Vote Wanted
BY T. SMITH

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
washington, Sept. 14.--(UP)-Sen.
Burton X. Wheeler, D., Mont, said
today he would vigorously resist any
attempts to delay Senate vote on
his bill to ban the drafting Of pre-
Pearl Harbor fathers.
I'm going to insist on q vote at
the earliest opportunity" Wheeler
told reporters.
Wheeler said he would not agree
to plans Of Senate Democratic Lead
or Alben w. Barley Of Kentucky
to delay Q vote on the bill, now on
the Senate calendar, until military
leaders can present new estimates
Of their Inanpower needs.
Wheeler charged that the army
is the greatest "waster Of manpow.
or In the country"
He said the transportation system
Is begged down because Of unneces-
sary troop movements and colleges
are FILLED with boys in the army
that are not being used"
I'VE also have camps all over the
country filled with me who are ly-
ing around doing nothing and who
are anxious to get to the fighting
fronts" he said. "Tinally, the
army Is releasing able bodied men
Of 80 who could be retained for
ground work instead Of breaking I'D
American homes"
He pointed out that Canada al
ready has announced plans for de.
mohilizing some Of It's combat
troops.
Chairman Andrew J. May, D., KY,
OF the House military affairs COM
mittee also said the Canadian &C.
ton was ian 1rrefutable argument
against drafting fathers" In this
country.
Rep. James w. wadsworth, r., N.
z, co-author Of the AUSTIN Wads-
worth National Service Bill, said
OF the Canadian announcement that
he could not "see disbanding Of
armies at this time in the war"
Wheelers notice he would fight
for early action came as q proposal
Tor q moratorium on drafting Of
fathers until Congress ct least con-
ducts q new manpower survey, APP
peared to be gaining strength.
Meanwhile reports increased that
President Roosevelt soon would en-
ter the nlanpower picture by recon.
mending national labor draft.
