 "APPEASEMENT'

DIES MONIES, Ia. Aug. 30-Be- fore a cheering crowd, estimated at 1000 Henry A. Wallace, Demo- cratic Vice-Presidential nominee, de- livered his acceptance speech here last night in which an "appease- ment issue" was brought out as the keynote of the coming national campaign.
 Republican victory would result in one economic concession after an- other to totalitarian countries by the United States" Wallace said as the crowd applauded. Wallace de- cIared that appeasers will have their way if the Republicans win because those people believe Re- publicans in power would give them profitable business with German controlled Europe at the earliest possible moment"
 Jesse Jones, former head of the REC has been named to succeed to Wallace's place in the Cabinet, as secretary of Agriculture, which Wal lace resigned to run as teammate with President Roosevelt at the head of the Democratic Party.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 - The House military committee yesterday approved a version of the Burke Wadsworth conscription bill calling for the drafting of men from the ages of 21 to 45.

The Senate bill, as ap- proved by the Senate, would call up some twelve million men for train ing.
 The House military committee vote yesterday on the higher age brack- cts was 20 to 4. Actual debate on the measure is scheduled to begin in the House next Tuesday and ad- vocates predicted that it would ride through to an overwhelming ap- provaI by the end of the week Groups fighting against it's passage assailed the bill as unnecessary"
