Labor Draft Measure
Already Is Pending
In Both Branches
BY the Associated Press.

by tHe ASsoCiated ffeSS.
National service legislation
such as President Roosevelt rec
commended to Congress today al
ready is pending in both
branches. Endorsed by flight
administration officials, the plan
has been opposed by Spokesmen
for organized labor.
Sponsored jointly by Senator Aus
tin, Republican, of Vermont and
Representative ,Wadsworth, Repub-
lican, of New York the bill pro-
vides machinery for drafting men
from 18 to IS and women from 18 to
SO for labor in war plants and on
farms.
Undersecretary of War Patterson
fatty indorsed the proposal in hear
ings before the Senate Military Al
fairs Committee.
Its prompt adoption, together
with sound administration will nit
lgate the loss of life on the fighting
'front.' Mr.. Patterson testified. 1T
will bring about a more equitable
distribution of burdens on the home
front"
Admiral Land Indorses Bill.
Rear Admiral Emory S. Land.
head of the Maritime Commission
also indorsed the bill.
Other Endorsements came from
representatives of the American
Legion.
The Presidents message was re-
garded as recommendation for a
principle, rather than backing for
any specific pending proposal.
Under the Austin Wadsworth plan
the selective service system would be
given charge of registering the peo-
pie and calling them up for duty
when the President determines they
are needed.
Since males from 18 to IS already
are registered, new registration
would be required only for women
Not all women would be liable for
service. Exceptions would be made of
mothers with children under 18
pregnant women and those already
in the WACS, SPARS and other
such services.
Voluntary Recruiting.
The bill provides first for volun-
tary recruiting of needed workers
from nonessential occupations to
take places in the essential plants
or industries designated by the
President.

Forthcoming. however, or if time
would not permit the voluntary
method to be used, the labor draft
would be resorted to.
Selective service, working through
its local boards, would fill the calls.
Persons shifted to other localities
would receive transportation. Hous-
ing facilities would be made avail
able. where necessary. Union con-
tracts in war plants would be upheld
and recruited workers would receive

Labor Policy Committee of the
VINO took strong position against
national service legislation and
pledged wholehearted support of
voluntary controls of the manpoWer
program. This committee is COM
posed of industrial, labor and agri-
culture leaders
Mr.. May said he did not know
whether his committee would reopen
hearings on numerous national serv-
ice bills before it. He recalled that
the group had held extensive hear
ings on national service legislation
last year, but took no action be-
cause OF what he termed lack of
support for the proposals.
Andrews Favors Legislation.
Representative Andrews of New
York, ranking Republican on the
committee, said he favored the leg
islatlon, but was doubtful if the
committee would approve it.
I've been for that all along" Mr.
Andrews said.

Legion program Of national service
for the last eight years"
Representative Harness, Repub-
lican, of Indiana said he could not
support such bill unless I'm con-
vinced that my present views are
wrong
representative Brooks. Democrat,
iof Louisiana said he had found no
demand" and no support for it
in his home district.
On the other hand, Senator Aus
tin, Republican. of Vermont de-
clared national service law would
be the answer to all this propaganda
on the other Side-it would show
that there is no division or lack of
unity OF purpose in this country"
Revercomb Cites Present Law.
Senator Revercomb, Republican
OF West Virginia, member of the

said he referred to the Antistrike
Act.

off hand opinion; my attitude would
depend on the circumstances as
they arise"
Senator Bridges, Republican, OF

volved.'
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, OF

No Party Generals.
The Republican party, the Re-
publican Congress, the Republican

Marshall is an American general,

American general, not a party gen.

every American. Our admirals,
King, Halsey, were trained and put
there by the Nation and belong to
the Nation. The Republican party
guarantees to the country that these
irreplaceable men shall continue;
that the war shall be fought under
their skill and under their COM
mand. This is a matter above and
beyond all politics.
But the Republican party guar

Vandenberg Reopens
Fight for Freeze Of

BY the Associated Press.

Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, declaring there is no
justification" for doubling the pres
ent per cent social security pay
roll tax, set out, today to convince
the Senate that the current rate
should be frozen for the rest of this
year.
This is one time when know I'm
dead right" said Senator Vanden-
berg, who on two previous occasions
helped block what otherwise would
nave been automatic increases.
Just before the Christmas recess.
Congress enacted stop-gap legfsla-
ton holding the rate at per cent
on both employer and emplove
through January and February. A
year-long freeze was attached by
the Finance Committee to the So
275, 100000 tax increase bin. slated

mediately after the reading of the
Presidents annual message.
Senator Vandenberg noted that in
1899 Congress laid down a rule as
TO what should constitute an ade-
quate reserve in the social securitv
iund from which old age and sur
Vivors' benefits are paid. The re-
serve, Congress stipulated, should
be at least three times the highest
anticipated drain on the fund in
any one OF five succeeding years.
Compares Figures.
Now" Senator Vandenberg said
at a press conference. the reserve
Is II times, instead of three times
the lowest estimate of the Social
Security Board, and five times the
highest estimate of the contem-
plated drain.
Furthermore, it is estimated that
the payroll tax at the existing rate
Iof l per cent will produce in 1914
more than was originally contem-
plated to be received from a 2 pei
cent tax. (He later estimated the ]
per cent rate would yield 81 500 900. :
900 this year.)
Under those circumstances. there
Is no justification for a 100 per cent
increase in payroll taxes in 1914
Chairman George, who voted
against the Vandenberg freeze
amendment in the Finance Commit
tee, told reporters he believed the
Senate could decide the question to-
day. He contended the whole tax
bill, including the controversial,
amendments to the war contracts
