Federal Bar Is Told
OF Legal Status Of
Peace-Time Draft
Maj. MickeIwoite Cites
Support Of Courts
For Military Service

There appears little doubt Of the
legal powers of Congress to order
peace-time CONSUMPTION, Maj. Claude
B. Mickelwaite of the Judge Ad-
vocate's Office Of the Army, yesterday
told the Federal Bar Association at
a luncheon. meeting at Schneider's
Restaurant.
Maj. Mickelwaite recited previous
precedent for compulsory military
service in the constitutions of sew
eral States before the Federal Con-
stitution was adopted and in the
clauses of the latter. He also re-
ferred to a number of court de-
cisions showing a general tendency
on the part of the tribunals to a
broad Interpretation of the powers
of Congress in calling men to mill
tary service, even, in the case OF
some aliens, to the extent Of con-
travening treaty arrangements with
other countries that their citizens
would not be liable to military
service.
Cites Court Support.
He pointed out that the courts
have sustained the power of gov
eminent to compel military service
against claims that it violated due
process of law. that it constituted
involuntary servitutude, and that
the Federal power was limited by
the clauses in the Constitution gov
erning the calling out of the militia.
Declared aliens are liable for mill
tary service under the present con-
scription act. he said, and courts
have held that even those aliens
who have not declared their inten-
ton to become citizens can be forced
to serve. He added, however, that 1t
was his personal opinion that this
group probably would not be called
upon because of the large reservoir
from which the conscripts will come
as compared with the needed men.
Gen. Cox Speaks.
Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox. the
Districts selective service chief, told
the members group registration Of
Government employees was not con-
templated and that they would have
to register in the areas of their
residence here unless they wish to
be recorded from a legal residence
In another State, in which case their
card would be forwarded to the
Governor of that State.
William Roy Valance, member
of the association, suggested that
the ruling of courts negating treaty
arrangements as to CONSUMPTION of
aliens tended to make the treaties
only scraps Of paper"

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Wheat prices
slumped about cent bushel
today due to selling inspired by re-
ports of snow and some rain over
much of the southwestern hard win
ter wheat belt.
Selling dominated trade from the
opening bell but when May con-
tracts had been pushed down to
near 96 and July 9312, the market
developed steadiness.
Shows ranging to 4 to inches
in depth were reported over much
of Kansas and in Oklahoma and
Nebraska with rains south into
Texas. The forecast predicted con-
tinued unsettled weather with higher
temperatures and rain or snow
Monday or Tuesday and again at
the end of the week.
This type of weather in general
was regarded as about the best that
can be expected at this time of year
and if temperatures are high enough
to permit moisture to soak we'll into
the ground without running off much
wheat may benefit, crop experts said
However, some authorities believe
the large acreage of grain that had
not terminated before recent
moisture may not have time to ma
ture before harvest.
Other factors in the grain trade
were relegated to the background
by weather developments. Nothing
more was heard regarding reports
of sale of some Pacific Coast wheat
to the Orient.
Prices of other grains eased in
sympathy with wheat, but losses
were fractional in most cases
Country selling of corn has di-
minished as a result of the recent
price decline. This also has i'm
proved the corn-hog price ratio to
some extent.
At II am. wheat was 5s-B lower
compared with yesterdays finish

3s-12 down, May, 54s4; July, 545s.

in vast ribbon of churning ice, the
giant towboat Illinois clung to its

The line sent its toWboat Hoover

'AIesandro Holds
Blue Plains Conditions
Are AbominabIe
Receiving Home Also
Costieoted After
Surprise Visits

A picture of abominable condi-
tions under which the destitute aged
and the unfortunate young live as
wards of the Nations Capital was
painted today by Representative
Thomas D'Alesandro Of Maryland,
following a surprise visit to two
District institutions.
Representative D'Alesandro, who
is chairman of the House District
subcommittee on public health, told
of visits he made yesterday to the
home for the aged at Blue Plains
and the Receiving Home for Chill
dren on Potomac avenue Sc.
At Blue Plains, he said he found
TOO infirm old people housed In fire
traps, locked out of their dormi-
tories in the daytime so they could
not rest. He found that Is persons
had to use single bathroom, that
four nurses had to care to 128 pa
tients and that only So employees
were provided to handle the entire
population Of 700.
At the Receiving Home he said
he found:
Mere infants. children of impress
sionable age, many OF them from
homes of the poor whose parents are
ill, herded into the Receiving Home
for Children, grouped around a
table at which youths OF 16 to l8
years of age were playing dominoes
and boasting of their exploits steal
ing automobiles and other delin-
quencieS.'
But he emphasizes that conditions
there were much better than at the
Home for the Aged.
The Maryland Representative ex-
planned that these visits were made
so that he would be better able to
discuss relief measures for both OF
these institutions with Mrs. Roose-
welt, who has sharply criticized
existing conditions. He disclosed
that Mrs. Roosevelt had written a
letter to him promising to confer
with the D'Alesandro Subcomnit-
tee lin the very near future"
He also announced that Chairman
Jennings Randolph of the District
Committee and Everett M. Dirksen
of Illinois. ranking Republican
member. have volunteered to act as
ex-official members of the subcom-
mittee and assist him in the inves-
| tigation of these two institutions.
While at the Blue Plains institu-
ton, Mr.. DAlesandro took the
names of number of the inmates
who may be called to testify before
the investigating committee.
Make them unlock those dormi-
tory doors" some of the old men
pleaded.
Many complaints were made about
the food, Mr.. D'Alesandro said He
was also told that it had improved
since Mrs. Roosevelt's visit.
