if the totalitarian powers do not
force us into this conflict. we may

emphasized that he favored aid TO

in it.

Limit OF Selectees
To Age Group Of
10 Is Studied
Proposal Is Discussed
As Compromise for
European Plan
BT the Associated Press.

bf tnE ASSOElhteN HIeSN.
Limiting compulsory military serv-
ice to men between 81 and rs was
reported under official considera-
tion today as a possible compromise
revision of the Selective Service
Act.
The proposal was discussed at
selective service headquarters as
means of transition. from the
existing liability to service OF men
between 81 and 35, to the European
arrangement by which men are
trained when they reach a specific
age such as l6 or 81.
The American Legion has spon-
sored a bill in Congress which would
limit compulsory service to men
between 18 and 25. Some Army
officials indicated they favored the
2l-to-25 year group as substitute.
Eventually, if defense requirements
demand an indefinite continuation
of the selective service system, sub
stitution of the European plan de-
pending on men of a single age Is
considered more satisfactory by
some manpoWer experts.
Every year. with the Nations to-
tai population at its present level,
approximately 1.250000 men reach
81 annually This in normal peace
times is considered more than am
pie TO supply needs of the land
forces
A far larger percentage of these
would be eligible than under the
present arrangement, since on the
average men of d possess fewer
physical defects, have fewer de-
pendents and are not tied down to
civilian jobs like older men.

Schultz Asks $4,000, 900.
Just a few minutes before the
House recommitted the bill Repre-
sentative Schultz Democrat. of In
diana, a member Of the District
Committee. made a vigorous plea
for more liberal treatment of the
Capital by the Federal Govern
ment. He called attention to the
ever increasing municipal expenses
resulting from national defense ac-
tivitieS for which. he said, the Dis
trict is not responsible, and urged
that the Federal payment be raised
from $4,000 900 to S9000000 a yeE.
It's the most equitable thing the
House can do" he declared
Mr.. Schultz did not mention the
Overton formula for fixing the
amount of the federal payment
toward muicipal expenses, but it
has been estimated the adoption Of
this plan would increase the federal
payment in the coming fiscal year,
beginning July l, to S9000000.
Representative Poage. Democrat,
of Texas. a former member of the
District Committee, took the lead
in fighting the nonresident income
tax provision and offered an amend
ment that would have exempted
from the tax any income earned
here by Government employees who
maintain a residence in any Of the
48 States. His amendment. however,
was modified on motion of Repre-
sentative Wilmington. Democrat, Of
Mississippi to exempt from the tax
all persons working here who main
tain legal residence" in any State
or territory. The vote in favor OF
the motion as amended was 80 to %.
Representative Poage argued that
if the real estate and gasoline taxes
here were raised to the average
of similar levies in the States, there
would be no need OF an income tax.
IF YOU raise real estate rates
rents will 90 up" warned Repre-
sentative Dirksen And if YOU do,
all Your constituents will pay the
DILL. The rental people here will get
50 for every 81 you raise the real
estate tax rate. Don't kid your
selves about that"
In the midst of the debate Repre-
sentative Randolph told the House
it was taking too lightly" its duties
in dealing with the District He
called attention to the fact that
nearly all the newspaper reporters
in the press gallery at the time were
those who covered local and not
