WA Plans To Boost
Supplies Of Butter

WASHINGTON, July 81 Up -
With some areas reporting short
ages of butter, the War Food Ad-
ministration took steps today to
increase civilian supplies during
August.
It lowered from 40 to 30 per cent
the amount of butter which pro-
ducers must set aside for military
and other requirements. The re-
mainder may be released for cl-
william distribution under the ra-
tioning program.
Officials estimated that this re-
duction in government require
ments would increase the August
civilian supply about 16,0o0,O0
pounds. Government reservation
quotas for September and October
had previously been set at 80 per
cent of production. These quotas
were not changed.

Taft Urges Separation Of
Men Over Thirty From
Younger Ones

WASHINGTON, July 81 Up -
Predicting early action by Con-
gress to overhaul the Selective
Service System, Senator Taft (R-
Ohio wrote Draft Director Lewis
B. Hershey today uring the separa-
ton Of men over 30 years Of age
and those younger into different
draft classifications.
Taft told an interviewer he felt
confident that demands for halt
in the drafting Of fathers, linked
with indications of an easing off
in selective service quotas, would
bring the whole question of re-
assessment of the present induc-
ton system before Congress short
ly after it reconvenes in Septem-
ber from a summer recess.
In his letter to Hershey, Taft
said he believed that if division
were made at the 80 year age
level, it probably would not be ne
cessary to draft those over 30 in
the future.
IT feel very strongly" the Ohio
an told Hershey, "that men. OF
thirty and younger should be draft
ed before the older men,"
Taft listed six reasons for the
proposed change in the present sys-
tenn, under which draft calls go
out to men up to 38, with mar
ried men being taken after the
quotas of single men are exhaust

LARKIN AWARDED
LEGION OF MERIT
Honored For Outstanding
Service With Marine Air
Units In Pacific

CHERRY POINT, July 31-R-
Brig. Gen. Claude A. Larkin, COM
manding the Third Marine Aircraft
Wing at the Marine Air Station
here, has received the Legion Of
Merit award for outstanding serv-
ice with Marine aviation units in
the Pacific, it was announced here
today.
AS senior Naval aviator for Ma
rine aviation in the Hawaiian area
in 1941-42, he trained and organiz-
ed and embarked Marine aviation
squadrons which defended Wake
Island and participated in the Bat
ties OF Midway and Solomons Is
lands.
The citation accompanying the
award said General Larkin's Ma
rine aircraft group % boldly in
tercepted heavily escorted enc
my bombing force, disrupting their
attack and preventing serious dam
age to island installations during
the Battle of Midway. The group s
skill was an essential factor in
the unyielding defense of Midway"
A native of Garfield, Wash, and
a permanent resident of Portland,
Ore, General Larkin enlisted in
the Marine corps as private be-
fore World War I and became a
second lieutenant in 1917. At the
outbreak of the present war he

''2. Men under thirty are not 60
ing to be comfortable staying at
home even if they are married.
In fact, many have already volun-
teered.
SO. Men under thirty haven t
reached responsible positions in
the various civilian activities in
which they are engaged and can
much more easily and with less
sacrifice give up these activities.
This is particularly true of young
professional men.
"a. Men under thirty are of less
value to their employers because
they have not reached the key posi-
tions where experience counts.
"5. Men under thirty have not
built up the standard of expense
which older men have assumed.
This means that their families will
not have to make the severe read
iustments which have to be made
by many men over thirty.
IS. In the case of men under
thirty, it is much more likely that
their wives will have families still
fully able to support them, to
which they may return temporari-

Milan and Genoa remained res

Attempt 10 Prohibit
Wartime immigration
Expected in House
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press
Legislation to repeal the Chi
neSe Exclusion Act was steered
today into the critical amend
ment stage, with signs that op-
ponents would try to stop all
immigration to this country for
the duration of the war.
Chairman Dickstein of the Immi-
grafton Committee said he expected
amendments to halve present imni-
grant quotas as well as to bar all
immigration.
The House wrangled for hours
yesterday over the bill that would
allow los Chinese a year to enter
the United States and become citi-
zens.
Proponents declared the bill
would demonstrate United States
Chinese friendship, providing a
foundation which would help estab-
lish democracy in the Orient after
the war. They said it also would
help counteract Japanese propa-
ganda that the exclusion laws show
an insincerity toward the Chinese.
Representative Gossett, Democrat,
Of Texas, defined the measure as the
most inexpensive investment In
world peace that had yet been pro-
posed"
Opponents told the House it
would be the beginning of a break
down Of United States immigration
laws.
They said it would not accomplish
It's intended purpose-to place Chi
nese on an immigration basis equal
with European countries-but rather
would create added inequalities by
basing Chinese immigration on race
rather than on nativity.
They referred specifically to a
provision which would limit IS per
cent of the Chinese quota to Chinese
residents of China. They main
tanned that immigration laws would
have to be overhauled after the wal,
and this should not be started now
In "piecemeal fashion"
Economic arguments centered
about contentious voiced to the I'm
migration Committee by the Ameri-
can Legion. the Veterans of Foreign
Wars and the American Federation
of Labor that immigration of Chi
nese would take away jobs from
returning servicemen. Supporters
OF the bill replied that by creating
an additional market in China for
American products employment in
this country would be aided.
