Doubled Bonuses Approved
For Navy Re-en|istments
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED PreSS.
The House Naval Affairs Com
mittee voted today to give double
re-enlistment bounties. ranging from
5000 to $500, to regular enlisted men
of the Navy who re-enlist voluntarily
within "a hours after expiration OF
present enlistments.
The provision was made part OF
a Senate-approved measure provid-
ing that all men enlisting hereafter
for naval service may be retained
after expiration of the enlistment
period for such period as the Secre-
tary of the Navy may deem neces-
sary in time of war or national en-
ergency declared by the President.
The committee approved the
amended measure.
Under present law, enlistment
bounties range from $100 to $500
and are granted for re-enlistment
within 80 days. The Navy must now
release its men on expiration Of
their enlistments, even in time of
war. Rear Admiral C. w. Nimitz,
chief of the Bureau of Navigation,
told the committee
He said re-enlistments had de-
clined from "a per cent of all men
discharged in July, 1910, to so per
cent in June, 1941.

livian government had only loose

from Berlin.
Gutierrez told Wendler in a note
that Bolivia was empowered by the
1923 Havana Inter-American Con-
vention to expel any diplomat with
out being obliged to express the mo-
tives for it's decision"
Wendler had denied in note to
Ostria Gutierrez that he had inter-
vened in Bolivia's internal affairs
and said his only information con-
corning the conspiracy, which was
reported during the week end, was
what he read in the newspapers. The
reports, he said, must be founded
either on error or intentional deceit"
Substantial quantities of arms
and ammunition and three secret
radio transmitting sets were uncov-
cred during the week end, the news

which Russia might want to sell to

purchases of war supplies here.
Mr.. Jones told a press conference
that he made the offer to ConStan-
tine Oumansky. Russian Ambassa-
dor, about a week ago, but did not
know when deal was likely.
Delivery Is Problem.
The only difficulty, he explained,
was the problem of getting the ma
terials-particularly manganese and
chromium-from Western Russia to
the Far East port of VladivoStok
and then getting ships to carry the
materials to the United States,
although other informed sources
said the materials could be carried
in 10 or IL Soviet vessels expected
to be put in trans-Pacific service.
Mr.. Jones said no amount was
mentioned, but added that it was
fair to assume that the United
States would buy all the strategic
materials Russia wants to sell and
is able to deliver"
The purchases, he added, would
not necessarily be balanced by an
equivalent amount of war materials
purchases here.

Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
proposed today that Congress limit
the service of selectees. reserves and
National Guardsmen to Is instead
of the present II months.
Senator Taft laid this proposal
before the Senate Military Affairs
Committee after group OF wit
neSses, most of them opponents, had
testified on the effects of pending
proposals to extend indefinitely the
period of service for citizen soldiers.
Chairman Reynolds directed that
Gen. George c. Marshall, Army
Chief of Staff. be queried as to the
effect of the Taft plan, which the
Ohio Senator said would provide
for the release of $1,000 selectees
from the Army each month. with
none serving more than l6 months.
How Plan Would Work.
As outlined by Senator Taft, the
proposal would provide the Army
with 1,272.OO0 trained officers and
men at all times. The remainder
of a l,948,000 total force would be
made up of those undergoing pre-
liminary training.
AS new selectees were brought in
at the rate of $1,000 a month, he
said. the Reserve would be increased
by that number.
Earlier, Gen. John McAuley Pal
mer, retired, told the committee it
was his opinion that Adolf Hitler,
in order to accomplish his aims.
must conquer or encircle the United
States"
Testifying in support of legislation
to retain selectees, reserves and
National Guardsmen In Army serv-
ice beyond the present limit of one
year, Gen. Palmer warned that the
Army would disintegrate at a critical
time if this course were not fol-
lowed.
I'm my opinion said Gen. Palmer,
former assistant chief of staff
under Gen. John J. Pershing, "our
peril is greater than it ever has
been in our history All of the
forces of NaZi-iSm are deployed
against us. In order TO achieve his
aim. Hitler must conquer or enc'rcle
the United States"
Preacher Opposes Plan.
The Rev. A. J. Music, representing
the Fellowship of Reconciliation, op-
posed the legislation on the grounds
that if decent pay" were offered,
sufficient Army volunteers could be
obtained without what he said would
be the breach of an implied
promise" that selectees would not be
retained more than year.
Senator Thomas, Democrat. Of
Utah challenged Mr. Muste's state
ment that declaration of an emer-
gency by Congress. under which
citizen soldiers could be retained in
service indefinitely, would be taken
by the public as tantamount to the
declaration of a state of war.
Frank Omstead of New York,
chairman of the War Resisters'
League, testified his organization
was convinced that the proposal to
extend the service was really a step
toward a new A. E. F."
