Women Favor
Droft Labor

washington, Jan. ia (UP) -.
American women will favor national
service legislation for @ draft Of
labor, but only after they are con-
WINGED 1t Is necessary to win the
war, Congresswomen declared to-
day.
One of the feminine legislators
Mrs. Margaret Chase Smith, r.,
Me. felt that the proposed labor
draft Of men and women was over
due.
1--WE believed in the policy OF uni
versal service for long time" Mrs.
Smith said. I'm not committing
myself to any particular bill at this
time, but I know there are a lot Of
women whose abilities are not being
used to the utmost in the war ef-
fort"
Mrs. Smith said her recent tour Of
war plant areas as House naval
affairs committee member convinced
her there were many women who
were eager to help, but who, because
OF difndence or lack Of information,
were not in essential work.
Rep. Glare Boothe Luce, r.. Conn.
made clear her stand recently when
she introduced q bill which would
permit the drafting into war work
Of men unfit for military duty.

Mastering Out
Pay Fight On

Washington, Jan. l8,-(UP)-
House squared off today for a first
class fight over veterans mastering
out pay as prominent Republicans
and Democrats joined In asking col
leagues not to complicate an already
tangled issue with extraneous or
crazy" amendments.
With debate limited to two hours,
Chairman Andrew j. May, D., KY.
OF the House military affairs COM
mittee urged that mastering out
pay be considered independently
and not be begged down with the
question Of adjusted compensation.
He called for passage OF the COM
mittee bill providing 500 mastering
out pay for less than 90 days serv-
ice and $500 for &C days or more.
There are too many conditions
involved in adjusted compensa-
tion," he said. we cannot an
ticipate now what a man is going
to need when he may not be dis
charged for another three or five
years"
Rep. Dewey Short. r., NO., also
urged approval of the committee
bill. Aware that several membe.a
were prepared to submit amend
ments boosting the $500 top figure
up to $500, he appealed for Con-
gress to be sensible" in making q
final decision.
