Scores CIamor
To Be Heard in
Draft Inquiry
StimsOn To Be Invited
For Testimony On
Peacetime Army

WASHINGTON, July 27.
(UP) The house military
affairs committee decided to-
day to invite Secretary of
War Henry l.. Stimson to
testify on the Burke Wadsworth
compulsory military training bill
He was expected to appear next
week.
The measure would require the
registration of approximately A.
100000 men between 18 and "a, in
elusive, for some form of military
or home defense training. If en-
acted, 100000 men would be drafted
for training by October
The committees decision indicat-
ed delay in house action on the
measure since original plans had
called for ending the hearings on
Tuesday. Chairman Andrew j. May,
D., KY, said that with scores and
scores" of witnesses clamoring to
be heard the committee had post
poned until Tuesday a decision on
how long the hearings would be
continued.
The senate military affairs COM
mittee had completed consideration
of its version of the measure but
delayed a final vote until Tuesday.

ees and exemptions but no change

conference with L. j. Foster chief
engineer in charge of the All Ameri-
can project, that the clay blanket
that for Is miles will protect Bard
valley from seepage is already in
place.
Drainage canals being dug by the
Reclamation Bureau at Bard are
also nearing completion, Foster told
Dowd. The Bard drainage problem,
which necessitated the clay lining,
was a stumbling block that has
hitherto delayed opening of the
canal.
Fall For Seasoning
Dowd indicated that the Reclama-
ton Bureau program calls for wa
ter flowing in the All American
by September at least and use of
the fall months for seasoning. The
program provides for power produc-
ton by Jan. at limited capacity
Because the All American will
not be used to capacity for some
months after it is in operation
this is to avoid cutting off the Ala
mo link until absolutely certain
that the All American is in proper
working order-the power plants
too. will have to work at limited
capacity Dowd explained.
He estimated that the plants
would be able to produce 40 pei
cent of their capacity in January
and would be stepped up as the
canal flow is increased. At first
only water for the east highline
canal will be served from the All
American and the other canals will
continue service through the present
Mexican route.
Quake Repair
Earthquake repair to the All AM
erican will not affect the September
opening, Dowd quoted Foster as
saying. The canal suffered some
damage in the Calexico district
which will require machine work
before it is again ready for opera
ton.
Additional power to supplement
the output of the Brawley diesel
plant will come as a welcome addi-
ton to the irrigation district. The
plant has already neared its capac-
ity and various dates in the near
future have been set for the time
when the district would have more
power to serve, unless supplemented
by juice from the canal operation.
