diately available to be sent wherever
our common interest in the Western
Hemisphere might require their
presence" Gen. Marshall said that
a ground garrison of one battalion of
infantry and a field artillery de-
tachment should be sent as quickly
as possible to the Army's projected
SIP 100000 air base at Anchorage.
Alaska.
Russian Bases Established.
Well Informed congressional
sources said recently the Army's
concern over the need for the An
chorage base was predicated on
information that Russia had estab-
lished naval and air bases on the
nearby Siberian coast.
THE situation has forced a revi-
sion of our plans,' the general said.
I'VE have got to get men up there
on the ground. We have got to put
in temporary air fields and run
ways"
Gen. Marshall opposed suggestions
that the Citizens Military Training
Camps be expanded to meet the
Army's personnel demands. Instead,
he said, he favored plan, already
authorized under the National De-
tense Act but never employed, under
which young men could be recruited
for the enlisted reserves, trained
for three or four months and then
allowed to 60 back to their civilian
pursuits.

Spokesman for the Georgetown

other today at hearing before the
Commissioners on a proposal for
a ban on parking of automobiles on
M street in Georgetown.
B. H. Meyer, representing the

striction was necessary because of
traffic congestion, and William A.
Maio, representing the business
men, protested that such a rule
would put a blight on NJ street
business.
The Commissioners deferred ac-

by Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer which would ban parking on

evening rush periods but permit

Gov. James Attack on
Louisiana Senators
Doesn't Amount to
Hill of Beuns in
Washington He Says

Washington today was the battle.
ground on which Louisiana politics
was being fought. with Senator
Overton wheeling up his big guns
for a blast at Gov Sam Houston
Jones, who is visiting here.
Gov. Jones yesterday drew bead
on his States two Senators, stating
that their bitter stand" against
the Governors reform ticket, which
swept the Long machine on to the
junk heap, did not entitle them to
a return to the Senate.
Senator Overton issued a state
ment which said that Mr.. Jones
didn't amount to hill of beans
in Washington. Senator Ellender,
the other Louisianan in the Senate
said he would make no comment,
but attaches at his Office indicated
| Mr.. OVerton's blast went for him,
| too.
Senator Overton's statement in
answer to Mr.. Jones denunciation
of him said:
| 1T i'll becomes a Governor of
Louisiana to make a bid, as Gov.
Jones did, for a conference with
reporters in the National Capital
and, after denouncing his own
State, undertake to repudiate the
two United States Senators elected
from Louisiana.
my term does not expire until
January, l945, at which time Jones
will have passed forever from the
political scene; and Senator Ellen
der's term does not expire until
January, 1913.
L was elected without opposition;
1t took two primary elections and a
tremendous campaign fund to put
Jones into the governorship. His
criticism of the two United States
Senators from Louisiana will fall
here on deaf ears.
According to Jones. the sin COM
mitted by the two United States
Senators was not supporting him as
the self-styled reform Governor.
Jones has yet to give any evidence
OF his being friend of reform. His
action has been limited to addressing
men out OF office-a procedure not
resorted to in Louisiana since carpet
bag days-in preparing to order a
new election in New Orleans and in
superseding the district attorneys
with emissaries of the Attorney Gen.
erals Office, device against which
he rallied in the campaign for the
governorship. Is Jones sincere in
his statement that: The day of
dictatorship is over in Louisiana?'
1T would be better for Jones II
he would undertake to confine his
activities in Washington to carry
ing out his prediction and post
election promises to legislate un-
restricted production of sugar cane
IN Louisiana. to relieve Louisiana
and other States from making
sponsors contribution of Is per
cent to w. P. A. projects, and to-
ward having the Federal Govern
ment bear the entire cost of a s3o-
a-month old-age pension.
Jones may be temporarily cock
o the walk in Louisiana, but he
doesn't amount to = hill of beans
IN Washington"
