Vets Face 21st Convention
With. Grave Problems
of War Defense
CHICAGO. Sept 3.-W)-Tbe
American Legion moTed into po
sition today for what jnay be Its
greatest offensive against war.
Graver ot cast In lta preliminar
ies than the preludes to preTioua
national conventions, the 2 1st ga
thering of the yeterans started
dealing immediately with the cru
cial questions " of United States
neutrality and strengthening the
nation's sinews of defense.
Many' of the hundreds of depart
mental resolutions were concerned
with those issues. Building upon
the resolutions, the national or-"-
ganlzation was expected to shape
a rigorous and unified expression,
which probably will reach the
convention floor Wednesday or
Thursday.
Still Plenty of Pun
The tense atmosphere of the
world, in which the legion meets
this year, evoking a conspicuous
sober-mindedness among the vet
erans, has by no means destroyed
the traditional play spirit,; how
aver. VisitinfChicaco for the first
time since 1933. the legion has
brought i an -officially estimated
250,000 or more to the city.
Certain observers discerned In
VXhe hum and hurly of the day
""something analogous to the taut
and serious state of mind In 1917
and 1918. The difference, they
accentuated, was in a more realis
tic public opinion today and a les
sened susceptibility to war psy
choses. !
i Crime Drive Urged
Questions other than neutral-
itr and national defense likewise
engaged the attention of the le
gion. : Judge' Richard Hartsborue of
Newark, N. J., chairman of the
national law and order committee,
, said the, leeion had made impor
tant contributions to the fight
against crime. He . asked, In his
annual accounting, that all citi
zens join the legion In a drive next
year for the prevention of juven
ile delinquency, which he termed
the root of all crime,
i Glen R. Hillis of Kokomo, Ind.,
national child welfare chairman,
reported the legion spent 23,641,
721 fn direct emereencv financial
relief for 442,489 in 1939. Most
ot the money, he said, was used
tor food, clothing and medical aid.

Bright Months Ahead for US Trade
War or no War, Economist says
SEATTLE. SeDt. 23. (AP) Col. Leonard P. Ayers,
noted economist, said today business conditions in the nation,
"which have been getting better since spring," would continue
to improve for at least the rest of the year even without an
added stimulus from the Euro-?
pean war.
He declared, in an interview.
he favored President Roosevelt's
stand on neutrality in repeal of
the present law containing a
provision for an embargo on
arms sales.
Colonel Ayers made known his
views on the economic trend as
hundreds of bankers were con
verging on Seattle for the Ameri
can Bankers' association s 65th
annual convention. About 3,000
financiers were expected.
Ayers said he had noted the

The Germans in 1914 followed

Fast Streamline Corps
For Quick US Defense
WASHINGTON, Sept 23. (AP) The war depart
ment ia rushing organization of five army divisions into a mo
bile, bard-tutting corps which would be ready for instant dis
patch to defend any threatened mainland point, or such out
posts as Panama and Hawaii.
Not since the World war has the army had an organized
corps.
President Roosevelt's national
emergency order adding 17,000
men to the regular army pro
vided means to carry oat a gen
eral staff plan for a combat
corps of about 40,000.
Under army plans, three par
tially organised divisions will be
"streamlined" in a tew weeks and
made a part, of the corps. The
first, with headquarters at Fort
Hamilton, N. T.; the second, at
Fort Sam Houston, Tex., and the
third at Fort Lewis, Wash.
Washington Gets Unit
Two new divisions will be
created the fifth, with head
quarters at Fort Sheridan, IiL,
and the sixth, at Fort Lewis.
Under plans already approved
by the general staff, divisions are
to be reduced In sixe to Itt offi
cers, two warrant officers and
7C00 men for peace time. In war
they would be quickly expanded
to 64 C officers, two warrant offi
cers and 10,837 men.
World war , infantry divisions
numbered 27,000. Tests for the
smaller "streamlined" Unit al
ready have been completed at
Fort Sam Hbuston, Texas.
The new streamlined vision Is
to be made up of three infantry
regiments, two field artillery
regiments, one armed with 76
millimeter guns and the other
with 155s and 105s. an engineer
battalion, a medical battalion, and
quartermaster battalion.'

Rise of Mercury
Value Aids State
Soaring prices for mercury, due
to the European war, may result
in increasing materially the state's
financial income, Governor
Charles A. Sprague declared Sat
urday. Lewis Griffith, clerk of the
state land board, said the state
might receive as much as $100,000
royalty from the sale of cinnabar
from a 28 acre plot of waste land
near Sutherlin. Negotiations are
now under way between the land
board and owners of the bonanza
mine, second largest cinnabar op
eration in the United States, for a
royalty lease.
The price of mercury has advan
ced from $97 two months ago to
$160 a 72-pound flask.
The drift from which the bon
ansa mine operators are taking
material producing 13 flasks a
day is within 200 feet of the state
property, which is a part ot a
school section.
Griffith said prospectors had re
quested the board's permission to
intensify cinnabar Investigations
on a piece of state land in Crook
county.
