INDUCTION INTO
 ARMY FAR BEHIND
May Be 5O,OOO Men Be- hind By January-New
 Schedule Is Planned
BY JOHN A. REICHMANN United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 Washington, Dec. 11.-(UP)-The program for induction of national guardsmen and selective trainees into the army is behind schedule and may be 50,O00 men behind by January, informed officials said to- day.
 Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son, 1t was said, plans to issue a new schedule and explain the de- day press conference. On October IT he made public an induction schedule, charging then that what ever delays had occurred in con- struction of needed army canton ments was caused by the delay of Congress in passing necessary legis- lation.
 War department officials contend ed that induction would be complet- ed on schedule in June. They said delays would be confined to the ear- ly part of the year.
 First units of the guard were in- ducted September 16. They num- bered 65,000. Another 33,000 were inducted October IS. Plans had called for induction of 34,00O guards men between November IS and 25 and 126,000 between January 3 and 19.
 Induction Deferred.
 On November 9 the war depart ment announced that the induction of the 35th division, composed of Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri guardsmen, had been deferred until December g. The Seth cavalry bri- gade of Texas, now at Ft Bliss, was the only unit inducted November 18 in the period which had been scheduled to absorb 34,000 men.
 It had been planned to induct 30,- 900 selective service men in Noyem- Der. Only 10000 were inducted. The December call for 60,000 men was postponed with the explanation that it was to permit the men to have the holidays at home.
 The revised schedule calls for the induction of 100000 traineeS in Jan- uary, 10000 more than had been scheduled for that month. This, however, would leave the schedule 5000 men behind as compared with the October IT timetable.
 Officials believe that the plan to havo an army of 100000 men by June 30 can be carried out, provid- ing shortages of building material or labor do not develop. They pointed out that corps area com- manderS were reluctant to issue acquisitions for men until full equip ment-such as cooking equipment, etc.-are available. Each corps area commander must determine when his camps are ready to receive the men.

New York, Dec. 1.-Two famous Australian-born artists, Marjorie Lawrence, leading soprano of the Metropolitan Opera, and Percy Grainger, noted composer and pian- ist, will be featured at the "Domih- ions Night" benefit concert for Bundles for Britain to be held at Carnegie Hall, Friday, December 13.
 The benefit will be under the spe- cial patronage of Dominions groups here and of the Ministers to this country for South Africa, Canada and Australia. Proceeds of the re- cital will go to the Bundles for Britain fund for the purchase of emergency requirements, especially afraid shelter cots and other equipment desperately needed by the children of England
 Miss Lawrence's benefit concert, the first she has given in the United States to aid in the relief of the British people, will consist chiefly of selections from Gluck, Johannes Brahms and others. During her recent South American tour the Metropolitan star gave a benefit concert in Buenos Aires, the first musical benefit for Britain in the Argentine.
 AS special feature of the Carne- gie Hall concert, when Miss Law renee sings a group of MT. Grain gers arrangements of old folk songs, the famed pianist will desert the piano and accompany her on an especially-made small-sized guitar, assisted by the Durieux String En- semble.
 The folk songs are selections from among 500 wax recordings col- lected by MT. Grainger in out-of- the-way corners of the world over a period of 35 years, which the Con- greSSiOnal Library is now transfer

