For Specialized Training

By h Associated Press
A measure to expand the Army's
specialized training program was
signed yesterday by President
Roosevelt
The bill was urged by the War
Department to increase the num-
Der OF officers and men in train
ing in universities and elsewhere
along scientific and engineering
lines
Previous legislation limited the
number detailed as students to ? per
cent OF the military personnel.
The first few thousand" soldiers
who will attend college under The
program already have been selected
from among 200 900 candidates, Col
Herman Beukema, director of the
specialized training division, said.

Quoted by special boards at Army
camps throughout the country have
resulted not only in selection OF the
soldiers who will enter the colleges
this month, but much larger April

Later tests will select trainees
until the number of students reaches
the authorized total of 10000.

said the verbal agreement calls for
the fencing Of the church cemetery
and perpetual care for the more
than 200 grave5. The church prop
eTt" covers 3la acres.
During the Civil War the church
was used as headquarters for the
Union soldiers who were camping
nearby While they we're there the
minister was not allowed near the
pulpit because the church at that
time was part OF the Southern
Methodist Church. The Union
troops did permit the Rev MI ker-
shaw. pastor OF Trinity Episcopal
Church OF Upper Marlboro, TO
preach at the church about once a
month.
The church was remodeled in
1880. In 1914 a high wind twisted
the church from its founda ton, and
ii was rebuilt.
The church trustees are Russell
Richardson, LIE Roy Humphrey, John
A Coale and Miss Carrie Harrison.

Virginia Valves Tax
On All 0ut-of-State
Trucks for Duration
Board Amends Action
So as to Lift Levies for
North Carolina Vehicles

By he Associated Press.
RICHMOND, March 9.-The State
Reciprocity Board has decided to
waive Virginia's 2 per cent gross
receipts tax on out-of-St trucks
and its 81 registration fee for foreign
vehicles for the duration.
c. F. Joyner, jr., chairman of the
board, said he could not estimate
Immediately the amount of revenue
the State would lose as result
Of the boards action.
Only Thomas w. OzHn voted
against the move, which was in line
with the position taken by Gov.
Darden that any action. as pre-
viously considered by the board
which would discriminate against a
nelghbOr State. in this case North
Carolina, would be unwise.
The board had previously recon-
mended that the gross receipts tax
be suspended to all States except
the State which has laws pro-
viding for a gross receipts tax which
has heretofore been imposed. or is
now being imposed, in whole or in
part, on vehicles from" the State"
Gov. Darden had written the
board that this recommendation
would result in "A harmful discrimi-
nation, since the result of your sug-
gestion is to suspend the tax as to
every State except North Carolina. :"
After the boards action in recon-
mending that the tax be imposed on
North Carolina vehicles but not on
other out-of-State trucks, the Gov
ernor asked additional consideration
OF the matter in the light of the
views which I have expressed"
Administrator Joseph H. Eastman
OF the Once of Defense Transpor-
tatlon had requested that Virginia
authorities do everything possible to
remove for the duration certain
barriers to interstate commerce.
In his written statement to the
board. Gov. Darden declared that
he was in accord with the boards
views as to the Justice of the tax
levied, but that quite a different
situation confronts us" because OF

Cotton Conference Forum.
Explaining plans for an Army and
air force Of 100000 which he said
had the hearty Endorsement" of
President Roosevelt, Col. Ginsburgh
called absurd" estimates which say
As many as 10 men must be pro-
ducing to sustain each fighter. He
said an average of two or two and
one-half workers was more likely.
The War Department aide said
the United States now had l.50O,O0
men overseas and estimated the
strength of the European Axis at
well over" 100000. The Axis and
its satellites. he said, had 5000 900
on the Russian front, 100000 along
the southern edge Of Europe, l,00O,-
900 on the west and in Scandinavia,
100000 In reserve and possibly
100000 in Africa. The balance were
semi-military supply, engineers and

