Of consideration.
To this figure then were added
II 800 from agencies that class them
selves as non defense and are moving
out Of Washington.
This process of elimination next
took out about $1,000 in independent
agencies. which are unquestionably
on a defense status-including such
war-born units as the ONCE Of
Emergency Management, Co-ordina-
tor of Information, Economic De-
tense Board and Selective Service
System and such others as Inter-
state Commerce Commission, Mari
time Commission, Civil Service Com
mission, Panama Canal and Ma
tional Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics.
The list might even be increased
another 5000 by adding in the force
of the General Accounting Office
which has undergone huge expan-
sion because of the accounting work
created by the billions in war ex-
penditures. Vital construction &C
tivities Of the Federal Works Agency
would account for several thousand

By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-The British
Army has air-borne troops In train
Ing and parachutist forces ready now
for action, Capt. H. D. r. Marges-
son, War Secretary, announced to-
day. He declared that new armored
divisions have been formed and
those in "the Middle East" REIN
forced.
Outlining this broad picture Of
strengthened British striking power,
Capt.. Margesson disclosed that
many Of the British troops in the
ill-starred Malaga campaign had to
be sent into action without time
"for essential preliminary battle
training"
He said, too, that because of equip
ment shortages and the need for
older type weapons already in pro-
duction, the Army had been unable
until last fall to convert large num-
bers of infantry into artillery and
armored units "of which we were
woefully short"
nCtulOICCtuCut SOubUuulu&s
Without disclosing any details Of
the strengthening of British armored
formations in a zone he described
only as "the Middle East" the War
Secretary declared that the REIN
forcement process is continuing" !"
Announcing the training of air
borne troops, Capt. Margesson said
the army now has q number Of
parachute and air landing units. 1"
This was the first ofiicial an
nouncement that the British Army
Is planning to use air-borne infan-
try Like that which has served Ger
many and Japan well
I'VE have practically completed
formation Of the required number
Of anti-tank regiments" Capt. Mar
gesson said, recounting the progress
Of the army development.
At Disadvantage In Libya.
I OF the situation In Libya, he said
that at present the British "in some
respects we're at q disadvantage
with the Germans" in tank warfare
He referred to "the insidious and
false suggestion" which he said is
now finding some expression in
newspapers Of the United States,
that the British are willing to ac-
cept arms and equipment from any
and every source but are not will
ing to send our soldiers out to fight
with them"
"Of every 100 men killed and
wounded in the land fighting In
Libya since the beginning of the
war;" Capt. Margesson said, @about
10 have come from this country"
He said the sending of troops to
foreign theaters must be consid-
cred in the light Of, first, the ab-
solute necessity Of defending this
country, IAN arsenal from which
arms are flowing to all the Allied
nations" and, second, the availabl-
ity Of shipping.

Oahu and Pearl Hsrbor slated TO
be accomplished In one week.
simultaneously, the plan schedules
attacks ON Alaska, the Pacific Coast
and the Panama Canal.
That's when the campaign Of
sabotage is to be waged. The reason
there has been no outbreak Of
sabotage in, the United States so far
is that the Japanese government
has ordered the Japs in this country
to withhold such activities until the
military attacks"
He said he passed as a Japanese
in obtaining position In the Japa-
nese Consulate in Honolulu from
1885 to 1887 and was amazed and
deeply concerned over what I found
out. For example, I saw blueprints
and detailed technical information
Of the construction at Pearl Harbor."
MIR. Haan contends that all Japa-
nese, whether alien or American
born, should be interned for the

Kentucky House Petitions
For Anti-Sfrike Law
By the Associated Press.


