House Group Clarifies
Report on ki|day Bill !
Slight chonse Offsets :
War Chiefs Objections
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Military Affairs Com
mittee yesterday filed supplemental
report on the Kilday draft deferment
bill which the committee said would
Offset War Department objections to !,
the measure.
Scheduled for House consideration
this week., the bill sets UP draft de-
fernlent priorities and puts draft
quotas on Statewide instead Of a
local board basis. Single men with
out dependents would be called for
induction first, followed in order by
single men with dependents, mar
ried men without children, and
married men with children. IS
The supplemental report corrected
what the committee called "an in
accuracy" in the original report,
stating that men shall be inducted
in the order set out in the bill.
Instead, the committee explained,
the legislation intends to prescribe
only that men be called for induc-
ton" in that order.
The War Department contended
the original language would inter-
fere with administration of Selective
Service by permitting men in de-
ferred categories to resist induction
so long as men in prior groups had
not been inducted, though they had
been called for induction"
