SENATE MAY NOT
APPROVE DRAFT
EXTENSION BILL
Compromise Plans Gain
Strength, Leaders
Abandon Hope
ADMINISTRATION MAY
NOT YIELD TO TAFT
Senator Barley Asks For
Show Down on
Proposals

Washington, Aug. Inns SEN
ate administration leaders today
abandoned hope OF passing the
draft extension bill by tomorrow
as compromise proposals gained
strength.
There is no indication that the
administration will voluntarily
yield to the popular Taft comprom-
Use. and others, but 1t is conceded
that their strength will postpone
a final vote on the measure until
next week.
Senate Democratic Leader Bark
ley, asserting that I'VE will stand
by our bill', ordered a showdown
on the Taft compromise, and other
modifying proposals.
The substitute of Sen. Taft (R)
Ohio, would increase the draftee
training period from IL to is
months, limit the size of the peace
time Army to 100000 men, and
give bonus Of 5000 to each selec-
tee, guardsman and reservist who
enllsts IN the regular Army after
a years training.
Democratic senators who have
not yet been completely won over
to voting for retaining the selec.
tees, guardsmen and reservists in
definitely in service during the
emergency are beginning to take
serious note of Taft's plan. 1t
already has the support OF almost
the entire Republican bloc. and
Democratic non-interventionists
Taft, meanwhile, is considering
adding new section to his amend
ment which would place a time
limit on the period the selectees
could be kept in service, regardless
OF the duration of the emergency.
Administration leaders are con-
fident that in the end the Taft
substitute will be defeated, but
they admitted that they have more
OF fight on their hands than first
expected.

10TH CENTURY
 SHOWS FILM OF
 SEA MYSTERIES E
Carole Landis, Henry Will. eoxin, 0nslow Stevens
 Star in Raid Story

Telling with graphic descriptive ness what might have happened to the City of Flint when it was boarded by Nazi prize crew in the North Sea at the outset of the present war. the new film at the 20th Century, Paramount's "Mys- tery Sea Raider" provides excite ment and thrills, as it shows how the spy ring of the sea was smashed.
 The picture stars the new blonde Ping girl, Carole Landis, who is shown in her second starring role. Playing opposite Miss Landis are Henry Wilcoxin and Cnslow Stevens, and directing them is Ed- ward Dmytryk.
 The film itself is based on three major naval incidents of the cur rent conflict between Germany and Great Britain. In its telling of the true story behind commerce raid- ing on the high seas in war time, it draws parallels with the activi- ties of such ships as the Graf Spec, the Altmark and the City of Flint.
 It is likely that the City of Flint would have been converted into the type of sea raider por- trayed in Mystery Sea Raider" if it had not been for the interven- ton of the Norwegian government. The movie double shows what might have happened when fifth column operatives took her over.
