APPROPRIATELY 20 FAMILY
HEADS WILL BE DIS
MISSED

First Lieutenant William E. P.
Roberts, of the 265th Coast Ar
tillery, Florida National Guard,
announced this morning that ap-
proximately twenty recruits will
be needed for the local unit when
the services of family heads will
be dispensed with in accordance
with the national law.
Young men who are ply
sically fit and unemployed, and
with patriotism enough to assist
our country with its national de-
Tense are needed now, Lieut..
Roberts. who is recruiting officer
for this area, declared this morn
ing.
Information pertaining to en-
listment in the local unit will be
"cheerfully given to those who
may be interested. Just come
up to the National Guard Ar
mory. situated at the corner of
White and Southland streets. dur
ing the hours of 700 a. m. to
400 p: m. any day, the recruit
ing officer stated
Pertaining to the National
Guard. the following article was
published in the June 18th issue
of Life:
In the fat years of peace,
many complacent Americans
came to think of and treat their
National Guard as an outfit of
grown-up Boy Scouts who liked
to play war On May 31st they
were abruptly snapped out of
that illusion and made to realize
that the National Guard is ex-
actly what its name implies
Americans, no longer COM
placent, may now thank God that
some 100000 of their fellow citi-
zens have been willing to sacri-
flee spare time and effort, give up
their vacations and risk their
jobs, in order to learn how to de-
fend their country. To other
citizens who in the present crisis
want to do more than talk about
Strengthening their country, the
National Guard now offers a
chance to help. 7" '''{ 49,.
Since then, the President of
the United States has been au-
ttorized by Congress to call the
Guards into active service for one
year. -5t ss:- - e'.H-

Britain sends most of the

canal daily In peace time.
Italy Is second largest user
of the canal; Germany third.
If the Axis powers could cap

preparation for 300 additional
units to be built at Pensacola
base to cost 100000.
Six thousand eight hundred
additional housing units are
needed at Miami. Pensacola. Tam
pa, Jacksonville and Key West,
according to Senator Pepper. to
provide necessary housing facili-
ties at these pivot Florida bases
in the National Defense Pro-
gram.
The senator announced that
these estimates have been arriv-
ed at by the Army and Navy.
and he said that an expenditure
of approximately $40, SOC, 0OO
would be necessary for their con-
Struction. s.s
The estimates by cities follow:
Jacksonville, 5000 units;
Miami. 900 units;
Pensacola, 800 units;
Tampa, 800 units;
Key West, 200 units.
(S-Unofficial estimates.)
Senator Pepper said that a bill
to provide $3OO,OOO,0O0 for such
construction had been introduced
in the Senate by Senator Wagner
Of New York.
sit is my opinion, the Florida
senator declared, that this
amount may be somewhat cut
and this would no doubt reduce
the funds for construction in
Florida, as elsewhere. where i'm
portant bases are being estab-
lished for the aviation training
or where shipyards and navy
yards are constructing various
types of craft.

disposition to overthrow the Unit-- ed States government by force Be- longing to the Russian branch oi the Communist party likely would be enough to bar a candidate for citizenship. That, at least, was the test which Harry Bridges, West Coast waterfront labor leader, had to pass to escarr deportation proceedings Lately Dean Landis l of Harvard Law School, sitting as examiner, cleared him of that charge. Presumably he may now renew his suit to become a citizen. MAY TAKE AWAY RIGHTS
 Yet along comes J. Edgar Hoover and turns up trio of naturalized citizens to hom no such test can now be applied. They can be jailed if convicted of conspiring to use violence against the Government. But the far more powerful menace of a possible deportation could not act as restraining influence.
 Naturalized citizens can plot and conspire and intrigue to their hearts content to upset the Government they pledged themselves to support without jeopardizing their resi- dence here. Like ny native born Yankee, they can be deprived of rights of citizenship for felonies, but not deported.
 We have listened for a half dozen years to vitriolic oupourings in Con- gress against the most law abiding aliens who happened to be here with the most peaceful intent. but not even Senator Reynolds of North Carolina, most rabid alien batter, has reached out to suggest an amendment to the law to crack down on the lads from across the sea who go sour on the Govern ment after ducking into the safety zone.
