House Passes
Compromise
18-19D Draft Bill
Curb Is Removed:
Quick Approval
By Senate Forecast
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
The House passed and sent to
the Senate today compromise
legislation lowering the draft age
from 20 to 18 years, after adopt
ing a conference report removing
a Senate requirement that teen
age selectees be given at least a
year of training before being sent
into combat.
The compromise. worked out ear
lier in the day by a Senate House
Conference Committee, will be acted
on by the Senate when it recon-
venes Thursday, and its quick ap-
proval by that body was forecast by
congressional leaders.
AS passed by the House, the COM
promise bill retained a provision for
the deferment of essential farm
workers and for exemption from
the draft of men who have passed
their 45th birthday, unless they con-
sent to induction.
Quota Provision Dropped.
1t eliminated a House requirement
that draft quotas be put on a State
wide instead of local board basis,
and modified the student deferment
provision to permit the deferment
of 18 and 10 year old high school
students who are called for induc-
ton during the last half of school
year, the deferment to expire at the
end of the academic year.
Selective Service and War De-
partment officials have estimated
the legislation would make avail
able for induction approximately
100000 youths whom the Army
desires as the nucleus for youth
full, hard-striking Army of 100000
men to be built up by the end of
l943.
The legislation, originally passed
by the House on october II, only a
few days after President Roosevelt
had requested it, was tied up for
weeks over amendments written in
by the Senate.
Rankin Motion Loses.
The conference agreement came
after the House had rejected by an
overwhelming vote yesterday a mo-
ton by Representative Rankin
Democrat, of Mississippi to instruct
its conferees to accept the training
amendment.
Elimination of this provision
cleared the way for expected speedy
final approval by Congress of the
legislation.
In approving the compromise,
which must be acted on by both
houses before it can be sent to
President Roosevelt for his consid-
Grafton, the joint committee agreed
to accept Senate amendment di-

to defer calling essential farm work.
ers into the armed forces.
Representative Short, Republican,
of Missouri one of the House con-
ferees, said that Majority Leader
Mccormack and Minority Leader
Martin had said the measure might
be taken up in the House today by
unanimous consent
Senator Gurney, Republican, of
South Dakota, author of the Sen
ate's teen-age draft bill, explained
the conference action to newspaper
men. When they thanked him,
Senator Gurney smiled and said:
Il hope the rest of the country
feels like saying Thank you,' too.
I know this will help in the con-
duct of the war"

There is no way to be sure. There are

work shaping the likeness OF this man.
Their decisions their actions, their very
words will decide what eventually
emerges from the mold. These people
are the postwar planners, and the boss
man of them all is Milo Perkins.
Perkins is executive director OF the
Board of Economic Warfare, and is re-
sponsible for the day-to-day decisions
which remake the world piecemeal as
the war goes along.
Perkins does not pretend to be the
man of tomorrow. He does believe ne Is

Came Up the Hard way.
His political enemies-and they are
legion-describe him as wild-eyed
dreamer intent on building new Ameri-

process.
His friends say he is progressive busl-
nessn1an with an interest in social reform
and a desire to serve his country.
The record shows that he started to
work at 19 in Milwaukee, where his
father was a dentist. With only high
school education, he came up the hard
way through salesmanship and manage
ment to partnership in Houston. Tex,
firm that gave him $20,0O0-a-year

The record places him as little

at large before his sudden appearance in
Government, and believer in CONNER
cial competition to the point that the
one economic experiment he has fathered
the food stamp plan of distributing
crop surpluses to the Nations needy
took care to include all the customary

If Milo Perkins is the average man OF

world will have little businessmen. 1t
will have homes in the country, with

likes to walk 1t will be cheerful place,
where man will want to sing; because
Perkins likes to sing. 1t will have its
quiet places, and its unhurried moments,
so that a man can play chess undis-

freedom, stimulating men to write books;
because Perkins likes to read books.
In the home. Perkins hopes the post

Premier TOTO OF Japan last week SAID
that the forces of his country were in
a position to invade India and Australia.
Perhaps those invasion tries will be
made in the future, but the japanese
emphasis now is being placed on the
old enemy, China. A desperate engage
ment was fought around Kinhwa, in
Chekiang Province. 1t was under siege
for days, but the Chinese belatedly ad-
mitted its fall as the week ended.
The Japanese assaulted Kinhwa Tues
day from Wulipao, miles from Kin
whas southern walls, but
Kinhwo were thrown back. Through
Siege out the week, however the
strength of the japanese
pressure grew. The Chinese reported
the Japs had 100000 troops for the
operation in Chekiang and found signs
they were preparing for another major
operation in Fukien Province, to the
south of Chekiang. Apparently, the
Japanese are using the island OF For
mosa as a base for the drives on the
Chinese maritime provinces.
A communiQue from Chungklng Weo-
nesday said the Japanese penetrated
Kwaingkitow, a suburb of Kinhwa. but
were quickly elected after hand-to-hand
fighting, with Jap loss of 4,50o men.
Late in the week the fighting spilled
over wide regions of Chekiang. Japs by
passed Kinhwa and went Is miles west
to the railway town Of Langyu. The
Japs, according to the Chinese, launched
10 futile attacks against Lanchi, 10 miles
northwest of Kinhwa. About 125 miles
east of Kinhwa and slightly south jap
anese warships appeared off Taichow
Bay Thursday and shelled Longkishan,
but were repulsed by Chinese fire.
Japan is out to beat China. which now
has all the United Nations for her Allies.
