Mrs. Luce Analyses
Her Labor Draft Bill
In Forum Address

Citing as "cruel discrimination
against the servicemen of the Ma.
tion the absence Of legal response.
bility by deferred men of draft age
to aid the war effort, Representa-
tive Clare Boothe Luce of Con.
necticut last night, offered the draft
labor bill she introduced In Con-
greSs a month ago as possible So
luton to the manpower problem. $
Mrs. Luce spoke on the National
Radio Forum sponsored by The
Star and broadcast on a national
network from Station WMAL.
The manpower problem itself Is
tie proof that there is today no
equality of sacrifice between the
bcys who are taken into the serv-
ICES and the men who are deferred
from combat Mrs. Luce declared
To-day a man who is physically fit
In certain respects is required by
the law of our land to defend his
country against the enemy-while
any man with minor physical dis
qualification is relieved Of any legal
IcSptQlSlUlllty w w So
Purpose of Bill.
Mrs. Luce said the purpose, OF the
bill was to correct this distinction, to
frame into law the principle that
every man between 18 and As should
hencefcrth be equally liable under
the law to defend his country in
time of war, according to his mental
and physical capacities, and that
deferment of a man of fighting age
should not relieve him from this
patriotic liability"
Any man who is already working
In an essential war effort, she went
on, would not be affected by the bill
as it refers only to deferred men
not yet doing essential work.
according to the provisions of
the bill," she said, these men are
called to the defense of their country
on the home front-that is to say,
they are called into the Army and
Navy Maintenance Corps, which the
bill creates only when, as, if, and
where needed"
Furthermore, they are called into
this corps, just the way soldiers and
sailors are called-by the fair and
impartial selective service system"
Possible Strike Curb.
Mrs. Luce said she believed the
bill, now under study by the House
Military Affairs Committee, would
tend to prevent and stop strikes,
largely stop labor turnovers among
workers of draft age" and also help
to curtail the drafting of fathers"
AS a member of the Military
Affairs Committee, Mrs. Luce said
it had been increasingly impressed
on her by experts" that anything
that slows up production, whether
it be strike or a breakdown in
existing voluntary methods of get
ting manpower, ''is a bullet in the
back of boy at the front-a bullet
in the back marked made in Amer
lea" 1t was that conclusion, she
declared, which prompted her to in
troduce the bill.
Asked by Edward Boykin, who
conducted the program, what effect
the bill might have on proposed
legislation to draft pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers. Mrs. Luce said while such
legislation told the War Manpower
commissioner how manpower could
not be had, her bill would show what
can be done to get manpower.

UNRRA Experts Study
Question Of Agency's
Official Language
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. Is.
Thanksgiving was to get at least
passing nod here today as cabinet
ministers, premiers and experts
from 43 nations sat down to an old
fashioned turkey dinner-but kept
up their work through the holiday.
The Committee on Rules was due
to settle an extended argument over
the official language of the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration.
Early in the deliberations English
was adopted as the official Ian
guage.
Then, in the Rules Committee, the
Latin American countries were
voted down in move to have
Spanish ADOPTED as the second off,
cial language.
Next, the French delegation, dis
turbed by the fact that French ira
ditionally has been the worlds ac-
cepted diplomatic language, moved
to have French adopted.
Compromise Reached.
A compromise was reached. after
rumors of Joker resolutions" that
would have made even Amharic an
official language, which says:
English is the official language OF
UNRRA. Documents shall be trans
lated and circulated in French, as
well as in English.
Translation and circulation shall
be done in Spanish on the request
of any government, and the corre-
spondence between standing COM
mittees may be in French, ii it Is
deemed useful. <s
Nine member nations were named
to the UNRRA Regional Committee
to direct relief in the Far East, after
great deal of speculation as to
whether Russia would sit ON the
committee, since the nation is not
at war with Japan. --
The committee, as constituted
now, does not include the Soviets.
on the request Of their delegation.
The member nations which will sit
include China. Australia, New
Zealand, the Netherlands, France,
the United States. India, the Philip
pines and the United Kingdom, a
group which represents all of the in
terests in the Pacific area.
Responsibility for Alien People.
The question of UNRRA's respon.
sibility for Germans that have not
only settled in other countries, but
are living in the homes of nationals
forced to move elsewhere, finally
Was solved in a subcommittee con-
sidering the machinery for returning
home 21,000,000 displaced peoples
of Europe.
The worry over this amendment
was concerned with the wording
rather than the principle. European
delegates feared the reaction of
their compatriots still under Axis
domination should they hear that
UNRRA intended to expend either
supplies or money on enemy or ex-
enemy people.
The statement says that ''in order
to insure that the homes of United
Nations nationals that have been in
truded into or settled in by enemy
or ex-enemy subjects be returned
to their rightful owners" UNRRA
may properly undertake the return
of enemy subjects still in occupation.
UNRRA's Director General Her.
bert Lehman, in a first official an
nouncement concerning the work of
UNRRA, estimated that the initial
years administrative expenses, other
than relief supplies, would amount
to $4,000, 900, ending December 81,
1914.
The sum would cover salaries,
housing, officers and travel expense
for a staff OF approximately 1900
people.