FRANKFORT, KY Feb. 10
Spurred by pleas of a member who
Is in the Army and another who
has a son in it. the Kentucky House
of Representatives yesterday voted
ito petition the United States Sen
ate to pass anti-strike legislation.
The chamber adopted on voice
vote a resolution by Representative
Thomas Swope who said the fact
that his son was in the Air Corps
made him particularly interested
in keeping the flow of munitions un-
hampered by unnecessary strikes" "
The resolution was sent to the
State Senate, where it was referred
to a committee. 1t recommends
final congressional passage of the
House-approved Smith bill to re-
strict strikes and lockouts in war
industries.
Representative Howard McCart-
ney, on leave from the Army and
attending the legislative session in
his corporal's uniform, urged adop-
ton of the resolution because, he
said, he had seen the difficulties
Of training men for the Army with
out equipment.

fire protection.
District Can't Garry Burden.
Commissioner Mason pointed out
that the impact of the war" had
placed a tremendous burden on the
District which it is unable to carry.
"The District has reached the
point Of exhaustion as far as rev.
enues are concerned" he declared.
There is obvious need for a great
deal Of housing. With additional
housing must go along additional
schools, sewer, hospitals, and police
and fire protection. We are short
Of these facilities now"
The hospital situation Commits
sioner Mason described as tragic; :"
He said private hospitals cant get
a dime Of private capital" to aid
them in providing additional facin-
ties"
Commissioner Mason explained
that minimum of SIS, ,00O, 900 would
be needed for community facilities
In the District and the continuous
areas Of Maryland and Virginia, but
this figure could be shaved down to
$15,000,000 with elimination Of
needed facilities in the two adjoin-
ing States.
Specific Hospital Aid Urged.
Mr.. Mason joined Senator McCar-
ran in urging that a specific sum be
allocated for additional hospital
facilities.
There should be an ALLEGATION Of
funds for the hospitals in the bill, 4"
declared Senator McCarran.
otherwise the money is liable to
60 of to some other source"
Both Commissioner Mason and
Mr.. Brunot explained that plans
for additions to the hospitals con-
templated two-story buildings OF
f1reproof construction, but simpli-
fled to the extent of avoiding es-
thetic treatment and elevators.
Ramps would take the place of
elevators.
Permanent Plan Urged.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive,
of Wisconsin argued that the addi.
tions should be permanent in char
acter.
When we do this thing let's do
1t adequately" he declared. II don't
want to end up with worse plan
than we have now. I don't see any
sense in not providing amply and
adequately, not only for the emer-
gency, but the future as well, as Ions
as billions of dollars are being
sluiced around. don't want to SET
this community have bad hospital
situation in the future to save a
few millions OF dollars. Now, ]
don't want to wake up and see
Washington in the throes Of such
an epidemic as it had during the
last war"
| Commissioner Mason estimated II
would cost between $4,000, 900 and
$11, ,000, 900 to provide additions of q
permanent character to the hospi.
tails, with facilities for from $50 tt
1000 beds.

The battle on the Sumatra ap-
proach is delaying and cutting down
the power of the inevitable Japa-
nese assault on the central island
of Java.
Dutch land forces, having
abandoned Palembang in Southern
Sumatra about 270 miles from Ba-
tavia itself, are continuing stubborn
fighting against the invaders.
Redrawing Of Battle Line.
Thus the weekend destruction Of
$500, 900 900 worth Of oil. gasoline.
refining and transport facilities and
other property in the Palembang
area when Japanese parachutists
assaulted it last Saturday was not
the signal for abandonment of
Southern Sumatra, but rather
prelude to redrawing the battle line
for the southernmost tip Of the
1000 mile long island, which is sep
arated only by Sunda Strait from
Java itself.
Some sources estimate that It will
take years, not months, before oil
production can be resumed.
The newspaper Bode said that
the fires were the largest in his
tory-fires which even influenced
the weather and caused excep-
tionally heavy thunderstorms."
A woman evacuee from Palembang
said:
"The whole town was a sea Of
flames in a short time Many build

The japanese. meanwhile, con-

The communique, released through

raid today on an air field in Western

simultaneously with yesterdays
