declared.
Increase in Pilot Training.
The War Department has sub
mitted estimates to the Budget Bu-
reau for another large increase in
the pilot-training program. He de-
clined, however, to state how much.
Gen. Marshall said he was tire
mendously impressed" with what he
saw of the Army in the field on
his recent inspection tour in South
eastern States and commented on
the high state of morale and the
fine type" of men coming into the
Army. All the ground troops have
suf11clent equipment for training
purposes, he said.
Gen. Marshall discussed various
phases of airplane production, "off
the record"
He declared the units of the Reg
ulaf Army, which he described as
consisting now of the men who
have enlisted for three years, have
mad to take it on the nose" These
Regular Army units are continuing
to have hard time, he said, be-
cause the general staff must draw
on their strength of experienced
men to provide instructors at the
large replacement centers.
No Increase in Army.
They must also furnish expert
enced men to the various Army
schools, the numerous corps and
brigade stats and new units being
put into the service. The draft, he
declared. has deprived them of
many of their key" men.
The National Guard units, Gen.
Marshall said, have been protected
from this drain of experienced Off
GERS and men, so training can be
perfected.
Gen. Marshall said the Army's
strength today was LOSS, 500 men. 1t
consists of 4S7000 regulars, 268 500
National Guard, $4,000 Reserve Off
GERS, and 265 900 selective service
trainees.
Gen. Marshall said the War De-
partment is not planning to ask
for additional men in the Army at
present. He indicated, however, that
an increase in the pilot program
for the Air Corps was "in the bag"

Miss Elliott Urges Dealers
10 Avoid Price Spiral

Pricing policies designed to guard
against "a spiral of cost and price
increases were urged for manufac-
turers and distributors of consumer
goods today by Miss Harriet Elliott.
consumer commissioner of the Ma
nonal Defense Council.
The recommendation were con-
tanned in a letter from Miss Elliott
to B. j. Calm, president of B. Kup-
penheimer & Co., manufacturers of
mems clothing, whom she thanked
for assurance that his company was
seeking to avoid unjustifed price
increase.
Miss Elliott proposed that antici-
pated cost increases which have not
yet materialized should not be made
the basis for price advances; that
when prices of new goods advance.
inventories should be averaged
rather than marked up to the new
level; that rigid adherence to the
practice of traditional rates of
markup should be discouraged un-
less it can be shown that costs have
advanced by an equivalent amount

Mine Wage Chairman
Is Optimistic Over
Chance for Contract
Van Horn Says Agreement
Can Be Signed by
April ] DeudIine
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 20.-Ezra Van
Horn, Cleveland coal executive and
spokesman for coal operators in the
Appalachian bituminous area, said
today he believed a new contract
with the United Mine Workers of
America &C. I. o. could be nego-
tiated by April l, termination date
of the present contract, If joint
negotiators got down to CLOSE dis
cussion of the issues"
At the conclusion Of a meeting
with so coal operators represent
ing signatory associations in the
eight-State area, Van Horn, who is
permanent chairman of the Joint
wage conference, expressed optimism
over the negotiations and added that
Il think we (the negotiators) have
made progress"
At the outset of the Joint Wage
Conference, the miners presented
demands for $1-a-day Increase
miners in Northern fields now get
$6 a day, in the South S560-and
other benefits. The operators re-
jected the demands, contending that
to meet them would raise sharply
the cost of coal to consumers and
proposed extension of the present
two-year agreement for another two
years.
Subcommittee at Work.
A joint subcommittee of four op-
orators and four miners is now en-
gagged in the actual negotiations
for new contract.
Mr.. Van Horn said the operators
authorized their subcommittee to
continue negotiations and proceed
to cover remaining points of miners
demands which have not yet been
discussed in the closed negotiating
sessions.
He said the operators would re-
turn to their respective districts to-
day and discuss with their home
ofices the status of the joint con-
ferences. All but two of the 81 sig
natory associations represented in
the Appalachian joint wage agree
ment were represented today. The
Michigan association and the PAN
handle Of Northern West Virginia
were not represented.
Found Talks Beneficial"
The industry's spokesman said
the operators had found it in the
past quite beneficial" to apprise
the operators from time to time
what had occurred in the secret
negotiations and for that reason
today'S assembly was called.
He added that it was difficult to
compare progress made this year
with conferences of the past be-
cause Il believe the miners have
submitted more proposals than they
had in the past"
He said he hoped to make point
by point decisions in negotiat. ,ns
next week.

Executor r'sPeiition

Estote Wus Inventoried
At Sl28, ,967, Court Is
Told in Rent PIeu
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. March 20.-A
petition to Orphans Court by the
executor of the estate OF the late
John D. Shibe for the right to COL
lect real estate rents disclosed to-
day that debts of the former presi-
dent of the Athletics Baseball Club
amounted to $l2l,280.
The executor, Stoughton Sterling,
said in the petition that a personal
estate left by Mr.. Shibe on his death
in 1887, inventoried at S128,967, is
probably insufficient for the pay
ment of debts"
The petition also showed that
there were contingent OBLIGATIONS
those dependent on some unpredict-
able future event-amounted to
s400,000 and s152.O00.
The contingent obligations were
listed as Mr.. Shibe's surety liability
of 100000 on note given by Will
liam M. Richardson, and on a note
of S152,000 given by the Philadelphia
Export Co., a grain firm headed by
Mr.. Richardson.
Mr.. Richardson came into promi-
nence in the sports world some years
ago when he acquired an interest
in the Washington American League
Baseball Club
Mr.. Shibe's will left all his estate
to his widow, Mrs. Ethel M. Shibe.
On Mr.. Sterling's petition, the court
directed her to show cause why rent
ais from real estate included in the
estate should not be collected by the
executor and applied to payment of
| the debts.
Mrs. Shibe disposed of her interest
in the Athletics to Connie Mack,
veteran manager, last December.
The purchase of 14l shares, left by
Mr.. Shibe to his widow, gave Mr..
Mack the controlling interest in the
/ baseball club.

Down the Stretch
BY GREG JOHNSON.


If it's horse racing the sport low
ers hereabout desire, they certainly
will get their I'LL this spring at the
nearby Maryland tracks.
Maryland's governing body has
granted both Bowie, which opens
April /, and Havre.de Grace, which
follows, permission to stage eight
fiat races daily.
This Is one more race than in past
seasons Pimlico, which winds up
Maryland's spring campaign in May,
also has been given permission to
stage eight fiat races on days its
steeplechase event fails to fill.
Heretofore, Pimlico and Laurel,
which operates in October, have
been offering seven nat and a jump
ing event.
Should the eight-race program
meet with the fans approval-in
other words, of the extra event pro-
duces needed State revenue-then
it wouldn't be surprising If all Of
Maryland's nine tracks, including
the five of less than a mile, stage
eight-race cards next fall.
Cumberland, Bel Air and Timo-
mum, like Pimlico and Laurel, would
only offer eight fat races on days
their jumping event failed to attract
sufficient entries.
We are going on record right now
as predicting a victory for Charles
S. Howard's Midland in the $4,000
Dixie at Pimlico, even though the
l LIS mile test doesn't take place
until May. Our reason for such .
prediction ID the fact that Midland,
which has won four stakes this year,
two of them with 130 pounds up, has
been let into the May classic with
only 129 pounds.
Howard is Americas leading win
ming owner for 1941. He should
continue to hold that place through
out the year If Midland retains his
present form and racing secretaries
allow him to get into rich stakes
so lightly weighted. From what
Mloland has shown last year and
during the present season, he
should be toting at least 1873 pounds
in the Dixie.
