They're scaring people around here unnecessarily. Gates to the White House have been clanged shut and armed policemen stand there to shoo the throng of tour ists away. Heretofore tourists could enter and wander around the grounds, feeding peanuts to the gray squirrels. That’s out now. '1 he famed east room of the White House, visited by several thousand tourists daily, is barred Ropes and barricades are in the corridors of the sprawling capitol building to curb visitors. Even members of congress have to iden tify themselves to young law stud ents who compose the capitol po lice. Last year these youths were unarmed; they were so green that it was not considered safe for them to carry weapons. They have been rearmed. Guards at the doors of public buildings give the double-O to every many or woman entering the place.

H. B. Bentley, commander, immediately launched a recruiting drive intend ed the bring the local unit up to new quota within the week. Yes terday 16 of the 35 needed men ha<l been signed. Captain Bentley announced. The increase here came as the result of Presidential orders ex panding the United States' peace time military services, including the National Guard, regular army, marines and navy. Local officers are eager to comply with the ex pansion order as quickly as pos sible to maintain a long-standing fine record here. Thursday night guardsmen held special drills in the armory to which interested persons were invited. Pointing out special advantages enjoyed in the coast artillery, Captain Bentley declared "There 13 a mistaken impression that the Oregon National Guard soon will mobilize, which is untrue. We merely are increasing our strength as authorized by peace time meas ures and are able to offer what we believe are desirable advant ages to single men of thia area between the ages of 20 and 38 years. Interesting training, drills, education, physical development and summer camp-- as well as liberal pay— are a part of coast artillery work.” Captain Bentley, together with First Lieut. Roy Clary as recruit ing officer, and Second Lieut. Lynn Neeley, supply and mess of ficer, are conducting the intens ive enlistment campaign through the week and are maintaining an information and recruiting office in the armory until 11 p. m. each night.
