Intl News Service star Correspondent


LONDON, Aug. 19.-Belatedly
revealed as the intended target Of
a German machine-g cunning at
tack. Prime Minister Churchill
lunched with King George today
and presented the monarch with a
personal letter from President
Roosevelt.
Churchill reported in FUR on his
series of conferences with the
President.
During the afternoon, the prime
minister and his wife visited the
ministry of information TO see the
motion picture record OF his con-
ference.
British officials permitted the
disclosure that only "a hours be-
fore Churchill boarded train for
London at an undiSclosed port
after his meeting with Mr.. Roose-
welt, German war planes machine
gunned the train,
Thus is explained the intense
and much-criticized secrecy which
clothed every movement OF the
prime minister rnfif his return 10
London today.
Authorities said the machine
cunning of the train may have
been only a coincidence, yet the
premier's narrow escape suggested
that Germany's espionage service
still is keenly efficient.

Init News Service stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-In q
surprise move, the war department
today announced that unless the
United States becomes more seri-
ously involved in the international
situation il will begin releasing
draftees and national guardsmen
next December under system
calling for an average service or
onlyp14 to Is months.
In dependency cases where
hardship can be shown, the re-
lease will be immediate, the dc.
partment said.
The decision, coming on the
theels of a high-pressure adrninis-
Itration drive for legislation to ex-
tend the total service to two and
one-half years, was unexplained.
1t means, said the department,
that approximately 100000 select
ICES, guardsmen and reserve officers
who were indicted into service
Hast November will be released on
their own application prior to
Dec. I, 1941," and that the releas-
ling of men will continue indef-
initely under a three-point priori-
ties system allowing service men
with dependents TO drop out first.
ON HEELS OF NEW LAW
President Roosevelt only yester.
day Signed the service extension
bill and second measure permits
ting the defermeht of draft regis
trants 2S years and older.
The original draft act preceded
for one year of service.
The decision of the war depart
ment to ask for an amendment
TO the law extending the service to
two and a half years precipitated
a storm in Congress, the House
barely approving the legislation
last week by one-vote margin.
Whether the temper of Congress
had anything to do with today's
announcement could not be imme-
diately determined. but it was
certain to have an ameliorating
effect on the legislators.
HOW 1T WILL WORK
The order, according to the war
department, in which the men will
be released follows:
+. Dependency and hardship
cases when properly established"
! 2-Men % years of age or
over July ]. 1871, regardless Of
length of service and in order of
their term of active duty.
3-Married men who want to
(, be discharged at the end of their
statutory one-year service.
The war department said that
,, release of men from army ranks
would be made at a uniform rate
so that the efficiency of the or
ganization will not be too seriously
lowered.
Other than dependency, hard

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Nov 20
While furniture manufacturers
we're still operating on untitled or
ders, recent days have witnessed a
sharp dropping off in new orders, it
was indicated today in a report on
the industry by Seidman & Seid-
man, business accountants.
In addition to this, the report said,
cancellations are appearing, along
with shipping holdups, giving rise
TO the opinion that retroactive
freezing of furniture prices is in the
offing." This. it said, had caused
buyers to call a halt in their rush
for goods in anticipation OF possible
further price rises.
Notwithstanding this situation
most furniture manufacturers oper-
ated at maximum capacity during
October and while orders fell of
slightly shipments during the past
nine months continued to make
record increases.
While the month closed with
manufacturers facing possibility G.
somewhat reduced activity for the
