WASHING TON. March B. Around Capital Town:
 For the first time in the mem ory of the oldest living sarge, the United States Army has a GEN. ERAL for press agent. Of course, you mustn't get the Army wrong. Mai. Gen Robert c.

 Major General Richardson is really the director of press infor- mation-the chief liason officer between the men who write what you read about your greatly ex- banding Army and the men who are responsible for the actualities of its expansion How important the Army thinks this is is shown by the fact that Major General Richardson was (until his latest assignment) commander of the First Cavalry at Fort Bliss tTexas1

WASHINGTON-The Capital of the United States has seen all sorts of Hobbies come and go, but few that have had such a mushroom proWth and such wide ramificationS as the America First Committee.
 In recent weeks this organization has not been much publicized-as such. It's sympathizers have taken responsibility for their own state ments. But it would be mistake to assume that the America First Committee is not active.
 Few of the Senators whom IL seeks to influence realize it, but cop ies of Amierica First correspondence which have come to the attention of some legislators show that m a few short weeks the Committee has built up an organization which ex- tends it's influence to numerous rad io stations, preachers, and anti-War groups, and has it's own confidential observers in the capital.
 Leading members of the America First Committee are Alice Long worth, Mrs. Burton K. Wheeler, Hanford McNider tCoolidge's As ristant Secretary of War), William R. Castle (Hoover's Under Secre- tary of State). Mrs. Bennett Clark, General Hugh Johnson, Irwin s. Cobb, and General Robert E. Wood, who is head of the organization ana also of Sears, Roebuck and Com pany. However, they appear willing to remain in the background.
 In fact, that is one of the main features of the lobbying methods of the America First Committee-it does not reveal all of it's far flung activities to the public.
 Thus Lee Williams, member of the Committees staff, sent out to radio station managers various tram scriptions of speeches by Senator Nye, Senator Wheeler, ex-Governor Ali Landon, and other isolationists. But in sending the records for re- broadcast, Williams cautioned:
 These recordings do not mention the name of the America First Com mittee. They are simple messages from the speakers to the people. The sole function of the Committee is to cooperate with these speakers in the distribution of the record ings'
 No mention is made as to where the funds are raised to pay for these
