that if it was in his power Polly was

A. j. Phillips, executive Sec
rotary of the association, declar-
ed in an address to the delegates
that "subversive groups are at
work trying to undermine conf
dence" in public schools and
state and local government.
Because the schools are the
foundation of our democracy
through which the morale of the
nation is strengthened" he con-
tinued, "so-called fifth column
lists are doing all that they can
to foster and keep alive any dis
satisfaction which may appear
between members of the teach

Is evident, therefore, that the

The chief executive had al
ready sounded the keynote Of
Army Day, however, in a state
ment declaring that lin a world
wherein domination by armed
might prevails In SO many un-
happy lands, 1t is highly desir-
able that the American people
focus their attention for at least
one 24-hour period in a year on
those military forces which con-
stitute the land defense of our
republic"

particular city were governed by
the type of army camp situated
nearby. No tanks were available
for the Washington show but

The present military force is
the nations largest since Army
Day was started by the Military
Order of the World War in 1927.

600 regulars, $4,000 Selective
Service trainees, 100000 Ma
tional Guardsmen and $4,000 re-

have reached the maximum
strength now planned of 1913

divisions of $4,000 men each.

two Is under way.
In the air corps, pilot training
is now going forward at the rate
of $4,000 q year and by next fall
the rate is expected to approach