Col. Ginsburgh said Allied air
forces about equaled those of the
Axis-900 squadrons-but that the
United States by the end of this
year would have that many, with
100000 men serving overseas.
Our plan is to give every soldier

Senate Group Acts
To Curb Employment
OF Federal Experts
Appropriations Unit
Adds Limiting Rider
To Deficiency Bill

The Senate Appropriations
Committee today added to the
first deficiency bill rider to give
Congress a method Of checking
on the employment of experts by
Government bureaus on a per
diem basis.
Offered by Senator OMahoney.
Democrat, of Wyoming the amend
ment is an outgrowth of one angle
OF the Mcclellan bill. which proposes
Senate confirmation OF all persons
who receive 1850 or more in an
nual salary from the Government.
Senator 'Mahoney explained that
he argued when the Mcclellan bill
was being reported from the Jul
dietary Committee last week that
confirmation was not the way to
cure any abuses that may exist in
the employment OF per diem ex-
perts
For that reason, he said. the
amendment approved today provides
instead that before any department
or agency can hire A person on a
per diem basis-eXcept artisans and
craftsmen who are employed regu-
larlv on per diem baSis-it must
certify TO the Budget Bureau that
such employment is necessary for
services that cannot be obtained
through civil service. It provides
further, that before July !, and
quarterly thereafter, every agency
employing experts on per day basis
must report to Congress the names
OF such persons, their rate Of pay
and the nature and character OF
all outside employment of such
persons"
The appropriation rider is not
substitute for the Mcclellan bill. in
which Senator O'Mahonev is seek
ing to REQUIRE confirmation of pol
lcy-making officials outside of the
classified civil service. but he said It
would render unnecessary the Dan
aher amendment to the Mcclellan
bill
The Mcclellan bill is on the SEN
ate calendar. but is not likely to be
taken up until Senator Mcclellan
Democrat, of Tennessee, RECEIVERS
from an illness. The appropriation
bill. carrying the partial solution re-
lating to per diem experts. is due to
be acted on first

Virginia Abe Board
Upheld in Control Of
Interstate Traffic
Court Of Appeals Rules
In lo Cases; Leesburg
Loses Tax Case

RICHMOND, March 9-The right
Of the State Liquor Board to regulate
interstate liquor traffic in Virginia
was upheld by the State Supreme
Court Of Appeals in one Of 10 opin-
ions handed down Yesterday.
The opinion, prepared by Justice
c. Vernon Spratley, overruled con-
tentlons that the regulations Of the
ABC Board have no extra-terri-
tOrial effect ond are null and void in
SO far as a non resident is con-
cerned,' and that the regulations
dealing with the transportation Of
liquor through the State constituted
burden on interstate commerce.
The case was appealed from Prince
William County by Earl Dickerson.
who was arrested and convicted OF
transporting liquor in excess Of |
gallon through the State to A con-
signee in North Carolina who could
not lawfully receive the liquor. The
1862 gallons Of liquor and the liquor
truck were ordered confiscated.
Town Loses Appeal.
The court affirmed lower court
order denying the town of Leesburg
the right to retain for its own pur-
poses all the revenue received by it
from leVies on the stocks of banks
The town, appealing from a judg-
ment in the Circuit Court of Lou
doun County. contended that an act
Of the General Assembly ,rela ting to
the bank stock revenues was uncon-
stitutional and void in requiring the
town to apply one-third of the reve-
nue. to the schools of the district in
which the banks issuing such stocks
are located.
The opinion said that both the
town and school district Of Lees
burg ARE creatures of the Legisla-
ture within the authorization and
limitation Of the constitution.
The Legislature has ample power
to fix and limit the rate of taxation
on taxable subjects within the town
and to provide how the proceeds
from such taxation shall be expend-
ed for the benefit of the taxpayers.
Judgment Affirmed.
The court affirmed judgment in
another damage case, awarding So
900 to Alfred NJ. Remschel for inju-
ries suffered when he stumbled over
stump in a parking lot operated by
the Acme Markets, Inc, for the Use
Of customers The case was ap-
pealed from the Corporation Court
of Alexandria
The opinion said there was no
substantial conflict in evidence eX-
cept as to the adequate lighting of
the lot, and in our opinion the
question of negligence and contrib
utory negligence III this case were
for the jury to decide.

