General Marshall Urges
Regular Army of 400,000
Washington.—A regular army of
400,000 men was recommended by
General George C. Marshall, chief of
staff, who proposed that recruiting
of 120,000 additional troops be au
thorized.
A standing army of this size, he
said, was the alternative to granting
President Roosevelt’s request for
power to mobilize the National
Guard in an emergency during th*
absence of congress.
Unless the army is expanded or
the mobilization authority is dele
gated to the President, Marshall
said, the general staff w’ould be
handicapped in planning quick ac
tion in the face of any western
hemisphere threat to American se
curity.

shown by this drawing by Otto Kuhler, New York designing engineer. The rounded armored surfaces give
maximum resistance to direct hits and deflect striking power. The whalcback fighting ship would present an ul

Vegetables Being
Harmed By Mexican
Beetles In State
Mexican bean beetle is be
ginning to cause damage to pole
beans and other vegetables in Geor
gia.
Appearance of the Mexican bean
beetle is easy to detect, since it
causes a lacy-like condition on
leaves where it feeds. Adult beetles
are a bronze to brown color with 16
spots on their backs. The larvae
are bright orange-yellow with short
spiney proturbances on their backs.
Dusting or spraying with a com
pound containing rotenone as thg
active ingredient is best for control
of this insect.
Farmers having damages on their
vegetable plantings from this or
other insects, can secure identifi
cation and control recommendations
by sending insects and sample of
the damaged plant material to the
Extension plant pathologist, Tifton,
Ga.
