Poor Digestion? G6 t.1 7
 Headachy? % Sour or Upset? 00 Tiired-listless? %

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day. Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 30 minutes. And, you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract indigestion-when Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma ture's own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 25s.

 Reports are unanimous in say- ing that Himmler's great experi- ment failed. The Volkssturm men do not obey or react quickly to orders, as do regular soldiers. The peoples army is made up of ci- williams who are either too old or too young. Many are unfit for service, being partly disabled or

 On the western front the Volks- sturm failed, completely, as was proved in EisenhoWer's com- muniques. It is symptomatic that they took off their armbands once fighting became senseless, simply reverting into normal citizens just as though they were going home from business. In the east they would have done the same except for their deadly fear of the Rus SianS.
 Therefore, everything depends on the regular army of three mil- lion. The army still is held to- gether by stringent discipline. Many soldiers feel precisely like the Volkssturm, but the habit of

beautiful Chateaux de Borda-

coast just outside Hendaye on
the Spanish border before the
Big Three meeting. Bordeaux

Unless Congress breaks the
deadlock over the Fair Employ
ment Practice Committee within
two weeks, thousands of en-
ployeS in other Offices covered
by the civilian war agencies bill
will face payless pay days late
this month.
AS the House prepared to renew
the battle today, it developed that
the Treasury has held that the saw
ing clause Congress added to the
second deficiency bill at the last
minute authorizes the war agencies
to incur obligations for the year
which started July l, but not to
actually pay out any money.
Although some of these Is agen-
cies including the ONCE of Defense
Transportation, have regular pay
day tomorrow, a Treasury official
pointed out it is for work performed
up to June 30, and, therefore, pay
able out of last years budget. To-
morrow also is pay day for ONCE Of
Economic Sterilization and ONCE
of Scientific Research and Develop
ment.
Sixteen Days to Act.
The same official said the first
pay day that would have to come
out of the deadlocked civilian war
agencies bill will be July 81. That
gives the House and Senate 16 days
TO find a solution before any en-
ployes would go payless.
Later in the month employees OF
! these additional agencies won't be
paid if neither side in the FEPC
controversy gives in: The War

American Affairs, the ONCE of War
Information, the War Production
Board, the War Shipping Admins
tration, the Office of Strategic Serv-
ices, the Petroleum Administration
for War and the War Relocation
Authority.
There were no signs that either
side would capitulate or even ac-
cept compromise.
Sharpen Points of Order.
! FEPC's hackers have sharpened
up points of order they can toss ef-
fectlvely at the war agencies. A

Possoee of Legislation
At Present Session
Recommended in Report
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The House Postwar Military
Policy Committee today Endorsed
the broad principle" of univer-
sal military training in peace
time.
The committee recommended that
Congress enact legislation TO put
the program in effect, and that the
action be taken during the present
session.
The recommendation was approved
by 16 of the % members.
Committee members said only on,
member, Representative Bradley
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, opposed
the recommendation, although flvl
others did not sign the formal re.
port.
The names of the five nonsigner,
were not disclosed by Chairman
Woodrum.
Hearings to Follow Recess.
The committee, a nonlegislativt
group, did not blueprint the form
of legislation that should be en-.
acted. That will be done by the
House Military Affairs Committee
after hearings expected to follow
the proposed summer recess.
Generally, the legislation under
consideration would require every
able bodied male to take one veal
of military training some time be-
tween his 18th and 2lst birthdays
Prospectively, traineeS would not
be subject to active military service
except in event of a national emer-
gency declared by Congress. The
general plan is that, after their
year of training. they will become
members of a reserve component
subject to call to service in time
OF war or emergency.
Prohibitive Cost a Factor.
TT is not feasible to rest the
future security of the United States
upon large standing armed force,
the committee said. Its cost would
be prohibitive, the necessary men to
fill its ranks could not be hired
in time of peace and it would be
repugnant to the American people. "
The committee said IAN alert and
trained citizenry capable of prompt
mobilization to meet and deal with
any national or international emer-
gency'' must be an integral part
of United States military power.
During two weeks of recent public
hearings, strong support for uni
versal training came from the Army
and the Navy, veterans organiza-
tions and miscellaneous private or
ganizations. The principal opposi-
ton came from organized labor,
clergymen, educators and farm
groups.

POTSDAM, July 5.-American

Conference.
(The actual date of the meet
ing still is matter of specula-
ton, but the best guess is that it

ference site and then drove to an
other of Berlin's numerous suburbs
where President Truman's tempo
rary White House is being given q
thorough cleaning. They said a
direct line to Washington and New
York would be installed.
The temporary White House is not
of kind which would attract at
tention. 1t is comfortable, but is
by no means palatial.
There is much evidence that Mr.
Truman will be heavily protected
American soldiers make no secret
of the fact that they have estab-
lished their camping sites with the
view to seeing that no incident mars
the Presidents first visit to de-
feated Germany.
If pleasant surroundings are con-
ducive to friendly discussion, then
the spot where the Big Three will
meet is ideal. The Potsdam area
abounds in wooded districts, with
choice habitations of which the
casual traveller has no knowledge.
and the conference will be held in
one of these.
There is some talk that special
press headquarters will be installed
near Mr.. Truman's temporary White
House or at the scene of the con-
ference, but this is in the realm Of
speculation.
In Washington the White House
announced that newspapermen
would not be permitted to cover the
actual sessions of the conference.
Press Secretary Charles G. Ross
said news coverage of the confer
ence will be by official communiques,
which will be issued "as may be
decided on from time to time