farm of a Falls Village burgher. The report says, 'Tt was very thin and hungry appearing, otherwise the weight would have been much mOre." That's a plain mis- statement. A g pound cat ain't hungry-appearing, it's either mighty old tom, or it's suffering from gland trouble and is over weight. Why Gosh, if John Schielke had snared himself a g pound wildcat we'd have had his picture in LIFE! Thirty-twO pounds is a lot of wildcat in any town, and up there on Under Mountain Road where the grazing $ poor and the chicken coOps are usually empty, such a monster is unthinkable. we wonder, was that pussy on W.P.A.? We will write Lee Kellogg and find out. Lee will kn0w.)
 Doc Gilyard advertised for Ma tured tramp cats to be used as blood donors to control the epi- zootic." He doesn't specify any price and he may be paying by weight. If he is, we'll just load a few Squaw Rockers into the car and go up to Canaan to catch few dozen of those thirty-two pounders. They'd qualify as tramp cats, all right. and if we injected a little wooly wildcat blood into our cats it would help.
 Just got an assignment from YANKEE for a story on Connec- ticut Iron. They read South Brit ain Briefs in Dublin, New Hamp- shire, too. While we're in Salis- bury, Sharpar0On, Joyceville, and way stations on this assignment, perhaps there'n be an opportunity to snare few wildcat kittens.
 Who remembers Harry Knox? Harry once sold water heaters and ranges for the power company in this area. He stuck it out for quite awhile and made host of friends. Harry was directly responsible for a good many folks getting their first hot bath, and he built load so fast the power company some times had to reduce the extension charges on rural lines, and go to the expense of installing bigger transformers. But MT. Knox wasn't happy hereabouts. He wanted more elbow room and a chance to grow up with the country. He moved.
 Now, on a New Hampshire hilI- side overlooking . valley that will make you reach for your camera, Harry Knox raises chickens, keeps 8 good watchdog, and contributes regularly to a bank account. When he is not raising chickens or gath ering eggs, you'll find this gentle man farmer working in a machine shop in Keene, 8 town just down the road and within easy haul of Marlboro.
 When you're around Marlboro, stop off and buy a dozen eggs from Harry Knox. You'll find those eggs fresh and you'll find Knox a fine fellow to steer you around the region by the best roads. Take along your coon hound. a lantern. and a gun. There's good hunting in that territory and the wardens are farther apart than in Con- necticut. You mustn't expect Harry to go hunting with you, be- cause he hasn't time. but you'll be directed to competent guides and onto lands where the coons run heavy and are not too wild for good sport. And, when you stop of, just say Hello" to a grand guy, for me. Qt looks now as If 1t would be spring before I can get to Marlboro.)

WASHINGTON, May 18.-Unltec States Senator Homer T. Bone, o1 the State of Washington, today said he believed the United States should build a ring of steel around the Western Hemisphere and keep out the European struggle.
 The Senator's remarks were called forth after two days of questioning witnesses before the Senate Ter ritories Committee on the Interior Department bill intended to provide settlement in and development ot Alaska by bringing into the Terri tory war refugees as employees of public service corporations to be set up under the bill.
 Senator Bone said he could not understand why war refugees, With whom we sympathize deeply, should be brought in to develop the Terri tory of Alaska when 10,000,000 Am ericans are unemployed.
 Senator Bone said it would be a dreadful thing to permit them 10 enter the Territory and later have to deport them.
 T have no quarrel on the idea ol helping the other fellow out but we will always have this problem at our doorsteps; if we cannot relieve our own how can we relieve the other fellow" said Senator Bone.

 Invasion
Tired Throng of Helpless Crowd Roads; Refugees
 Played Out

LONDON, May 18.--The British Trade legation, with trade attaches, stationed at Rotterdam and The Hague, have returned here and it is obvious that all were unnerved by the experience they have passed through. MT. Langley, head of the legation, and Mrs. Langley, said they were aroused from sleep about four in the morning of the invasion by the roar of bombers flying over Rot terdam, and adjoining country. Since, they have had no rest, each day and night being an inferno. Con- tinuous fighting, planes being shot down, and fresh bombers arriving, the marching of troops and move ments of mechanized forces of all descriptions, burning buildings and smoke filled atmosphere, dislocation of all services, and accommodating de- bris and filth made a vertible hell on earth.
 There were many cases of Dutch troops, as they passed along their own streets, being fired on by fifth column" Germans. who had machine guns at windows.
 Refugees Arrive
 Dutch refugees are arriving here. Most of them had been without food for days, and some were in need of medical treatment. All were care fully inspected, for there was a possibility of a few of Germans fifth Column operators being in the crowd.
