Fighting over the ratification or re-

The fight in the House did not
openly crop out on the floor of that

bin, extending the seIective service
act to all men between the ages OF

the President to call such persons
into military service, ''in such Sc
quence of ages and at such times''
as he may prescribe, was introduced

tary committees. Congressional lead
ers plan to have the measure CON
sidered soon after the summer re-
cess period is over the later part of

in a brief statement its purposes and
said that everything would be done
to expedite its passage. While SEN

opposition, they hope that it will be
finally passed by September /.

few weeks was proposed by General
Crowder as the only means of OBJ
tanning the 200, 900 men to be called

could be done by presidential procla-
nation and would add about $4,000
to the number OF men available.

mite plan for US to dispose Of these
