Target Ranges So Busy
Schedules Are Staggered
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Department reported
today that National Guard units
would have to "stagger" their use of
artillery practice ranges and COM
bat ranges in order to make them
available to all Guard units under
going intensive training.
Similarly, the department said,
maneuver areas which offer varied
types of terrain-wooded, open, nat
or rolling-must be rotated to az
ford all organizations an oppor-
tunity to operate over different
types Of ground.
This situation was reported In q
department commencement that G.
H. @. of the Army had prepared a
military training schedule to guide
the commanders of National Guard
divisions now undergoing Federal
training or soon to be indicted into
the Federal service.
This flexible training schedule,
the department said, was prepared
under the assumption that the
initial limited availability OF train
ing center facilities" would require
rearranging the sequence OF train
ing shown in order to avoid training
"bottlenecks."

Full Military Aid
10 England Urged
In Radio Debate
Rex Stout and lneersoll
Opposed by Senator Holt
And Representative Mas

Full military aid to England" was
urged by two speakers on the Ameri-
can Forum of the Air last night as
the best procedure for defending the
United States against the totali-
tartan threat of world domination,
Author Rex Stout, speaking on the
Mutual network broadcast from the
Willard Hotel, said millions of OPP
pressed persons in Europe would be
given hope If this country places
itself on record as an enemy Of the
dictator nations.
"We are now at war morally and
practically" he asserted. why
don't we declare war? I don't know
Why don't WEI"
Ralph Ingersoll, publisher Of the
newspaper PM and writer of series
of articles on England's defense
now appearing in The Star-main-
tanned that England's battle is ''our
battle" England needs the help Of
the United States because she is
fighting the resources Of the Nazi-
dominated Europe, he declared, but
this does not mean necessarily that
she needs the man power of our
armed forces.
IT have just returned from Eng
land" he explained, land I saw the
abundance of men that it has. 1t
does need our material aid, and
with 1t England can win the war"
Holt Protests Full Aid.
Senator Holt of West Virginia
protested that full military aid"
could mean nothing but war. He
objected to the view that England
Is the last defender Of democracy In
Europe.
England is not interested in de-
mocracy," he asserted. I'm all of
Englands history, when has she
ever given democracy to a country
that did not win freedom itself? 1t
is not our war. We are not now
prepared for war. We should not
sacrifice our democracy here for
power politics abroad"
Representative Mas of Minneso-
ia, a World War veteran and Re-
serve officer, argued that for the
United States to enter the war now
would defeat the purpose of both
this country and England. Once at
war, this country would need all its
war supplies and could no longer
send a large share of them to Eng
land, he asserted, and the Nations
lack of preparedness would make
our entry suicidal.
IF we become actively engaged
now in the European war" he ex-
planned, tits dead certainty that
a far more dangerous war for us
would Immediately break out in the
Pacific. We have only one Navy
and it can't successfully fight in the
Atlantic and the Pacific at the
same time"
Mr.. Stout and Senator Holt ex-
changed sharp words during the re-
buttal period of the broadcast. Mr..
Stout described the Senator's talk
as a good soap-box grafton" and
charged that Senator Holt was max
ing personal remarks and misquot-
ing what he had said previously.
That might go in the United
States Senate" Mr.. Stout told the
Senator, but it does not go here

By ALICE EVERSMAN.

A program eXcellently played,
with each selection holding some
special point of interest, was pre-
sented yesterday afternoon by the
Natioral Symphony Orchestra at
Constitution Hall. Foi this concert
in the Beloved Symphonic Mas
terpieces" series DR.. Kinder bal
anced the old with the new in the
arrangement of numbers. the whole
forming a most interesting pro-
gram.
The splendid performance of the
orchestra overshadowed everything
else. The tonal quality was finer
and richer than ever before, while
the spirit that animated the inter-
pretations was unanimous among
the players. DR.. Kinder was in an
inspired mood Exacting in detail
and drawing forth precise nuances.
he achieved a result that kindled
the enthusiasm of his audience.
1t was Scriabin's Two Etudes,"
however, that nearly stole the
show" This modern masters studies
for piano had been arranged for
orchestra by the gifted local COM
poser, La Sale Spier, and so ef-
fective were the prescriptions that
the audience was delighted. Un-
abating applause greeted the con-
ductor, the orchestra and Mr.. Spier,
discovered modestly listening in the
balcony, but that was not enough,
and sensing it DR.. Kinder offered
to play the second etude a second
time.
Works Have Tinge Of Chopin.
Scriabin, who has been called the
Russian Chopin, amply showed the
dimensions of his genius in these
two short numbers. A tinge of
Chopin he carried about with him,
but there is a solid quality in 1t
and a clarity in the expression of it
that gives him his own individual
ity. The Russian turn of phrase,
the Russian melody and the Rus
sian fire permeate them with an
indelible stamp, yet the fashion,
ing of these ingredients eschews
the ordinary Russian character and
above all the Russian melancholy
There is spirit of light reflected
in the first etude that gives it
spaciousness and grace, while the
more vigorous second study has
might and emotional fire marvel
ously projected in the broken swing
Of the rhythms. Mr. Spier has called
upon the orchestral resources with
rare skill to color with greater
power both the urgent melody of
the first and the unleashed surge of
the second etude. The perform
ance yesterday was the first in this
arrangement.
The National Symphony Orches-
ira has played before the Enesco
"Rumanian Rhapsody in D Major
OPP. IL, No. 2" which preceded the
Scriabin number, but yesterdays
performance was more finished in
outline. The rhapsody has a nos
talgic quality about it with its folk
theme and the loving treatment of
them. Enesco has given deeper
poignancy to some of these melo-
dies by the use of solo instruments
in the orchestra and has woven
them into a whole with many de-
vices for augmenting the emotional
play and for the distinction of con-
trasts. Sanford Schonbach, first
violist, and William Schnabel. Eng
lish horn, shared in the applause for
their fine playing.

GOVERNOR IN
WASHINGTON
On COLE Bill

WASHINGTON. d. C.-The State
of Montana this week threw Its
strength into the effort to halt the
passage of the Cole Bill which pro-
poses federal control of the oil in
dustry, with the arrival here OF
Governor Roy E. Ayers and r. P.
Jackson, secretary of the Oil Con-
servation Board OF Montana Both
are stoutly opposed to the measure
and they are Joining forces with
the governors of practically all of
the oil producing states who are
appearing at the house committee
hearings.
The Importance of hating the
Cole bill, from the viewpoint of the
best interests of the state of Mon
tana is reflected in the fact that
the departure from the state of
Governor Ayers marks the first
time in two years that Lieut. Gov
ernor Hugh R. Adair. Helena at
torney. has been called upon to
function as acting governor.
The determined fight of Harold
L. Ickes, aspirant for the regency
of the oil industry. to force the
bill through congress. has forced
the governors and regulatory bod
les of all oil producing states to ap-
pear before the Cole subcommittee
None has yet gone of record in
favor of the federal control plan.
Chairman Cole of the committee
has appeared to be none too enthu-
iastic about the bill In a recent
statement, issued for publication,
he said:
my own personal views on some
phases of this problem are well
known. That is, / have favored in
the past control of production sup
ported by adequate state law.
prefer this to Federal control
Petroleum is a resource the waste
of which must never be tolerated,
and if permitted without hope of
abatement must be in
the public interest subject to Fed
eral legislation
Opponents of the Cole bill point |
to the fact that from a statistical |
standpoint, the oil industry has !
never been in better condition. The |
only deterrent is continued impor- |
tation of foreign crude and the dan
ger of further disruption of the in
dustry by taking down the bars to

ties have no control.
