Drafting Of Women Into Army For Coastal
 Defense Work Looms

WASHINGTON - The Capital in Wartime.
 Almost as soon as this is written a bill may be speeding toward the White House to bring women into the army.
 The WAAC lWomen's Army Aux Hilary Corps) will probably start of with something like 12.500 women. working principally as coastal air defense workers. stenOgfaphers. teIe= phone operators, chauffeurs, etc. But that will just be the beginning From England, our army has learned that many of the duties can be per formed by women just as well, il not better. than by men.
 The Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers (Mass.) bill has had some critics But one thing that practically clinehed the idea that women would come into the arny was the insis= tenee of Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff that l regard the. passage of this bill at an early date as of considerable importance
 Pointing out that Congress had NOT failed to give the army prac-. tically everything t had asked for. in recent months, the general con- tinued There are at the present. moment (women) volunteers being. employed for critical phases of the. aircraft warning service. on which the security of the coast lines Of the. United States depends. We are. deeply appreciative of the work be-. ing done by these volunteers. but I am convinced that in such vital mat. ters the uncertainties of purely vol. unteer personnel are a dangerous risk"
 Under present plans, women bel tween the ages Of 21 and 45. will be acceptable. They may be married or single They will get ordinaryI priYates pay and up, depending up-I on rank. Unless they live at army cantonments, there will be addition-i al subsistence pay.
 In spite of all the setbacks that Civilian Defense has taken in Wash ington-and some of them have been the worst kind of comic opera stuff nearly 49,00O persons have vol unteered for the work and moreI than 15,OOO have already beenI through their training courses.

 Washingtonians who know theI Philippines say that old Emilia Az uinaldo. the insurrecto, in makingI his purported appeal to the Filipinos to lay down their arms against Ja-I pan and calling upon General Mae-I Arthur to surrender, either has goneI soft in the head or is being dupedI by threats or wild promises from the Japanese invaders.
 Although the old rebel has neverI ceased to work for Philippine inde-I pendence Something the UnitedI States was handing them), those who have seen him in recent years say he lived in the past and seemed almost grateful for the chance the Americanos had given him for glory and immortality. A week after the war broke out, he strongly repudi- ated any desire to have disgruntled or Fifth COlumnist Filipinos look to him for leadership.

 Hitler's generals ought to see the girls walking through MoscoW's mi nus 40 degree temperatures to and from the dance parties. Beneath their dresses they wear heavy ski trousers, high felt boots and heavy shoes, and under their arms they carry bundles.

 Not Much Drinking
 You don't see anyone drinking. However, in Moscow you don't see much to drink these days. Anyhow, there is plenty of gaity. And there is plenty of variety, as well, in the costumes.

Chicago Grain
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Staff Writer.

CHICAGO. June 24.-With buying
sentiment chilled by war news and
uncertainty regarding legislation
vltally affecting grains, now pending
in Congress. wheat prices drifted
fractionally lower today partly as
a result Of small-scale hedging op-
erations in connection with the new
crop movement. Later they rallied.
Receipts of cash wheat continued
to run in excess of arrivals a week
ago, but were we'll below volume at
this time last year. Traders said
this reflected tagging new-crop
movement, due to wet weather and
scarcity of storage space Favorable

cereal, prices Of which were about

Coal Dealers Urged
To Take More Interest
In U. 5. Regulations
Federal Attorney Warns
Government Supervision
Will Be Increased
Py the Associated Press.

EN LEt hSsOCldleO riess.
CHICAGO, June 24.-Retail coal
dealers were urged by Arnold Levy.
general counsel for the Bituminous
Coal Division, to take an increasing
interest in the formulation OF Gov
ernment regulations for their in
dustry.
Before the third interstate coal
conference and eighth annual meet
ing of the American Retail Coal
Association. Mr.. Levy declared in a
prepared address:
Government supervision of orci-
nary business processes, no doubt,
will increase rather than decrease
for the duration, as the need for
action in aid of our victory program
becomes apparent
Mr.. Levy told the retailers that
activities of the Bitur1inous Coal
Division had been handicapped by
lack of interest and cooperation
on the part of the coal industrys
ultimate marketerS.
with a few major exceptions,
he said, "the retail dealers, as an
industry, have refrained from ac-
tive partnership in this regulatory
effort which, by its very nature, is
of vital concern to them"
The attorney said the bituminous
coal industry was engaged in "a
struggle for survival with competi-
tive fuels" and added:
"A striking illustration Of how
integral a role is played by the retail
dealer in the complex of bituminous
coal production and distribution is
provided by his participation in the
stocking campaign now being car
ried on by the Office of Solid Fuels
Co-ordinator for War.
"AS far as domestic coal is con-
cerned, the retail dealer is a neces-
sary link in the chain of coal move
ment from mines to yards and from
the yards to the consumers bins.
The task of effecting that move
ment could not be accomplished
without the wholehearted cooper
alton and participation Of the retail
industry"

