the uncertainty of volunteering.
Up to Conferees
A Senate-House committee Will
have to compromise differences
between the. two branches. Three
days of Senate debate drew the
issues.
The chief point of controversy
between the two chambers is
whether 1s and 19-year-olds should
be subject to the draft. The House
voted no. The Senate decided, %,
to rs, that they should. Talk al
ready is going around of a possible
compromise dropping boys IL but
taking those 10.
Other Differences
Other major differences:
The House voted to extend the
draft only until Feb. IS and to
suspend all inductions from May
IS until Oct. IS.
The Senate approved an increase
from $50 to $75 a month in pay of
buck" privates, increases for
other enlisted men, but no pay
boost for officers. The House, in a
bill separate from its draft mea-
sure, voted comparable increases
for enlisted men. 1t also approx
ed 20 percent raises for first and
second l~ieutenants and 10 percent
increases for higher officers. The
Navy and Marine corps also would
receive the higher pay.
Fathers Exempted
The Senate and House agreed
that the service of future inductees
should be limited to 10 months and
that fathers should not be drafted
The Senate bill, as drawn by the
Military committee, took account
of the possibility that volunteers
may meet future needs through a
section directing, in effect, that nc
n shall be drafted if s~ufficient
volunteers do step forward.
To Reduce Army
This section requires that the
Army shall be reduced "consis.
tently month by month" from the
current figure of about 1850, 0O(
to 1,o70, 900 by July 1, 1947. Draft
acquisitions, it adds, shall not
exceed the number of men required
after consideration of the actual
number of voluntary enllstments
during the three months preceding
that month in which the requisition
is made"
Senator Edwin c. Johnson( D.
Colo.), vigorous critic of peace
time conscription," said he is con-
f1dent there will be sufficient
volunteers.
He argued to Revercomb that
this section did in effect what the
latter proposed halt inductions
If there are enough volunteers. Z.

Conference Proposed
Both Churchill and Attlee advo-
Gated a conference of the 81 belli-
gerent nations if the big Four
were unable to agree on European
peace treaties.
Attlee, replying to Churchill in
the second day of debate on for
eign policy, said the misunder-
standing between Russia and the
Western powers 'is really the iron
curtain - it is a curtain between
minds"
He said Russia insisted on literal
and rigid Interpretation of the Pots
dam agreement, denying all flexi-
bility to meet changing situations.
He added that ST think that they
disregard the spirit in which we
entered into these things at Pots
DAM"
One of Britain's greatest diff
cu1ties, Attlee said, was ITO try
to get into the minds of our Rus
sian friends some real understand
ing on the way we work things in
Western Democracies."
Born in Forest
we have to look upon the Rus
sian people, to some extent, as if
they had been born in a dark for
est; they do not seem to understand
the sunlight, the wind and the air
of Free Democracies," Attlee said.
Churchill declared it was incre-
dlble that "the handful of very
able men" who rule from the
kremlin should be so Uniformed
concerning the Western Democra-
cles, and cried:
1T cannot be in the interests of
Russia to go on irritating the
United States. There is no people
in the world which is slower in
developing hostile feelings against
a foreign country than the Ameri-
cans.
