(AP) Sec. Woodring, it was learned today, has recommended a bond issue to finance a third set of Panama canal locks. He suggested the $200,000,000 project to congress as a part of the defense program, contending the bonds could be retired out of canal receipts. Woodring was reported to have told house and senate military committees that about $8,000,000 of the annual receipts of could be used for the bonds. The new locks, designed primarily for military use, would provide an alternate route across the isthmus in case of attack.

Woodring's testimony before the committee has been in closed session and no formal announce ment has been made of the canal proposal. Details of the project were not disclosed, but if previous plans are followed that the new locks would be from one to four miles from the existing ones. President Roosevelt recom mended in his defense message the expenditure of $27,000,000 to maintain an adequate peace garrison in the canal zone, but did not mention additional locks. The whole defense program entails an additional $525,000,000 over ordinary budget requirements. Some doubt was cast on the probability of immediate action on one controversial part of the armament program.

Mr. Roosevelt told his press conference yes terday that no appropriation has been asked for the fortification of Guam. The establishment of a base there was recommended by a navy board. The President asked i congress for $44,000,000 for naval bases "in agreement with the board's report. The Guam proposal has drawn critical comment in Japanese editorials and.

The huge CIO unit which claims a membership of nearly 400,000 prepared formal notice today calling locals to a special convention to decide, principally, the status of President Homer Martin. The convention, by declaration of the union's anti-Martin executive board yesterday, will open in Cleveland on March 20, continuing "until business is completed." Long-awaited as the "showdown" to test Martin's power, the convention will elect international officers and board members and make such constitutional changes as it "deems necessary." Martin, fought for months by board rivals who have branded him a "dictator," has invited the rank and file to say "whether want me president." The board gave no answer to Martin's recommendation for appointment of a six-man "impartial, non-factional" committee to name credentials and other committees. Since the board opened its current sessions last week, it has divested Martin of editorial supervision of the union's weekly newspaper and reinstated officers of a Detroit local suspended by him. Sources close to the board, which continued its meeting today, said it was expected to approve Martin's negotiations with the tFord Motor company.

Loans to counties under this measure would be deducted from state grants in the administration's contemplated long-range relief program, to be enacted later in the session.

was reported spending in excess or 12 per cent for administration and cut its staff considerably last year. Elimination of pre-audits was aimed at Auditor Joseph T. Ferguson, a Democrat, whose office was given almost complete control over relief expenditures by the previous legislature. Republicans said the system was too expensive and that Ferguson was using it to build up a political organization. Attaches of the auditor's office defended the method, however, as a means of reducing waste in relief distribution.

The administration's long-term relief program, expected to cover at least the next two years, has not been drafted but legislative leaders said it probably would provide $10,000,000 annually in state grants. Including equal matching by local communities, the program would raise S20.000.0OO a year although the auditor's office estimated state-wide needs for 1939 at S33.00O.OOO. Representative Harry McGregor, Coshocton), majority floor leader, said the permanent program would follow sustantial-ly the principles of the temporary measure as to matching, administration and distribution of state money on a basis of need.
