War Orders Inspire
Move 10 Cut Army's
Education Fund
Allied Buying Missions
Wont Newer Planes Than
They Now Are Allowed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Foreign purchases of munitions in
the United States inspired tenta-
tive congressional move today to
curtail the Army's $4,000, 900 pro-
gram for educating" private indus
try in making essential war supplies.
One group of economy minded
legislators took the position that the
program might be trimmed because
allied war orders-in hand or antici-
pated-Would train the manufactur-
ers without expense to the country.
Fresh fuel was added to the war;
plane controversy, meanwhile, by
the disclosure that the British and
French purchasing missions were
seeking permission to buy later
model military aircraft in the
United States than those already
released by War and Navy Depart
ments.
Plane ObsOlescence Feared.
The allies attitude is that any,
thing other than the newest planes
would be obsolete bv the time of
delivery. The fact that manufac-
turers cannot fill most of the mis-
sions orders before 194l was said
to have motivated request to in
spect late types. >
Asked about a report that an
important statement of policy on
the planes sales was imminent,
White House Secretary Stephen T.
Early said he supposed if anything
OF the kind is being planned it
probably will come from the War
Department and be addressed to the
House Military Affairs Committee.
Discusses Plane Sales.
In further discussion of reports
CT disagreement among the Govern
nient officials controlling sales of
planes abroad, Mr. Early said If the
agreement seems out of reach, the
matter may be taken up in confer
ence with the President. The avia-
ton advisors of three departments
met with Mr.. Roosevelt about
week ago. but it was not disclosed
whether this particular problem was
discussed at that time.
The decision on the Army's ed
ucational" munitions orders rested
with members of the House Military
Appropriations Subcommittee. Cast
ing about for places to whittle the
Army's s868,Ol3,743 budget, some
mentioned the program as a likely
spot
The Army's estimates called for
sl6,250,000 for that purpose. Con-
gress appropriated s14,250,0O0 for
the program last year and author
lied total expenditure of $40, 600, 900.
Paves Way for Mass Output.
Under the program, relatively
small orders for special war ma
terlals not manufactured CONNER
cially-such as gas masks, fuses and
small arms-are placed with va
rious manufacturers, to prepare
them for speedy mass production In
evert Of a national emergency.
Economy advocates said that, in
view Of increased buying by Euro
pean belligerents, the 1920 900 item
for educational orders could be
drastically trimmed If not elm
mated.
Supporters of the educational
program contended that so far most
foreign purchases have been linn
tied to aircraft and powder, items
not involved to any great degree
in the training program. They urged
any curtailment protect vital war
industries which are not benefit
ing by orders from abroad.

Planting Trees

The continued loss of fine
old trees in Smyrna is becom-
ing a serious problem, and one
that should be given consider
able thought by both proper
ty owners and town council.
1t is the practice in other
towns who are progressive
and far-sighted to plant a tree
in the place of each one cut
down. Why can't Smyrna fol
low this policy? The initial
output for a small tree would
more than pay for itself in
beauty and shade. Civic pride
should prompt council to en-
courage a tree planting cam
paign, before it is too late.
Let us help make this town of
Smyrna not only progressive,
but beautiful.
