[eontiRtWhrtrl J E wltHrt8o.f 1 CONGRESSIONAL RECE88 I WanhinKton, Oct. 18.?Congress has! com plot eel all necessary work of this year but in view of the tense International situation it has not been consld-1 hi?mI wIho to adjourn at present or to, recess for any length of time. Denio-j cratlc ami Hepublican lenders there-1 fore agreed on Monday, October 14, to recess for running periods of three' days at a time until the General Flection. The coming electon is the tenter of attraction now. While there is no real contest in many rock-rihbed Democratic Southern States and some equally rock-ribbed Republican New England States, in other states the Issue ah always is In doubt. Many members from the doubtful state* have left' hurriedly to look after political fences.' It can be well undersUAnl that these fences need looking after when it Is noted that Congress has been in continuous Session slnoe January, 1938. excepting about two months. All members are actually Washington weary and want to get home for at least a short time before the long 1941 grind which begins on January 3rd, next. The war situation. part4cularly the Germany-Italy-Japan tie-up, has Washington worried. Pew venture to predict international happenings to come In the next few months. Congress wants peace, but to preserve peace ninety-five per cent of the membership agree that we must be prepared and ready. International idealism and respect for the viewpoint of others is a thing of the past. Only power and arms speak with a voice that can be heard. No additional units of the National Guard will be inducted into the Federal service prior to January 3, 1941, the war department reitereated yesterday. Dates selected thereafter are contingent upon presidential approval | and the availability of shelter and utilities. There has been no change, It was added, in the 15 National Guard units making up the third and fourth lucre-j ments of the Guard that are to be or-1 dered into the Federal service. These | units were anopunced last month. The third increment, consisting of j the 56th Calvary Brigade of 1,377 offi- j' cers and enlisted men. will be induct-1 ed November 18 in Texas. The fourth j increment, consisting of 14 widely ! scattered Guard units, is scheduled for induction on November 25. The fourth : consists of 34,565 officers and enlisted men. This $25,000,00(1 project, strategic-) ally located near the St. Johns River!1 mouth, near Jacksonville. Florida, is the first major naval tAse to be eom-j missioned under the new defense pro-i cram. After the brief traditional; Navy ceremonies on October 15 the station will go into operation. Within two months flight cadets will begin to arrive for training. This base was started less than a! year ago and will be used both for' training and for operations, but train-J, ing will be its main objective until j naval flying personnel is consderablyj increased. Eight hundred cadets; eventually will be in training therel and about 200 will graduate each,, month. It. also, will be used as a garage to service all naval planes from stations many hundreds of miles distant. Me- 1 ohanlcs will be trained there?3,000 at a Lime?to be used in keeping the! Navy's planes ready all over the 1 world. Thirty buildings have already j1 been erected for this giant trade' school project, to occupy a portion of the 3.260-acre reservation. < This base, designed to become the hub of the Navy'e jflr striking power from the Panama Canal to Newfoundland, will have several auxiliary fields]' and some 17 practice landing fledds in ' t.his area for the use of flying cadets.

KEEN EYES OF REPORTER ENDS 20-YEAR MAN HUNT San Bernardino, Calif,?The keene? of Robert StandIsh, 24-year-old reporter on the San Bernardino Sun-Telegram, resulted In the closing tills week of a 20-year manhunt by postal service agents. Standlsh's tip put the agents on the trail of FLoyd Woodward, 54, accused as the slayer of a gambler and as a participant In a $150,000 mall fraud in Atlanta, Ga., 20 years ago. He had been sought by postal agents longer than any other man. Young Standish, who is the son of Milton R. Standish, business manager of the Sun and Telegram, makes a hobby of studying the "wanted" flies in the San Bernardino police department and post office. About six months ago at a nearby mountain resort he stopped to make inquiries about renting a cabin for the summer. The man who answered the door looked familiar. When he returned to San Bernardino he identified him as Woodward, and informed postal authorities. Woodward had changed his name and was respected in social and business ciixdes in San Bernardino and Monrovia as Thomas C. Thomas, a "retired hotel owner;" His wife taught Sunday school in San Bernardino, and his six-year-old daughter attended school there. Unearths Ancient Shell Columbus.
