New Proposal Of Army Is Opposed
Washington jame 28 AP Word circulated at the capitol today that the War department wanted a congressional declaration of a national emergency and brought out immediate manifestations of opposition. Such a declaration would permit national guardsmen and selective service trainees to be kept in active service indefinitely and would also lift the present restriction on the president's powers to send troops out of the western hemisphere. Representative Woodrum declared that such a proposal would bring a little storm of protest. Starnes said congress and the people were ready to spend any amount and exert whatever effort required to safeguard the western hemisphere, but there was no plan or intention of this country going to war. In executive departments, defense program moved ahead with new measures such as a radio device to detect approaching enemy aircraft miles away and a recruiting program for technicians to man listening posts along coasts and island outposts. The Office of Production Management announced defense housing projects would be given first call over civilian housing.
