WPB May Order Plastic
For Small Autographs

BY the Associated Press.
Use of a new plastic and paper
Autograph plate would become vir-
tually mandatory as a. substitute for
metal in small-size Offset printing
jobs under an order now getting pre-
liminary study by the War Produc-
ton Board.
The plastic plates, already being
used or tested by dozen Govern
ment agencies and bureaus, could
accomplish saving Of about $500
tons Of zinc year, a WPB official
estimated.
Such an order would not be feast
BILE for some time, however, because
Of limited present production of the
plastic material and the fact that
one of the ingredients, vinyl alcohol,
Is essential in. more direct war uses,
including synthetic rubber.
Any order requiring photographers
to use the new material probably
would apply only to plates smaller
than "a by 20, inches, the official
said, because the plastic has not
been tested sunciently in larger
plates.
The material now is being used for
map-making and duplicating by the
Army Map Service
Produced by the Plastolith Co.,
Boston, the plates, composed of
equal parts paper and plastic, are
suitably only for Autograph work
and not for newspaper or other types

'String|ess' Draft Bill
Will Be Called Up
In Senate Today
Group Decides to Abandon
Years Troininq Proviso
For Teen-Aee Youths
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Americas war leaders asked
the Senate today to approve a
bill permitting induction of 10
and 10 year old youths without
restrictions on the length of their
training.
Backed by declarations from the
general staff that young fighters are
needed at once to invigorate the
steadily growing Army, Senator
Quincy, Republican, of South Da-
kota announced he would call up
the bill at the first opportunity to-
day to speed it toward the White
House.
II feel strongly" said Senator
Quincy, who introduced the bill.
that the Senate must 60 along
now in giving the Army the tools
quickly so there will be no stop
page in the fine offensive program
already started"
Last Hazard Fades.
The last apparent hazard to the
legislation faded yesterday when
a group OF Senators, who had sue
ceeded in writing in an amendment
requiring a years pre-combat train
ing for the teen-age youths, decided
to abandon efforts to restore the
proviso, which was eliminated by
a conference committee.
Senator McKeller. Democrat. of
Tennessee, one of those who dis
cussed the matter at a strategy
meeting, said War Department Of
ficials had given assurance that
the youngsters would receive "ade-
quate' training before going into
battle.
Senator Chavez. Democrat, of New
Mexico declared it would be fool
ish" to argue the matter further.
African Drive Helps.
Senate sentiment for a bill with
no strings appeared to be bolstered
not only by the large vote with
which the House accepted the con-
ference committees recommends
tions, but also by the mounting
strength of the United Nations
drive in North Africa.
The revised bill, in addition to
lowering the draft age to take in
youths born as late as 1924, pro-
vides for deferment in induction
of regularly employed, necessary
farm workers, as long as they re-
main on the farm and until salts
factory requirements can be OBJ
tanned.
Youths of .18 or 10, who receive
their draft calls during the last
half of the academic high school
year would be allowed deferment,
on application, until the end of
that semester. Registrars now over
