Single Depariment Of National Defense Proposed by Clark Bill to Ask Merger of Army and Navy; Cabinet Shake-up Reports Persist By G. GOULD LINCOLN. ‘While reports continued to spread yesterday that there will be shake- ups in the cabinet, with the War and Navy portfolios especially in- volved, Senator Clark, Democrat, of Missouri prepared to introduce a bill to merge both these depart- ments in a single Department of Na- tional Defense. The Missouri Senator said such a move was necessary in the insterest of better co-ordination. His bill will provide for three “undersecretaries,” one of the Army, another of the Navy and a third of the air forces. “If there is no combination of the ‘War and Navy Departments,” said Senator Clark, “there should be es- tablished a new department, that of aviation, with the Army and Navy air forces included in the new de- partment.” As for the cabinet shifts, it was insisted that before long efforts will be made to dislodge Secretary of ‘War Woodring. Secretary of the Navy Edison, who has been nomi- nated for Governor by the Demo- crats in New Jersey, ha$ already an- nounced he will resign within 30 days. It seems entirely clear that he would not be able to continue to work at his cabinet office and cam- paign for election as Governor. Woodring Not Planning to Quit. Secretary Woodring, whose scalp has been sought by the so—cn_lled New Deal inner circle for some time, has no present intention of step- ping out of the War Department. If he goes it will be because he is asked to go. President Roosevelt has recently been given an oppor- tunity to suggest to Mr. Woodring that he retire from the cabinet. But the President has made no such suggestion. Until the President himself speaks, Mr. Woodring will go right ahead working long hours over the national defense program. There has been no disposition on Capitol Hill to criticize Secretary ‘Woodring. House and Senate have come to the defense of both Secretary ‘Woodring and the general staff. Congress | mbers realize the Army is far :)nefiow national defense needs. They realize, also, that present adminis- tration has done little for the Army as compared to what has been done for the Navy, and that the money appropriated for the Army has nof been sufficient to create the force which is now contemplated. The idea of taking two or more Republicans into the Presxdent_s cabinet has gone overboard. It is true that no vacancies existed in 1s the cabinet, and that any proposals | the President may have made to | Col. Frank Knox,-Chicago publisher and Republican vice presidential | candidate in 1936, in regard to the office of Secretary of the Nayy or oot d Secretary of War, were tentative and | o op Foivad in the establish- | ment after the shades had been | dependent on a vacancy. - There are at present in the cabi- net two former Republicans, Secre= tary of Agriculture Wallace and | Secretary of the Interior Ickes, Po- litical ties rested rather lightly on the shoulders of several other mem- bers of the cabinet until they joined the “New Deal,” among them Secre- taries Hopkins, Perkins, Edison and Morgenthau. The cabinet contains four active, full-time Democrats— Secretary of State Hull, Secretary | of War Woodring, Attorney General | Jackson and Postmaster General Farley. La Guardia Boomed for Post. Coupled with the reports that Mr. Woodring is to be eased out of office is the prophecy that Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New York is to be picked for Secretary of War, The supporters of the La Guardia boom say he will be able to dramatize the defense program, that he is a perfect dynamo of energy, and he would do a good job. Mr. La Guardia can- not be considered a Republican by the wildest stretch of the imagina- tion, although he at one time was elected to the House with & Repub- lican nomination and more recently had the backing of the Republicans in New York for mayor. He is an out-and-out New Dealer, and has become 2 member of the American Labor party. While the New Dealers would like to have Mr. La Guardia in the cabinet, they realize he will be a strong ally in New York in the No- vember elections, if he remains as Mayor. They may need him there, At present five members of the cabinet hail from New York—and if La Guardia were named Secretary of War there would be six New Yorkers in the Presidents official family out of a total of 10. Secre- taries Morgenthau, Hopkins and Perkins were appointed from New York, and so were Attorney General Jackson and Postmaster General Farley. Of the other four, Secretary Edison is from New Jersey, Secre- tary Hull from Tennessee, Secretary Woodring from Kansas and Secre- tary Ickes from Illinois. There is talk, also, of Mr. La Guardia as a vice presidential nom- inee. in the event President Roose- velt himself does not run. The New York Mayor has never run as a Democratic nominee—although he has had Republican and Socialist nominations, and that of the Amer- ican Labor