Stimson Says Army
IWi|| Need Youths,
Young Married Men
Hos Had to Call Up
Both Glasses in Previous
Wars, He Points Out
r. the Associated Press.


Secretary of War Stimson ex-
pressed his belief today that
young married men and youths
of 18 to 20 would have to be
drafted for the armed forces be-
fore a victory over the Axis is
won.
Asked at his press conference
whether the War Department still
believed these men would be needed
for the Army, Secretary Stimson re-
piled that I'VE have never had a
great war in which we did not flnd
it necessary to call up both these
classes"
He reminded reporters that some
young married men already were
being drafted under the selectiye
service law, and said also he be-
lieved it would be necessary even
tually to lower the draft age to 18
However" he said, young men
in that group should not feel 1t
necessary to alter their plans for
the immediate future"
Postponement Held Indefinite.
The Secretary's comment fol-
lowed by only three days orders
from Selective Service to local draft
boards to call up married men last,
taking single war workers before
husbands and fathers.
Congress recently adopted Sc
lective service policy to defer as long
as possible the induction of mar
ried men of draft age maintaining
family relationships. Mr.. Stimson's
belief that eventually they would
be needed indicated that the War
Department regarded the post
ponement of their active service as
a temporary, indefinite one.
The Secretary had no reports to
supply on the progress Of fighting

ing over law books to find prece-
dents for the charges. Treason is
to be charged against some Of them.
But a few, it was indicated, may
escape with more minor accusa-
tions such as conspiracy. Convic-
ton on charges of treason in time
of war carries with 1t death
penalty-the same fate that faces
the eight saboteurs.
Documents Read At Trial.

eide their fate. it was revealed in an
