The second successful showing of SPRING SWING ended last night with the final curtain being covered with a "Vote P.S.L.G." sign. and are the Pachacamac cusin'! Anyway there were at least six SPRING SWING curtain calls and four P.M. curtains as well, and applause lasted until the sign came into view and then the "BOO" and handclaps. "Anyway twas fun."

But the bridge game between Fen Durand, Howard Gilpin, Dick Blanchard, and George Murphy went right on. That is set for another round. With Katherine Holmes making up their faces in between bids.

Draft Act Suggested
Washington, April 6- (UP)-Assistant Secretary of War Louis Johnson, in a radio address shortly after the senate had approved a record peacetime army appropriation, tonight warned that both North and South America are endangered by the "coveted hands" of nations "which believe in the doctrine of force."
War Department Official Says Plan Would Warn 'Covetous Nations'
Speaking on the twenty-first anniversary of the United States' entrance into the World War, he urged immediate enactment of a selective service law to enable speedy mobilization of America's manpower, on the world that the United States is prepared for any eventuality.
The senate approved by voice vote the $491,000,000 army appropriation bill, bringing total national defense expenditure for 1939 to a record peacemaking high of well over one billion dollars.
With the trump of thousands of soldiers' feet and the rumble of steel war machines echoing under the capitol dome as the army marched in an Army Day parade, the senate placed its final approval on a measure to aid the United States in the world race for armed supremacy.
Johnson said the United States must be prepared on a moment's notice to cope with the "piratical desires" of aggressive powers, declaring that enactment of a selective serendipity would prevent a reaction. Such a proposal would "reduce materially, if not eliminate wholly, the chance of war," he said.
