(q)(9)C (Q)(Q) lm 'rep; A WlsVUBsl Men's Neckties Mechanics, Pilots To Be 3Iade Ready For Nation's New Planes WASHINGTON, March 9 (JP) Administration plans are complete, authoritative sources said today, to train additional aviation mechanics to build and service the thousands of new warplanes provided in the defense program. The army expansion bill voted by the senate and house contains sufficient authorization to go ahead with the instructions as soon as the president signs it. Supplementing proposals to train some 20,000 pilots annually in selected colleges, the mechanics program has been delayed largely because a half dozen government agencies besides the army and navy were involved. Details were witheld, but well-informed administration and congressional sources reported these considerations were governing: 1. Far more mechanics than piolts will be required in expanding the army air corps to 5,500 or 6,000 planes, and building up the navy's force to 3,000 aircraft.

Both senate and house have authorized an increase of 25,000 enlisted men in the army air corps alone. Plane construction in the next two years will require doubling or tripling the 27,000 skilled workers now employed in plane factories, it was estimated by Maj. Gen. Harry H. Arnold, army air corps chief.

2. Either directly or through scholarships, the army, navy, National Youth Administration and the interior department's office of education among other federal agencies now train mechanics. A recommendation to the president calls for merging their activity under a single official. 3. A large proportion of the newly-trained mechanics is expected to be absorbed into private industry.

Arnold told a house committee the army believed it would be able to get all the enlisted mechanics needed in the next two years from Chanute Field, Illinois, and a new school at Denver. 4. Training to be provided by the Youth Administration is expected to be of a preliminary, general nature. Exisiting commercial schools will be aided by federal payments of tuition for certain students. FDR'S DINNER IS CANCELLED AFTER STRIKE IS BEGUN WASHINGTON, March 9 (JP) The capital's hotel strike resulted today in cancellation of the annual dinner given President Roosevelt by.

Nazi Jokes Are Simply Terrific, The Nazis Think Good Taste, Originality Hardly Overflow In Prize Quips BERLIN, March 9 (JP) This joke won $40 today as th-a best submitted in Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels' month-long contest to prove there is humor in Nazi Germany: "I won't perform in this costume," says a scantily-clad girl wearing a pre-war army helmet and saber to a paunchy male who is scratching his head in astonishment. "Why not," the man asks. "Does one see too "Rubbish, you old fool," the girl replies, "too little!" Five prizes of $40 to $4 were offered for the best jokes. Dr.

Goebbels' newspaper Der Angriff published only the work of the winner, a humble construction worker who illustrated his three jokes with his own handiwork. Some Nazi readers called the results "healthy eroticism." Dr. Goebbels started the contest Feb. 4 when he expelled five cabaret artists from the reich's culture chamber meaning that they might no longer follow their profession in Nazi Germany for quips about the national socialist regime. Goebbels declared that "Nazidom will not be derided." But the contest was started because of apparent fears that the action against entertainers might give the impression that there is no humor in Germany.

A second winning cartoon published today showed a woman wearing only a blouse. A little dog stands between her and a high-collared, bearded, bespectacled man. She: "Why. you haven't seen my new dress! I bought it on the installment plan." He: "I suppose you're wearing the first installment." The third cartoon shows the legs of a number of women passersby. In the foreground is a fat pug dog who accosts a lean, long Dachshund.

"Good gracious! the fat pug. "You've certainly The emaciated "sausage dog" replies: "Three weeks ago I was sold to a vegetarian." Der Angrif promised in later editions to publish further evidences of modern German humor, thousands xt manifestations of which, the paper said, were received during the competition. It remarked that, 'Joy in robust fun seems widespread." Mrs.C.LMcFarlin Will Be Buried At Medina Friday Well Known Woman of That Section Died Today At Memphis Hospital Mrs. G. L.
