time for Lady Decies. as wife of
British peer, TO win a coveted
seat in Westminster Abbey for
the Coronation of George VI and
Queen Elizabeth on May IL, 1887.
This was the second coronation

American wife. When George V
and Queen Mary were crowned
more than a quarter OF a century
before, Decies had escorted to
Westminster Abbey his young

Churchill Proposes
Drafting Of Women
For War Work
Conscription Of Men
Still Available Also
Sought in Motion
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 27-Conscription
Of both woman power and man power
still available" for war work was
proposed in motion introduced in
the House Of Commons today by
Prime Minister Churchill.
Enabling legislation will be sought
Immediately.
The Prime Minister was expected
to make a statement in q debate
which will be opened soon.
The motion read:
In the opinion of this house, for
the purpose of securing the max
imum national effort in conduct of
the war and in production. the
obligation for national service should
be extended to include the resources
OF woman power and man power still
available and the necessary legisla-
ton should be brought in forthwith"
Co-lntroducers of the motion with
Mr.. Churchill were Clement Attlee,
Lord Privy Seal: Sir Archibald Sin
clair. Air Minister; Ernest Brown,
Health Minister. and Ernest Bevin,
Labor Minister.
The motion was interpreted gen.
orally as meaning the government
would conscript women for the
auxiliary services so far as is neces-
sary and extend the principle of
directing women into war in
dustries.
Most observers believe that women
up to 40 may expect to find them
selves liable for service in one form
or another.

is no reason to break diplomatic re-
latlons with France or take her
possessions until they actually con-
stltute a real threat to us. To act
unless We are threatened would
represent another step toward de-
claring war on half the world"
The opinions Senator Norris ex-
pressed on Franco-American rela-
tlons aroused considerable interest.
for he lunched with President Roose-
velt yesterday and it was reported
reliably they conversed briefly and
generally about foreign relations.
The Nebraska Senator presumably
gave the President his views re-
gardlng France. but he would not
discuss his White House conference
with reporters.
Senator Norris did tell newsmen,
however, that he thought Great
Britain and the United States have
shown more than reasonable pa
tlence" in dealing with Vichy.
The Nebraskan said he was fear
full that Marshal Petain might
yield to the Nazis so far that the
French fleet would be used to help
the Germans in the Mediterranean
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, longtime foe of admins
tration foreign policy, said that "if
the Vichy government does grant
complete collaboration to Germany
1 am sure the controlling factor will
have been our failure to give them
relief by refusing to send food which
they so desperately needed.
1T is impossible to starve people
without driving them into the arms
of somebody else"

Hearings in Senate
Open on Pensions
For 1917 Veterans
Bills Approved by House
Provide for Payments
To Reach 5 Billions
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Senate finance subcommittee
invited representatives of the Veter-
ans Administration and veterans
organizations to testify today on
legislation tc provide new World
War pensions at a total estimated
cost exceeding s5,000,000 900.
The subcommittee had before it
two House-approved bills, one of
which would increase total disability
payments from $50 to $40 per month
for World War veterans and at the
same time provide a $40 monthly
pension for World War veterans
reaching the age of IS.
A subcommittee attache said the
Veterans Administration had sub
mitted an estimate that the cost
of this legislation would be $500
100000 year by 1862 and would
ultimately total IS 100000 900.
A House committee report esti-
mated that approximately 14,6OO
World War veterans would be eli
gible at once for the age pension
and that if one-half of those en-
titled applied in the first year the
cost Of this provision would approxi-
mate s3,504000 for that year.
Total cost of the whole bill for
the first year was estimated at $ll,.
100000 by the House committee.
The second measure before the
committee would provide pension
to widows, dependent children and
dependent parents of deceased vet
eranS of the World War.
The Veterans Administration es-
timated the first-year cost of pro-
vlding pensions for all eligible
widows and children at 35,92O 900
