of it now. His was the second house

shut the door on Jack.

Christine said, at the door of her
bedroom. Her mother kissed her

room. But after awhile Christine
heard her soft steps and Mrs. Ham,

wrapper on. Her face looked old
suddenly, and the happy, eager look
was gone.

Christine thought. She won't miss

ing, as Jack sat down beside her on
the sofa. Christine in the chair by
the fire thought: Now you're sup
posed to say your mother went to
school with Camille's cousin - or
something. But Jack simply said,
"Oh?' Jack, who held the whole
room listening on Saturday night,
now could say only Oh? or Yes?
Christine could feel his discomfort,
and longed to release him; but she
was bound too.
Jack sat leaning forward, his black
hair shining in the light. his forehead
creased in a frown. He shot Chris
tine a quick look that said: Can't
we 60? .. But Mrs. Hamilton was
turned toward him, pushing the
bracelets up on her arm, her face
alert and eager and shining with
interest. Tell me-" she said, did

We'll, isn't that nice. Christine

Oh. come on, Christine thought.
Tell her how much you make; she'll

Christine looked quickly at Jack,
but he avoided her glance. She dis
covered then that her hands were
clenched tightly and with an effort
she relaxed them. 1t seemed to her
that Jack was holding his breath,
but he let it out suddenly. Come
with US" he said.
"Oh. no." Mrs. Hamilton said
quickly, bright spots on her cheeks.

very tactless of me. just meant

We'll be glad to have you," Jack
said.
Mrs. Hamilton looked rushed and

her take that happy look off her

Draft
Continued From First Page

Senate bill contains a slightly diff
ferent rule, not limited to 1e43, for
completing a scholastic year.
The House bill also contains
provision to insure that the order
OF selection of individuals for in
duction will be uniform throughout
each State. 1t is designed to avoid
having one draft board in a COM
munity calling married men, be-
cause it has no others available,
while an adjoining board in the
same community still has single
men available.
The new bill also contains a pro-
vision that no individual shall be
relieved from induction solely on
the ground of having been con-
victed of a crime which is not
felony at common law if the draft
board finds that. Notwithstanding
such conviction, the man is morally
fit for military service.
Solomons Strategy Criticized.
House debate on the draft changes
was marked by criticism Of develop
ments in the Solomons campaign by
Representative Costello, Democrat,
of California, who questioned
whether there has been unified COM
mand in the Southwest Pacific. He
| told the House:
Il am very loath to assume the
responsibility of attempting to crit
icize those who have charge of the
conduct of this war. but I believe
that the present battle of the Solo,
mons is crying out for redress.
I'VE have heard great deal
about a unified command, but the
battle of the Solomons definitely
indicates that we do not have it.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur had been
designated as the supreme COM
mander of the Southwest Pacific
area. Then we find that the Navy
has been given command of an
other sector of the same area.
Whether the generals unified board
of strategy determined upon this
invasion of the Solomons, I know
not, but if they determined upon
OlldG dolO1l dlld k&AN 1loO WO4 n oltC
better program of conducting that
attack than has been evidenced
during the past two months, they
are certainly subject to criticism.
For two months the Marines have
been fighting on Guadalcanal. They
have not been given relief. The
Army has not been called upon to
bring in their troops and to bring
in their aircraft to join in the de-
fense of that island or to complete
its conquest. Why, ask, Mr.. Chair
man, has this not been done?
The soldiers in the Southwest Pa
cific are ready and able to come to
the aid of Guadalcanal, but they
cannot get there walking across the
water. They have to be taken there
by boat. I am afraid, Mr.. Chair
man. that an effort has been made
on the part of the Navy to conduct
'grandstand campaign in the Solo,
mons without asking for the aid OF

rendered his services to the Army

Mr.. May interrupted to say he was

The testimony at the hearings was
to the effect that military authori-
ties felt the average age Of fighting
