Reject Suggestion n That All
Voting For War Be Drafted
Into Military Service

WASHINGTON, April s. tUp =
The house late today wrote 100
per cent excess profits tax into
the McSwain war bill and then
adjourned without finally enacting
the measure.
Leaders had expected to pass the
measure today, but changed their
minds and decided to have a roll
call vote on passage as the first
order of business convening Mon
day.
The tax provision was inserted
in a surprise move by Rep. John
j. McSwain (Dem.), South Caro-
lima, author of the bill. 1t was ac-
cepted by the house despite the
fact that an objection from one
member would have resulted in q
ruling that the amendment was
not in order. Under house rules, all
tax legislation must originate with
the ways and means committee.
An effort was made to complete
action on the bill today. but a
motion to adjourn by acting Ma
jority Floor Leader Edward C.
Taylor Dem), Colorado, won, 128
to 43.
Imposition of the tax and adj
journment climaxed one of the
stormiest sessions in the house.
Criticism was levelled at the bill
from all sides, mostly because of
the lack of an excess profits tax
Perfecting amendments were Of
fered wholesale, and many accept
ed.
McSwain said adjournment was
under an agreement with members
who had to leave early to attend
to other business, but who wanted
to be present when the bill finally
was passed. He added that the bill
was satisfactory to him as it stands
and that he would not attempt to
force any roll call votes on any
amendments.
The amendment raising the con-
scription age to As was the subject
of long and bitter debate. Oppon-
ents contended any action laying
down a permanent conScrlptiOn
policy would fan European war
talk and would be construed abroad
as meaning this country was pre-
pairing for conflict.
Rep. Harry Sauthoff (Progo.
Wisconsin offered an amendment
to force all members of congress
who voted for war to eb drafted
into military service. 1t was ruled
out of order.
An amendment offered by Rep.
Maurt Maverick Oem), Texas,
which would have exempted news
papers, press associations and news
gathering agencies" from proV-
sions calling for licensing of all
industry in war time, was rejected
81 to SIS.
The house, taking things into its
own hands, virtually rewlote many
sections of the bill
An attempt to eliminate the pro-
vision authorizing the President to
conscript manpower for the fight
ing forces was defeated, 108 to SO.

BOSTON STARS TO MEET NAUCATUCK
 IN R. l. TOURNEY
VOIleyball Squads Ready to Put on Real
 Show
Especial to The DeTnocratl

Naugatuck, Feb b---The Nauga- tuck "Y" volley ball team has drawn what is probably the strong est team in the tournament 1t will participate in next Saturday in Providence, R. I. This si the Bos. ton team.
 Edgar Wyatt, manager of the To- calls, has received word of the draw. Providence has drawn a bye in the first round. It will be a sev- en team tourney. Winners will play in one bracket and losers in another.
 The winner in the winners bracket will meet the victor in the losers section in the finals. It Is expected matches will be the best two out of three games.
 Teams competing will include Providence, R. l., Wakefield, Mass, Boston, Mass, Hartford, Conn, South Manchester, Conn, Somers- vile, Mass and Naugatuck. Uncertain
 Some fine games are expected. The locals chances appear dimin- ished although little is known of the Boston combine. However 1t is likely the Hub will be represented by strong team. If the Naugatuck team shouldhave met them in the second match, when the locals had chance to get warmed up, they would probably have more chance of winning. However Naugatuck is represented by strong team and should prove no easy opponent for any team there. It has beaten Hartford and South Manchester this season.
