Lodge Says Only 8951 Recruits Obtained in Cur- rent Drive for 13,194 New Warehouse, Water Sys- Are Planned at Resort Washington, June 27. (If) Voluntary enlistments have failed to raise the army to its authorized strength. Senator Lodge (R., Mass.) told the sen ate, and congress should adopt a compulsory selective service law so that "this period shall not be known a the Chamber lain era in American history." Discussing the $1,777,489,788 emergency defense appropria tion bill (HR10055), which car ried funds for 95.000 additional en'istments to bring the army up to 375,000 men. Lodge ex pressed his belief that the United States should have an army of 750,000. Empty Gestur An amendment to provide such an army, he said, would be a "perfectly empty gesture,' however, because the war de partment "is experiencing the greatest difficulty in obtaining recruits for an army of 280,000 men, and grave doubts are ex pressed by those competent to have an opinion as to whether or not it will be possible to build the army up to the very small number of 385,000 by the process of voluntary enlist ment." Lodge said the first, second, third and fifth corps areas had fallen so far behind their share of the 13,194 recruits sought in an enlistment program from May 18 to June 30, that their Quotas were reduced and the difference added to the quotas of the other areas. Only 8.951 recruits had been obtained by June 16, he said. Meanwhile, the war department has allotted tentative quotas to enlist 38.000 additional men between July 1 and August 31 to reach the 280,- 000 figure. Draft Bill Ready Lodge expressed the hope, "in view of the fact that we are not procuring men for this little army," that congress would enact a selective service law. Asked by Senator King (D.,.Utah) if he had introduced such a bill, Lodge replied that he had not, but would be "very glad to do so if I thought there was any demand for it." "I understand that the war department has such legislation ready," he added, "and that it could be gotten up here in 10 minutes in the event there was a disposition on the part of the leadership here to support such a proposal." The Mouthful senator from Massachusetts, himself a reserve captain, branded schemes to militarize the civilian conserva tion corps as "grossly undem ocratic" because they "single out a group of underprivileged boys for special treatment, and I do not believe that is the right way to proceed." Proposals to draft noncombat- ants, women as well as men, were denounced also by Lodge as an "affront to family life and to all our institutions." Heary Cost Seen He estimated the first year cost of raising the army, under selective service law, from its present authorized strength of 375.000 to the 750.0UO ne ad vocated at $1,487.583,349, ' and the additional annual cost of maintaining it after the first year at about $500,000,000. "This terrible war in Europe teaches us many lessons," he said, "but one of the lessons It has taught us emphatically Is that qualities of mind and SDirit. no matter how superb they may be. are no match for troops that are highly trained in mechanized warfare. "Another lesson this war has taught us is that modern armies cannot be raised and trained after the war has started. It simply cannot be done." Helen Keller 60 Wilson. Conn., June 27. HP) Helen Keller, the blind author and lecturer, celebrated her 60th birthday at her home here today. Weather Northern California: Fair to night and Friday, but fogs on coast; not so warm in delta re gion and coastal valleys Friday: Gentle northwest wind off coast, but strong above Point Reyes. icH In tinucj. an lm-trir liffht ! i . J k. . . u t pLHIll u auu m urn U0 luim service installs such a plant, he stated. The Union Creek ranger sta tion is a new bunding with facilities for the public as well as for the ranger and other forest service officers. It was completed a short time ago. Development of the ranger station area to meet the needs of the forest service and the public has been going on for some time. The development tem and Gasoline Station , it was pointed out. is based primarily on ins loresi service policy of the fullest utilization by the public of forest resources consistent with sound conservation. the keel of the 45,000-ton battle ship Iowa will be laid tomorrow at the Brooklyn navy yard. The public will not be admitted. The Iowa is one of four 45.000-ton ships authorized under the navy expansion program. MORE TROOPS ARRIVE AT McCHORD AIRBASE Tacoma. Wash., June 27. lPl The strength of McChord field, the nation's newest airbase, rost to 1.088 officers and men to day as 219 transferees from March field, California, arrived by special train. The troops compose the 89th reconnaissance squadron and three units of the 17th bom bardment group. Officers of the new troops have been ar riving by private cars from southern California for the past several days. warehouse employes will vote under national labor relations board supervision within 30 days on acceptance of the AFL ware housemen's union as bargaining agent. Development of the Union Creek ranger station area in the Rogue River national forest was carried forward today as workmen prepared for the con struction of a new warehouse, water system and gasoline sta tion. Actual construction work was to begin as soon as all the necessary materials had been delivered at the site, head quarters here announced. The new warehouse is to be a frame, shake-covered build ing 30 by 52 feet in outside dimensions. It will be built in the ranger station service area where it will be concealed by trees from view from the highway. Storage space will be provided downstairs while upstairs will be a bunk room for the accommodation of a dozen forestry workers. CCC Men Aid Work. The lumber, bought through competitive bidding from a Prospect mill, was being haul ed to the site today. White pine shakes, salvaged from culls at timber sales, will be used for the outside finish. The shakes were made bv CCC en- rollees. The warehouse will I be built by CCC men under the supervision of Everett Raw lings, foreman. Fire fighting equipment, Improvement tools and other forest equipment will be stored in the new building. Pipe for the new water sys tem was being hauled to Union Creek from Sterling today. The water is to be piped from a spring 242 feet above the level of Union Creek, this decline to give a pressure of 56 pounds at the ranger station and 85 pounds at the public camp ground. About 7230 feet of six-inch pipe will be laid from the spring to Crater Lake high way and from there the water will be piped out to the con sumption points. The new system will provide water for the ranger station group of buildings, public pic nic and campground area, CCC side camp, a private resort and a number of summer homes in the forest region. More Water Needed. The new water system, said Karl L. Janouch, forest super visor, was needed primarily for fire protection. The present system, he related, has become entirely inadequate and never has been satisfactory so far as pressure for fire-fighting is concerned. The water system also will be built by CCC enrollees. Foreman will be Russell Brown. The gasoline and oil hous will also be constructed in the ranger station service area. It will be like the new- warehouse in style. Gasoline and oil, for servicing forest service auto motive equipment, will be stor ed underground, the new build ing being intended to provide the safest kind of storage for gasoline and oil, Mr. Janouch explained. The present gaso line and oil building will be ENVOY TO VATICAN UNDERGOES KNIFE Rome, June 26. (P) Myron C. Taylor, President Roosevelt's representative at the Vatican, underwent an operation today which lasted two hours. His con dition was described as satisfac tory. The operation was performed by Dr. Allan O. Whipple, New York surgeon, assisted by Prof. Raffaele Bastianelli, one of Italy's most famous surgeons. Mrs. Taylor was at the hos pital. The envoy became' seriously ill while in Florence and was brought to Rome two days ago to Prof. Bastianclli's private clinic. Dr. Whipple and Mrs. Taylor came to Italy from the United States by air.
