WHATS YOUR
PEI PEEVE

nave you a pet peeVe! a lew
StuuenLS In hardin high were
interviewed about TINS subject
and some of THESE peeVeS are
very good hints, but the rest are
about everything in general.
Roland Crosby heads the list
with his pet peeve OF having TO
crank the car in the morning.
Maybe you could invent some
thing to do away with this
nuisance, Roland.
Marguerite Plummer is dis
gusted by having the covers
pulled off her every morning.
It's probably time to get up
anyway, Plummer.
Jack NeWkirk says Girls IN
general" What's the matter,
Jack, can't you take it?
What's this we hear of Lysle
Haverfield saying his little bro
ther seldom helps him feed the
guinea pigs in the morning?
Why the industrious little boy,
we hear his mother has to feed
them over one-half of the time
anyway.
Frank Peterson seems to be
La Nell Boughton's pet peeve.
Frank, can't you leave these
freshman girls alone?
Barney and Bill Sibley both
seem to get in on the subject
of blind dates. Better luck next
time; we all get gyped at times.
Edna Mae Helton hates to
walk to school in the morning.
Is there something wrong with
Roland's car, or is there some
thing deeper behind all this?
Bob Dyskman and Blame
GustafSon both dislike the
"bummers." Get what they
mean?
Mary Starkweather came
right out and said sociology"
How about the rest of you SEN
iors? Be honest.
It "gets" Jack Buzzetti when
people won't tell him gossip.
There's none to tell-he knows
it all.
william Kern doesn't like to
do chores in the dark after ne
gets home from school. Say,
Bill, are you afraid of the dark?
"Giving speeches is what gets
me-" says Bud Starkweather.
Bill Wilson replied that the
teachers got on his nerves.
Frances Dehnert hates to be

Is this a crack, and how!
Eunice Simpson doesn't care

the Nation be given more time to
consider . plan the council de-
scribed as amounting to "a virtual
revolution In our entire outlook"
In announcing he will vote against
the bill, Senator Norris wrote, in
part:
II realize we are confronted at
present with world conditions that
make logical argument in favor Of
the bill, 80 I realize the question
has two sides. I am not question:
ing in any way the conscientious
ness or good faith Of those who
favor the III, but do not believe
we are confronted with conditions
OF such imminent danger as to
justify changing the established
policy Of our Government on this
question.
Ample Time to Prepare.
1--WE are not surrounded, as were
Switzerland, Holland, Belgium and
Denmark, nations which could be
confronted almost on . moments
notice with an army Of invasion.
Before any nation Of Europe could
prepare to invade the United States
we would have ample time to pre-
pare and to train large army
without its being necessary to pre-
pare years In advance.
II am speaking now Of an army
Of military men fighting on the
ground. It does not apply to the
air forces or to the Navy, for in
stance, which would engage the
enemy long before there would be
any attempt TO land troops on
our shores. Before an invasion
could be attempted our Navy and
our air force would have to be
practically destroyed.
THE only possibility OF the success
of an invading army at the present
time, or even in the near future
would be If Hitler succeeded in con-
quering England and securing the
British Navy. BY uniting this with
his own and with such of the French
Navy as Germany might control,

Senator Norris Rops v
Conseription Bill
As Unnecessary
Continued From First Page.)

Continued From First Page.)
As Secretary of War in the Willkie
Cabinet Senator Burke, who is
co-author of the bill, has announced
his support Of Wendell L. Willkie,
Republican nominee for President.
Drafting of men without at the
same time conscripting wealth and
natural resources was criticized by
Mr.. Marsh.
DR.. c. s. Longacre. representing
the Religious Liberty Association of
America and the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists, said those he represents
are not pacifists or conscientious
objectors, but non-combatants.
Describes ''Non- Combatant."
He described a non-combatant as
. person who believes he should not
take human life, but is willing to
cooperate in supporting defense
measures. He said his group are in
harmony with the bill, and had no
objection to registration. He asked
only that provision be made under
which such persons could be as
signed to non-c -combatant service.
Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord,
adjutant general of Maryland,
urged an amendment to insure the
continued support by Congress of
an adequate National Guard in
each of the States after the pro-
posed intensive training program is
completed. He expressed fear that
after a large bory OF trained Re-

