On Vice Presidents as

BY ]. A. FOX.
Star staff Correspondent.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Sept. H.
James B. Burns was reelected by
acclamation today as president o1
the American Federation Of Gov
ernment Employees. The convention
then started balloting on vice presi-
dents.
Mr.. Burns, a former attorney In
the Veterans Administration in San
Francisco, has headed the feder-
alton since November, 1889, when he
was named by the Executive Council
to succeed Cecil e. Custer OF WASH
ington, who resigned.
A resolution calling for q nat in
crease of $40 annually for Federal
workers, to compensate for the ad-
vance in living costs, was presented
to the convention.
This figure was agreed upon last
night by the Resolutions Committee,
after considering q batch of wage
increase proposals from lodges all
over the country. The amount is
the same as that granted to Gov
ernment workers at the time Of the
World War.
Figure Brings Surprise.
The decision OF the committee to
set a definite figure came as . sur
prise to most federation leaders,
who had expected simply that an
adequate" raise would be recon-
mended, thereby leaving the heads
Of the organizations free to. use
their discretion in putting the mat
ter up to Congress. This latter
course was taken by the National
Federation of Federal Employees ut
the Atlantic City convention last
week.
The committee acted on the wage
isSue-the livest topic at the con-
vention-after hearing Representa-
tive Ramspeck, chairman OF the
House Civil Service Committee, re-
iterate his belief that Congress
would have to raise Government pay
unless effective price-control legisla-
ton is enacted.
The pay proposal topped the leg
islative program the federation pre-
pared to adopt today as the con-
vention was winding up.

I do not appear TO have the
ability TO express myself, for my re-
port was interpreted as request for
an A. E. F. That is an abSurdity. -
In asserting that the situation is
critical, Gen. Marshall added that
the War Department could not make
public all its information regarding
current developments.
If We did" he added. 1T might
produce an effect like the sinking of
the Maine or the Zimmerman notes,
and we don't want that"
Sinking of the United States
battleShip Maine in Havana Har-
Dor was an important factor in
drawing the United States into
war with Spain in 1898. The
notes of Chancellor Zimmerman
of Germany, attempting to have
Mexico side with the Reich in
war against the United States in
1917. also stirred public opinion

Would Have to Call Units.
In answer to questions by Senator
Austin, Gen. Marshall told the COM
mittee that military units in Ha-
waii. Alaska and other posts out
side the continental United States
would have to be brought back to
this country next month unless the
law is amended. because they con-
tain selectees and National Guards
men
The deadline for the passage of
this bill, then" said Senator Austin,
is August /. 1t must become a law
by that time"
Yes replied Gen Marshall.
Gen. Marshall denied fatty that
units containing selectees and
Guardsmen had been sent to distant
posts to compel the passage of a
law extending the period of their
service beyond the year specified He
said with reluctance he had sent
an anti-aircraft regiment to Hawaii,
made up in part of Selectees, adding
that if such units had not been dis
patched to distant places he would

in accordance with a proviso in the

amending the laws affecting the
selectees and the National Guards
men. If Congress proclaims a sit
uation of peril to the country, the
period of service may be extended
by the President.
Repeats His Warnings.
Gen. Marshall again and again
told the committee he considered
the situation confronting the coun-
try most serious.
There is no doubt in my mind"
he said, "of the seriousness of the
emergency"
He told the committee of the prob
lem now confronting him of finding
anti-aircraft, engineers and tank
units to send to the Pacific Coast
IL 900 men in all-becauSe of the
time limit on service of men in these
units, including National Guards
men. Some of the men must go out
of the service September l and the
rest within six-month period.
Il have told them to 60 ahead and
send the men with the longest period
of service remaining to them. But
I can't find way to get 5000 of
these men. This is practical prob
lem. These units are needed for
the support of the Navy and protec-
ton OF air fields. We can't leave
them open to seizure by any poten-
tlal enemy. 1t is an impossible sit
uation.
Gen. Marshall paid high tribute

vided thousands of officers now in

He said the Army was releasing
