WASHINGTON, June 1-(P)
Next three months may de-
termine whether military auth
critics ask Congress TO draft
youths of l8 and 10.
Unofficial proposals to lower
the minimum Selective Service
age from 20 to ID years have
aroused some strong opposition
in Congress and informed legiS-
lators said il was likely a deci-
sion would be postponed until
fall brings a clearer picture of
how long the war will last.
Senator George (D-Ga) said
he believed a more intelligent
judgment of the question could
be made after the summer mill
tary campaigns.
IF it appears that the war
will last through l943 and may
run through 1914 or even l945,
| have no doubht that the army
will want to drop the age limit
to 49," the Georgian said. I'm
der present conditions, l would
hesitate to draft ID year Odds
and would not want to make 10
year Odds subject to compulsory
military service unless it is abb
solutely necessary"
The war department has not
masked its desire to get young
er men into the army, but Sena-
tor Taft (R-Ohio) said he had
been supplied figures which in
Dictated that the army could
build up to total of between
100000 and 100000 men
within the next year without
taking either 10 year olds or
men with families.
Approximately 26,0 0 0, 0 0 0
men from 20 through "A have
been registered thus far. OF
these, more than 100000 are
expected to be classified event
ually for active service, includ-
ing those already in the army.

Sheriff
to Test
Firearms

Persons desiring TO register
guns at the sheriff's office must
bring along at least one cart
ridge TO be used in the weapon
so that the firearm may be
tested TO see whether it is in
working order, ii was announc-
ed today.
Cornelius Gudenau, deputy
sheriff in charge of the county
bureau of Identification, has
made arrangements for the eff
fective testing of such weapons
and records of the tests will be
forwarded to the state police at
Lansing, the FBI and other law
enforcement agencies.
A marked increase in the de-
mand for gun registration has
followed in the wake of the war,
with hundreds of men being us
ed in the guarding of defense
industries. Last year between
400 and 500 guns were regis
tered here and this year it has
not been uncommon to have six
guns brought in for registration
in a day

foreSeen in an exchange of
messages today between Lieut.
Gen. Henry H. Arnold, United
States air force chief, and Air
Marshall A. T. Harris, chief of
the Raj bomber command.
Arnold, who has been con-
ferring on joint operations here,
wrote to Harris yesterday:
GAS commanding general of
the United States Army air
force l desire to extend my con-
gratulations to you, your staff
and combat crews for the great
raid last Saturday night on
Cologne.
1T was bold in conception
and superlative in execution.
Please convey to your officers
and men my admiration for
their courage and skill and say
that our air forces hope very
soon to fly and fight beside
them in these decisive blows
against our common enemy
Harris replied:
"All ranks of the bomber
command are highly apprecia-
tive of your message. We, too,
look forward to the time now SO
near when the United States
Army air force, which already
so CALAMITY and effectively
share their burden in the Far
East and elsewhere, commence
operation at our size in this
theater of war.
1--WE are supremely confident
that with their aid our common
enemies - faced with certain
devastation of their own land
will have cause bitterly to rue
the day on which they forced
our two countries into war"
