New Attack

A renewed attack was made on
John Rae. county prosecutor. today,
at a stormy session OF the board of
supervisors In Ann Arbor.
Donald Comstock, Ypsilanti, de-
manded that the Ypsilanti oihce or
the county prosecutor, which was
closed by Rae, February 20, be re-
opened. Mr.. Comstock based his
demands upon figures showing that
the number of cases in the local
office had increased materially dur
ing the past year and that the
need for the Office was greater now
than ever.
He limited that Roe. in closing the
Office had not divulged the true rea-
son and that a difference OF opin-
ions betweein Rae and the former
assistant prosecutor in Ypsilanti,
Alfred DeOtte, might have been
the basis.
Rae defended the action by as.
serting that the appointment was
war time measure. He stated
that the closing was an effort TO
conserve on expenses In the de.
partment.

Doors Closed as
High Officials
Confer

Washington, Mar. 13-AP-The
House Military Committee called
two cabinet officers and the Army
chief OF stan today for more plain
talking on the world situation and
on our own military needs"
Members said that is the reason
they summoned Secretary OF State
Byrnes. Secretary OF War Patter-
son and General Eisenhower TO q
closed-door-session before voting on
such matters as:
Universay military training legls-
lation advocated by President
Truman.
Extension OF. the draft law which
expires May Is.
Stockpiling of materials vitality
needed in time OF war.
Increases in pay OF all Army and
Navy personnel in an effort to
spur enlistments.
After hearing Byrnes. Patterson
and Eisenhower, the committee Is
expected to vote on universal train
ing and the draft extension, two
matters which many members say
they feel must be settled before the
committee does anything else.
May Delay
There Is strong committee senti-
ment for the proposal OF House
Republican Leader Joseph w.
Martin, Jr.. OF Massachusetts TO de-
lay training legislation until all
efforts to outlaw peacetime con-
scription throughout the world
have been exhausted.
While Chairman May (D-Ky) Is
known to be opposed TO the Martin
proposal and Mr.. Truman has call
ed 1t impractical. 1t has gathered
strength in recent weeks.
There Is scant support In the
committee for = full year Of mil
itsry trsininy rs advanced by the
President, although many men,
bers are sympathetic to an Ameri-
can Legion proposal for a shorter
compulsory training period.
Compromise Seen
A possible compromise advanced
by some committeeman would rec
ommend the Legion program, 10
become effective only after the
President notifies Congress that ef-
forts to obtain an international
ban on conscriptlon have failed.
Pending q anal decision on uni
versal training. the committee Is
expected to approve shortly six
months extension OF the draft law,
with exemptions for men with chill
dren and all men over 80 or under
81.
II also Is leaning favorably to-
ward an Army-Nsvy proposal TO
raise the pay and allowances OF all
officers and enlisted men 20 per
cent In an effort 10 encourage en-
listments so the draft law can be
abandoned after six months.
Stockpiling legislation passed by
the Senate Is ready for commit
tee action. but the group deferred
