WASHINGTON - The PreSlden- tial inauguratio tion is nearly three months off but already white-over- alled carpenters are busy erecting stands and seats on Capitol Plaza. Reason for this unusual haste is the defense program.
 If we waited much longer" eX- plains David Lynn, veteran Capitol Architect, we wouldn't be able to get any lumber. The erection of the great camps for the selective service trainees has caused short age in the lumber market The Gov ernment is buying up all the good lumber it can get for the canton ments
 The lumber shortage will also affect the seating capacity. There will be room for only 12,500 specta- tors. 1000 less than in 1887. Con- gress appropriated the same amount of money as four years ago, but with increased material and lumber costs the $35,000 isn't going as far.

forsings and machining Of the rs
millimeter shell. Under the enlarged
program, orders will be placed with
several hundred plants for the man
ufacture Of approximately IS critical
military items.
In another important national de-
fense move, Congress, last session,
authorized an expenditure of $780,
000, 900 over . four-year period for
the acquisition Of stocks Of strategic
war materials. These include ma
terials not produced in the United
States and those OF which the do
mestic supply Is insufficient.
Vital Materials Needed.
According to the Army and Navy
Munitions Board the United States
depends almost entirely on foreign
sources for the following materials:
Autonomy, chromium, manganese,
Manila fiber, nickel, quartz crystals,
quinine, rubber, silk and tin. Do
mestic supplies Of three other stra-
tegic materials are inadequate.
These three are mica, mercury, or
quicksilver, and tungsten.
Strategic materials as defined
by the board, "are those materials
essential to the national defense for
the supply of which In war depend
ence must be placed, in whole, or in
part, on sources outside the CONT
mental limits Of the United States
and for which strict conservation
and distribution control measures
will be necessary
In indorsing the bill to assemble
stock files of strategic materials in
the United States, Secretary Hull
said, 'The existence of such reserves
in this country should be of mate
rial assistance in time of peace IN
guaranteeing freedom of action to
this Government in maintaining a
policy of neutrality or non-involve-
ment in international conflicts:
without such reserves we, might find
essential supplies Of these materials
largely or entirely in the control of
foreign governments"

mobilization Of the fleet win require
the commissioning Of warships now
out Of commission, the conversion Of
merchant vessels to naval auxiNaries
and the equipment Of additional
personnel. Manufacture and deliv-
cry Of this material will require sew
eral months, II not longer. Like the
Army, the Navy is also trying to
accumulate reserve stock Of stra-
tegic and critical materials, which
will be needed on mobilization day.
The present plan calls for the ex-
penditure of about $11 900 900 an
nually for the accumulation Of re-
serve materials for the Navy.
In its petroleum reserves In Cali
fornia and Wyoming and its oil
shale reserves in Colorado and Utah
the Navy has on hand large fuel
reserves available for a future emer-
gency. For the current fiscal year
the Navy will use about 5000 900
barrels Of oil. Wartime operations
would enormously increase the
Navy's consumption of fuel oil.
Evening star., 1940-02-21

large additional appropriations Will
be necessary.
In the Garand semi automatic
rife the American soldier, In the
opinion of Army experts, now has
the worlds finest infantry weapon.
This weapon, which has taken 20
years to develop, increases infantry
f1repower by two and a half times.
Until recently Government arsenals
have been able to turn out but Is
or 20 of the new rifles day. Pro-
duction now has been stepped up,
and within two years the War De-
partment expects to equip all Regu-
lar and National Guard infantry
units with the new weapon.
The Army still has on hand large
stocks of World War ammunition
and powder. These supplies are de-
teriorating. Renovation of World
War ammunition and powder and
replacement OF badly deteriorated
stocks are part of the critical items
program. Handling of below-par
ammunition is often dangerous,
another reason why 1t should be re-
placed.
Artillery Well Supplied.
The field artillery has plenty of
guns, but most of them are of World
War, or earlier, vintage. The French
75-mm. guns used by the A. E. F. are
still good artillery weapon. With
the funds recently made available
for this purpose the Army is mod
ernizing It's 75s and other World War
artillery. Though new field artil-
lery guns have been developed, both
light and heavy, more efficient and
with longer ranges than those now
IN use of corresponding calibers,
production in quantities SUFFICIENT to
equip large army would take many
months.
Our infantry tanks and cavalry
combat cars-tanks under a differ
ent name-are probably as good as
their foreign counterparts, but the
Army has comparatively few Of
them. In addition to tanks, the
e110,000,000 appropriation for criti-
cal material will give the Army
more anti-tank and anti-aircraft
guns, f1re-control instruments, sig
nal equipment and gas masks.
Congress last year also authorized
. s34,500,000 appropriation to place
educational orders" with industry.
In national emergency, many mil
itary items for which there is no
commercial use will be needed in
large quantities. A factory will
reach quantity production much
quicker if 1t knows in advance how
to make a military item and if it
has acquired the tools and other spe-
cial equipment needed for its manu-
facture.
Though the Educational Orders

Act was passed in 1898 the initial
appropriation was small, about $2.-
100000 the first year. Under the
act, the Secretary Of War was au-
thorized to place educational orders
with private concerns for war muni-
tions of special or technical design
and commercial in character.
No factory may be given more than
one educational order for the manu-
facture of the same article within
any period Of three successive years.
Bids are solicited by the War De-
partment only from those firms
Judged competent in time of war to
manufacture the designated items.
For the 1899 program the War
Department, in its educational or
ders, concentrated on six items
anti-aircraft searchlights, gas masks,
semi-automatic rifles, mechanizing

Chip-Chop! Chip-C Chop!

reporter)
Local ax-swingers and oldtime
lumber-jacks gather here today 10
see Peter McLaren chop his durnd-
est. Peter is the man who the ak
has made famous. He chops off logs
while others haggle. You get $50
in cold cash if you beat him today,
but you're not allowed to use his
brand of ax-o, no. OF course you
can think yours is a plumb-good
one but you can't swing a plumb in
contest against him. Grand
pappy" who is so this spring says
he'd take him on for chopping
bout if it wasn't for that gol-darn
rheumatism. "Grandpappy" says
he has an ak he's had for nigh unto
65 years. He's had II new handles
put in it and has had three new
blades for it and he thinks it's got
several good years in it yet. He
says the way to chop is to chop and
just keep right at it. No women
folks have signifed any intention
of entering the contest though a
number claim they've had a lot OF
training this winter. Stand back
folks-Peter McLaren is near the
George Hall store and the chips are
flying Watch out over there, Ad-
am Oldcodger, or you'll get one OF
them chips in your eye.
