completes arrangements for tn,
training of its first 10000 draftee!
beginning next month.
Latest reports showed that $40 ,00t

Ofncials said this rate was within
budgetary schedules for the expan.
sion.
Recruiting continued to maintain
a steady pace although slightly
below the high levels reached re.
Gently. During the first 81 days o.
last month 40,508 volunteered.
Personnel officers said they be.

largely men who preferred to sign
up themselves rather than wait tc
be drafted but expressed the opin-
ion that most of the men in this
category have been recruited.
Calls to Be Increased.
The Army therefore is going for
ward with plans to increase its
monthly draft calls gradually until
around 10000 will be requested each
month. A total Of $4,000 has been
asked for December.
The Army also is taking in from
$500 to 1000 reserve officers month
ly who apply for active duty. The

ficient to fill requirements and there
are no present plans to call re-
serves without their consent.
Army plans for draftees have been
completed with the reopening OF
Camp Pickett, near Blackstone, Va.
where most District inductees will
be assigned for basic training, and
three other training centers. The
projected strength of Camp Pickett
is $4,000 officers and men.
In all, the Army will operate eight
basic training centers. The centers
in addition to Camp Pickett, with
their projected strengths follows:
Fort Ord, Calf. 10000; Fort Jack.

ber to around Is a day later" he
added.

In the very hearing chambers,
members of the committee, purpOrt- :

United States Government, directed
private employers to discharge and
blacklist witnesses whom the COM
mittee had subpoenaed." he related.
The standards for determination,
the trial and punishment came
from that one boy. without op-
portunlty for Intervention by any
other authority. No organ of our
government, unless perhaps mill

Question before"
Various witnesses called before
House committees have refused to
answer the question, Are you now
or have you ever been member of
the Communist Party?"
For a long time the witnesses
cited only the First Amendment to
the Constitution as justifying their
refusals. They contended that ques-
tions concerning political activities
are a threat to the rights of free
assembly and association.
More recently some Of those sum-
moned in connection with the Un-
American Activities Committed
espionage inquiry have cited the
Fifth Amendment, which permits a
witness to refuse to give testimony
that might tend to incriminate or
degrade him.
Eisler Appeal Pending.
On the high courts docket now is an
appeal by Gerhard Eisler, described
by the committee as the United
States No. Communist" Eisler was
charged with contempt for refusing
to be sworn before the committee
He was sentenced to a year in prison
and was fined 81 900.
In petitioning the high court for
a review of his case, Eisler said that
before being sworn he sought vainly
to make a statement explaining his
legal objections to the committee S
procedure. He said that If he had
been permitted to make the state
ment, he would have been willing to
testify.
The justices will announce shortly
whether they will grant him hear
ing. A refusal to do SO would have
the effect Of affirming Eisler's con-
viction.
JOsephson Petition Denied.
In its last term, the court twice
turned down similar petitions by
Leon Josephson, Trenton IN. j.,
attorney also convicted of contempt
for refusing to testify. Josephson
got the same sentence as that given
Eisler.
The justices have agreed to rule
this term whether Carl A. Marzani,
former State Department employe,
was convicted properly on charges
of making false statements to a
department offcial concerning al
legged Communist Party activities.
Marzani faces one to three years
in prison.

Closer LiaisOn Necessary To Combat War

SAN FRANCISCO, (P Tn e time has come for closer liaison between those who shape the na- tional policy and those who furn- ish the sinews of war, James Boyd, director of the U. s. bureau of mines told the American Congress yesterday.
 In an address prepared for de- livery Boyd warned, "The critical state of world affairs has added innumerable problems to govern ment and the mining industry"
 "No longer can government ex- temporize or deal with these prob lems in an academic fashion. They are real. They are urgent" he said. He told the mining men that the American mineral supply is runn- ing far below the level necessary to national safety.
 Charles F. Willis, chairman of the minerals advisory councils subcommittee on public lands, submitted proposals for improving the governments land policy.
 ,"It is rather a sad commentary on our free enterprise system that when a person discovers a deposit which he can utilize or which, by his own inventive genius, may be converted into something import ant and marketable he then had to seek a lease from the government and is even forced to bid for what he had discovered" he stated.

Wrecked Plane Had No Fortune

EDMONTON, (P)-C. L. Fallart, hunter from Elkton, Ore, who found a crashed United States air force plane in the Canadian wilds, Saturday said he saw no gold or currency aboard the wrecked air craft. He reported finding only the bodies of the II crew members and passengers.
 There was no gold or huge sums of currency in the wreckage of the plane" Fallart said in long distance telephone conversation from Fort Nelson, B. C. "We found some money in the clothing of the dead. If there was a fortune in gold bullion and payroll currency on the plane I never saw it."
 He said stories of discovery of a treasure-laden craft by him and his Indian guide, George Bahne of Ft. Nelson "were simply fantastic"
 Other members of the party said yesterday that the reports they re- ceived of gold and currency car go on the plane came from Cana dians at Fort Nelson, not from U.

Mrs. Lulu Heron ~TOOOldTO
 Carry On Work"

SEATTLE, (P)-The weight of the years has finally driven Mrs. Lulu Heron from her beloved Alaska and the Eskimos and whites she served for 32 years with the spirit of a Florence Night ingale.
 Tt may sound silly and girlish of me-" she told an interviewer to- day, "but I've always regarded my work in Alaska as a grand adven- ture. But now I'm old and in poor health. I'm afraid may never go back"
 The Eskimos' name for her was Mahkaluk, meaning "Grandmoth- er," she said. She went north as nurse with the Indian Service in 1916, and until this week had been "Outside" only twice, in 1926 and 1891. s+
 Her headquarters were at Beth el, on the Kuskokwim, and she covered a vast territory bounded by the Yukon River, the Boring Sea and Bristol Bay. .....
 One of her vivid memories, she said, was of an influenza epidemic which sent a high percentage of the Eskimo population to bed. She was taken ill.
 The well Eskimos bundled me on a sledge and off we went, from village to village" she recalled. 'T never was able to get off my back the whole "trip. From my bed I'd give orders how to combat their illness. It was an ordeal, but we licked the epidemic"
 She is visiting Mrs. Robert Wightman here before leaving for California.