Amendments Get
House Units 0. K.
Banking Committee
Approves Three-Point
Reeroupine Plan
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Banking Committee
unanimously approved today a bill
to amend the Federal Reserve Act
by providing, among other things.
for a regrouping of Federal Reserve
banks for the purpose of electing
their five representatives on the
Federal Open Market Committee
The regrouping plan provides that
a representative of the New York
Bank be a member of the commit
tee at all times. The other four
would come from the Boston -Phila-
delphia Richmond banks, the Cleve-
land-Chicago banks, the Atlanta
Dallas-St. Louis banks, and the
Minneapolis Kansas City-San Fran
cisco banks.
Under present law. the Boston,
New York banks jointly elect a rep
resentative, the effect being that
Boston has had none.
The legislation also authorizes the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System to change the Re-
serve requirements of member
banks in central Reserve cities
without necessarily changing the
requirements of banks in other
cities. Existing law prohibits a
change unless it is made applicable
to all member banks.
A third proposed change would
repeal a provision Of existing law
prohibiting member banks from
making new loans or paying divi-
dends while their reserves are de-
ficient. retaining in the law. how
ever, the power of the Board OF
Governors to prescribe penalties for

Midwestern Oil Men
Prefer Price Boost
To Federal Subsidy
Payment Might Give U. S.
Tighter Control Over
Industry, Leaders Soy
By the Associated Press.


TULSA, Okla, June 24.-The
idea of a subsidy for oil companies,
forced by price ceilings to suffer
losses, is not we'll received by many
Midwestern executives.
They feel the only answer to
losses is higher prices for products.
Many companies, especially those
cooperating in the East, have
watched their transportation costs
mount rapidly and some of them
are dipping heavily into the red in
marketing products. Transporta-
ton of crude and refined products
by tank car costs several times as
much as by tank ship and pipe line.
Some executives feel that should
subsidy be instituted it might be
difficult to terminate it after the
war. Payment of a subsidy. they
added. would tend to give the Fed
eral Government a greater control
of the oil business.
Russell B. Brown, counsel for the
Independent Petroleum Association
Of America, declared that the senti-
ment of the association membership
is generally that this matter should
be taken care of through price ad-
justmentS."
He said the feeling is rather gen.
eral in the association that the pro-
visions of the price subsidy bills are
too broad and that the powers dele
gated under them might prove en-
barrassing at some future date"
Market men here say that if Price
Administrator Henderson approves
an increase in gasoline prices along
the East Coast of as much as 3
cents a gallon the increase would go
far to correct the situation.

Stocks Lose Ground
In One Of Quietest
Sessions Of Year
Market Followers Study
Axis Coins and Await
Action on Tax Bill
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, June 24.-Stocks lost
a little ground today in one of the
quietest sessions of the year.
Until near the closing hour minor
fractional gains and declines were
about evenly distributed. The scales
were tipped in favor of the minus
side by slow retreat in oils and in
dustrial specialties. Coppers and a
few aircrafts were resistant. Motors
were mostly little in arrears.
Dealings approximated 250,000
shares for the five hours.
Inaction was held by brokers to
reflect a general unwillingness Of
market followers to take on new
commitments in the face Of un-
palatable war reports and tax bill
imponderables. At the same time
these factors produced no appre-
ciable selling.
Bond Prices Mixed.
Bond prices moved uncertainty

AW0NDERFuL BIRD IS THE PELICAN

man of the feathered kingdom.
To the bottom of the long
beak, nature attached a pouch of
skin that drops down six inches
and enables the bird TO hold more
than two quarts of water and
fish in a single gobble. With
this handy net, he can let the
water spill out without losing
his catch. When not distended.
this elastic sac draws up under
the bill.
Whenever he wants TO, the
pelican can turn this pouch in
side out, handily ejecting any
stones he might have scooped up
when sweeping his bill through
the water.
This queer beak also serves as
a feeding tray and high chair
for baby pelicans- for, by an
other queer trick of nature, the
young, born naked and blind, are
fed on predigested fish until they
are eight weeks old. T e mother,
after eating, regurgitates her
food into this pouch, and then
her young offspring waddle
right up to the tray.
Although the pelican can't
lift his beak up in the air like
other birds, he can swing ii al
