Garzoli at gun-point several

SALEM, EUGENE
Formal Petition Filed With
C.A.A. Both Towns to
Provide Adequate Fields
United Air Lines has formal
ly petitioned the civil aero
nautics authority for permlrsion
to include Salem and Eugene
on regular stops on the com
pany's west coast route, it was
announced today by Max C.
Henne, Medford manager.
Only United stops on the
west coast route north of here
now are at Portland, Seattle.
Wash., and Vancouver, B. C.
Salem Is 47 miles south o!
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.
Salam Ready
The Salem airport is now
ready for use and the company
has been inlormcd that Eugene
proposes to provide an airport
adequate for 12 ton pianos if it
is designated as a stop on the
United route, Mr. Henne said.
Eugene, It was learned from
another soutre, a' ready has tak
en steps to procure a modern
airport capable of accommodat
ing the largest aircraft.
Soma time ago the civil aero
nautics authority turned down
for the time being at least an
application from United Air
Lines for the establishment of
a shuttle line between Medford
and Klamath Falls. The author
ity's attitude was that the
Klamath Fjlls airport facilities
were not adequate.

with Secretary of War Stimson
to explore the desirability of
mobilizing the national guard.
"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
