PRESIDENT MAY
ASK CONGRESS To
VOTE EMERGENCY
Would Have Authority to
Extend Service, Wipe
Out Restrictions
VALUE IN BUILDING
NEW ARMY CITED
Serious Opposition Seen
to Move to Send Men
Beyond Hemisphere

(By international News Service)
Washington, July lJ-INS-Con
gressional leaders in military legis
lation today speculated on the pos
sibility that President Roosevelt
in a message on Monday asking ex
tension of service OF selectees
guardsmen and reserves. may ask
Congress TO declare a. military
emergency.
A declaration that the nation is
imperiled, eagerly sought by the
Army, would not only automatically
give the President authority to ex'
tend Army service but would wipe
out restrictions against sending
guardsmen and selectees beyond
the western hemisphere.
While Administration leaders
have opposed such a declaration,
on the ground that it would arouse
widespread opposition and fear,
Army leaders declared it would
be of immense value in training
troops.
The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee, now considering a proposal
to extend Army service, appeared
impressed by statements of gen.
erals that soldiers in training do
not generally appreciate the serious
international situation, and that a
declaration of an emergency would
be of immense value in building the
new army.
Sees Promise
One important Senate leader
said that such a declaration might
be made with a previso that troops
not be sent beyond the western
hemisphere. Yet, he conceded, it
would u serious opposition
which would prolong efforts 10
get the Army legislation passed
quickly.
This would be the most consist
ent way of extending military SER
vice. because many defense acts
are based upon a declaration Of
emergency" said Sen. Thomas Cd
Utah, member of the Military AT
fairs Committee.
Sen. Nye (R) North Dakota, non
interventionist, however, opposed
the suggestion.
No Definition
The President has declared that
he couldn't define the threat of an
attack, and this makes it more
evident he has little or no reason
upon which to base a declaration
OF a national emergency" said
Nye.
Despite the Army's position that
no compromise a be elected on
the question OF retaining draftees
in service, at least one influential
member of the Senate Military
Affairs Committee was working
on a compromise plan.
Under this plan, draftees now in
service would be asked to volun-
teer further services, and all fu-
ture draftees would be taken In
the Army for the duration OF the
emergency declared by the Presi-
dent.

Boarding House Survey
Will Be Started Soon

A city-Wide survey to locate and
list Washington's large and increas-
ing number of boarding and rooming
houses will be started soon. as a basis
for enforcement of the Commission
ers' new regulation requiring IL
censes.
Wade Coombs, superintendent of
licenses. explained that the new rule,
which becomes effective August 9,
requires that all boarding and ROOM
ing houses in which there are Sleep
ing accommodations for 10 or more
persons must be licensed.
Licenses cost S. year. The step,
ordered under authority OF the Dis
trict License Act of 1882, is not a
means to raise revenue. but TO per-
NIT a check on fire escape regula ton
compliance.
Under the survey plan, police Ii
cense officers in each precinct will
take boarding and rooming house
applications for licenses to each
place. Licenses cannot be issued
until the premises have been ap-
proved by electrical and fire inspec-
tors.
Estimates of how many roOmine
houses there are in the District vary
widely. Mr.. Coombs said he believed
the number was somewhere between
5000 and 5000.

More Sand Samples Taken

Additional samples of sand were
taken by police last night from
spot off the Jones Mill road, near
Chevy Chase. Md. where grains OF
sand which may prove clue in the
Jessie Elizabeth Strieff murder mys-
terry we're found earlier.
The first particles were said by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
to have a marked similarity" to
those found in. the slain girls shoes.
F. B I. laboratory experts will make
additional tests on the new samples,
and results are expected by the
middle of this week
Capt. Ira Keck, acting chief of
detectives. gave Detective Sergt
Robert Maghan of the pickup squad
full credit for the discovery. Acting
on a ''hunch," Sergt. Maghan
scooped up the sand and insisted
on its being tested. He had investi-
gated another criminal assault case
in that area almost year ago.
The spot. said to be a well-known
lovers lane, is on Jones Mill road
