Stimson Says Army
Has Postwar Plans
To Retain Guardsmen
Reserves Would Furnish
Units for Services
Anywhere in World

Secretary Stimson declared today
the War Department has very
definite plans" for retention of the
National Guard as reserve COM
ponent of the Army for both de-
fensive and offensive action after
the war.
He told a press conference he
has received and approved a recon-
mendation of the National Guard
Committee of the general staff
that the mission of the Guard Re-
serve components in postwar re-
organization will be to furnish units
for service anywhere in the world
Declaring the War Department
is counting on the National Guard
as "a bulwark of our future ma
tional security" Mr.. Stimson said
he wished to make it clear that
the Importance of the Guard units
in the peacetime Army would not
be lessened by enactment of uni
versal training legislation.
Retention Recommended.
Mr.. Stimson said the General
Staff Committee had recommended
that the Guard not only be main
tanned as part of the peacetime
military establishment but also made
capable of immediate expansion to
war strength.
THAT has been one Of the diff
culties that we have had in the
past" he reminded.
Discussing the part the Guard
would play in the peacetime mill
tary setup, he emphasized that in
the event of national emergency
sit will furnish units fit for service
anywhere in the world"
He declared these units would be
trained and equipped to defend
critical areas in this country against
land, sea-borne or air-borne in
vasion and to assist in covering the
mobilization and concentration OF
the remainder of the reserve forces.
States Forces Unimpaired.
They also would be capable oil
indignation by units, he said, into
larger organizations or task forces
This conception of the mission
of the National Guard of the United
States would interfere in no way
with the traditional mission of the
National Guard of the States anc
Territories to provide sufficient or.
CARNATIONS in each State" he said
In commenting on the genera.
record of the National Guard, Secre-
tary Stimson declared the organi-
zation had played vital role in
the mobilization of our present
Army and commended their bril-
liant record on every fighting 'front.'

Holiday Employers .
Of Children Warned
To Observe Law
Miss Lenroot Cautions
Against Overworkine
Students Who Help

Retailers and other prospective
employers of school children during
the Christmas holidays were urged
today by Katharine F. Lenroot, chief
of the Labor DEPARTMENT. Chill
dren's Bureau. to cooperate with
school authorities in working out
employment policies that will not
endanger the schooling or health
of pupils.
Boys and girls UNDERSTANDABLE
want holiday jobs and merchants
are pressed for help to take them
on" Miss Lenroot said. But the
youngsters are apt to overestimate
the load they can carry outside OF
school hours and many of them
become overtired or i'll, fall behind
in their classes and lose out in
their schooling"
The problem is particularly serious
the bureau chief said, as far as ID
and Is year old children are con-
cerned. They should not be en-
ployed, she added, until all reserves
of women and older boys and girls
are employed.
Miss Lenroot warned that child
labor provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act must be strictly OBJ
served. Most large retail establish
ments, she explained, are subject to
Federal regulation under the child
labor provisions of the act
In retail establishments subject
to its provisions 16-year minimum
age applies to work in the depart
ment where manufacturing is done
In other departments, such as SELL
ing and clerical work, children of
IA and IS years may be employed
outside of school hours but for no
more than 8 hours a day or 18
hours a week when school is in
session.
When school is not in session
they may work hours day and 40
hours a week. Employment must be
out-of school hous and not beyond

Suggestion Under Study
By BoseboII Congress-
Model Is Offered Free

Plans already are being considered
for holding the first non-profes-
sional baseball worlds series in the
proposed national stadium here,
it was disclosed today.
While Congress studied legislation
which Capital residents hope will
result in construction of the sta
dunn after the war, the National
Baseball Congress reported that ne
gotiations are in progress with the
co-ordinator of American af-
fairs for the projected amateur base

Offers to Build Model.
An offer to build a model of the
stadium project was submitted,

Subcommittee, headed by Repre-

The offer came from H. Noel
Poirier, 1914 Maryland avenue NE,
who has been building models for
everything from airplanes to power
projects for the past 20 years. Mr..
Poirier sand he would, construct the
model without charge because of his
interest in the stadium project.
What he has in mind is a model
about 10 feet square. made of plaster.
wood and paper. He said it would
take about three or four months to
complete the model, and, therefore,
he would like to be reasonably GER
tain the plans he works from are in
final shape before he begins the job.
Could Be Closely Studied.
Mr. Poirier pointed out that il
such a model were available. not only
would the public be given a better
idea of the proposed project but the
planners would have the opportunity
to study it for defects before con-
struction started.
The matchmaker. who made his
offer to Mr. Harris in a letter, urged
that plans for the stadium be worked
out gradually and thoughtfully, with
consideration for the important role
Washington will play as a capital
of the postwar world He suggested
that the stadium be given an inter-
national flavor by using building
materials from all over the world
Meanwhile, Mr. Harris announced
