[By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Methods of
reaching aliens under the draft were
debated briefly to-day in the Senate
When Senator McCumber called up
his resolution authorizing negotiations
with the allies to legalize drafting of
their nationals. Senator Chamberlain
sought unsuccessfully to attach a pro-
vision for proceeding with alien draft
ing at once. insisting that "if some
thing is not done we are going to
have trouble between the American
youths and aliens"
Senator's Stone and Lodge read pre-
cedents to show Congress could not
legally draft aliens without special
negotiations. Senator Cummins con-
Cured. in part. with that view, but
Senator Pittman insisted such compul-
sion would be morally right. any way,
and Senator Lewis said he considered
1t clear that the aliens should be COM
PEELED to fight here or at home
The debate was ended for the time
being for previous agreement. but
Senator Stone gave notice he would
call up the McCumber resolution again
soon.
