Halted at Once
When JapsQuit
Military Committee
Head Urges Invoking
OF Duration Clause
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman May of the House
Military Affairs Committee today
called for an immediate halt to
further inductionS once Japan
falls and the earliest possible re-
lease of men already drafted.
Mr.. May said he would introduce.
as soon as Congress reconvenes next
month, legislation to end all draft
calls, thus assuring similar bills
before both Houses. Senator Lam
ger, Republican, of North Dakota
announced last night he would act
similarly in the Senate.
Mr.. May added he also plans to
discuss with President Truman the
subject of early action to, declare
hostilities at an end for the dur
alton" clause of the Selective Service
Act.
Discharges in Six Months.
Such declaration, he said, would
mean that indicted men would be
discharged not later than six months
after its effective date.
Under provisions of the Selective
Service Act, men must serve for
the duration of hostilities plus six
months. Army legal authorities
said the six months can only start
on conclusion of a peace treaty,

on a presidential proclamation end
ing the war or by joint resolu.
ton of Congress.
1t was almost three years after
Armistice day in 1918 that Con-
gress officially declared World War
hostilities ended
Inductions May Continue.
Mr.. May noted that unless Con-
greSs or the President intervenes,
induction of men may be con-
tinued until next May, regardless
of the situation in the Pacific. A
Selective Service spokesman said
yesterday draft calls will be con-
tinued to meet Army and Navy
needs until Congress or the Presi-
dent acts, or until the Draft Act
expires.
Mr.. May, however, declared,
There is no need to draft another
man after Japan quits. And we
should start thinking about getting
back to civilian life those we al
ready have drafted"
When Congress extended the
Draft Act this year, it provided that
inductions could continue until next
May Is unless the President or
Congress formally declare hostili-
ties ended before then.
Mr.. May said he believed Con-
gress should make the declaration,
adding that it need not interfere
with other wartime legislation en-
acted for the duration. 1t could, he
said, declare hostilities at an end
only for purposes of inductions.

Petain Defense Opens
Final Plea Before Case

PARIS, Aug. 14.-The two stars
of Marshal Petain's defense bat
terry, Fernand Payen and Jaques
Isorny, today began their final
effort to destroy Prosecutor
Andre Mornet's treason case
against the former Vichy chief OF
state.
Tonight the trial, which began
on July %. probably will go to the
jury, which is expected to deliberate
at least six hours before returning
verdict. Owing to an acute paper
shortage Paris newspapers will be
forced to limit their accounts ol
the end of the most important trial
in French legal history.
Payen told the high court OF
justice that Petain constantly and
scientifically tricked the Germans
but he never tricked the Allies"
Payen compared Petain to Pierre
Laval in the Vichy regime. Laval
he said, was convinced that Ger
many would prevail and he worked
for an intimate union with the en-
envy
But that was never Petains
policy" Payen declared. "It never
was before and a man doesn't
change in character and manner
of thinking at "a. Documents and
other evidence show that Petain
fought the Germans as hard as he
could from July Ia, 1910, until the
end. Petain never played more than
one game-that of his country"

White House Confirms
Dote; Four Points
Likely to Come Up

Gen. Charles de Gaulle, head
of the provisional French gov
ernment, will come to Washing
ton a week from tomorrow to
confer with President Truman.
The White House last night an
nounced the date of the contem-
plated visit, which Paris said several
week ago had been arranged. Un-
til the statement last night both
White House and State Department
had been silent on the matter.
Charles G. Ross, presidential Sec
retary, issued the following state
ment:
After an exchange of views in
May between the President of the
United States and Mr.. Bidault,
French Minister of Foreign Affairs,
during the course of which the mu-
tual desire of President Truman
and Gen. de Gaulle to meet was
expressed, it was agreed that the
President of the Provisional Gov
ernmnent of the French Republic
would come to the United States
as soon as circumstances permitted.
August 70 Date Set.
"It has now been agreed that the
meeting will take place this month
and the 22d Of August has been
fixed for the arrival of Gen. De
Gaulle in Washington.
While there was nothing in this
statement to indicate the purpose of
the trip, American and French
sources gave attention to these
topics.
l. The French economic situation.
2. The question of Germany's
Western boundary, still unsettled.
3. Frances share in German rep
arations.
4. The Far Eastern situation, es-
pecially as respecting French terri
tory.
Restoration Important.
Gen. de Gaulle may stress par
ticularly the materials France needs
to restore her industry and agri-
culture to full-scale operation.
France already has been allocated
400 1000 tons of American coal per
month, if shipping space is availa-
BILE. Machine tools, agricultural
equipment and, of course, food, and
other products are likely to rate top
priority on Gen. de Gaulle's list.
Probably more important than
any details the two leaders bring up
in their discussions will be how they
get along personally. It can. have
bearing on postwar re-
lations of the two nations.

Social security payments to
individuals total approximately
SO, ,000, 100000 since the Social
Security Act was signed by Pres
ident Roosevelt 10 years ago
today, according to Federal
Security Administrator Paul v
McNutt.
Meanwhile, President Truman is
sued a statement saying that the
Nation has right to be proud of
its accomplishments so far in the
field of social security, but that I'VE
have long way to go before we can
truthfully say that our social Sc
curity system furnishes the people
of this country adequate protection
He said he planned to present
Congress with specific recommen-
dations to make the act "a more
perfect instrument for the main-
tenance of economic security ="
The 10-year total is made of $780,
100000 under old-age and sur
vivors' insurance, $2,237 ,O00,0O0 un-
der unemployment compensation
and $5,779 100000 under public as
sistance. Both Federal and State
funds are included in the totals.
Jobless Cost Lower Than Expected
In report to MIR. McNutt last
night, Chairman ]. Altmeyer of the
Social Security Board stated that
unemployment compensation pay
ments were much lower than ex-
pected in view of war production
cutbacks On August / about 19O,-
600 persons were receiving weekly
benefit payments averaging $18 a
week.
He described the short-term in
surance system as the first line of
defense" for families of approxi-
mately 36,000,O0O insured workers
during the reconversion period. 1t
is designed to replace about half
the wage loss OF insured workers
during a limited number of weeks.
Mr.. Altmeyer reported that the
old-age and survivors insurance
trust fund amounted to $6,613 $50 ,619
on June 80. Considering the tre-
mendous liabilities for benefits al
ready incurred by the system, it is
apparent that this sum is not one
which we can view with too COM
plete assurance" he declared.
This, he said, means that taxes
must be increased if the program
is to be self-sustaining, o. the fund

The economists added that ,Inem-

can estimate the extent of the
shrinkage.
Today's reconversion scene also
included these other developments: !:
