Portland by airline and EiiKenc Is 115 miles north of Medford. The petition states that Snlem and Eugene are directly on United's coast course and that the company is prepared to start service Just as soon as authority is given by the civil aeronautics authority, Mr. Henne said. If the application Is ap proved, both cities will be pro vided with service with the lat est type of twin-engined trans ports, he related, though it was not disclosed whether the com pany meant 21-pa.ssenger Doug las Mainliners or 10-passenger Boeings.

"Are we going to give the national guarn some honesl-to- God training?" a reporter want ed to know. Mr. Roosevelt offered no opin ion on that, but said he was going to discuss it also with Stimson, General Marshall testified that he believed that at the start of any training program, the guard, with its 230,000 men available on first mobilization, should be called up first. Asked subsequently whether he desired to "mobilize the na tional guard immediately," he replied affirmatively. His questioner. Senator Hill (D., Ala.), suggested that it would be a matter of "justice to men in the guard" to call them up for training. Present Training Wasteful "I think It would be most unfair for them to be confront ed with the possibility of being thrown hurriedly into service without an opportunity to pre pare themselves," Marshall com mented. Explaining the guard would muster 230,000 men on first mo bilization, Marshall said the pending legislation would bring its strength to a total "Just short of 400,000." Marshall told the committee that the present method of training guardsmen a few hours each week was "wasteful and long-drawn out." ."I must express myself very carefully here," the general said slowly, "but there are a num ber of aspects of the regular army that are wasteful at the present time that we cannot cor rect." Senator Holman (R., Ore.) asked Marshall If he might not prefer to hold a private session of the committee because much of the information he was sub mitting "should be retained solely for the benefit of our own government and our own people." "I believe all this Is a matter of great public concern and has to be settled in public," was the general's reply. "The main thing is for the people to un derstand the situation." 145 CCC BOYS TO WILLIAMS CREEK One hundred forty-five CCC replacements for Camp Williams Creek were to arrive in Grants Pass by special train late this afternoon. The train was to pass through Medford. Another train bringing CCC replacements from the east and! south is scheduled to arrive here tomorrow. It will bring 195 en rollees, all for Camp South Fork. Joseph W.' Scobey, who cam manded a CCC train to and from the south, returned this after noon to Medford headquarters where he is a staff officer. He came from Lakeview by motor car.
