Another EiH to
Seek 'West Point
On West Coast'
Several Proposals
For Naval Schools
In West, South .
WASHINGTON, July 17 (UP)
A bill proposing establishment
of a military academy on the Pa
cific coast was introduced today
for Rep. Lcroy Johnson, R , Calif.
Johnson is the fourth congress
man to suggest the need of a
western West Point. His bill
would authorize the secretary of
war to start investigations and
report to the house military af
fairs committee with recommend
ed locations if he finds a need
exists for a second aculemy.
Four Bllli
"On the western side of the
continent we should have a school
where our future army officers
and enlisted men can be trained
In every type of warfare," John
son said in a statement written
bafore he left for California yes
terday. Although the bill stipulates
"west coast," the statement urges
selection of site in California be
cause of its variety of climate and
topography. Senators Theodore
Bilbo, D., Miss-, and Guy Cordon,
R., Ore., have introduced similur
bills providing for a "west coast"
location. Rep. Gordon McDon
ough, R., Calif., specified a site
In "southern California" in his
bill introduced earler this year.
No action has been taken o:i
any of these bills nor on any of
those introduced to establish na
val academics in the west. One
of these was introduced by Bil
bo, who wants both a naval and
army academy in the south. Reps.
John Tolan, D., Calif., and Franck
Havenner, D Calif., urg-jd a loca
tion in the San Francisco bay
area in their bills.
Rep, Hugh. Delacy, D.,' Wash.,
sponsored a bill to locate a sec
ond Annapolis at Puget Sound.
McDonpugh also wants a western
naval academy, but he wants it
in southern California.
Lawrence Hawes
Also Has Model
Of 'Half Moon'
Walfred Gudmundson, who, in
a Portland paper Sunday, show
ed what- he believed to be the
only scale model of Henry Hud
son's Half Moon, is actually un
able to claim even the only mod
el, in Oregon, since Lawrence
Hawes, 604 ,Adi"-avunue, also
has a scale model of the famous
ship.
The model was built by Elmer
Goddard in 1937, carved from one
large piece of mahogany, instead
of being made from separate
pieces of sugar pine and fir as is
Gudmundson's model. Goddard
was six months building the ship,
which bears the original Dutch
spelling "Haelve Maen," an has
two anchors, two cannons on each
side, and two aft. There is one
deck gun, one life boat, and three
tiny stairways, two with five
steps each, and one with two
steps.
The sails are kept down, but
can be hoisted, when desired, bv
midget ropes passing through
pulleys. The pulleys were made
by sawing knitting needles into
sections.
After Goddard's death in 1941,
Mrs. Goddard presented the mod
el to Hawes, who keeps it on top
of his desk at home. Goddard
made only one other ship, a model
of a pirate ship, now owned by
one of his friends in Portland.

26,000 Workers
To Transfer to .
Ship Repair Jobs
SAN FRANCISCO, July 17
(UP) The wur manpower com
mission announced today the na
tiun is at work on a program to
transfer 2,000 skilled workers to
critical- jobs n ship repair yards,
railroads and other high priority

of regional WMC directors from
throughout the nation, said the
43 states outside the west coast
area will seek to recruit 2U.U00

The five staes in turn will mutch

Former Air Base
CHUNGKING, July 17 (UP)
Chinese troops penetrated Kwei-
lin today in a quick smash that
threatened 'to overrun the
largest Japanese-held 14th U. S.
air force base in China.
Two advancing columns in
Kwangsi province pushed 20
miles north of Kweilin to cut off
the enemy's retreat toward Hun

Forward elements of Chinese
troops stormed Kweilin's out
perimeter, advanced through out
lying defenses and smashed into
the suburbs.
Primary targets of this ground
campaign are three huge air
fields dotting Kweilin s outskirts,
which constitute the largest base
abandoned to the enemy.

Communists Soon I
To Boot Browder
Out, Take Foster
By LYLE C. WILSON
WASHINGTON, July 17 (UP)
American communists aia about
to boot Earl Browder out of the
party command in a maneuver
toward resuming the class war
they abandoned nearly two years
ago under his leadership.
Browder persuaded the party
to give up its active political
status and to become the com
munist political association. It
was his theory nil cloments of the
population of the United States
could live, work and prospor to
gether. Other communists chal
lenged Browder.
Likely rosier
Now after move than a month
of public discussion in the com
munist press, these developments
appear likely:
I. Removal of Browder and
selection of an advocate of the
class struggle as American com
munist leader. William rosier,
veteran of the movement, seems
to be a likely successor.
2. Abandonment or tne - poli
tical association" type or organ
ization in favor of a regularly or-
unnized political party.
3 An aggressive communist
boring into all mass organizations
notably labor unions.
Back Again
All the foreeoine is in the dis
cussion stage and uwaits final
decision by a communist conven.
vention. But the tred of com
munist sympathy is clearly evi
dent in the organization's daily
and weekly press. Columns of
discussion have been priniea
with little if any disagreement
with the argument communists
had better get back into the class
struggle business.
Tho communists recognize the
fuct they are too few in number
to be a major political factor, al
though they have on ccasion cast
balanco-of-powor votes in New
York state. Therefore they
frankly assort their interest in
boring into other mass organiza
tions to spread the party line.
Ultimately they hope to break
through the two-party system in
the United States.
Americans to Get
'Just' Share of
Nation's Food Crop
WASHINGTON, July 17 (UP)
American civilians are going to
get a just share of the nation's
food supply and not simply
what is left in the cupboard af
ter other demands have been met.
Secretary of Agriculture Clin
ton P. Anderson made that clear'
today with his pledge the needs
of the American people must
and will be given "due recogni
tion" when food is being allo
cated for military and foreign use.
In his first public survey of
food problems, the nation's new
food boss said the policy of "close
nnd constant" scrutiny of food de
mands already has brought re
sults. Truman Asks For
'One Man Board'
WASHINGTON, July 17 (UP)
President Truman today asked
congress to scrap the three-man
surplus property board and au
thorize uppointment of a single
official to direct the vast job of
handling the government's sur
plus war property.
Experience has shown the job
should be centralized under a
single head, Truman said in a
special message to congress.
The program now is adminis
tered by a three-man board. Its
new chairman, W. Stuart Sym
ington of St. Louis, took his oath
of office only yesterday. It was
believed if congress should set
up a one-man administrator, Tru
man probably would pick Sym
ington. Official Records

ried a United Press Washington
dispatch that officials had nearly
completed an outline of the terms
to be handed Japan once the
Japanese decide on unconditional
surrender.

King Leopold Asks
Vote On Kingship
LONDON, July 17 (UP) Fro
ntier Achille Van Acker read to
the Belgian chamber of deputies
today a letter in which King
Leopold asked that parliamen
tary elections be held to test
whether he should retain the
throne.
Leopold, in the letter broad
cast by the Brussels radio, said
cntiment at present could not be
determined, and that the "will of
the people alone" would cause
him to abdicate.
The Belgian parliament met in
extraordinary session to consider
the political crisis. Leopold said
he considered that a majority of
the Belgians wanted him to re
turn, but he would not "until na
tional consultation of the country
takes place."
Blackbirds, thrushes, larks and
other birds, were sold for food in
London during World War I.
