Byrd to Speak in Forum
National Defense Timetable Will Be
Discussed by Virginia Senator

Our National Defense Timetable"
will be examined minutely by Sena-
tor Byrd. Democrat, of Virginia dur
ing the National Radio Forum to-
morrow night. Arranged by The
Star, the program will be broad
cast over a coast-to-coast hookup
of the National Broadcasting Co.
and may be heard locally at $50
o'clock over Station WMAL.
An outspoken critic of the pace
Of national defense, Senator Byrd
recently drew a retort from Presi-
dent Roosevelt after he called at
tention to figures which he said re-
vealed an appalling" lag in defense
output.
Although the accuracy of the fig
ures were questioned by the PreSi-
dent, the Virginian defended them
as presenting the true picture. Mr..
Roosevelt held that defense produc-
ton is up to estimates.
AS for a remedy, Senator Byrd has
called for complete reorganization
of the national defense setup un-
der a one-man head. Such re-
shutting is necessary, ne believes,
to overcome what he terms "a mis-
cradle failure TO turn out tanks,
guns, combat planes and ships in
quantity"
In urging a single chief for ma
tlonal defense Senator Byrd advo-
Gates that this leader be vested with
power and authority to give orders
and enforce decisions. 1t is his con-
tention that nothing of a construc-
tive character can be done until a
defense head is appointed, until the

Landon Charges Effort
To Halt Political Debate
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SPARKS, Kans.. Aug. 30.--Af NJ.
Landon charged today that an at
tempt was being made these days
to smother political debate in this
country" The 1896 Republican
presidential nominee spoke at the
annual Sparks community picnic.
Mr.. Landon asserted he would be
the first to yield the President credit
for a job of mastery statesman
ship if he keeps specific promises,
in view of his belligerent policies
and abandonment of neutrality. of
not sending another armed expedi-
tionary force of American boys
abroad"
He said he would continue ito
speak my mind"
And I am going to insist on the
freedom of others to speak their
minds, whether on all points or no
points I agree with them.
while a declaration of war means
that we will close ranks behind
the flag as we always do, it does
not extinguish the right of citi-
Zens to discuss the war and its
prosecution. But the last one of
us will fight for America, under any
kind of leadership"

u. S. Armored Forces Study
Bomber Control Plans

WITH THE Sd ARMY IN
LOUISIANA, Aug. 30 tP.-A plan
to establish bomber controls almost
in the front lines TO coordinate
the devastating offensive power Of
armored divisions and bombing
planes came out Of an important
staff conference of the armored force
today during lull in the Sd Army's
field maneuvers.
More than a score of officers Of
the 1st Armored Corps and the
I'd Armored Division discussed for
hours various methods of insuring
swifter and surer cooperation be-
tween their units and lombard
ment planes, the hardest hitting
team developed in the European
war.
Today's conference, seeking TO cor
rect obvious faults before the Sd
Army meets the I'd Army next
month in a two-week campaign of
simulated warfare over half Of
Louisiana, concentrated on a
bomber control" plan.
The nerve center of the control
units, up near the hottest action,
will consist of representatives of
both the armored force and the air
arm, empowered to make instant
decisions and to assign bombers by
the quickest means of communica-
tion-commercial telephone or voice
radio-to mission while there is
still live" target
Formerly. such orders have gone
through intricate Army channels and
there have been instances when
bombers, through communication de-
lays. have been unable to get into
action until their objective had
moved miles away.

Less Important Rugs
Practical in Cotton

The less important rugs that we
all like to use in the summertime
are practical as well as good looking
when made OF cotton. With all the
charm of the old-fashioned braided
rug, they have the added attraction
of. wide variety of colors and
weaves which you may select to suit
yourself,
For instance, If you want blue
rug there Is choice OF about three
shades in plain blue, or you may
have all three shades blended into
one rug. Or you may combine dark
and middle blue with white to get
a lighter, softer effect, or white and
blue with black to make 1t more
practical. In this way any numba
OF blends and shades may be worked
out which can hardly fail to q well
with even the most individual color
scheme.
These rugs may bs cleaned right
on the floor by the sponge and soap
