The Jugoslav cabinet, by a vote
of 10 of its l8 members, approved
adhesion to the compromise with
Germany. Three Serbian members
handed in their designations in
protest.
The Serbs, representing the larg-

This week he will graduate from

Plans
Barred
Up
To Finance New
Striking Force

WASHINGTON, Mar. 81.
(UP)-The house approprl-
ations committee today ap-
proved a fifth supplemental
army and navy approprla-
ton Sill totaling approximately S4,-
000,O00000.
The house begins debate on the
bill Immediately. The committee re-
leased secret testimony of Gen.
George c. Marshall. army chief OF
staff, in which he discussed the
United States plans for new armor-
ed divisions.
Marshall said the army plans
to build its armored forces up TO
eight divisions, similar to the Ger
man Panzer divisions, If and when
the size of the army reaches 2,80O,-
coo. The army now has two such
divisions, will make TWO more with
funds in the pending bill, and then
have reserve enough TO convert one
or more of the present triangular
infantry divisions if necessary.
The $4000,000 coo appropriation
bill provides funds for ALSO more
army planes, mostly bombers ano
including 5000 to be assembled n
four big midwestern plants from
parts manufactured by the automo-
bile industry. It also will finance
procurement of critical equipment
for an army of 100000 men.
Other major items in the bill were
construction of new arms plants,
purchase of 10000 motor vehicles,
IL fleet auxiliarieS and a great store
of naval guns anG ammunition.
Marshall said materials provided
in the army appropriation were for
the use of American armed forces
| and not for Great Britain.
He warned the proposed reloca
ton of the Alaska railroad was eS-
sential to the operation of the main
army base at Anchorage, which is
served by the port of Seward. The
railroad right-of- between Sc
ward and Anchorage is jammed
with bridges, snow Sheds and wood
en- trestles, he said.
The area is ideal for sabotage,
he warned, IF one of these trestles
should be set on fire, all supply
north of Seward would be absolutely
and definitely stopped for an ex-
tended period of time
He also disclosed that the bill
carried funds for airplaneS AMI
equipment of an observation squad
ron at Alaska to be made up OF
veteran civilian flyers who know
the territory.
Maj. Gen. George II. Brett, chiet
Of the air corps, revealed plans TO
establish four mobile air depots at
a cost of $1500,000 each for use in
the field. 1t is planned, he said, to
train $4,000 technical men for the all
corps, and by next January, 10000
will have completed their training
Cadets who are washed out in
training are put in the technica,
crews, he said.
1T is hoped to increase the air
corps personnel from $4,000 to
around 10000, he said

There is an old story about