party. Considerable Friction. At one time there was expectation vhat Assistant Secretary of War eouis Johnson would be promoted to be Secretary of War. Indeed, in some quarters it was said the job had been promised to Mr. Johnson. Because of this situation, there has been considerable friction in the ‘War Department. Now it is said that if a change is made the prob- abilities are both Mr. Woodring and Mr. Johnson will go. So far, ¥ is by no means certain that these changes will be made, despite the rumors. Senator Clark, discussing his pro- posal to bring about a unification of the national defense agencies of the Government, pointed out that frequently there is a conflict over the tasks of the two present de- partments, War and Navy. He mentioned the problem of the coast defenses, in this connection, with the Army having control of the coast defense guns. He believes that much more stress must be placed on aviation in na- tional defense and that the way to get the best results is to co-ordinate the present aviation forces of the Army and the Navy, Indeed, members of the | 5 Man Robbed of $500 He Kept fo Bring Mother fo U. S. Barber Shop Owner Also Forced to Yield More Cash and Watch To the list of American victims of the European war add Julius Vitiello, 36-year-old barber shop proprietor at 2512 Fourteenth street N.W., and the $500 he was holding to bring his mother to this country from Italy. Mr. Vitiello was robbed of this $500 and an additional $169 and a wrist watch last night when a col- ored holdup man entered his shop at closing time. But Mr. Vitiello didn’t blame the $169 loss on the war: “I might have had that any- way,” he said. The $500 loss, though, he feels is directly due to the uncer- tainties of the war. For four or five years he planned to bring his mother from Naples to Washington. Last Monday he was advised by American consular au- thorities that all passport arrange- | ments had been made, but that ocean liners sailing from Italy were | being held up because of the pos- | sibility that Italy might enter the | war, Kept $500 in Pocketbook. “They told me they would let me iknow when a sailing was possible,” explained Mr. Vitiello. “I didn't know whether I'd have to cable the $500 in my pocketbook.” Mr. Vitiello's $669 was taken, register and $21 from another bar- ber, Jack Gordon, 45, of 2520 Four- teenth street N.W., by the colored drawn but before the door was locked. The man first asked of the shop needed any shoe polisher or a helper. As Mr. Vitiello replied that he did not need any additional employes at this time, he said the intruder pulled out a pistol and |said: “Hands up!” Slammed Door Shut. “He slammed the front door shut,” Mr. Vitiello said, “and forced Mr. Gordon and myself to the rear of the shop. He took the money from ‘the cash register first and then took what money we had and my watch. As he went out the back door T saw another colored man standing in the alleyway a few feet from the "door, Apparently, he was the lookout.” Mr. Vitiello said his mother, Mrs. Raffaela Vitiello, 68, lived in the United States from 1901 to 1809, and that he was born in Washington in August, 1903. The family return- ed to Italy in 1909, but all except Mrs. Vitiello and a younger son came back to the United States in the late 1920s, he declared. “If I get a cable saying they have passage for my mother and for me to send the $500, I don’t know just what T'll do,” he sald. “But I'll get my mother over here somehow. We'll raise the money.” By “we” he meant his father, brother and two sisters and in-laws, most of whom, he said, helped raise the $500. |Quake Felt in Oregon TOLEDO, Oreg., May 25 (P).— A 10-second earthquake rattled dishes and windows at 8:02 am.

Austin to Speak on Forum Vermont Senator Addresses U. S. Tomorrow Night on War Topic The ranking Republican member . [ of the Senate Military Affairs Com- mittee, Senator Warren R. Austin of Vermont—who had proposed broad power for President Roosevelt to set up a non-partisan board of pro- duction managers to speed Ameri- can defense preparations—will de- liver tomorrow night a coast-to- coast broadcast on “Munitions, Men and Morale.” He will speak at 10:30 o'clock on | the National Radio Forum, ar- ranged by The Star in co-opera- tion with the National Broadcasting Co. He is to be heard locally over Station WMAL. A member of the Military Affairs Committee since his election in 1931, the Vermont Senator has done his thinking on international mat- ters with little regard to party poli- tics. Last year he spoke on the forum as an opposition supporter of President Roosevelt’s plan for repeal of the army embargo. In that early analysis he discussed the possibility of “Germany con- quering England and France, ob- taining control of their navies and investing Canada and nearby islands.” Senator Austin has had his own training as a diplomat—being at one time counsel for Vermont in & boundary line dispute between his State and New Hampshire.

