1t Is G. H. @. force bombers and
fighters which Gen. Arnold contend
ed must be displaced promptly by
more modern craft, except for some
So long-range bombers of the type
which has flown repeatedly to South
America and return on good will and
mercy missions.
From Gen. Arnold, Gen. George C..
Marshall, chief of stan, and other
officials, Congress has received ex-
plantations why the Air Corps has
Jagged in some particulars behind
Europe, while the United States
long has maintained a position at
or near the top in aeronautical ad-
vances.
In general, the explanations were
higher costs, cumbersome procure
ment methods and frequent changes
in designs. In way, American
military planes are too good-"10
year planes"-as the Air Corps chief
dubbed them, whereas the German
warplanes were put together to last
for a few months.
1t was only with respect to the
"gadgets" that the Air Corps has
been on the wrong track Gen.
Arnold said.
Power Estimate Reduced.
The status of the Naval Air Force,
specialized auxiliary of sea power,
is somewhat similar to the Air Corps.
The estimate Of its relative power
has been reduced by the European
war developments.
In numbers, Rear Admiral John
H. Towers listed last month a total
of 1918. including 1857 combat
types, 288 trainers and 158 miscel-
laneous utility craft.
Under the extraordinary estimates
already submitted to Congress, both
forces are to be multiplied, the Air
Corps to 1000 planes and the Navy
to 10000, including the trainers re-
quired to school thousands of new
pilots annually.
Evening star., 1940-06-09

This limited them to operations
close to their base, the Air Corps
decided, whereas longer range light
bombers could be dispatched to meet
any threat before an attack reached
American shores.
During the day additional op-
position was expressed in Congress
to the release of the Army and Navy
planes.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive,
OF Wisconsin said he thought the
"trade-in" method of furnishing
planes to the Allies constituted a
"casuS belli." although he said he
did not wish to give the impression
that it would be seized upon as such
by any of the belligeren.s.
Il have never believed" Senator
La Toilette said, that there were
effective measures short of war. !
am opposed to our entering this
war as belligerent and am con-
vinced that there would be nothing
worse for this country than to be
half in and half out of the catas-
trophic conflict which is taking
place in Europe"
Police Leaders See Hoover.
Meanwhile, officers of the Inter-
national Association of Chiefs of
Police met with ]. Edgar Hoover,
director Of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, to set up a program
OF cooperation in national defense
matters. A spokesman said the reg
ularly constituted law enforcement
officials of the country were pre-
pared and adequately equipped to
handle national defense matters so
that there is no need for any
vigilante groups"
In Washington for the installa-
ton of Maj. Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent of police, as head
OF the association, the Board of
Officers spent several hours with
Mr.. Hoover discussing the results
of the past nine Months IN which
State and local authorities have
been working with Federal officials
in internal defense matters at the
behest of President Roosevelt. The
President called for this co-opera-
ton when declaring at the outbreak
OF the war that an emergency

wv keep our neaos aoove
y water, but just above
water" writes a Pennsylva-
MIA woman. ''For the past
ten years money matters have
been a constant anxiety to my
husband and myself. Not for
ourselves, but for our daugh-
ter, who is now 81. Ten years
ago Louise had everything,
she attended smart private
school, went about with a very
nice crowd of girls, and nat
urally supposed that her life was
to fall into pleasant lines.
"Then came the crash, which
affected my husband seriously.
We were buying our home; that
had to be sacrificed. We moved
to small but nice hotel apart
ment, promising Louise that it
was but temporary, but we have
found it a great struggle to
maintain even this much of
an appearance. Much service
is included in the rent, but
tips to elevator boys, porters,
chambermaids, window wash
ers, walters, amount to more
than the price Of one good
servant in private home. Jani-
tors and delivery boys must be
remembered regularly, and as no
laundry work is permitted in the
house that is an additional expense.
Indeed, everything we do costs mon
ey and with a $55 rent taken from
salary of about 1925 month even
my most careful management
leaves little for pleasures for Lou
Use. She cannot entertain very
much; we no longer have car, and
of course her clothes are simple and
few. My husband was quite i'll last
March, and although he is now well
again, he breads another breakdown
and has taken out more insurance
than it is comfortable for our fami-
ly to properly handle under the cir
cumstances in which we now find
ourselves.
Daughter Depressed.
"The unfortunate result of our
change in position has slowly af-
fected Louise. At first she attempt
ed to keep up with her old friends,
and as most of their families had
suffered too, this was not hard. But
now many have drifted away, or
have regained their old prosperity,
and she feels keenly that she cannot
keep pace with them. She cannot
drive about, buy clothes, join coun-
try clubs, and although she did take
a position for a short while in a
fashionable frock shop, she was UNI
able to stand the physical strain
and had to give it up. Many of the
incest girls, and indeed, some of
the wealthiest in town, have done
this, so that she felt no embarrass-
ment in trying it, but it was too
hard.
"She is extremely pretty and I'M
usually bright and attractive, or was
so. For she has grown silent and
depressed now, and I have consulted
a doctor and a psychopath about
her. There is nothing organically
wrong, but she does not sleep, takes
small interest in anything, and has
long fits of the blues. If could I
would send her on a long trip about
the world, hoping the change of
scene and contact with new friends
would shake her out of her depres-
sion, but that is impossible now for
many reasons.

There was a time that the Ma
tional League pennant chase looked
as though it might be a runaway.
First, the Brooklyn Dodgers won
nine straight and looked hotter than
four-alarm fire. Then the Gin
cinnati Reds gave the appearance
of cunning for 10-game lead by
July 4.
The result was inevitable, OF
course. The senior circuit is having
its customary brawl for the lead
and today the Dodgers and Reds
are tied, with 18 games won ana
lost.
The American League is having
nearly as desperate dispute for
first place between the Boston Red
Sox and Cleveland Indians. The
New York Yankees have assumed
winning ways and finally have es-
capped the cellar.
The baseball situation, in short,
still is as uncertain as the weather.
Derringer Takes Pounding.
Cncinnati's chances depend con-
siderably on big Paul Derringer,
who suddenly has changed from an
exclamation point to a question
mark. He has been knocked out Of
the box three times in his last five
games and the only reason he lasted
the route yesterday, as the New
York Giants beat Cincinnati, Ga,
was the great faith, hope and char
lty of Manager Bill McKechnie.
Johnny Rizzo hit two-rhn homer
to help give Derringer a three-run
lead, but Paul permitted the Giants
to rally for three runs in the sixth
and three more in the eighth. This
dropped him to four defeats and
three victories for the spring. Carl
Hubbell went his unceremonious way
with seven-hit pitching for his third
victory for the Giants.
Fat Freddy Fitzsimmons led the
Dodgers to 81 decision over the
pitiful Pittsburgh Pirates, giving
only six hits and pitching shutout
ball after the first. Brooklyn won
the game with two unearned runs in
the fifth following a tumble by
Arky Vaughan.

at one better and say hes it, But
now the title is sliced up like bar
