Sen. 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."

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
