Library and Museum
Plans Announced
Jefferson Memorial
Associate Architects
To Design Structure

Plans for a new S3,750,000 Army
medical museum and library build
ing, replacing the present structure
located on the Mall at Seventh
street and Independence avenue
S. W., were announced today by the
War Department.
The New York architectural firm
of Eggers g. Higgins, who were as
sociated with the late John Russell
Pope, architect who designed the
National Gallery of Art, the Ar
chives Building and the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial, has been Sc
lected to design the new building.
Oficials said the old Army Medical
Museum, erected in 1887, constitutes
a grave fire hazard" to the 100000
books and manuscripts which make
the Army Medical Library the fore
most of its kind in the world.
Congress authorized construction
of the new building in June, 1888.
The sum of $4,000 for the design
and preparation of working draw
ings was appropriated last June.
The proposed building will be ap-
proximately 212 feet square and will
comprise 100000 cubic feet of
space. Facilities for the library will
be separate from the museum part
Of the building.
After preliminary plans have been
designed and prepared by the archi-
tects, an actual estimate of cost will
be secured. officials said Congress
then will be asked for authority and
funds to purchase the site recon-
mended and approved by the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Construction will start, it was said,
as soon as Congress makes further
appropriations.

ment that the mention of their
names in Norway is punishable by
forced labor in a German concen-
tration camp.

sooke under the auspices of the

ciety, introduced the royal refu-
gees as "the future king and queen
Of Norway"
DR.. Hambro displayed slides to
back up his contention that Nazi
devastation in Norway was even
Ereater than that wrought in Fin
land by the Russian war machine.
He said, however, that Norway is
still in the war mot as England
is. but we are waging war in our
cwn small way, fighting for demo-
cratic ideals against Germany"

the struggle not as the war of
England against Germany, but as
the war of England, Norway, Bel
gium, Holland and Czecho-S -Slovakia
against Germany.

government is active in London, he
said funds for the government are

Replacement Training
Program Of Army
To Start April |
20 of Fl Contonments
To Be Ready for Partial
Operation Then

Secretary of War Stimson said
today the Army would begin to in
augurate its new replacement train
ing program on April l, when 20 of
the q large cantonements being
built to accommodate 214,000 selec-
tive service men and instructors, will
be ready for partial" operation.
Because Of construction lags, it
was disclosed, the new replacement
centers will be able to accommodate
only about two-thirds of the new
selectees who will be inducted into
service by that time.
1t was originally planned to have
all 81 cantonements completed by
March IS, the date when the Army
would start inducing another group
of 100000 selectees for a years train
ing.
No Explanation of Lag.
Mr.. Stimson did not go into any
explanation why the camps are not
completed, but he said that 20 of
them, while not wholly finished, are
finished enough to accommodate all
the seiectees who will be inducted
by April /.
Between 10000 and 10000 men
will be inducted during March, he
explained. OF this number, it is
planned to send only 10000 men to
the new replacement centers by
April /, because of their incomplete
state.
Mr.. Stimson said the new replace
ment program is planned to sub
stitute the present method of plac-
ing selective service men Immediate
ly into ranks of Regular Army and
National Guard units to get their
initial training. That practice serves
to slow up the training of the estab-
lished units, he emphasized, so the
replacement idea was planned to
correct that fault.
Under the new system the men
will be sent to the replacement
centers few days after their induc-
ton to undergo 13 weeks of training
which will fit them to enter tactical
units of the Army and Guard.
Not 100 Per Cent at Start.
Because of the lag in the construc-
'tlon program, it was disclosed today
by Mr.. Stimson the Army will not
be able TO initiate the replacement
program 100 per cent at the start.
Mr.. Stimson also disclosed today
the Army is organizing seven rec
reational centers, so-called pleasure
resorts" for men now in training in
the Gulf Coast region. Such pro-
gram, he said, was planned because
of the numerous inquiries received
from mothers, relatives and gentle
men and ladies in Congress" about
the welfare of the men during hot
weather in the South.
Each camp will accommodate
about 500 soldiers every week end
Bathing beach facilities will be pro-
vided. The camps are to be located
at Panama City and Pensacola in
Florida; Mobile, Ala; Pascaquola
Biloxi and Gulfport, in Mississippi
and New Orleans.

Are You Telephone Lazy:

That a smooth, clear telephone
voice is much harder TO acquire
than an equally clear radio voice,
is obvious, because the engineer
who controls a radio voice going
out over the air can soften it or
amplify it to keep its volume even,
whereas your voice over the tele-
phone remains exactly as you send

mouthpiece that it is muffled. if
you shout so that the tones are
distorted, If you have that worst
of all habits of turning your face
away as you talk. so that the tones

are talking has to put up with
each of these handicaps.

II was hard to be firm with Tod

strawberry festivals to farm auc-

the Cord murder was the biggest
piece of news that had burst upon

that the editor was already hunt
