For Japan; British
Protests Detain Two
One Of Germans Elected
From Ship Breaks Into
Tears as Boot Leaves
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.-The
Tatuta Maru, Japanese liner, was
carrying IS Germans among its pas
sengers to Japan today after two
others had been elected from the
ship on British protests that they
might prove valuable to Hitler's war
machine should they continue to
their homeland
A third passenger to whom the
British had objected-H. w. Ritter,
described by steamship line officials
as "a New York banker"-waS per-
mitted to remain aboard. Ofhcials of
the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, operators
Of the vessel, said investigation did
not substantiate the British protest
in his case.
Elected from the ship here shortly
before it sailed were Mikolas Krauss,
machinist, and Hans Ernst, metal
worker, both Of New York City.
Mr.. Krauss broke into tears as
the ship departed without him. I'm
being crucified," he cried. Il feel
like jumping off a building. thought
this was a nation of free people. but
this thing happened because Of
things I have in my heart"
Neither Mr. Krauss nor Mr. Ernst
knew what they would do now, they
said.
Karl Scheuring, University of Dem
yer student, ordered by the Justice
Department to leave the United
States. was among the Germans
aboard the Tatuta Maru. He didn't
regard himself as being deported,
despite the departments action, he
said, and added that he hoped to
return and finish my studies. I've
done nothing un-American."
No such desire was expressed by o.
H. L. Panzler, who identified himself
as connected with the German Lii
brary of Information in New York
City. He wanted to sail for a long
time, he said. He added that he was
not coming back.
How "WeedinE Out" Worked.
So far as could be ascertained
from unofficial sources, the weed
ing out" process which resulted in
the cancellations worked like this:
The British obtained the names
of prospective passengers: the British
Consulate in San Francisco in
formed its Toxic Office of those
Britain thought might be valuable
to Germany and therefore should
not be granted safe passage; British
officials in Toxic relayed the in
formation to the Japanese govern
ment; the Japanese government.
unwilling to have the ship undergo
British search, informed ship officials
and through the German Consulate

emphasis on increasing the public
debt" he declared.
The President still believes in
spending Government money as If
1t were water" observed Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio. He
still thinks that deficits are blessing
in disguise"
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
declared the budget represented "a
minimum of what we ought to do
for defense" and Senator Connally,
Democrat, of Texas said he was for
adequate defense if it takes our
shirt"
Senators Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia and Hill, Democrat. of Ala
bama applauded the provision for
parity payments; Senator Thomas,
Democrat, of Utah was glad the
President didn't forget social secur-
ity," and Senator Mead, Democrat,
of New York thought that "the
amounts recommended for extension
of our social services and the farm
program may not be enough"

T.. |. 0. Asks Voice
For Labor in Draft
Equitable Operation
Of the System Also Is
Sought in Statement

The Executive Board of the c. I. O.,
calling for the selective service sys-
tenn to be "equitably administered,
urged yesterday that labor be given
an active voice in the administration
of the law and in the determination
of measures for the welfare of those
who are drafted.
Present operation of the system,
the board contended. has in most
areas virtually excluded labor par
ticipation.
The c. I. o. group adopted a
statement advising that the Selec-
ton process should be broadly ad-
miniStered so that every care will
be taken that unnecessary hard
ships are not wrought upon con-
scripted men," 1t charged that the
administration of the law up to this
point has tended to be unnecessarily
harsh upon men who lay claim 20
exemption.
Projections Asked.
The board further demanded that
complete protection be provided for
unemployment of those who leave
jobs to be drafted and for new en-
ployment for men who were unem-
ployed before they went into train
ing. Either social security benefits
or the guarantee of a job on public
works should be assured all unable
tn u-nry tho tof -.
suggested.
Demanding full consideration for
both the men and their families, the
board called for proper living and
health conditions, for administration
of the training period in accord with
democratic practice, and for sus-
pension of foreclosures or eviction
from homes during the military
service.
The encouragement of initia-
tive and self-reliance, with full op-
portunity for advancement from the
ranks" the board pointed out, is
first requirement of an American
Army. Conscripted men should be
guaranteed both in selection and
training against discrimination be-
cause of race, creed, nationality or
any other reason. The civil rights of
conscripted men. such as the right TO
vote, must be protected"
Defense Contracts.
In a resolution adopted by the
Executive Board, the President was
urged To issue an eyecI1tive order
requiring all Government agencies
to incorporate in Government con-
tracts provisions for compliance with
labor laws of the Nation by firms
to whom the contracts are awarded.
Speaking last night after an all
day meeting of the board, c. I. o.
President Philip Murray declared
the organization would use reason,
logic and sound Judgment to avert
strikes under the defense program,

Se|ective Service
Sponsors Oppose
Age-Limit Change
Legion Proposal to Train
Men Between 18 and
II Held Premature
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
House sponsors OF the selective
service law rejected as premature
today an American Legion propose,
to change the age limits for COM
pulsory military training. so that
only those between 18 and 81 would
be called.
In fact, Chairman May predicted
that the House Military Committee
probably would not give serious con-
sideration to any amendments to
revise the three -month-old statute.
1T would be foolish to change the
law so quickly" Representative May
said. We've got to get the program
working first before we will be able
to know whether any changes are
necessary at all"
Wadsworth Opposes Change.
Representative Wadsworth, Re-
publican, Of New York, cosponsor
of the legislation in Congress, said
that voluntary enlistments under the
program calling for the training of
men from 18 to IS had been so great
that selective service officials were
not yet able to say what percentages
OF selectees came from any age
brackets.
One argument advanced for the
Legion suggestion was that the
calling up of men in their late 20s
and early 30s was apt to cause
economic dislocation, particularly
where the trainees were established
in business.
I'm opposed to cutting the age
spread Of draftees, at least for the
time being" Mr.. Wadsworth said
It have been informed that the
Legion itself does not intend to
press for action at this session OF
Congress.
Reserve Of Trained Men.
"We've got to get the big army
contemplated by the statute trained
before we can change the program.
Once the reserve of trained men is
built up and certain number of
officers have served their time, then
we can think about revisions"
Representative Andrews, Repub-
lican, Of New York, ranking minority
member Of the committee, also ex-
pressed opposition on the same
grounds. Representative Thomason.
Democrat, of Texas. who ranks next
to Mr.. May, said he wanted to keep
an open mind on the subject, al
though he said he. too, believed the
law should be given a chance to
function"

To Use S. S. Mckinley.

The War Department has COM
pleted arrangements with the Mari
time Commission, Mr.. Stimson said,
for the use of the S. S. President
Mckinley as a combined passenger
and freight transport. The Nc
Kinley is a former Dollar Line
steamship.
National Guard divisions will be
inducted into the Federal service
during January as previously an
nounced, Mr.. Stimson said. He
was advised today plans are going
along as scheduled and that no
interruption is likely. The only
change made was in transferring
the 151st Alabama Engineer Bat
talon for induction at Camp Shelby,
Miss, on January 81 instead of at
Camp Claiborne, La. This was due
to inadequacy of housing at the
Louisiana post.
Assistant Secretary Robert Pat
terson said the Army was taking

Defense Commission to get the

,duction of essential war materials.
He would not 60 into any details,

The Puerto Rico and Panama
Canal forces are the strongest
American bases in the Atlantic.

The Army is specializing now at
Fort Benning, Ga; at Fort Sam
Houston, Tex, and other posts in
the formation and training of "air

duplicate the successful German
method of transporting infantry
companies and battalions to distant

with the defense not only of the
