In discussing this situation. Gen

swiftly in hemisphere defense.
Unable to Send Planes.
He did not volunteer any addi-
tional details. commenting that he
was willing to risk" mention of the
Brazilian activity only because of
the necessity of impressing Congress
with the need for freedom of action
for the War Department in many
matters.
Gen. Marshall said that as an
other specific instance of the Armys
inability TO operate efficiently be-
cause of the large number of one
year selectees. Guardsmen and Re-
serves in its ranks, the War Depart
ment had been unable yet to send
squadron of "a pursuit planes to Ice
land to support the marine con-
tingent there.
There was little difficulty about
the plane squadron itself, he con-
tinued, since most of the men in
the airforce were on a three-year

Urging the declaration of an
emergency by Congress. Gen. Mar
shall said he would rather be ac-

defense. rather than of being too
cautious. adding:
We must not make the mistake
of going on the short side. The
hazards are too great. We cannot
speculate on the security Of This
country
Gen. Marshall told the committee
he made his recent report to the
Secretary of War. recommending
the service extension plan and also
lifting of the ban against use of
these troops outside the Western
Hemisphere in the interest of ma

military point of view.

Efficient Operation
OF Heating Plants
Urged 10 Save Oil
so Local Dealers
Study Problem Of
Conservation Here

Increased efficiency of existing
officiating plants should be the
principal medium of fuel oil con-
servation in the District, a group
of some so local oilmen was told
today at a public hearing on fuel
oil conservation at the Municipal
Center.
L. LIE Roy Gritzan of the OIL
heating division Of the Washington
Electric Institute told the dealers
the fuel oil industry was planning
an advertising campaign along this
line to begin in the local press Mon
day. He cited a Department of
Agriculture bulletin yesterday that
more than One-eigth of home-heat-
Ing fuel oil could be saved by
"f1ue gas analyzer" which can now
be purchased for less than S25.
Conservation Proposals.
Among the other suggestions for
conservation offered at the hearing
were:
Turn off the oil burner at 9 pm.
instead of 10 pm: during the heat
ing season.
Reduce home temperature to 68
degrees.
Emphasis on insulation and
weather stripping homes.
The suggestion of lowered home
temperature brought the comment
from one dealer that you could
never get the ladies to agree to
that"
I'VE might suggest that the ladies
wear more clothes" was the retort
Traffic Director w. A. Van Duzer,
who presided at the session. asked
each dealer to write him a letter
within the next few days suggesting
means of conservation.
60,000.000 Gallons Used.
The District used about 60000.000
gallons of fuel oil last year. Mr..
Gritzan declared. adding that one
of the largest users is the Washing
ton Gas Light Co. for steam
generation purposes.
The gas company, 1t was stated,
plans TO convert some of its steam
generation to coal burning and the
Commissioners have authorized the
closing of Thirteenth street between
Virginia avenue and Water street
Sc. for coal storage purposes.
Mr. Gritzan suggested that the
gas company formulate a conserva-
tlon program among its consumers
as we'll.

by all selectees inducted IN the
future.
Coupled with enactment OF This
requirement, he continued. should
be an appeal to the patriotism of
selectees already in service for as
many as possible to remain there
throughout the emergency.
Senator Wheeler said the Govern
ment should keep faith with the
men who were drafted for only ore
year He contended that any
breach of faith may tend TO lower
Army morale"

