Freak OF Nature?

George Henry Lewis had a piece of
timber with one of its limbs grown
back into the tree, which he found
four years ago along Deep Creek
Lake, near McComas Beach. He
thought it unusual and kept it in the
wood-house at his home near the
breast Of the dam, but he didn't think
it was particularly rare until last
Saturday Cumberland paper carried
picture of a similar timber, of red
oak, with one of its limbs grown back
into the tree, making it look something
like a giant beer stein. The article
said old-timers had never seen any
thing like it before.
Lewis timber was maple, and was
SO inches long, and about five inches
in diameter. The smaller limb was
about two inches thick. So in this
respect at least Allegany county has

postponing the actual draft until
after they have stood for re-elec-
ton in November.
Under the Fish amendment, the
President must first issue a call fol-
400, 900 volunteers and the 60-day
waitsmust run from the date of that
proclamation. Under that procla.
nation, he would be required to seek
volunteers between 18 and IS, al.
though both houses have voted tt
start the draft program at the age
limit of 81.
The days real moment of tension
came with the Fish amendment roll
call. 1t had been adopted originally
by a vote of 185 to 155 and the
membership realized that the final
decision by roll call would be close
A dead hush pervaded the cham
ber as the names were called. Those
who kept tallies of the progress oi
the voting saw the lead seeSaw
back and forth, with neither side
ever holding an advantage of more
than a few votes.
Roll Call on Amendment.
When the call of the roll had beer
completed, the chamber waitec
tensely while little group of men,
bers who had not voted when theiI
names were first called announced
their ballots. A few changed theil
votes. In the end, with every ONE
listening intently, Speaker Bank
head announced the final result as
208 to 200. Then it developed that
an error had fbeen made and this
was corrected to 207 to 200.

ment produced a bitter dispute.

sary to ready the District records
for use when the time comes for
the national lottery for drawing
draftees into training and service.
1t was explained that not only
would the District receive a quota
but that this would be divided on a
population basis among the various
registration areas within the Dis
trict.
Offices of all local boards would be
located in the old jefferson Junior
High School Building. Sixth street
and Virginia avenue S.W.
The plan states that in prepar-
ing a list of examing physicians the
executive officer for selective service
would avail himself of the services
of the medical assistant, the head of
the District Health Department, the
head of the District Medical Society,
and the officers in charge of Gov
ernment Hospitals and the Vet
erans' Administration. TT is sug-
gested that an open letter be pub
lished to the medical profession of
Washington advising them of the
opportunities for patriotic service
as examining physicians" the pro-
gram adds.
In connection with the creation
of a Medical Advisory Board, the
following hospitals would be util-
lied for "centers of activity; United
States Government hospitals, Freed
mems, Casualty, Emergency, ESpiS-
copal Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat,
Garfield, Georgetown University,
George Washington University and
Sibley Hospitals.
From the attending physicians of
these hospitals, 1t was added, would
be found the required specialists
who willingly would serve on the
medical advisory board. First con-
sideration should be given, it was
added, to accomplishing this task
with United States Government per-
Sonnel at the various Government
Hospitals and those with the Vet
erans' Administration.
Lawyers Have a Part.
In preparing list of Govern
ment appeal agents, the program
stated, the executive officer should
avail himself of the services of the
head of the District Bar Associa-
ton and of such judicial officials as
may be available. 1t added: 1.-The
members of the legal profession may
properly be called upon to render
this service, as they are acquaint-
ed with forms of procedure and with
investigation and readily will fit into
the workings of the system
AS to the advisory board for reg
istrantS, the plan stated, promi-
nent member of the judiciary should
be appointed as chairman of the
| board by the Commissioners.
In many ways the proposed plan
corresponds with procedures used
during the World War, when Aud
itor Daniel j. Donovan had charge
| of the District draft mechanism.
Main differences are use of the
National Guard chief as executive
officer instead of a District official
and the use of population areas this
time instead of police precincts as

recommending the personnel.
Basis Of Exemption.
As in the World War, these boards
will have authority to defer the call
ing of men with dependents, or
whose work at home is held to be
essential in industry or agriculture.
Such exemptions will be based on
the circumstances in each individual
case, however, and not by trade or
group.
If the age limits are finally held
at 81 to 80, inclusive, nearly 2,00o,-
600 will be required to register, and
Army officials estimate that, after
allowing for all exemptions, 1000, 600
would be available for training.
If the House age limits of 81 to

ber election, as soon as the conscrip-
ton bill, the excess profits tax and a
final deficiency appropriation bill
are enacted. This last supply bill
would carry approximately $780,
100000 to defray the expenses of
the training program.
Even if the Fish amendment is
retained in conference, registration
could take place Immediately on a
date to be fixed by the President
but no trainees could be inducted
into the service until the Army had
devoted 60 days to a further effort
to obtain volunteers.
Advocates of the bill fought the
amendment, sponsored by Repre-
sentative Fish, Republican, of New
York, feeling 1t would delay the
Army's plan to begin calling men
out gradually during October, No
vember and December, so that the
first increment of 100000 conscripts
would be in training by January l..
They sternly charged that some
amendment supporters were back

During the World War extern

registration centers and school
teachers as registrars as well as

ance from local bar and medical as
sociations.
