41st Division
On Two Days
Sham Battle
Fort Lewis, April 31 VP) For the
first time since it was called to ac
tive service last September, the 41st
division plunged today into a two-
day war game that will see every
Infantry, artillery, engineer, signal,
medical and supporting unit in con
certed, simulated combat.
With Fort Lewis and the new
41st division cantonment in the
hands of a theoretical enemy, more
than 15,000 men of the 41st girded
themselves at Rainier, Wash., for a
gigantic offensive push during the
night that will culminate with a full
divisional attack at dawn tomorrow,
Fighting side by side will be Ore-
gon and Washington Infantry and
artillery, Idaho artillerymen and
engineers, Montana Infantrymen
and Wyoming service troops.
The 41st has not fought as a com.
plete unit since last summer's far
west war games. Since that time,
the Pacific northwest division has
been put on active duty and pro.
gresslvely trained in company, regl
mental and brigade combat. From
partly-trained civilian-soldiers, the
men have been drilled into seasoned
troopers.
Watching the 41st in Its first big
test were Major General George A,
White of Salem, Ore., divisional
commander, and Major General
Kenyon A. Joyce, corps comman
der.
This was the problem facing the
41st:
The enemy has captured the
northwest's biggest military post.
Theoretically, the 3rd division, back.
ed against the Nlsqually river, is
holding it at bay. The 41st is pre
paring for an offensive push at
Rainier.
At sundown, the 41st will start
moving up 10 miles under blackout
conditions for a dawn attack de
signed to dislodge the enemy. The
northwest troops will attempt to
drive it onto the Nlsqually tideflats
and force a "little Dunkerque" eva,
cuatlon.
In precious brigade combat man'
euvers, 81st troops have always been
on the defensive. The current "war"
will put them in the role of at
tackers for the first time.

Jones Deplores
Defense Lag
New York, April 21 (P) Secretary
of Commerce Jesse H. Jones declar
ed today that although defense
activity is "better than good," there
is no room for American "complac
ency."
"There is no place for lndlffer
ence," Jones said in a speech pre'
pared for delivery at the annual
luncheon of the Associated Press at
the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria.
The secretary coupled a report of
progress in defense over the past
year with two warnings:
"If the aggressor nations are suc
cessful, our generation is apt to lee
little of tranquillity.
"If we are to get ready to defend
ourselves, let's be sure that we do a
good Job of it."
Dwelling momentarily on "our
lack of preparedness" a year ago, he
conceded it is "not easy for a peace
loving people like ours to change
overnight from purely peace time
pursuits to complete all-out effort
at arming, even for defense."
"This is particularly true," he said,
"because we have always had faith
in the protection of the oceans, and
have always believed that no power
could Invade us.
"Maybe we can't be invaded, but
we might become isolated econom
ically, and that would Inevitably
lead to war. Trade outlets are the
cause of most wars."

Shipping Key
To Outcome of
War Says Lovell
Ability of America to provide
shipping will be the determining
factor in the outcome of the pres
ent European conflict, In the opin
ion of Dr. R. Ivan Lovell, professor
of history, who spoke to the Cham
ber of Commerce today on the lat
est developments abroad. Loss of
the Sues canal would not be as ser
ious as lack of merchant ships on
the Atlantic ocean, he held. Great
Britain, losing around 350,000 tons
of shipping a month, can lose an
other 4,000.000 tons-before the sit
uation becomes critical, Dr. Lovell
declared.
Peneratlon of Latin - American
countries, with 20,000,000 people of
axis nationality was viewed as a
greater menace than loss of Greece
and Turkey with a "second Dun
kerque" in the Mediterranean sea.
Most significant development In
the world conflict since the first of
the year was the lend-lease bill and
the subsequent developments such
as the $7,000,000,000 appropriation
measure.
"The United States Is not at war
but is in the war, both morally and
materially," Dr. Lovell declared.
"This does not Involve the sending
of expeditionary forces to Europe
but Involves this country in support
to British principles of democracy
and the loss of the British fleet
would place the United States on
the verge of the danger of aggres
sion but not invasion."

casting over station WJNO of Palm

Washington, April 2t (U.R) One
thousand young American doctors

lecting the volunteers and pass on
their qualifications. The division of
medical sciences of the national
research council has established a
special subcommittee on medical
personnel for Britain,
Young surgeons and physicians
who volunteer for British service
will be enrolled by the Red Cross
In Britain and will "work under the
protection of the Red Cross treaty
of Geneva, a covenant which has
been respected by belligerents since
1864," Mr. Roosevelt said.
Those accepted will not be re

Delay Asked
By Objectors
(Continued from page 1
owners Boise and Eoff set forth
10 alleged "facts not heretofore
printed," as follows:
1. Our plan on f Ha Is for a service t.
tton. Not a saraae. t. Check city enal-
neer a office for square footaae. b. Check
county assessor's office for our awurane
mat taxes will not raise.
3. Thll would not ehanKe tha ion at
all. (Check with city engineer or atty.)
a. Tne it ate now has seven bulldlmi
in thli group where not eo lone ago
triers was but one.
4. House bill No. 2. tmssptl hv ihfa
last legislature of 1S41 provides mentis
ana procedure for the purchase of land
in block 85, only, and for construction of
a bulldlns thereon, when labor nd ma
terial considerations are favorable. Said
buiidlnc to be on block 79, a full block
away.
6. we believe that before the oresena
owned land and block 85 are built on that
all of us will be dead and cone. n tha
meantime all business, both good and
bad, will go elsewhere and many of
these old homes will be second and third
class rooming houses. 'And taxes won't
decrease). If two apartment houses in
built each year, each to occupy a full
quarter block, It would take almost 100
years to use the abutting and adjacent
blocks. We believe It better to encour
age and restrict the better types of
commerclnl enterprises, and particularly
those needed by a larger traffic, a large
payroll croup, and an Increasing busi
ness coming to these buildings. (Two
main highways are a little too noisy for
apartment houses).
6. Appreciation of the aesthetic and
beautiful Is commendable but some at
tentlon ah,ould attll be reserved for the
practical and the matter of convenience
to people doing business with tha atata
and to tha state employes. The capltol
group are the state's business buildings.
7. We have no apologies for the c tr
laws. In effect for lfl years; we have
obeyed them to. the letter and expect to
in me future.
8. we Question the motive and Judg
ment that would prompt any adwlia to
disobey or avoid these laws.
8, we have told the newspapers, and
we repeat again: We will abandon our
Plan and give this natural automobile
traffic corner back to the Indiana rather
than Jeopardize the acquisition of a new
state building.
10. We would appreciate It If you
would reserve judgment until you hava
given serious study to both sides of this
question,
