Army May Ask Year. S
Longer Service for
National Guard
Request for Authority
To Depend on Status
OF World Affairs
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
War Department officials said to-
day the Army may ask Congress for
authority to keep the National
Guard in service for an additional
six months or year.
Whether the Guardsmen are kept
in uniform beyond the current years
period of training will depend, it
was explained, on the tenseness of
the international situation.
Some 100000 Guard officers and
men have been mobilized thus far
under authority Congress voted last
summer.
Training Leaders Needed.
Should they be demobilized at
the conclusion of the current years
service, the Army might be faced
with serious situation" because
of shortage of trained man power
to train the selective service re-
cruits called to the colors under a
continuous process. it was explained.
Some of the difficulties would be
Offset, however, officials said, by the
expansion of the Regular Army,
which has been increased steadily
for the last two years to a present
total of nearly 100000 officers and
men.
Gen George C. Marshall, Army
Chief of Staff, was reported to feel
that second years service for the
National Guard was advisable in the
light of the present international
outlook, and that a minimum of six
months was indispensable.
Induction Delays Upset Plan.
He has told congressional and
other conferees that the decision
would depend on the course of
everts.
The original general staff scheme
to create adequate land forces from
the Regulars, Guardsmen and
selectees has been upset, officials
said, by the delay in inducting the
selectees. Only 100000 have been
modified thus far, whereas original
schedules provided that 400 900
should be in uniform by March Is.
Secretary Stimson has stressed,
however, that 1,4l8,00O men are ex-
pecUed to be in service by the end
of June, as contemplated from the
starr, regardless of lags in the con-
struction of camps and canton
mentS.

It's no simple matter of pulling

tective must rally corporals guard.
1t means guards at every entry and
exit to dissuade guests from going
out. Bell boys, porters and assistant
managers must stand guard at
darkened stairwayS down which
cropping guests might fall. Hundreds
of fire escape lights must be
switched off individually.

the announcement that Dale B.

claimed, to maintain more ener-

The new director succeeds Bradley
B. Smith, who is being retained at

"easy going" to suit Secretary Ickes,
who felt the need for a more force

defense emergency.
officials at the department said
the change does not mean return
to the ''wire-tapping" days that once
characterized the activities of Louis
r. CLAWS, Secretary Ickes' first di-
rector of investigations. Mr.. CLAWS
espionage activities, which extended
into all branches of the Government,
resulted in his transfer some years
ago. Since then Mr.. Smith had car
ried on in the Division of Investiga-
ton in an efficient but less spectacu-

power and other resources essential
to national defense, it was said that

The former Miss Townsend, ac-
cording to friends, met both young
men in New York early this winter.
Mr.. Rogers was then in the cand1-
date school of the 212th Coast Artll-
lerv anti-aircraft service.
When the engagement was an
nounced on February 10, 1t was SAID
that definite plans for the marriage
would be made after he was assigned
to post.
Not long ago, Miss Townsend and
the man she married today went up
to New York to say good-by to Mr..
Rogers, who was leaving for an
Army camp in Georgia, friends said.
The wedding was set for April.
While Mr.. Rogers was away at
school and later at camp, Mr.. Vogel,
according to friends, escorted Miss
Townsend about Washington in the
role of a filler-in He and his
mother, wife of the late Martin
Vogel an Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury under President wilson's
administration, had taken house
at 78 Kalorama circle for the winter
with the Baron and Baroness Con-
stantine Stackelberg, cousin of the
groom.
Besides escorting the pretty Peggy,
Mr.. Vogel spent much of his time
in Warrenton, Va, where he trained
his own horses and hunted.
The bride and bridegroom are ex-
pected to return to Washington be-
fore embarking on Southern trip.
Mrs. Vogel is the great-niece and
godchild of Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence
Townsend of Washington, the former
a career diplomat who represented
this country at various times as
Minister to Brussels, Lisbon and
Vienna.
Only 81 now, Mrs. Vogel joined
the ranks of socially prominent
night club singers early in 1889

Washington should try to have more
cafe society in the New Yorky"
manner and partly because she
always liked the idea of women
getting out and doing things"

instead of facts and contended the
mass of evidence submitted since
the trial opened February would
not convict the defendants.
On the other hand, Government
counsel went back into the rec
ord at great length in an attempt
to disprove defense counsel's con-
tentions and to establish the right
of the Government to bring all
the "a defendants to trial now be-
fore the jury.
Late yesterday afternoon Justice
Proctor warned the defendant doc
tors seated on the jurist's left
against any further laughter in the

The jurist, turning towards the
defendants, said he had asked "Sev-
eral times" for order in the court
and warned that IT simply will
not put up with it in the future.

have been here continually" he
said, Il am going to take some
action. Let that be understood

sci Grant w. Kelleher and Justice
Proctor were discussing the Harris

Several defendants were men,

fense Counsel Leahy launched
into his counterattack on the
Government. In rebuttal the Gov
ernment, represented by John Henry
levin and Mr.. Kelleher, took
up each of the defendants specific
ally named by Mr.. Leahy, and told
the court how the prosecution con-
sidered evidence pointed to each.
The jurist asked several ques-
tions concerning the Washington
Academy of Surgery and the Harris
County Medical Society.
Discuss Selders Case.
The prosecution pointed out that
the Harris County society had
charged G. H. A. Surgeon Selders
with "unethical' practice, and had
induced him finally to request a
transfer to Washington. Mr.. Leahy
insisted this was not conspiracy, as
they had Withdrawn their charges,

In response to the jurist's ques-

members of the District Medical
Society and some of its officials were
on the Hospital Committee Of the
D. M. S., engaged in the alleged boy
colt by the doctors to keep G. H. A.
surgeons and patients out of Wash

Referring to a court ruling that
medical practice is trade within
the meaning of the Sherman Anti
Trust Act, Mr.. Leahy contended that
if doctors are to be considered as q
trade, then they should have the
protection Of the Clayton Act.
