NEW LIGHT STATIONS IN
 N0RTHLAND
Appropriation Is Recon. mended by Committee
 Portage Turned Down

WASHINGTON, March 6. - An appropriation of $750,000 for three major light stations in Alaska and navigation aids for National De- fense has been recommended to the House by it's Appropriations Com mittee.
 The stations will cost $250,000 each and will be equipped with powerful Landfall lights. radio beacons and fog signals.
 The stations will be established for the Coast Guard on Cation ls- land, Cape Edgecumbe and Smith Island in Prince William Sound.
 In the statement filed by the Con- mittee, the Coast Guard said the projects were necessary because of greatly increased navigation of AL askan waters due to National De- fense developments.
 The Committee rejected the re- quest for $20. 900 to mark the water way approach to the proposed new terminus of the Alaska Railroad at Portage on Passage Canal. The Com mittee said Congress has not auth orized the new terminus project but added that should it do so the Coast Guard would be justified utilizing funds within their total in event time does not permit of obtaining a special allocation for that purpose.

Soldiers Being Turned
 Out in 12 Monihs;; Ills
 SeIedive SireamIininq
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, March G. The other night at dinner attended almost entirely by men from vari- ous branches of the armed forces, a little skit was produced. It showed a veteran army sergeant trying to get a little fundamental drill work out of trainees. Every time he would get started, there were in- terruptions and someone popped in to take the trainees away to a lecture or drama course. It was all in good fun The army men laughed uproariously when the sergeant in a final paroxysm of evaporation started tearing out his hair.
 A few days later, I heard sup posedly well-informed private citi- zen hold forth for some length that with all the frills and furbelows the trainees are getting, there would be little time left to turn out a good soldier.
 Since it will be many months yet before the first trainees are graduated" nobody can Say for certain what kind Of soldiers they will be when their year is up. But if you have any views nke the pri- vate citizen above and go airing them around Army headquarters here, be prepared for guffaws from the Army men because they'll in- sist you are just trying to put on another skit.

Sculptor BorgIum

Fd nous Designer, Born in West,
 Dies Suddenly Today

CHICAGO, III, March 6.-Gutzon Borglum, 69, internationally famous sculptor, died suddenly after a brief illness at his home here today. His wife, son Lincoln and daughter were at his bedside at his passing
 Internationally famous as a de- signer and sculptor. Borglum was perhaps best known for his love Of gigantic figures.
 The bigger the job on which he was engaged, the better he liked it. Thus it was real glory for him when he was called upon to carve great figure of General Robert E. Lee on the side of Stone Mountain in Georgia.
 That was in 1916. After inspecting the mountain side, MT. Borglum de- termined that a single figure would be inadequate and he designed a Confederate memorial to include 1,200 figures. The work got under way, but was interrupted by the en- trance of the United States into the World War, and was not resumed until 1924.
 Trouble Arises
 After the head of Lee, 20 feet high, had been carved on the face of the mountain and progress made on other figures, dissension arose among members of the committee and between the committee and the sculptor. These controversies final ly resulted in the discharge of Borg lum and the engagement of another

WASHINGTON = Inside of the Hitler- -Jugoslav conference, as told in the diplomatic dispatches, was that der Fuehrer did not stage his usual show of scolding and storm ing the two Serb statesmen, but tried flattery instead.
 He talked great deal about the new order" in Europe, to be formed under German protection after the war is over All the coun- tries were to be together in a United States of Europe. with Ger many preserving law and order.
 In this picture, Germany need cd a sort of deputy sheriff in the Balkans, and Hitler went on to say that this deputy sheriff could be Jugoslavia, if she coop erated with Germany, would be made in effect the real ruler of the Balkans.
 Hitler also promised the two Jugoslav statesmen the Greek port of Salonika, with the surrounding Greek Macedonia. He also promised that their country could chop off more of Albania, and finally he hinted-though he made no defi- nite promise-that Jugoslayia might get back Plume and perhaps even Trieste at Italian expense. Plume is the famous Croatian seaport over which the Jugoslavs and Ital- ians nearly went to war as a re- suit of the Versailles peace treaty.
 These Hitler promises were tempt ing. but the Jugoslavs are under no delusion that in the new or der" Hitler could not move in on them immediately deputy sheriff or no deputy sheriff.
 What really counted with Jugo- slavia was Turkey.

They set about it in the only way possible, Army spokesmen here will tell you by 'streamlining" the training by cutting out frills, not by put ting them in. And Army people now are convinced that it can be done.