The Senate passed unanimously
today and sent to the White House
a bill extending to veterans Of the
present war the same hospitaliza-
ton and other benefits now pro-
vlded for veterans of the World War.
Senator Clark, Democrat. OF Mis-
souri, said many disabled soldiers
now being discharged by the armed
forces have been unable to enter
veterans hospitals because of some
doubt in their status under existing
law.
Some of them are mental cases"

Der OF cases where their families
were unable to get them in State
institutions. some have been con-

British Labor Party
Assai|s Arrogance
OF Colonial Chief
Organ Says Col. Stanley
Should Take Interest
In Allies Opinions
BY HELEN KIRKPATRICK,
Foreisn Correspondent Of Ths Star and
Chicago Daily News

Chicago Daily Nsws,
LONDON, March e.-Britain's
Labor party denounces the colonial
policy expounded by Col. Oliver
Stanley, Colonial Secretary, at OK
ford last week and deplores both
the timing and tone OF his speech.
The London Daily Herald today.
speaking with authority as oficial
Labor party organ, states that the
party believes in strengthening and
extending the mandate system.
The Labor view about the COL
onies is certainly not that We should
give them away to be exploited by
some foreign power" says the Her
aid, but that the mandates system
should be extended,
Imperialism Denied.
Further, the Herald attacks the
London Daily Mails laundering
bass" and the "shrill emotion" Of
the London Daily Sketch, which the
Herald sees as gazing at the world
through red, white and blue spec
tacleS"
The Herald points out that such
utterances, and in such tones. not
only arouse suspicion in friendly
countries, but such arrogance con-
tributes nothing to Anglo-American
understanding
The time has come, the Herald
thinks. for Col, Stanley to take an
interest in what the United States.
Russia and China think about the
British empire. 1t also calls atten-
ton to isolationism in the United
States which is still handlcappinz
international cooperation. The con-
slant cry Of isolationists and others
is that the British people at heart
are imperiahsts. We are not" the
Herald states fatty.
Smugness Criticized.
What it calls smugness, self-riaht-
eousness and arrogance of the STAN
ley speech, the Herald regards as in
| tolerable, now, and more intolerable
at any peace table. That Is GER
tainly not the attitude of the Bri-
fish people it says.
The Stanley speech. though rep
resenting official opinion, is seen
here in the same light as Mrs.
Glare Booth Luce's speech to Con-
gresS on postwar air power. 1t will
bring the question which has as
sumed controversial aspect on both
sides Of the Atlantic out into the
open and permit it to be threshed
out now instead of waiting until the
wars end.

RUSSIA'S FUTURE POLICIES

Americans, in considering the future
policy of Russia, should not overlook the
twenty-year treaty of alliance between Rus
STA and Great Britain. This binds Russia
not to make a separate peace with Ger
many and to fight any power, in Europe,
which aids the Nazis.
The alliance was made in June of last
year Besides agreeing not to negotiate or
conclude any armistice or peace treaties
with Germany, except by mutual consent,
the treaty provides that the two nations
shall take measures Ito prevent the repeti-
ton of aggression and violation of peace by
Germany or any of the states associated
with her in acts of aggression in Europe
Significantly, Article V of the treaty
provides that the two nations will take in
to account the interest of the United Ma
tions in these objects (the organization OF
peace and economic stability in Europe) and
they will act III accordance with the two
principles of not seeking territorial aggran-
diZement for themselves and of noI-inter-
ference in the internal affairs of other
states"
