Gen. Parsons Defends
Selection Of Site for
Meade Cantonment
Retired Sd Corps Head
Takes Responsibility
Before Senate Group
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

The new cantonment at Fort
George G. Meade, Md, where the
29th Division is quartered, was de-
Tended this afternoon before the
Senate Defense Investigating Com
mittee by Mai. Gen. James Kelly
Parsons, retired former commander
of the Sd Corps Area.
The committee, which earlier had
heard the site described as costly
and unsuitable from an engineering
point, was told by Gen. Parsons that
he selected the location as better
adapted to the purposes of train
ing division that the site of the
World War camp, which had water,
sewers and other facilities
I'm the only man in the United
States Army or elsewhere who is re-
sponsible," he said
Gen. Parsons said his main OBJ
ject in planning the expansion of
Fort Meade was to save as much
ground as possible for training and
maneuvers. The Regular Army post
headquarters, built years ago-the
forts permanent buildings-were in
the wrong place, he added.
The Meade cantonment, which the
Consolidated Engineering Corp
built, was "terrifically expensive to
construct" on the site selected by
the War Department. the commit
tee was told by j. A. Stolfort, presi-
dent of the firm.
Asked how the location compared
to the abandoned World War camp,
Mr.. Stolfort said the new site had
no drainage. no woods in the upper

Area of Dover and Deal
Has Eiqht Aerial AIerts

DOVER, April % tA0.-Up to late
afternoon the Dover-Deal area Of
the British coast. where during the
day German coast artillery across
the Channel centered a 7-hour
bombardment, had eight aerial
alerts. but there were no reports of
bombs dropped.
R. A. F. formations. which earlier
had attacked the gun emplacements
in France, roared out over the
Channel for a second time in The
afternoon, ostensibly to blast again
at the German-held coast. Low
flying British fighters were seen re-
turning later.
Air activity was scattered almost
continuously over the English SOUTH
east coast and the Channel and al
least one lively aerial battle was
reported.

Ev the Associated Press
PLYMOUTH, England, April %.
After surveying the effects of
thousands of incendiarieS-in-
cluding oil bombs-loosed on this
seaport last night and early to-
day, officials declared a large
part of Plymouth to be an "evac-
uation area"
Presumably this meant that
civilians would be forbidden resi-
dence in the stricken sectionD
The action was taken by the Min
istry of Health in conjunction with
the local Emergency Committee.
Later the Health Ministry an
nounced in London that arrange
ments were being made to remove
school children from the area af-
fected "as quickly as possible"
An evacuation area" is any zone
which the government considers
particularly dangerous and from
which women and children may be
removed at government expense.
The ministry said the question of
creating such an area at Plymouth
was considered last summer, but 1t
was felt then that the pressure al
ready was too heavy on reception
zones. Plymouth's normal popula-
ton was 100000.
The attack, less intense than
previous ones, came only few hours
after the victims of the three raids
last week we're buried in COM
munal grave.

President Roosevelt revealed sew
eral possible new steps in aggressive
American foreign policy at press
conference late today.
They were:
!. That American war vessels, un-
restricted by the Neutrality Act or
its implementing orders. are free
to move into combat zones if sAch
action is deemed necessary to the
Nations defense.
2. That a survey of civil aeronau-
tical transport needs has been Or
dered. with view to releasing some
of the newest and most powerful
commercial planes to military use.
3. That possible transfer of some
of the Coast Guard functions and
facilities to the Navy Department
is under consideration.
4. That establishment of a string
of coastline dirigible bases for de-
tense purposes already has received
preliminary approval.
Questioned on Stark Statement.
The Chief Executives comment
on possibility of sending Navy ships
into combat zones grew out of Ques-
tioning over remarks made earlier
in the dav by Admiral Harold R.
Stark, chief of naval operations,
that the neutrality patrol extends
1000 miles from some points of our
Atlantic Coast
Emphasizing that measurements
are entirely relative and subject to
change Gay by DAY, Mr.. Roosevelt
referred to his declaration last week
that the patrol would extend any
where in the seven seas that might
be vital to American defense.
Reminded at this point that Ger
man definition of the combat zone
around the British Isles extends
close to Greenland differing from
the limits prescribed by our own
executive action, the President
pointed out that American naval
vessels are not affected by orders
stemming from the neutrality law
They could, he explained, 60 any,
Where considered necessary for de-
fense Of the hemisphere. He then
added quickly, however, that this
should not be taken to mean that
they are going into actual fighting
areas.
Jones to Make Plane Survey.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had asked
Secretary of Commerce Jones to
make the survey of civil aviation
needs for the purpose of turning
over any surplus planes. under the
lease-lend program. to defense of
the democracies.
He said he had asked Mr.. Jones
to report as quickly as possible and
on all possible phases of this mat
ter, He declined to say where some
Of these planes might go, explaining
that such information might be of
value to somebody else.
On the question of transferring
part of the Coast Guard to the Navy
Department the President said there
might be some development soon
The Coast Guard now is under
Jurldiction of the Treasury Depart
ment. but has been joining with the
Navy in maintaining the neutrality

early one morning that the first
attack was made This was by a
U-boat. Two ships of the convoy
were hit and sank in few minutes.
Now The weather was getting
bad. For the best part of two days
and night the convoy was hove to in
a fierce gale. This IVES too great a
strain for the ship which had been
damaged in the air attack. She
began to sink. Another merchant
ship stood by her BY an extremely
fine feat OF seamanship the whole
of the crew of the sinking ship was
rescued in the face of the mountain
Gus seas running at the time.
In commenting on this, the COM
modore of the convoy said, How
they did it do not know. but it
must have been magnificent work
After the gale had subsided the
