That since the big problem in extending club work is to find real local leaders we urge that every person present at this con ference regard it as an obligation of citizenship to reader assistance in this connection whenever asked to do so. 2. That a county organization of local leaders be developed for the purpose of promoting com munity leadership In each locality. ana also to make It possible leaders. 3.

That since a large part of the accomplishments of club work In hls county have been due to the Individual efforts of teachers and the cooperation of the office of the county school superintend ent, that the value of their past cooperation be recognized, and that their help In the future be earnestly solicited.

The first witness called, Briga dier General Lerdy Eltlnge, who was an umpire in the recent Ha waiian maneuvers, disputed the defense contention that the War IN'iwrtnient had no plan for de fense In the Pacific. The witness added, however, that these plans were so highly confidential that they should not be talked about, and the point was not pressed. The witness conceded that there was no "satisfactory cooperation" between the army and navy air services during the Hawaiian man euvers. Asked for that reason, he replied: "Tlio army and navy ( air services had not had preliminary Joint exercises. They were, as a result, not ahle tn rombfne their material and men Into a smooth working machine." Coordination Impossible. "How would you remedy such a situation?" be was asked.