Col. Davis Advocates | Defense Department And Civil Air Reserve Head of Public Affairs Academy Urges Plane Orders on Huge Scale Declaring the salvation of man- kind may depend on the national policy adopted by the United States within the next few weeks, Col. W. Jefferson Davis, member of the sf of the World War director of mili- tary aeronautics and president of the American Academy of Public Affairs, today advocated creation of a separate department of national defense to co-ordinate all defense activities; the creation of a civil air reserve and immediate and vigorous suppression of all subversive activi- ties. Now engaged in the practice of aviation law in Los Angeles, Col. Davis is in Washington to attend the President’s aviation conference, which will begin at the Treasury Department tomorrow, and to launch a civil air reserve program in 40 States. During the World War Col. Davis was legal ddviser on the staff of Brig. Gen. William L. Kenly, di- rector of military aeronautics. Dur- ing the period of Allled occupation of Germany he was sent to Europe by the late Brig. Gen. William Mitchell to make a survey of legal phases of military and civil aero- nautics and for a time was attached to the United States Embassy in Berlin as War Department legal ad- viser. Isolation Declared Ended. United States isolation is at an end because, by the growth of our power, we have become a determin- ing factor in the world, Col. Davis said. A realization has come to American people “that our country is in danger; our democratic insti- tutions, our very theory of repre- sentative government are imperiled from without by the assaults of au- | tocracy, and perhaps in the near fu- ture by actual invasion,” he added. | The country also faces grave dan- ders, he declared. Immediate expansion of aircraft production, necessitating expansion of plant facilities, can come only from immediate airplane orders on | the largest possible scale, he said. One of the sections of the Acad- emy of Public Affairs, Col. Davis explained, is an air defense reserve composed of pilot-members owning their own airplanes, who are ready .| capacity. This is a civilian air re- serve, not to be confused with the Army or Navy Oragnized Reserve, Col. Davis explained, and is in- tended to supplement the Nation's | defense program. Co-operation Program. ‘The academy also is undertaking a program of co-operation with the Federal Government in all States against the fifth column movement. He advocated outlawing the Com- munist partv in America as a first 1 6tep in national defense and the weeding out of all Fascist and other subversive activities. Col. Davis advocates the creation of a department of national de- fense under a secretary of national defense, who would be a member of the cabinet, with Undersecre- taries for War, Navy and Air. The work of these three branches should be co-ordinated by a staff charged | specifically with assisting in formu- lation of a policy of national defense and the carrying out of such a pol- icy, he explained. Hit-Run Car Injures {Man in Safety Zone Struck by an automobile while standing in a safety zone in Mount Rainier, Md., George Yates, 21, of 2608 Monroe street N.E., was taken to Casualty Hospital with a com- pound fracture of the right leg last night. Police broadcast a radio look- out for a hit-and-run car operated by a woman driver. Six persons escaped with minor hurts in a headon collision of two automobiles at Defense highway and Landover road, in Bladensburg, Md. The injured, taken to Casualty Hos- pital by the Bladensburg Rescue Squad, were: August Arnold, 48, Landover, Md.; Leroy Arnold, 10, Landover; Odessa Weaver, 22, Berwyn, Md.; Ida Frost, 21, Berwyn; Chester Moreland, 23, Vienna, Va.; Paul Deck, 27, Berwyn.

The Gwin, whose keel was lald early in 1939, will mount five 5-inch guns and, in addition, will carry lighter armament and 10 torpedo tubes. She is designed to develop a speed of 36 knots. Her sponsor at the christening exercises was Mrs. Jessie T. Lippin- cott of Cincinnati, Ohio, acting in place of her mother, Mrs. Willlam M. Williams, a relative of Lt. Comdr. William Gwin, Civil War naval hero for whom the destroyer is named. Mrs. Willlams’ {liness prevented her from attending. Comdr.

Presbyterians Vofe To Probe Church’s Pension Sefup Committee of Five Authorized to Examine Entire Problem By the Associated Press. ROCHESTER, N.
