who refused to jump from planes in
a training exercise at Fort Bragg, N.
C., last month, it was dicslosed to-
day.
The men were transferred to other,
army units. Approximately 1300 of
them were said to have had almost
enough points to assure early release
from service.

ed, however, on Feb. 16 with the
Mexican secretary of war a specta-
tor. Some 700 paracitutists took part.

Why the men refusec to jump was
not specifically stated, but officials
assumed that with the war months
past the men did not care to face
the hazards involved in stepping out
of a speeding plane and drifting to
the ground.

Hearings On
Seaway End
St. Lawrence Project
Gets Final Testimony
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 9-Senate
hearings on legislation to authorize
the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power
Project ended today after three weeks
of conflicting testimony.
R. C. Allen, president of a large
mining company, said in a statement
submitted to a Senate foreign rela-
tions submitted to a Senate foreign
relations subcommittee than con-
struction of the seaway would delay
development of an industry producing
iron from low-grade ore.
The "time is not far away" when
such production will begin to supple-
ment the supply of natural ore now
nearing exhaustion, Allen said.
Ton J. McGrath, director of the
National St. Lawrence Project Con-
ference, which opposes the develop-
ment, urged that "the whole and ex-
clusive rights" to develop the power
phase of the seaway be vested in the
federal government.
Under present arrangements, the
seaway's power facilities would be
turned over to New York State for
disposal of the energy.

Hall Proposed
Washington, March 9-(AP)-Plans
for a national auditorium, proposed

World Wars, will be discussed at a

zation representatives April 2.
Legislation providing such a mem-
orial to be located in the District of
Columbia has been introduced in
Congress by Senator Pepper (Dem.,
Fla.,) and Rep. Randolph Dem. It
would contain an auditorium seating
a minimum of 6,000 persons, with
smaller halls for lesser audiences. I
