there had been considerable Of
fetal discussion of postponing the
training OF all those 81 years old
and more. All men from 21
through 35 were required to regis
ter last October, and Hershey's
proposed amendment would permit
deferment of any group within that
range.
Il am informed" Hershey said,
that men in the younger age
brackets are best qualified for the
training and service contemplated
under the act.
ALSO, in view OF the provisions
for retaining the trainees in the
reserves for a period of 10 years,
it is desirable that the age OF
those trained be kept as low as
the national interest will permit,
so that the reserve forces will be
composed of men whose effective
ness will remain at a high level
throughout that period"

SHOWDOWN NEAR
IN SENATE OVER
CONVOY QUESTION

see that whole picture instead OF
just a segment OF It,"
A Senate test some time this
week on the convoy issue was
virtually assured yesterday when
the Senate Commerce Committee
gave 11-to-4 approval to the House
approved Administration bill for
requisitioning OF foreign shipping
now idle in domestic ports.
Once this bill is brought to the
floor, Senator Tobey (R-N.H.) in
tends to offer an amendment which
would prohibit the use OF naval
vessels for convoy duty. Attempts
for legislation banning conveys
have been futile ON several prev
ious occasions and Administration
polls were said to indicate suffici-
ent votes to defeat Tobey's pro-
posal.
There was much cloakroom con-
versation, meanwhile, on President
Roosevelt's decision to cancel his
scheduled Wednesday night ad-
dress before the heads of Latin
American diplomatic missions. The
White House announced late yes
terday that Mr.. Roosevelt would
make a fireside chat TO the nation
instead on May 81.
The Wednesday speech had been
awaited with unusual interest on
Capitol Hill, for many legislators
believed that it might be the We
hicle for announcements of para
mount importance regarding future
Administration plans on British
aid.

than Goering, but 1t was recogniz-
ed he exerted powerful influence
over Hitler.
His devotion was indicated IN
his declaration that Hitler was "a
heroic personality, verify a real
Fuehrer, because he is the execu-
tor OF a higher will.
When Nazi party underlings
gave evidence OF assuming self
importance, he rebuked them by
saying, there is only one Fuehrer
Adolf Hitler"
Administered Oath
Hess frequently administered
the oath TO new party members
Il swear to Adolf Hitler an I'M
breakable fealty and unquestioned
obedience"
Then he would add the grim
warning. which he chose TO flout:
Woe to any one breaking this
oath, for he shall be cast out
from soviety."
Born April %, 1894, in Alexan-
dria, Egypt, Hess was educated in
Germany. He abandoned plans for
a business career TO volunteer
with the Bayarian infantry in the
World War.
He was with Hitler in the Abo-
tive beer hall rutsch at Munich in
1928. They fled together and were
captured and imprisoned IN Lands
berg Fortress.
Here Hitler dictated while Hess
wrote and edited "Mein Kampf",
his autobiography and pattern for
