CHINESE WARNED TO
LEAVE INDIA ALONE

Chungking Generalissimo
Chang Kai-Shek has telegraphed
officers and men of the Chinese
Expeditionary Forces in India
several days ago ordering them to
conduct themselves with modesty
and couraae toward Allied troops
and not to become involved in the
political problems of India.
The message was similar to one
forwarded by President Roosevelt
to United States troops instruct
ing them to avoid becoming en-
tangled in India's troubled poll
teal situation.
Expressing my great concern
over the welfare of Chinese sick
and wounded, Chang said he had
dispatched U. S. Lieut.. Gen. Jo-
seph w. Stilwell, chief of staff
of Allied troops in China, to in
spect conditions and issue orders
for improvements and for inten.
sification of training.

Married Men With Dependent
Wives To Face Call This Fall

In a move to increase the ma
TONS man power for the army,
the Selective Service headquart-
ers during the past week ordered
a Redistribution of all 1-B to Ia
of those registrants not totally
disqualified for military service.
It was announced this week
from Washington, by selective
service officials that married men
with dependent wives, but no
children face induction early in
Misunderstanding by Christ
mas"-according to Maj. Gen.
Lewis B. Hershey, national draft
director, and officials here believe
the army's present rate of expan-
sion will necessitate calling mar
ried men with children soon
thereafter.
The army has attempted to
soften the blow by obtaining
congressional approval of a de-
tendency allotment blll-noW IN
force-permitting payment of 500
monthly to a dependent wife;
$62 a month to wife and one
child, and $40 additional for 9TH
er children.
The army has delayed the draft
ing of married men as long as
possible to prevent dislocatlons
inevitable when families are
broken up. To this end, it has
brought constant pressure on
Congress to amend the draft law
to permit induction of youths OF
Is and 10 years of age.
Congress has refused to take
anv immediate action because,
observers believe, the proposed
amendment is loaded with polltl-
cal dynamite and should be a
voided until after the November
elections.
The army last winter failed IN
an attempt to gain authority to
draft 19-year-olds. The Senate
agreed, but the House, which Ia
vored the old 21-year limit, re-
fused it's approval and the issue
was compromised to permit IN
auctions of 2O-year-olds.
A War Department spokesman
said the army would rather have
Youths than married men, con-
tending they make "the best pos
sible soldiers"
physically, they are tough
mentally they are plant" he SAID
'And they haven't any strong
home ties to cause emotional up
sets when indicted into the arm
ed services"
Hershey, in disclosing the i'm.
pending induction Of married
men, removed the plea for draft
ing 18 and 19-year-olds but mem

committee have evidenced a
"watch-and-wait' attitude. Con-
gressional sources predict that no
action will come until December.
Some persons herA, however,
felt that public opinion would in
fluence Congress to adopt the
proposal. They believed civic or
CARNATIONS and churches, faced
with the choice of having family
men or youngsters taken from the
communities, would demand
prompt action by the legislators
along lines recommended by the
army.
