House. Senate Leaders Meet
To Study SlimSOm AEF Request
Declare z m c rgency,
Secretary of War
Urges Congress
By CECIL Il. DICKSON
Int'i New Service START Correspondent

WASHINGTON, june IS. - \
secret conference was planned to-
day by Democratic leaders and
chairmon Of The Senate and
House naval and military affairs
committees 10 consider Conhden-
tial request from Secretary OF War
Stirnson for a congressional cecla-
ration of national emergency and
legislation that might open the
way 10 use Selectees and regular
army troops in an American expo
dictionary force 10 any part OF The
world
While text Of the communication
was withheld il was learned that
the move is designed 10 empower
the President 10 retain the guards
men and SelecteeS in service FOR an
indefinite period.
The request also would remove
any restrictions on the use OF Ma
tional Guardsmen and SelectecS IN
foreign countries. IL was learned
in high war department circles.
BARREL IN DRAFT ACT
Under the Selcctivc Service Act
draftees can be sent only 10 West
crn Hemisphere countries and the
nations possessions outside the
Western Hemisphere.
The National Guard is primarily
restricted because under present
law euardsmen can only be kept
in federal service a year without
new legislation,
This curbs the feasibility Of
sending euardsmen to foreign
shores.
President Roosevelt recently
asked Secretary StlmSon FOR a re-
port on whether the National
Guard and selectees should be
held in the armed forces another
year. Stimson recommended that
guardSmen should be held over.
Under the Sclective Service Act
AL drafteeS are held on the re-
serve list for 10 years or until 45
years old but the law stipulates
that their u months training
period cannot be extended except
whenever the Congress has de-
clared that the national interest
is imperiled" When this is done,
the President is authorized TO eX-
tend their training period.
LEGAL CONFLICT
This provision is somewhat in
conflict with another providing
that a draftee's service may be
extended by the President 20
such additional training or service
as may now or hereafter be pre-
scribed by law"
Stimson's request followed an
other by the war department ask
ing for legislation 10 permit the
retirement of all officers unable
10 stand the strain Of modern
combat.
Included in the request also was
a proposal 10 remove restrictions
on service of reserve army officers
during the emergency.
