe would leave the axis powers
free for other ventures, Mr.. Vinson
declared the United States must
have complete freedom of action"
in both the Atlantic and Pacific and
said the proposed naval increase
would guarantee it.
Senate consideration of the bill is
not expected until after the political
conventions at the earliest.

appropriation bill was the last of
the special defense appropriations
asked by President Roosevelt, there

the work.

Board 10 Rule Wire
And Radio Facilities
As Defense Measure
Coordination Program
Designed to Guard
Communications
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

BY WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.
Development of comprehensive
program for coordination Of wire
and radio facilities for national de-
tense purposes will be inaugurated
this week.
President Roosevelt is expected to
name a special board to study the
communications problem, which was
not covered in plans for the Ma
tional Defense Commission.
The Federal Communications
Commission Is reported to be pre-
pairing the plan to set up special
board. following conferences among
its officials and those of Govern
ment departments primarily con-
cerned, including Navy, War and
State. 1t will be submitted to the
White House for approval early
this week.
The personnel of the board. it
was stated, has not been deter
mined, but it undoubtedly will in
clude representatives of these de-
partments. The Government now
has an agency for the ALLEGATION of
radio frequencies to Government
agencies, known as the Interde-
partment Radio Advisory Commit
tee, which consists of representa-
tives of 13 governmental agencies.
Under the present circumstances,
this group is believed too unwieldly,
however, and 1t is the plan to have
a board with full authority to act
on national defense needs. includ-
ing coordination of military and
civilian facilities.
Provision for Military Use.
The new board is expected to lay
q framework whereby methods will
be provided for military use Of all
facilities whenever they are required.
However, it was indicated that the
board may also 60 into the problem
of protecting communication lines
and radio facilities as we'll as laying

mand
F. C. c. Chairman James Law
renee Fly said it is not proposed to
have the Government take over and
operate communications facilities at
any time. The coordination plan
would merely provide for the most
efficient use of facilities, with full
power to act. The program is de-
signed to protect the facilities. to
guard them against interruption and
to provide for alternate facilities
upon failure of any particular cir
cult or circuits.
Radio "Blackouts" Possible.
One of the primary purposes OF
the plan would be to maintain radio
broadcasting, because, as Chairman
Fly pointed out, it would seriously
affect the morale of the people if
this were cut off. In wartime ma
tions often "blackout" areas to pre-
vent the use of radio signals as
beams on which plane invaders
might ride to military objectives.
1t is known here that one of the
most important factors in the sue
cess of German Army movements
is the effective functioning of its
communications. 1t is said the para
chute troops largely were used to cut
enemy communications behind the
lines, but the cuts were made in
such way that they were PROMPTLY
restored as soon as the German
troops captured the areas.
