Labor Braces
for Showdown
Manpower Droft
Fought Bitterly

WASHINGTON, Jan. % - R)
Organized labor braced itself
today for its first big battle of
the 10th Congress-over man
power legislation.
Loser in a preliminary Skin
mish in the House Military Com
mittee, it set out to defeat on
the House floor next week a
limited national service bill for
men ID to As. The bill carries
the threat of induction into the
army or a stiff fine and i'm
prisonment.
Particularly Objectionable to
labor organizations is a clause
to outlaw imposition of union
membership on non-union men
taking jobs in essential industry.
The Military Committee ap-
proved this clause yesterday as
it tentatively endorsed the entire
bill and directed its legislative
staff to draft a new measure.
The new draft, embodying
changes approved by the Com
mittee, will be submitted for
final approval tomorrow and
may reach the house floor late
this week.
The labor-opposed amendment
went into the Presidentially-
requested measure on a IA to 10
vote and tended to stiffen the
opposition of organized workers.
Briefly, it provides that no man
taking a job at the request or
direction of his local draft board
shall be required, as a condition
of employment, to become a
member of a union.
Chairman Mead (D-N " of
the Senate War Investigating
Committee said meanwhile that
national service legislation isn't
needed-that what is needed is
an end to what he called a
tremendous waste OF manpOWer.
Mead said this waste is apparent
in Army arsenals, Navy yards
and also in uniformed man.
power.
Rep. Philbin (D-Mass) an
nounced he would make fight
to remove the anti-closed shop
amendment. He contended it
would abrogate contracts made
voluntarily between labor and
management.
The CLIO. the ALL and the
Railway Brotherhoods, Philbin
said, are opposed to the amend
ment as we'll as to another pro-
posal which would ban picket

Would such man be drafted

Yes. SIS officials say in such
cases the Army would accept
men for limited service. This is
the theory behind that: a man
who is PA (L) or 2-B (L) has
been deferred from military
service only because he's in es-
sential work.
If he leaves that work, then
the reason for deferring him

peared.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-(R)
This probably has a lot of men
under 80 sitting up nights: will
the Army take men who are
physically fit only for limited
service?
The answer to this question is
given here. 1t seems to be the
most precise answer possible at
this time. 1t comes from selective
service headquarters.
But, first, here's the story be-
hind the question::
Every month until last June,
of the total number of draftees
taken, about per cent were
men capable of limited service
only.
STOPPED ACCEPTANCES
In June the Army stopped &C.
cepting such men. BY that time
it had found within its ranks SO
many men capable only of linn
tied service anyway that it
wanted no more from civilian
life.
So this happened:
Men, found after their physi-
cal examination to be fit only
for limited service, were CLASH
fled PA CD if they were in
transporting jobs or 2-B CD
if they were in direct war jobs.
But now the army has stepped
up its draft calls. Draft boards,
searching their files for under
80 men, have started calling up
men with an Il" after their
names for a new physical exam
| ination.
Some of these men, found un-
fit months ago, may have re-
turned to a physical condition
sufficiently sound to qualify
them for general military serv-
ice. Many haven't, of course.
One such mana IA CD in
New York-writes in to tell this
story:
FEELS INSECURE
Since last June he felt sure he
would not be drafted. Three
weeks ago he was called down
for new physical examination.
The doctors placed him in this
category: Accepted for limited
service"
But two Army sergeants in the
examination center said he was
not acceptable. He went home,
called his draft board, asked
what this meant.
The board told him: You prob
ably won't be accepted now for
a couple of months.
So, feeling insecure about his
future, he wrote in here to ask
whether the Army is taking men
for limited service or intends to
take them.
His letter was read to selective
service officials here and this
was their answer:
No. The Army is not taking
men for limited service if they
are in war jobs or war-support-
ing jobs. That means men in
IA (L) and 2-B L) if still
found capable Of limited serv-
ice only.
PROSPECTS DIM
And there is no indication
that the Army at any time in the
future will begin accepting
them again.
(There is the possibility that
the Army, some time hence, may
change its plans and take them
but, the officials emphasized,
there is no indication of that)
But suppose a man listed as
IA CD or 2-B U) quits his es-

tice Of printing anything that relates
to the private affairs OF individuals, we
have deemed the following, from the
Baltimore Patriot, an honorable excep-
tion, and as such, publish it as a Just
tribute of respect to those to whom it
relates:
"The marriage Of M de Bodisco, the
Russian Minister, to the young and
lovely daughter Of Brooke williams,
esq, Of Georgetown, which took place
on Thursday, created great sensation
In the fashionable world. The distin-
guished bridegroom has, during his resi-
dence here, secured universal respect
and esteem by his kindness of disposi-
ton. his urbanity of manners and his
splendid and cordial hospitality. The
bride had just appeared above the hori-
zon Ito use the metaphor Of Burke) and
her exceeding beauty and acomplish-
ments had just begun to decorate and
cheer the society of the metropolis,
when they won the heart and hand of
the Minister.
The Wedding Ceremony
''The marriage ceremony took place at
the residence of the brides father.
Several intimate personal friends of the
Minister assembled at his mansion and
along with his regular suite attended
him to the house of Mr.. Williams. The
cortege consisted of seven or eight car
riages. The street was lined with peo-
pie and every doorway and window
crowded. and the day being fine, the
whole scene was highly animated"
The II years Of married life Of the
Count and Countess Bodisco were un-
usually happy, and when the time came
for the count to die, in 1854, he was far
more generous, magnanimous and un-
selfish than many husbands would be
today, for he urged his wife to remarry
when he should be taken away, for, he
said, he wanted her to make some other
man just as happy as she had made
him.
But to the archeologist there is an
other and a more interesting thing as
sociated with Piney Branch Valley, one
that dates back to the dark ages, for, to
the west of the Tiger Bridge may be
found traces of the work Of the aborig-
ines Of the locality. Indeed, here is .
great workshop where tools were sharp
ened and roughed out, and these cast
OTIS are mainly the failures Of the work

further proved by the fact that these
forms. principally known as turtle
backs, or paleolithics, are not found
carefully deposited in clusters or caches,
but are distributed with considerable
uniformity throughout the mass of refuse
from top to bottom and from end to end.

bearing upon the question Of age has
been secured. A hundred or thousand
years may have passed since the dis
continuance Of the work on this sits,
