cal draft boards will classify the

In deferred groups those with de-
pendents or working in vital in
dustries, in order to obtain the re-
quired number of trainees with
minimum of hardship or economic
dislocation.
A basic feature of the Armys
training plan is to mobilize the
National Guard, so that the Sc
lective service men can be placed
in units of both the Guard and
Regular Army. Authority to call
out the Guard is to be handled By
separate legislation, however. and
congressional leaders are await
ing recommendation from the
administration as to the details
of that measure.
Assuming that authority is OBJ
tanned to mobilize the Guard by
October l the present plan of Of
flcials is to induct between 300 ,OOO
and 100000 selective service men
that month, but this schedule
hinges on how long Congress de-
bates the compulsory training legis-
lation.
BY October l the Regular Army
is expected to be up to 100000
and the National Guard to 100000.
If by that time it is possible to
induct 100000 selective service men,
the Army would have $4,000 men
under intensive training during the
winter.
BY April the Regular Army is
expected to be recruited up to the
appropriation limit of 375, 1000 and
the National Guard to 100000. At
that time it is planned to call out
an additional 100000 trainees. The
total then under training would be
l,4l5000.
New Class in October, 194l.
BY October, l94l, a new class of
trainees would be called and the
first group going in this October
would complete their year of train
ing and return home in the capacity
of reservists.
One of the most important
changes the committee made in the
bill during the last few days was
to strengthen the section designed
to preserve, in SO far as possible,
the Jobs of men called for training
Discussing the conscription pro-
posal with reporters, Senator Taft
also declared opposition to any COM
pulsory training for girls. President
Roosevelt has suggested that uni
Versal training, not necessarily of
a combatant nature, might even
tually be advisable for all young
people, both men and women.
1T may be necessary some day to
have compulsory military training
for all boys" Senator Taft said,
but certainly not for girls"
He also said that any training
should be under Army direction
rather than under the direction of
Harry Hopkins and Sidney Hill
man.
Some of the present ideas sound
more like glorified W. P. A than
any real training with military
discipline.

STILL SMOULDERING

That's the battle to date and the controversy still is smolder- ing. What will come of the pro- posed legislation nobody at this date could even guess. Unless some greater emergency arises it won't come up until after the new congress convenes in January.
 The Smith bill provides max mum life imprisonment penalty for sabotage and forbids the clos ed ship in defense industries. On the strike situation it's keynote is I'm -diation' with a preliminary "cooling-off period of 30 days. The chief weapon of enforcement in this phase of the bill would be pubic opinion with in the event of no settlement through media tion or arbitration the Presi- dents issuing a statement pro- claiming the offending party.

OTHERS SPEAK OUT

Jddge Hatton w. Summers, chairman of the Judiciary Com mttee to which the Smith bill will go for report to the House, is about as quiet-tempered and dignified as Rep1i sentatives come but he startled his colleag- ues by declaring angrily that the country is afflicted with "a bunch of cutthroats" who are doing "a dastardly thing" and ''preaching force" and that they ought to be given a double dose of their own medicins."
 John Costello, whose bailiwik is Hollywood, suggested that the business looked to him like "an organized program - possibly a plot" Eugene Cox, of Georgia, shouted sabotage and treason able conduct" and Robert F.. Rich of Pennsylvania suggested a cure in Concentration camps '

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 - It isn't always true that even the noisiest congressional observers can smell a new law coming. The distance from the point where new legislation is introduced to the point where it is written on the statue books is no straight line and even if it were, it would be too great for mortal eyesight.
 But when bills directed at a single object begin to drop into the hopper like tickzr-tape on a New York hero and when speech es on the particular subject be- gin to sizzle into white heat. you can be pretty sure that Congress is blowing a note you are going to keep hearing.
 That is just what has been hap pening in the House of Represen tatives and the subject has been: Putting a stop to labor strikes in defense industries.
 Rep. Howard w. Smith, con- servative Virginia Democrat, chairman of the committee to in vestigate the National Labor Re lations Board and author of the NLRB amendments which passed the House tWo-to-Ons, is also the author of one of the new bills designed to eliminate strikes in defense industry.
 Mir Smith was one of the mild est to take the floor in the pres mt round of denunciation but speaking of recent strikes in the aluminium and airplane indus tries, he did get worked up enough to ask the House: Now, does it strike you as significant that this little handful of radical reds in these various key mat t-rs have been able to absolute ly stop the production of neces- sary and essential materials in two of the most important things this country has to deal With?"
 And he drew a generous round of applause when he concluded with: q just urge the Congress again to wake up and gst out of the class of Rip Van Wrinkle and let us do something about it.'

