Draft Issue Meets Varied
 Reaction
BY DOROTHY WILLIAMS

Un1te0 Press Stan correspondent
 Washington, Aug. 29 = UP) = House Military Affairs Committee members showed varying reactions today to proposed congressional action to continue drafting men for the armed forces.
 Some said flatly that Selective Service must end with the war.
 Others urged greater inducements to spur recruiting in the hope that the waning needs of the armed services could be met through en- listments.
 President Truman has asked Con- gress to extend the draft, and is recommending that in the future men 18 through 25 be inducted for two year periods.
 Army Requirements
 The Army followed up this pro- posal with summation of its needs and an appeal to Congress to find way to meet them.

 Fears Jops

Miami. Fla. Aug. 29.-(UP)-Maj.
 Gen. Claire L. Chennault said today
 that there was danger" that the
 Japanese Imperial family would be
 able to re-establiSh the military
 strength of Japan and again seek world conquest.
 Chennault, former commander of the 14th Air Force in China, said that the American people themselves unwittingly could play a part in restoring Japanese militarism by becoming sympathetic with the
 beaten people and allowing them to grow strong.
 'In my opinion" he said, ''there is danger that with the royal fam- fly remaining in control the ems peror will try to build up the same structure as before-he couldn't do
 otherwise, or the emperor would
 cease to exist"
 God-Emperor 'The Japanese structure has the mass of the common people at the
 bottom, indoctrinated with the idae that the emperor is God and his mission is to rule the world" Chen- f1ault said. "Next is the commercial
 class, which is the only class that might prevail, SO that 1t can con- tinue making money. Then the pro- fessional class, and the military class which lives and dies by the code of the warrior. 'sThe emperor is at the top. And he would have no structure to sup- port him if he removed tho warrior clique.
