Wheeler Firm
on Draft Issue
Threatens TO Coll
Congress Back

BELTON, Mont, Aug. SIP
Unless a proposal TO induct
pre-Pearl Harbor fathers after
Oct. ! is withdrawn, Senator
Wheeler (D-Mont) says he will
request that Congress be recon
vened Immediately TO consider
legislation TO override the draft
d receive.
The Montanan, mentioning at
his Lake Mcdonald home, an
nounced he would telegraph
Paul V. McNutt. war manpower
commissioner today, demanding
that the proposal be abandoned.
He termed the directive con-
trary to congressional will.
Should his request go unheed-
ed, Wheeler said ne would wire
Senator Barkbey (D-Ky) and
Rep. Mccormack (D-M a s.,
Senate and House Majority
leaders, and ask that Congress
summer recess be terminated
Immediately.
The Senate Military Affairs
Committee has approved his
own bill TO exempt fathers from
the draft until Jan. !, 1914. The
House-approved Kilday bill, TO
defer fathers until all single men
within a state have been eX-
hauSted. reflects congressional
sentiment on the father draft,
Wheeler said.
The directive applies TO pre-
Pearl Harbor fathers l8 through
81, without distinction" as 10
the number or ages of depend
ent children.
A decent respect for the
opinion of the legislative branch
of our government would
prompt poStponement of this de-
cision until the Senate recon-
venes next month"; Wheeler
said.

lice detachment, related the
story Of the affair. both Sheriff
Jacob +. Theut and Prosecutor
Wilbur F. Held today declared
that they are now convinced
that the raid actually took place.
DELAYED REPORT
Doubt had at first been en-
gendered by the fact that the
victim had not bothered TO re-
port the incident TO Port Huron
police but had rather, waited
several hours after her release
by the MP before telling Ma
comb county authorities about
it. She explained today that
she had sought to Shun publicity
but had been convinced by the
MP that the matter should be
reported.
Mrs. Cool, who was not mo-
Tested by her assailants, was
found by the MP visitor, off
duty, when he called at her
apartment, 938 Wall street, a
scant quarter-hour after the
trio of invaders had left.
DEMANDED POLICY
She said that they had forced
their way into her apartment
and demanded a $4,000 life in
Surance policy on the life of a
man she had known in Albu-
querque, New Mex, several
years ago. She said the policy
was not in her possession but
that the men insisted upon OBJ
tanning it, She said that one
of them twisted her arm and
kicked her in the side and that
virtually all of her clothing was
torn off during the struggle.
They threw her on the bed and
pinioned her hands and ankles
with rope and handkerchief.
She said second handkerchief
had been forced into her mouth,
serving as gag.
Mrs. Cool, a pretty redhead,
is the mother of one year old
child, Jean, who is now in the
custody of her hero father who
is stationed at Dalhardt Field,
Texas. She said that she has
started divorce pro e G d n g $
against her husband. She had
made her home in Mount Glenn
ems until recently.
The victim was TO be ques-
toned further on the matter to-
day by Capt. Dan O'Leary Of
the Port Huron Police Depart
ment and by Assistant Prosecu-
tor Eugene BergSman, of st.
Clair county.

American debut in 1925 as soloist
with the Philadelphia Orchestra
under Leopold Stokowski, whose in
tellectual awareness and sense Of
adventure is shared by the violinist.
Also like StokoWSki, SZigeti includes
in his repertoire works from the
earliest periods to the present and
constantly seeks out and presents
new music. Szigeti's 1897 recital
series, called three centuries of
violin music" is credited with be-
ginning a vogue for recital "cycles"

for the first time in this country,
the 18 Mozart sonatas in a New
York recital series.
Prokofieff, whose ID Major Con-

miles and then embarked on a ship
which was to sail to Veracruz.
| The capture Of the harbor proved
simple matter as there were sew

however. there remained walled

Lee was given the task Of prepar-

from the warships. The cannon were
taken ashore and trenches were cut
nearby. Some of the men who were
to man the battery grumbled about
digging bitches instead of fighting.
but later they were very glad to
escape Mexican rifle bullets and
cannon balls.
When Lee ordered the battery to
open fire, it did more damage than
any other American battery-in
fact, more than all others combined.
The walls of Veracruz were broken
down, and sections Of the city
blasted. After three days Of fighting,
the MeXicanS surrendered.

