ANY EXTENSION
VIEWED AS BASIS
FOR C0MPR 0M|SE
Down. The-Line Fight For
Bill Might Lead to
Its Defeat
ADM NlSTRATl0N MAY
TAKE WHAT IT GETS
Bill to be Debated Monday
Prior to Addition of
Amendments
fBv United Press)

Washington. Aug. SUP Ad-
ministration leaders believed today
that they may have 10 accept a
shorter military service extension
than the IS months voted by the
Senate in order to get the legisla'
ton through the House.
1t was learned that they are
ready TO take any extension they
can get in the House. believing
that when the bill goes to confer
ence where the Senate and House
versions will be reconciled, they II
be able to work out a form accept
able to the Army and the Presi-
dent.
The House leaders were repre-
sented as feeling that a down-the-
line fight for House approval OF
the Senate's JS-month extension
would involve the risk OF defeat.
The bill will be debated an hour
and a half Monday and then read
for amendments. Leaders hoped
that the final vote would be taken
late Monday.
The first big floor fight probably
will come when Republican men,
bers OF the Military Affairs Com
mittee seek to eliminate selectees
from the extension entirely. They
propose that guardsmen, reservists
and regulars be retained in service
but that selectees be discharged at
the end OF their allotted year. The
Army would be permitted to limit
to $4,000 the number OF selectees
discharged in any one month.
Various proposals will be offered
by both Republicans and Demo
Gratis to cut the time OF the extern
sion below IS months.
House non-interventionist leader
Hamilton Fish, R., n Y, opened the
attack on the service extension
yesterday, charging it was part of
a gigantic plot to involve Amer
lea in war without the consent OF
Congress and against the will Of
the people.
Chairman Andrew J. May, D.,
Ky. of the Military Affairs Com
mittee, said the bill was essential
to national defense. Rep. Martin
Dies, D., Tex, said the nation must
be ready to make sacrifices to pre-
serve its liberty.

grounded.
The ship is owned by the Transit

Cecilton, Md.

1t was an early morning hour. l
stood at the lakeside and watched the
featherly mists as they, like whiffs
of smoke, rose from the surface of
the gray water But when l returned
later the mists had cleared away and
the dull water was respondent in a
binding yellow sheen of golden SUM-
light.
thought how often we are like the
water of the lake, dull and full of rls-
ing mists of troubles, when we should
be radiant with the sunlight of joy
and happiness.
l noted that the radiancy with
which the water of the lake was
sparkling did not have it's origin in
the lake, but it was radiancy reflec-
ted from the morning sun.
1t reminded me of the fact that
true radiancy in life does not origi-
nate within ourselves, but is reflec-
ton of that one source of all light in
life-God.
The many mists that dull the bril-
lance which our personalities would
otherwise have are those that rise out
of human nature. Such mists of
doubt, of Impotence, of temper, OF
fears, of selfishness, so becloud the
surface of ones life as to make I'M
possible any reflection of the divine
glory.
AS those morning mists cleared a.
way when they became exposed to
the warm rays of the mounting sun,
so the mists that dull your life will
vanish if you will permit to shine up
on you the warm rays of Gods truth.
His love, and His power.
In the glowing rays of divine sun
light you will find your personality
taking on the glow of poise, the
brightness of confidence, the bril-
lance of love.
Get out from under the shadows OF
life. Expose your mists to the sun
light of God. Bask in the radiance OF
Infinite Love.

even when you can't quite make up
your mind-or you want the recip-
lent to be mystiied as to whether
you're being personal or not-you
can still find electrical gifts to meet
those difficult demands.
But don't forget yourself and
your immediate family. IF you have
been promising yourself something
to save drudgery or something to
make home brighter or more pleas
ant-Christmas is a good time to
keep that promise. Does it matter
if your husband presents it to you
or the children open the package,
with loud cheers, as a gift to them
from you?

Will your friends thank you
politely but enthusiastically for
your Christmas gift-and then for
get it? Or will your gift be useful
every day, SO that they'll be thank
ing you even when they don't see
you?
Gifts that will be a constant re-
minder of you don't have to cost
more than those which are used up
or put away in the attic until you
come visiting. And of all the gifts
which multiply in value by the
number of times they can be used,
electrical gifts are the favorites.

year-when you have made out the
list of people to whom you are
planning to give, try to write an
appropriate electrical gift beside
each name. You won't have to try
very hard-you1l be surprised at
how few, if any, of your names you
can't match with an electrical gift
which is ''just the thing" Old and
young and middle-aged-and even
the difficult "teen-ers"; new friend
and ancient" relative; those who
expect little and those for whom
you must be extravagant-there's
something for all.
Another nice thing about cleo
trical gifts is that you can be very,
very personal or as impersonal as
you feel it necessary to be. And
