made after a fair hearing on SUBJ
stantial evidence and no error of
law occurred which operated to de-
prive petitioner of due process of

worth, R., N Y, introduced the DlllS
simultaneously.
Their proposed national war SER
vice act of 1943 would function
through the existing local draft
boards. Men or women civilians thus
chosen for war work shall be liable
to contribute b. personal service
to the war effort in noncombat-
ant capacity, according to his or
her abilities" the bill states. 1t
would give the government author
ity to put registered and liable men
and women on any job, anywhere,
any time, subject to the limitation
of the registrant's abilities.
The President" the bill states,
shall also specify the quotas to be
supplied, the qualifications desired
in the persons to be selected, and,
50 far as practicable, the places to
which the persons selected will be
assigned"
PERSONS EXEMPT
Among persons exempted from
selective service war work would be
women caring for children, aged
re. sons or i'll persons and any wom-
an during pregnancy.
In a press conference, Wadsworth
and Austin said one purpose Of their
bill was to eliminate coercion OF
civilian workers through the mill
tary selective service program.
For instance" Wadswortl said,
there is the recent order of the
war manpower commission for all
men between l3 and 38 to get into
essential jobs or the armed services.
Some may approve, but it was not
contemplated by congress that the
selective service act should do any
thing more than recruit an army
and navy.
1T was never contemplated as a
club to send men into the army
CT else
EQUAL TREATMENT
Austin said the new bill would
establish equal treatment for all"
and government by consent of the
governed"
On the basis of previous accom-
pliShment, the hackers of this bill
are likely TO obtain its enactment.
Substantially the same elements
came forward in 1910 with the first
Selective service act and, without
administration endorsement until
the battle was half over, promoted
it SO effectively that it became a
law.
The American Legion announced
that it would join forces with the
citizens committee in advocating the
bill
1t is unusual for so important a
measure to come before a Demo-
cratic congress under Republic, n
auspices, but that strategy worked
we'll on the Selective service act in
1910. WadSWorth sponsored that bill
in the house and in the senate it
was offered by notable anti-NeW
Dealer, former Sen. Edward r.
Burke, D., Neb. The Burke Wads-
worth combination may have been a
factor in causing the administration
to hesitate before endorsing peace
time draft.
FIRST ENDORSEMENT
The first and most notable en-
dorsement of registration of all men
and women for war work was by
Mrs. Eleanor roosevelt in her COL
umn, My Day" on March 10. She
wrote:
I've come to one very clear de-
cision, namely that all of us-men
in the services, and men and women
at home-should be drafted and told
what is the job we are to do"

Cut in Chicago

Coke Co. to reduce its rates to
Chicago consumers by $3,437, ,955 a
year. John d. Biggs, chairman,

80 days to file new schedules.
This reduction reflects a similar
reduction in rates granted TO the
company as a result of the COM
mission case against Natural Gas
Pipeline Co. of America, affirmed
by the United States Supreme
Court last March.
Under the revised schedules,
Peoples Gas will still have earn

Some businessmen take the
view that a distinction should

manufacturers of new and eX-
perimental war materials and
producers Of staple items. II IS
argued that the makers of staple
items know their costs. On the
other hand. where new items
are produced experimentally,
there is naturally some unCer-
tainty toward costs. and. as the
makers get into quantity pro-
duction. he usually finds ways