UNIFORMS SMACK OF WAR

An alternative in the case of the officers in civies, would be to put them back in uniform an or der which the War and Navy De partmentS hesitate to issue be- cause it always is cOnidered the final sign that peace is over and war is at hand. It has been done before and in each instance, Washington takes on a martial air which would be all out of proportion for a nation at peace.
 Although General Pershing is one of the most confirmed belieV CTS in the morale value of spic and span uniforms at the close of World War I, he over-rode his reluctance and waited no longer than necessary to order men sta ton d in Washington back into civieS.
 While officers in uniform are not difficult to identify, there's a pretty generous penitentiary sen tence waiting for men imperson ating an officer of the armed fore es. Tn mere unauthorized wear ing of a uniform is proof enough.
 Nevertheless military men sta toned here are not going back into uniform for the present. Like the civilian employees they Il report very morning at the Army and Navy beehives With their badges in place or get held up until they are properly identi fled.

formance of his duties"

Mrs. Edison, dressed in mink
coat, gave a similar greeting.
The Secretary was sworn in by
Rear Admiral Walter B. Woodson,
judge advocate general of the Navy.
The Bible used in the ceremony was
one which had performed similar
services "for the last 40 to so years, y
Admiral Woodson said.
The Secretary's desk was adorned
with a large basket of gladioi and
red roses. Before the flowers stood
a sign bearing, in large letters, the
word congratulations" Below was
written the names of the Secretary's
Office force, which sent the flowers.
Among those present were Secre-
tary of War Woodring, Admiral
Harold Stark, chief of naval opera
tions; Admiral w. D. Leahy, former
chief of naval operations and now
Governor of Puerto Rico, and heads
of all the bureaus and divisions at
the Navy Department.

Mr.. Edison, in his connection with

And we were so hungry we

Like her husband, Mrs. Edison
enjoys fishing. She once caught a
l04-pound tarpon in Florida, but it
was so big that she couldn't bear to
think she had killed it and it made
her cry.
She wouldn't let anybody else

planned, "and by the time she pulled
it in she was limp-more worn out

Happy Wife Sees Edison
Sworn In With Admiration
She Is Thrilled
To Pieces Ove.
Appointment
By BETH CAMPBELL,


The woman who shared wedding
breakfast of chocolate sodas with
Charles Edison in 1918 fairly bubbled
with happiness over his appointment
as Secretary of the Navy.
Naturally" she said today, I'm
thrilled to pieces"
Blue-eyed, auburn-haired Mrs.
Edison is not very big. but she has
enormous enthusiasm for her good
looking, 49-year-old husband.
She described her role at his
swearing-in ceremony today as
simple-"Just watching with great
admiration"
The admiration seems to be
mutual. Secretary Edison marvels
at her intricate needlepoint. He
praises her bridge, which she says is
"just congenial." And he likes
nothing better-not even deep sea
fishing-than to coax his wife into
telling stories.
Together they laugh over events
surrounding their wedding. The
bride was physicians daughter in
Cambridge, Mass, but the son of
Thomas A. Edison didn't meet her
until three weeks before he finished
at Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology.
He says he popped the question
right away, but she didn't say yes
until she visited his parents home
in Fort Myers, Fla, after graduation
They wanted a quiet wedding, but
it didn't stay secret long. Hunting
a marriage license, they got into
the telephone exchange Of a small
Florida town by mistake and then