serves Is built up by selective service
Congress may be inclined to regard
future appropriations for mainte-
nance of the National Guard as un-
necessary.
Maj. George L. Eberle of the Army
general staff told the committee
the cost for the current fiscal year
will be $l,100 900 900, but one-fourth
of that would be a homecoming
outlay for housing facilities.
Later, Mr.. Marsh returned to the
stand and again threw the hearing
into an uproar by proposing an
amendment to require all members
of Congress to resign on passage Of
the bill and take an assignment at
$21 a month under the training pro-
gram confident that their employ
ers will return them to their former
jobs"
Despite the Norris blast against
the program as unnecessary at this
time and likely to make the United
States an international bully"
Senator Mlnton of Indiana, Demo-
cratic whip, predicted a selective
service plan will win the approval
of Congress.
At Odds With Aministrat ton.
While the military training bill is
not partisan issue, Senator Norris
decision to oppose 1t places him at
odds with the Roosevelt administra-
ton, which he has supported on
most major questions during the last
seven years.
The Nebraskan, only present Sen
ator who voted against United States
entrance into the World War, made
known his position in letter to q
constituent, in which he sought to
show the defense needs of America
do not require peacetime conscrip-
ton.
Although Chairman Sheppard be-
lieves the Senate committee will
complete its study Of details today,
1t is possible final vote on re-
porting the measure may be put od
until Monday to await the return of
absent members.
Chairman May Of the House COM
mittee predicted his group would
finish hearings by Tuesday, so that
the bill may be ready for both
branches by the end of next week.
A lottery held in WASHINGTON
would determine the order in which
registrants would be listed for mill
tary service by $500 local draft
boards throughout the country, ac--
cording to Maj. Lewis B. Hershey,
who outlined to the House group
yesterday afternoon plans that have
been worked out in minute detail
since 1920 for registering the man
power of the Nation in time of
emergency.
While the bill calls for registra-
ton of all men between 18 and IS,
only those from 2l to IS would be
considered for military training, and
Army officials have indicated that
Evening star., 1940-07-25

the age group from 81 to 80 prob.
ably would provide all the men
required at the start.
They estimate there are close to
10000 900 men in that age group,
and that, on the basis Of World War
experience, approximately 1000 900
would be found available for train
ing after making allowance for de-
ferment Of men with dependents or
jobs In essential industries.
Maj. Hershey. executive officer of
a joint Army Navy Selective Service
Committee, told the House group
that, as the result of 20 years of
study Of the subject. there has been
developed in each State the nucleus
of a local organization to proceed
without delay as soon as Congress
passes the bill.
The first step, he said, would be
the issuance of a presidential proc
lamation. designating q registration
day. on which the men within the
specified age limits would go to the
Evening star., 1940-07-25

place where they ordinarily vote,
have their names enrolled and re-
ceive a registration card.
AS promptly as possible the local
boards would give each man a
number. Then would come the
drawing in Washington to de.
termine the order in which each
local board would arrange its list
of registrants.
The local boards would then have
the task of obtaining from each
registrant a detailed QUESTIONABLE
to form the basis for classifying the
men for the purpose of deferring
those who should not be mustered
into service for training because of
dependents, employment in a key
industry or physical defects. Thus,
- AS against the Norris contention,
both houses have been told by Gen.
George c. Marshall. Army chief of
stafi, that some form of selective
service Is essential without delay to
get the personnel needed to go with

that Of japan. An attempt. might b
made to land an invading army.
Even that could not possibly sucs

would attempt it, until after both
the air and naval forces of the
United States had been destroyed.

Meanwhile, the National Council
