Dear Ed:
I told you would drop ECU line
from time to time ard let you know
how the Army is. SO here gees.
Motfett Field is located abou. IS
miles south of San Francisco and about
IL miles north of San Jose. as well as
being about five miles from Palo Alto.
so you can see We have number OF
places to go when We are off. This
field was first built by the Navy in
1881 and was not completed until 1895.
The Inflated airships Macon and Ak
ron. were hangared here. 1t is hard
TO imagine the size of this hangar.
II is l.l38 feet long and 30S feet wide:
it has 1913 feet clear height and ap-
proXimately eight acres floor space.
The total weight of the steel structure
is $500 tons. Each Of the four huge
doors weighs 500 tons. The field is
900 acre tract and consists OF the
hangar. % barracks. six mess halls and
six recreation halls. in addition 10 the
personnel buildings. garages and every
thing too numerous to mention. We
have a bowling alley consisting Of six
alleys. a theater. which has all of the
latest shows for a price Of 20 cents:
we have post tailors, store and cafe
so you can see we don't have to leave
the post for anything. However. We all
do. We also have huge gymnasium.
with any and all kinds OF sports one
| could wish Every Friday night We have
| some kind Of entertainment which is
free TO the men OF the camp. This
| consists OF leading talent from San
| Francisco.
There are approximately 1000 men
! stationed here, OF which about 700 are
| recruits. and they expect to be shipped
| to different fields This makes it lot
different from camps and forts which
have from $4,000 to 10000 men.
We get up at 5:45 and have break
fast at 600; roll call is at $50 and
then We fall out until 100 Exercises
are from $50 to 900. then we have
drill until 100. Chow comes after
| that and We are back at 100 at drill
or listen to lectures and have pistol
practice. or what they call field
piece in the Army. In the Air Corps
we don't have rifles but use As Colt
| automatics
! Dave Weiland and I are assigned to
/ the 72nd Air Base Group. which is a
school squadron and has the duty OF
| training cadets to be officers. They
have no large planes here but they are
i all classed as heavy trainers. In all
/ they have about 200 and maybe YOU
think it isn't noisy wien there are
| about fifty OF them in the air al one
! time.
AT Motfett We can go TO school every
night or take bus to school held in
/ Palo Alto every night One can take
up about anything he wishes at no
cost. Dave and have been going to
school here at the post We would like
to go to Palo Alto but We don't know
Just how long We will be here as the

NEW YORK, Dec. 20-Mr. and
Mrs. David Townsend, wealthy Brit
ish couple, today reported to police
that about $4,000 worth Of
jewehy had disappeared under
curious circumstances from their
Park Avenue apartment between
: pm. yesterday and 2 am. today.
Mrs. Townsend said the gems were
in her bag in her closet early yes
terday afternoon. When she was
about to retire this morning, she
said, the bag was still there; but
the jewels we're gone.
The valuables were insured with
lloyds Of London. who have the
only available description and pic
tures of them.
Maid Gets Fake Phone Call.
The Townsend maid told police
that shortly after Mrs. Townsend
left home yesterday a man advised
her by telephone that the couples
son, Master David" was i'll at
school. She said he asked her to
bring clothing for the boy. Before
she left the apartment, the maid
said, the same person called again
but said he had obtained the wrong
number. The maid went to the
school, found David well and re-
turned to the apartment.
Police said that the maid, whom
they questioned and sbsolved of any
suspicion, was of very good charac-
ter"

vator and service men and the build

Plan for Deep Slash

Billion and Half Cut
In Non-Defense Costs
Likely to Be Asked
By ]. A. OJEARY.

A reduction of almost 81 800, ,000,-
900 in the Governments non defense
budget to help meet the Nations
war effort may be recommended to
Congress this week by the special
Joint Economy Committee created
in the last tax bill.
Although the committee has not
yet finally adopted its recommended
tio,1s, it is believed to have set this
figure as it's goal Every effort is
expected to be made to file the
report before Christmas so its con-
tents will be available to the Presi-
dent before he submits the next
budget to Congress in January,
An early decision on non-defense
savings is deemed desirable also to

posals is likely to start after the
middle OF January.
Report Nearly Completed.
Presided over by Senator Byrd,
Democrat. of Virginia, who spon-
sored the survey. the Joint Com
mittee may complete work on its
report tomorrow. and have it ready
to file before the end of the week
Five weeks ago, in the early stages
of the inquiry, Secretary Of the
Treasury Morgenthau filed a state
ment with the committee listing
the following as general activities
that might be considered as possible
fields for consideration:
Reclamation. river and harbor
work, public highway construction.
some phases of the farm benefit
programs, and various vocational
training agencies. such .as the
Civilian Conservation Corps. the Ma
tional Youth Administration and
the Office of Education.
Pointing out that the regular ac-
tivities of the c. c. c. and N. Y. A.
must conflict with the more i'm
portant defense program" Mr. Nor
genthau suggested that all voca-
tional training functions be con-
solidated in a new Bureau of De-
fense training. In that way, he
said, overlapping could be elimi-

mated. and the training work In
tegrated with the defense program
No Specific Cuts Recommended.

The Treasury Secretary did not
attempt in his statement to rec
ommend any specific amount OF re-
duction that should be made in any
Of the non-defense categories he
listed, but merely cited these as
sources for study.
Since that time the Joint Com
mittee has held numerous closed
conferences, and, until the report
is filed, it will not be known to what
extent it will recommend retrench-
ment in these or other normal
peace-t time Government functions.
The outbreak of war between the
United States and the Axis powers
has increased the need for defense
expenditures and gives advocates
of retrenchmert in non-defense
spending stronger argument than
they had when Congress created the
joint committee.
If the joint committee is success
full in putting through a substan-
tial economy program IN such ac-
tivities as reclamation, rivers and
harbors and highway construction
it would. it is argued make man
power and materials available for
defense work. in addition to help
ing finance the cost of winning the
war.
The argument also has been adj
vanced in economy discussion that
postponement of ordinary public
works while the war is creating
employment in defense industries
would build up q reserve of peace
time projects that could be started
to prevent unemployment when the
war Is over.
Some Projects Essential.
In connection with river and har-
Dor, food control and soil erosion
expenditures, the point has been
made that some of these projects
are essential to public safety and
that this factor would have to be
considered in determining how far
these appropriations could be de-
ferred.
The Joint Committee is made
up of members of the regular ap-
propriating and revenue-raising
committees of the House and Sen
ate, the Secretary of the Treasury
and Budget Director Harold Smith.
Whatever savings are recommended
by the special group will have to be
passed on by the regular House and
Senate Appropriat tior Commit tees
as they bring out the regular de-
partmental supply bills during the
winter.
There is said to be possibility
some members of the Joint group
may file individual minority reports,
especially if reductions are proposed
in farm benefit programs.
