WANT YOUTHS IN
SEPARATE CLASSES
IN NEW DRAFT BILL
HOUSE ADDS THIS AMEND
MENT TO MAN-POWER
MEASURE.

Washington, Aug. 2l.-A favora-
Bile report was voted by the house
military committee today on the adj
ministration man-power bill with an
amendment providing that youths
from IS to 20 years of age shall be
placed in separate classifications to
be called into military service after
men from 20 to As.
Another amendment by Chair
man Dent provides that the face that
soldier has not reached q shall
not bar him from a commission.
A section added at the request of
the war department provides that
when of draft age may be sent to col
leges for technical training in uni
form, without changing their mill
tary status.
No vote was taken in the commit
tee on the work -or-fight amendment,
objected to by organized labor,
which was added to the bill as re-
ported to the senate. The amend
ment is certain to figure in house
debate, however.
Chairman Dent presented his re-
port Immediately after the house
convened and obtained unanimous
consent to have it taken up tomor-
row with right of way over all other
other business. He thinks it can be
passed by Friday.
Representative Kahn, ranking Re-
publican member of the committee,
will lead fight on the floor against
the amendment directing separate
classification of younger registrants,
contending that the war department
should be left to work out this ques-
tion according to its program.
Consideration of the bill also will
begin tomorrow in the senate. Con-
gressional leaders on both sides say
it will require only a few days to pass
the measure, adjust any differences
between the two houses and send it
to the president.

RIGHT TO WHIP WIFE

court this morning that he had a
right to whip his wife, but the court
did not take that view of it and he
was fined $40 and 81 costs. His wife
and two other young women were
witnesses in the case and testified
that when they came home from a
park about midnight Twyford
slapped his wife, and, as one of the
witnesses testified, grabbed her by
the arm and started up the street
with her. striking her as they went
along. He demanded of the court
TO know if he did not have a right
to slap his wife and correct her, who
did? He declared she was his wife
and he had right to slap her. He
said he did not hurt her much, just
slapped her because she would stay
out late at night. She said he struck
her so hard that she suffered from
a headache all night.
