Lib Emergency Proposal
War Department Plan Would Broaden
Powers of FDR and Keep Soldiers
in Active Service Indefinitely
WASHINGTON, June 28.-;P-Word circulated: at the cap-
itol Saturday that the war department wanted a congressional
declaration of a national emergency and brought out immediate
manifestations of opposition.
Such a declaration would per
mit national guardsmen and se
lective service trainees to be kept
in active service: indefinitely, and
would also lift the present ' re
striction on the president's powers
to send troops out of the western
hemisphere. : ,
Representative Woodrum (D
Va) expressed his views in the
house by declaring that such s
proposal would bring a "little
storm of protest by one mem
ber' of congress who has gone
100 percent with the adminis
tration's foreign policy." '
And Representative S t a rn e s
(D-Ala) said congress -and the
people were ready to spend any
amount and exert whatever ef
fort was required to safeguard
the western hemisphere, but that
there was no plan or intention of
this country's going to war.
In executive departments,
meantime, the defense program
itself was pushed ahead and there
werenew 'moves to ease its im
pact on civilians.. : . .
