Senate Majority Leader Barkley
announced after White House con-
ference today that the administra-
ton would seek prompt congress
slonal approval of measures to retain
selectees and members of the Ma
tional Guard in service beyond their
one-year training period.
Asked whether he thought Con-
gress would approve the legislation,
Senator Barkley told reporters that
when the need for the legislation
becomes apparent believe Congress
will in no way shirk its duty"
At the same time, there were indi-
cations that a measure lifting the
prohibition against sending selectees
outside the hemisphere would be
dropped for the time being.
Senator Barkley said that the
measure lifting the Western Hemi-
sphere ban was separate measure
which had mo immediate connec-
ton" with the program to retain
selecteeS in service.
Senator Hill. Democrat. of Ala
bama. a member of the Military
Affairs Committee and one Of those
who attended the conference, added
that the hemisphere proposal prob
ably will not be considered a. any
time in the near future"
Prompt Approval Sought.
Senator Hill and others of the
White House conferees said that all
efforts would be made to win prompt
congressional approval of the lcgis-
lation continuing the selectees and
members of the National Guard IN
service
In an effort to settle some Of the
problems involved in extending The
length OF service, Mr.. Roosevelt met
with seven Democratic and TWO Re-
publican members of the Senate and
House. Gen Marshall. chief OF
staff, also was present.
Representative Wadsworth, Re-
publican, of New York. another OF
the conterees, asserted:
The importance of the thing
was admitted by everybody. Every
body got a better view of what the
predicament was"
The predicament, he said. was
whether the United States should
take a chance of tearing to pieces

Marshall Convincing"
Gen. Marshall recently recon-
menGed keeping the three classes
of men in service, but strong OBJ
jectionS arose in some congressional
quarters. Gen. Marshall also sug-
gested that selectees. Guardsmen
and Reserves be permitted to serve
outside the Western Hemisphere.
Senator Barkley said that Gen.
Marshall had discussed the situation
very frankly and fully and was
very convincing.
1t was said authoritatively that
the leaders discussed with the
President the contention of oppo-
nents that continuing selectees in
service beyond year would be
"breaking a contract
A majority of the group was re-
ported to have agreed. however. that
there would be no invalidation OF
! contracts because the draft act pro-
vided that men selected would serve
II months unless Congress decided
that the national interest required
longer period of training.
Representative Wadsworth said
the group discussed a suggestion by
Chairman George of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, that VOL
untary enlistments be encouraged.
