MAYDRAFT PHYSICAL
 DETECTIVES
Standards 10 Be Lowered Is Indication in
 Hearing

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Many of the more than 2.800,000 men re- jected from Army service on ac- count of physical disqualifications may be reclaimed as a result of lowered standards and the delay ing of induction of fathers.
 In testimony before the House Military Affairs Committee, it was revealed that Selective Service Di- rector Lewis B. Hershey's testi- mony last month on the War Man power Commissions appropriation bill brought out that lowered Navy standards might postpone the draft ing of fathers
 Since then, the Navy has dropped it's requirements, although official indications have been that the drop is not sufficient to produce enough reclaimed" men.
 War Manpower Commissioner Paul " McNutt said recently that the armed force by the end of this month will have 9,200,o00 men toward the top planned strength of lo,900,000 by the end of this year and that Army inductions may be cut by about 50 percent after next December.

The Butter Shortage.
We shipped 100000 pounds of
butter to Russia last year, and we
have agreed 20 ship ten times as
much butter (l70,OO0, 900 pounds) to
Russia this year. We have today
less than 100000 pounds of butter
in storage in this country, which
can be considered an all time low.
American cows will have to work
overtime this year to step up butter
production or else the American
housewife will be cut short. It is
intimated she will soon be required
to buy pound of cleo with every
pound of butter she buys. When we
adapt ourselves to eating oleo as a
substitute for butter during the war,
what effect will that have upon the
sale of butter after the war?

This new Congress is both an in

ence of spirit and action. All must
legislation" has disappeared. Con-
gress is once again asserting its right
to draft its own laws, and seems
determined to recapture the powers
it has so supinely surrendered dur
ing the past decade. Keep your eyes
upon the Seventy Eighth Congress.
