Proponents Undismoyed by Dual
Setboeks in House Committee

In the first vote two weeks
ago, the committee rejected the
all-out abatement proposal, IS
to 10, with Gearhart then bal
loting with his Republican col
leagues.
The committee may take up
today the two compromise pro-
posals offered by Chairman
Doughton. One would apply
the much softer 194l rates and
exemptions to 1912 income, and
the other abate one-half of the
1913 tax obligations.
Current collection machinery,
including a 20 per cent with
holding against the taxable por-
tions of wages and salaries, was
approved by the committee yes
terday, to be effective July l..
But the big issue - abatement

WAC Recruiting
Lays in District
Gen. Aurond Expresses
His Disappointment

CHICAGO, March 9 - up -
The Sixth Service Command is
disappointed in the rate of re-
cruitment of WAACs.
Mai Gen. II. S. Aurand. head
of the Observation-Disclosures iscon-
sin command, reported at a staff
meeting yesterday that the area
fell far short of expectations for
the first three months of this
year.
About 1000 WAACs were to
have been recruited but only -
857 were supplied, General Au-
rand said.
I'VE should be receiving about
200 WAACs a day" he said, but
instead we had only 100 alto
gether for the first six days of
March"
General Aurand reported that
Al 28 men were indicted into
service during February and
1864 were rejected. He said
the three states had furnished 90
per cent of the men requested
and that the 35 per cent rejec-
ton rate compared to normal
% per cent.
The General said 3,9l7 of the
inductees were taken for limited
service, adding that he was dis
appointed that the February in
duction of such men was no
higher than January even in the
face of stricter regulations.
General Aurand said he was
anxious to increase the rate of
replacement of general service
enlisted men with limited serv-
ice men. The command now has
1925 enlisted men, including
500 for limited service.
Il want to bring this limited
service figure up to 10000 by
the end of March," he said, land
have it $4,000 as soon there
after as possible. This will re-
lease about 5000 more men for
combat duty since my organiza-
ton has a complement of about
10000"

homes sooner than generally ex'
pected: The number of rejection.

running more than 40 per cen,
of those examined, the War
Manpower Commission says.
Here's the record:
Approximately one-half of the
first 100000 registrants exam
ined were rejected for physical,
mental or educational reasons.
Of those rejected as physically
or mentally unfit, nearly 81 per
cent were turned down for den
tai defects, nearly Ia per cent
because of their eyes.
LOWER STANDARDS
Then, early last year, the
Army lowered its eyesight and
dental standards. The rejection
figure for the period of May
through December was a shade
over "a per cent.
The new increase is attributed
to a trend to older men, includ-
ing married men without chill
dren.
A special committee studying
the manpower problem for Pres
ident Roosevelt is reported au-
thoritatively to have agreed that
the present military goal TO-
100000 men in the armed forces
by the end of this year-must be
retained.
And local boards have been
told to reclassify men in the 49,

aim of this move is said to be to
get more of these men into
farming, the order which sus-
pended drafting of men of those
ages could be revoked at any
