The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert s. Allen or active duty)

WASHINGTON Mrs. Roosevelt, talking to friend some time ago, remarked that she didn't mind cri- ticism of herself, regarding Mayris Chaney, the dancing girl, or any thing else. But she said she did get depressed over the flood of anonymous letters she had received about Franklin Jr.. being "a stacker"
 Franklin Jr., had had an apDen- dicitis operation and was laid up for a while. but apparently the public did not realize wha. had happened.
 Mrs. Roosevelt went on to say that her eldest son Jimmy had seen some very dangerous service with the Marine Corps comman- dos in England, and that Elliott had taken 18,000 photos flying low over the Libyan desert at great risk
 Actually she could have gone much further with justifiable pride i'll reviewing the war record of her sons, for Franklin Jr.. has seen more service in the field of danger than most men. He has been on a destroyer in the north Atlantic for total of Is months convoyins ships to England and Iceland Franklin is now a gunnery officer, lieutenant junior grade, age 28.
 John Roosevelt, the youngest son, age 26, is an ensign with diyis- ion of destroyers at San Diego, sometimes at sea, sometimes ashore
 Jimmy, age 34, is a major in the Marine Corps, having served with great bravery in the Solomon Islands, and had he not been the son of the President, undoubtedly would have been decorated. Unfor- tunately his stomach ulcers have returned, he has lost Is pounds-is as thin as Mahatma Gandhi and is confined to West Coast hos pital.

While the Jap fleet has suffered severely to date. it is still operating in compara- lively narrow waters

House Refuses Limit
On Foreign Service
By Teen-Age Troops
Passage Of Measure
Expected by NiehtfoII
As Amendment Fails
BULLETIN.

An effort to exempt the 18-
year-old group from the new
draft legislation failed in the
House this afternoon by a vote
of 155 to IS.
By the Associated Press.
Backing up the Army's high
command, the House refused to-
day to consider amendments to
the 18 and 10 year old draft bill
which would have barred use of
'teen-age troops in foreign COM
bat until first trained for a year
on American soil.
With passage of the bill by night
fall apparently assured, the House
blocked the training period amend
ments by adopting rule preventing
consideration of any amendments
offered from the floor except those
bearing directly on changing the
present 20 to As age range for selec-
tive service.
The action came on a standing
vote Of 212 to AZ, following the
reading of a letter from Gen. George
c. Marshall, Army chief of staff.
Light Had Been Expected.
The letter was read by Represen-
tative Wadsworth, Republican, of
New York, in support of q Rules
Committee recommendation which
would prevent the submission from
the floor of amendments to require
a fixed training period for soldiers
under 20.
Proponents of the amendment had
mapped out a fight to put it into
the bill, and to head them off, the
Rules Committee recommended that
only amendments dealing with draft
ages be permitted to be offered, ex-
cept from the Military Affairs Com
mittee itself.
The committee had rejected the
12-month minimum training provi-
sion when it approved the bill
Thursday.
Administrative Burden Cited.
Gen. Marshall urged Congress to
trust our judgment and our own
insistence that we fight only with
trained units"
However, the chief of staff ex-
planned such a limitation" as that
proposed would impose an almost
impossible" administrative burden
on the War Department.
Gen. Marshall reiterated what he
previously had told the Military
Committee-that the normal train
ing period lasts at least year, but
the Army does not desire to be tied
to such a program by law.
Training Period Assured.
The War Department, Gen Mcr-
shall emphasized in his letter, has
no intention Of sending unframed
men into combat. He conceded that
many American soldiers we're en-
gagged with the enemy during the
last war without having first had
reasonable training. and said the
Army heads had no intention of
permitting that situation to occur
again.
1t would be almost impossible for
the Army to operate under ANY
such mandate" restricting its train
ing activities, ne said, adding that
after the customary 13 weeks basic
training period many soldiers were
qualified to take their place with
previously trained combat units.
