RALEIH, Oct. 8.-Appointmen,
of Walter Lambeth of Charlotte tc
the Board of Conservation and De
velopment means addition of q
member who is adamantly opposed
to diversion of any money from
hunting and fishing license receipt.
to any other purpose whatsoever
but it does not put him in conflict
with othermembers of the board
even though there has been and
still is some such diversion-witt
the forestry division getting the
benefits.
Lambeth was among a group Of
sportsmen who came before the
boards game and fish committee
some months ago when it held one
of the liveliest sessions of the re.
cent past.
He was cited as being among
those who would favor a complete
separation of game and fish con.
troll from the c. and D. board; but
now that he is a member his views
will likely be somewhat modified.
AS a matter of fact, there ism,
even one board member who ia.
vors diversion, if there is any pos.
sible way to avert it; but the ma
jority felt that the 1889 eneral
Assembly practically handed out
an order to take care of forestry
in part at least, by use of some
funds realized from sale of hunt.
ing an dfishing licenses. Addition
al appropriations we're requested,
but were refused on the grounds
that the needed money could be
taken from the license receipts.
That lift the board with little
discretion; but it IS proposed tc
avoid a like situation next year
by pressing for additional forestry
appropriations in the 1941 legisla'
ture. Addition of Mr.. Lambeth t.
the board is strong evidence thai
this pressure will be stronger thar
ever, probably strong enough tt
get the requested funds.

CONSUMPTION Deferment
Rules To Be Liberal


7 WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-R-
Selective service officials directed
efforts today toward establish
ment of a uniform nationwide
policy in application of the broad,
general rules governing deferment
of men from compulsory military
service for occupational reasons.
The rules, issued yesterday, con-
formed generally to advance re-
ports that local draft boards would
be instructed to be liberal in de-
ferring both men with dependents
and those with necessary" jobs
in occupations important to the
national health, safety and interest.

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Aug. %.
- Up - The withdrawal of certain

this country was disclosed tonight in
an army communicate.
The announcement said the bulk

There have been numerous reports
that Rumanian civilians and Off
Gals were quitting the southern
Bucovina and Moldavia areas which
now are surrounded by Russian
troops.
Opposes Incidents
Russia, it was learned in official
circles, treasured Rumania through
her minister in Moscow that she
wanted to avoid border incidents as
much as Rumania.
That assurance was given after
the Rumanian minister, Grigore CAT
encu visited Premier Molotoff and
told him that heavy Soviet troop
concentrations on the new frontier
was causing disquiet in Rumania.
Preoccupied with Russia in the
east, Rumania. also had trouble ir
the west and formally accused the
Hungarian air force tonight of "rea,

that a Hungarian bomber had beer
forced down by anti-aircraft fire
after it had made a bombing and ma

civil airport.

ORDERS REGISTRATION
House Military Committee
Is Deep In Dispute Over
Similar Measure
WILL DRAFT PLANTS
War Department Is Ready
With Plans To Put Bill
Into Operation

WASHINGTON, Aug. %.
(AP)-The peace-time draft
bill, subjecting the nations
young manhood to compul-
sorry military training, was
approved by the senate to-
night at the end of pro-
longed controversy.
A smashing vote of So to
81 sent the measure to the
house. There the military
committee was already deep
in dispute over a similar bill.
In broad outline, the SEN
|ate's measure requires all
male citizens between 81 and
|3O inclusive to register for
the draft, some 10000 600 in
all. All these would become
liable to one year of train
ing, to be spent at any point
in the Western Hemisphere.
By declaring an emergency
to exist, congress could hold
them in service for a longer
period.
May Volunteer
In addition, all between ID and
IS might volunteer for a one-year
'hitch", as the army men call it.
of training and service. No more
than 900, 900 draftees might be in
the service for training at n time.
Before passing the Burke-Wads-
worth bill for compulsory military
training of manpower, the senate
added to it an amendment provid-
ing for the drafting of industrial
plants as well if defense officials
deemed that necessary.
This provision was adopted by
overwhelming vote of SO to 16 after
a three-hour discussion in which
advocates commended it was wrong
to conscript men and yet let some
manufacturers hold up the gov
eminent for excessive profits on
defense contracts.
Long Steps
To this argument, several sena-
tors replied that the CONSUMPTION
of industrial units, with the con-
scription of men, constituted two
long steps toward the abandonment
of the Amberican economic system
and the American form of govern
ment. Soon, they commended, would
come CONSUMPTION of labor to man
plants seized by the government.
Although the bill apparently will
not become law for a fortnight, at
least, advocates said the var de-
partment had long been ready with
specific plans for putting the mea-
sure in operation.
The details Of these preparations
were reported to the senate tonight
a few hours before the vote, by
Senator Minton D-Indl, who said
he had them from an officer of
the general staff.

becomes law is to be registration

of seeing a p%yrotechnic display
like that during Sunday nights raid
