WASHINGTON, April IT. Up -
Secretary of War Stimson, said
tonight the Army's acquisitions for
men have been consistent with
the job it has to do, in replying to
implied criticism" of Selective
Service uncertainties.
Stimson, commenting in a state
ment on the Army's changing
manpower requirements, said that
the method of calling men into the
service is such that complicated
estimate of needed manpower,
based on only one certain figure,
must stand up after time lag of
seven months.
Yet despite this lag, he said, the
average error between climates
and actual strength of the Army
was only 2 per cent.
"While a variation of 100000 be-
tween estimated and subsequent
actual strength appears very large
in newspaper headline, it is
less than per cent of the tota
strength of the Army" he said.
Under the circumstances, 2 pei

PRIMARY VOTING
LAWS WIPED OUT

COLUMBIA, April 17.-(R-With
the intent of preventing Negroes
from voting in the Democratic pri-
maries, a special session of the
general assembly today passed
hundreds of bills repeating pri-
mary laws on the statute books.
The special session was called
by Gov. DIN B. Johnston, at the
request of party officials, after
the Supreme Court of the United
States ruled recently that Negroes
could vote in the Texas primaries,
which are similar to South Caro-
lina's.
The Democratic primary in
South Carolina, a one-party state,
is equivalent to the election.
The legislation ground out by the
special session is designed to pre-
clude any legal action to permit
Negroes to vote in the primaries
1t will permit political parties tc
make their own rules governing
primaries.
The House today applauded a
speech by Rep. John Long OF IN
ion who said he was willing te

BOARD APPROVES
MILEAGE BOOST
Welfare Department Work.
ers Get 7 Cents Per
Mile, Not S

The County Commission voted
Monday afternoon to allow tenn
porary increase in the mileage al
lowance for case workers in the
Department of Public Welfare.
After considerable animated dis
cussion, the mileage allowance
was raised from cents per mile
to 7 cents for trial period of
80 days. The increase was permit
ted because the workers, who
must furnish their own cars and
keep them in running condition,
have been "going in the hole" on
the present allowance. It was
pointed out to the commissioners
by Robert Hollis, superintendent
of the Welfare Department, that
none of the workers has a car
newer than 1871 model while
the cars of many are several
years older. This, he explained,
greatly increases the running ex-
pense and upkeep. Under presen.
ration restrictions, social service
workers are ineligible for new
cars. Mr.. Hollis said funds to GOV.

ready on hand in the department S

WASHINGTON, April H. R -
A series of sharp questions, many
aimed at Britain's policies, unex-
pectedly embroiled the House to-
day in several hours argument oV-
err continuation Of lend-lease Tor
another year.
The controversy, so heated at
times it held the crowded gal
leries in tense silence and at an.
other point invoked a round OF
loud hand clapping, was touch
ed off by Rep. Elmer R.-Moo
in his questioning of Chairman
Bloom D.N.Y.) of the Foreign
Affairs Committee.
Elmer demanded to know if a
rumor he heard was true-that U.
S. goods were shipped to Russia
through the japanese blockade ana
the Russians turned it over to the
japanese. Rep. Wadsworth R.-
N.Y. and Bloom promptly denied
it.
Elmer asked also about "ru-
mors" that lend-lease had been
mishandled to the benefit of Brit
ain and the disadvantage of the
U. S. and asked why Blooms COM
mittee did not hear the five tour
ing U. S. Senators who returned
from the battlefronts with some
of these stories.
Didn't you want to find out the
truth?" Elmer shouted.
1--WE got the truth, and not hrom
the senators but from the real
authorities and there's not an atom
of truth to these rumors," Bloom
shot back.
Rep. Calvin D. johnson R.-1ll.)
interposed:
"Well, it has reached the point
where five or six get together, cal

toned whether other nations con-
tributions to the Allied war effort
are comparable with America

ed blood. They have made great
sacrifices. I wouldn't measure it in
dollars"
Knutson asked, How about the
future of American"

milk SUBSIDIES
TO Be CONTINUED

WASHINGTON, April 17.-(R -
Ashley Sellers, assistant War Food
Administrator, assured North
Carolina milk producers and mem
bers of Congress today that there
was s'no problem about contlnu-
alton of milk subsidies in the
Southeast.
The present subsidy of 80 cents
100 pounds expires April 30.
The only question, Sellers told
the group at conference, is the
desirability of fixed, year-round
subsidy figure in preference to a
seasonable variation.
The North Carolina producers,
coupling their appeal for continu-
alton of the 80 cent subsidy through
the summer with warning that
failure to do so would completely
destroy Carolina milk production,
urged a fixed figure to "stabilize'
production.
Proposing abandonment of sea-
sona] variations, the producers
asked VIA to determine what the
aggregate amount of subsidy would
be over a years period and divide
it into IL equal monthly payments
Governor J. M. Broughton said
while much can be said on both
sides of the subsidy question, ii
they can be justified anywhere
they are justified here"

Other defendants quickly quoted
her. At the noon recess, however,
she posed for photographers fac

fingers waving. A few munites
later she stood on a street car