the period of training and service
must at least be one year. He added
that year was too short time,
In his opinion. to train the men.
Evades Bigger Army Issue.
Gen Marshall evaded the sugges-
tion that there is demand now for
greatly expanded Army. He said
1t would be wiser to move forward
with regular training He absolved
the President of any desire to in
crease the forces greatly and to
send large forces to outlying posts
On the contrary. he said. the Presi-
dent has been very conservative in
these matters.
Gen. Marshall said his desire was
for unified Army" and that it
could be handled in far more eff
ficient manner if that status were
brought about.
He said it was his purpose to re-
iieve selectees and to take others
into the Army. but he wanted to be
able to do that in accordance with
the best interests of the Army.
Senator Chandler, Democrat, OF
Kentucky announced his hearty
support of Gen. Marshau's recon-
mendation that the period OF serv-
ice of the selectees, National
Guardsmen and reservists be eX-
tended.
Points to Nazi Moves.
Gen. Marshall pointed to Ger
manys first move on Austria and
to its subsequent moves up to its
recent attack on Russia and said:
I'VE don't know what the next
move will be. We have our own
ideas and We have not been far
wrong. You can see Spain, Portugal
and Africa covered quickly"
He added that each move would
leave the Axis one less obstacle.
There is no doubt in my mind"
Gen. Marshall continued. that un-
less We make very businesslike
PREPARATIONS for defense. we may
find ourselves in very tragic situa-
ton"
The chief of staff told the COM
mittee his statement was based on
secret information as we'll as on
ANALYSIS of Axis moves.
During his testimony he told the
committee the Western Hemisphere
could be defended, in his opinion,
with the Army now in service, plus
about 10000 more men.
Airfield Development Delayed.
Expressing reluctance to mention
the country involved in providing
Latin American air bases, Gen.
Marshall said he. had been handi-
capped in cooperating with Pan
American AirwayS in establishing
landing fields and other facilities in
Brazil because Congress had stipu-
lated. in making 5000 100000 in
emergency funds available to the

wheat growers having less than Is
acres or 200 bushels of grain.
Recently Congress passed loan
bill which will give the wheat. grow
ers 85 per cent of the wheat parity
price. This means an increase over
last years loan rate of approximately
33 cents a bushel or loan rate of
over $1.OO per bushel in Maryland
and Delaware. The wheat in excess
of the farm marketing quota is sub
ject to a penalty Of so per cent of
the basic loan rate offered coopera-
tors which means a 1871 penalty rate
of approximately 48 cents per bushel.
If the marketing quota is defeated
by the wheat growers of the United
States the government under the law
will not support the market through
the wheat loans and the growers will
be forced to sell their wheat on world
market prices of around so cents a
bushel.
It is hoped that there will be a

OPPORTUNITY
CLASS CONDUCTS
GOOD EXHIBITS
Elementary School Children,
Under Mrs. Lambden, Have
Interesting Display

The Opportunity Class of the Po-
comoke Elementary School, conduct
ed by Mrs. Stanley Lambden, had
some very interesting exhibits Of
their handiwork on display Friday
and Monday. These exhibits includ-
ed smatter paintings, free hand cut
ting and drawing, original place
cards, Christmas cards and some
splendid examples of woodwork.
The creative work of the boys in
this class, ranging in ages from to
Is years, shows remarkable talent
and ingenuity. The paintings and
drawings in black and white and in
colors are neatly executed and the
display of free hand cutting even to
a close observer appears uniform and
finished.
Incidentally a number of these
drawings were chosen for the Lower
Eastern Shore display at the State
Normal School Art Exhibit in March.
Deserving of special mention was
long table covered with an assort-
ment of book ends, games, tie racks,
towel racks, letter holders, door stops
and other articles in wood. These
were carefully modelled, many adorn-
ed with neatly executed monograms.
Also in the exhibit was a complete
checker game, a bird house, book ends
designed and made by one of the pu-
pills and many other noteworthy OBJ
jects modelled from wood.
The boys should be very proud of
their handiwork as it is certainly a
credit to their teacher and is deserv-
ing of praise.
The boys in this class are: W. j.
Selby, Wilson Ayres, Vaughn Payne,
Alvin Taylor, Gretzel Powell, Ken
meth Tull, George Shrieves, William
Niblett, Bill Shrieves, Robert Petit.
Edward Groton, Ray Taylor, Robert
Hurley, Billy Hope, REQ Scalisi and

of wheat for every probable demand
by consumers in this country or a.
broad. A quota on wheat may be pre-
claimed only when the total supply
exceeds a normal years domestic con.
sumption and exports by more thar
IS per cent. With exports practical.

is reported that there will be almost
two bushels of wheat on hand fol