"Where is the Mexican Army?"

Where is the Mexican Army?"
That question was asked time and
again during the early months Of
the war between the United States
and Mexico, which broke out in the
spring of 1846.
A force of Americans under Gen.
Wool was stationed at Encandata,
near the borderline between Texas
and Mexico, in December, 1846. Sud-
denly a report came that a large
Mexican army was marching down
to attack the Americans.
There were no telephone lines in
those days, so information could not
be obtained in that way. The tele-
graph had been invented a few years
before, but Wool and his men had
no such help in their field head
quarters. The only way to locate
the Mexicans was through scouting.
The general asked for volunteers,
and a 39-year-old captain from Vir-
ginia offered his services. His name
was Robert E. Lee. and he was an
engineer. His skill had been of
value in building bridges while the
army had advanced toward the bor-
der
With only Mexican guide. Lee
went into the foothills of a noun
tain range. After the two had ridden
many miles, they caught sight of
campfires on a hill. Darkness had
fallen, but the rays of the moon
showed objects which looked like
tents.
Many a scout would have hur-
ried back to announce that he had
found the Mexican army, but not
Robert E. Lee! He wanted to make
sure. His guide was nervous, fearing
that he might be captured and shot
as spy. So the captain told him to
wait while he went on alone.
A closer view proved that the
tents were small groups OF sheep
and that the bonf1res had been
lighted by herdsmen. Lee talked
with the herdsmen, and they told
him the Mexican army was on the
other side of the mountains.
A full report was given to Gen.
Wool. Then Lee, after only three
hours of rest, rode again to scout
the enemy, this time with a cavalry
escort. The Mexican army was To-
Gated more definitely, and the party
returned to camp.
No battle followed Immediately
but the incidents related show some
thing of the thorough work which
Robert E. Lee was ready to do. He
was the son Of Gen. Henry Lee, the

few wits, I called aunty at grand
mothers and gave her the exciting
news. Then I sat thinking over the
past half year. In February my own
war manpower commissioner had
left for the Capital and title mile
long. Then began race with ttme
and politics. In. May the rest OF
us knew we were going to enliyen
Washington with our presence; we
even handed In our rent notice.
But by the middle OF June we
were deep in despair. The appoint
ment had not been confirmed. We
didn't know whether to camp on the
White House grounds or make up
our minds to spend the rest of our
lives in st. Louis. And then July 8
1 think the Senate must have known
it was the Knots wedding anniver-
sary and decided they needed a gift!
My sister came downstairs, still
sleepy, her hair in pins and tied with
a red kerchief.
Get upstairs this minute!" cried.
What if reporter sees you'll"
Look" she said soothingly, "sit
here on the steps and tell your sister
all about it."
Guess what" I answered, sitting
on the bottom step. Its been con-
firmed! Isn't 1t wonderful"
You mean it?" She dashed up
stairs. I picked up my dust cloth
and began to dust to the tune of
I"California, Here I Come'-only, of
course, it was Washington.
When sister came back downstairs,
we discussed what we were going to
take with us. First of all, which
dog? OF course. papa would want
Ganny, the collie, but mama would
prefer Little Bits, the Semi-wire-
haired. They were both good watch
dogs. but why would we need a
watchdog with the FBI in Wash
ington, and lot Of Army and Navy
intelligence men besides? Why not
trade them in on q cat?
Next, we discussed our china and
glassware. Our china Is pretty much
the worse for wear, and. anyhow, If
we were going to move, mama would
have to buy some. 1t just wasn't
good luck for the Knots to move
without a lot Of china to break. AS
for the glassware, the situation was
pretty we'll in hand
Then we planned what We were
going to wear on the train or plane,
or whatever. BY the time that topic
was worn thin, I was going to look
like Jane Withers, sister like Kath-
arine Hepburn and mama-well, like
mama.
That evening we had an outdoor
supper at grandmother's, and did we
make 1t a celebration! When mama
came in from her office, we told her
the glorious news. We learned later
that grandmother had beaten us to
it, but mama can really act, because
she managed to appear surprised.
Well, we soon got the situation in
hand. We might have to camp on
the Capitol Grounds, but why not?
We could use some more experience.
Mr.. Smith would just have to move
over, the Knots were going to
Washington!
