The War departments memoran-
dunn Friday said:
In any future calls on Selective
Service for personnel the War de-
partment will specify that the call
be filled, in so far as possible, by
men within the 10 to 20 age brac-
ket."
Depends On Manpower
If in the future it is found that
there are insufficient personnel
within this age bracket to satisfy
manpower requirements it NAV be
necessary to consider the induction
OF men through age IS.
The War department has not
recommended to the President that
the top draft age be raised from
20 to IS years"
One Big Source
The change. when draft calls are
resumed in September, would be
due In large part to the exemption
OF ~18-year-olds in the new draft
act. That measure sets the age
units at 10 and As. The youths Of
10 heretofore had been the big
source Of nanpower.

Hit Jackpot
He hit the jackpot. The money
rolled in. He started a new home
with the longest golf course in the
world. When it came to building
up his stock piles and papers again,
though, Saunders, who had quit
school to earn his own living,
flunked the course.
His new enterprise is based on a
"Keedoozle'' store which first ap-
peared in Memphis in 1887 - with
the help of one Of the biggest ad-
vertising and Boosting campaigns
ever staged here. His Boosting, he
said, a an atmosphere

Gave Up Idea
Nothing could be duplicated, it
seemed. Neither Saunders, his
Keedoozle, or the furry Of excite
ment. But the machinery broke
down, and Saunders gave up in
1910.
Now g. Saunders has poured
more than $4,000 into a new Kee-
Doodle. And he has worked up
variations to fit into industrial and
accounting fields. The only reason
the firm chartered today doesn't
carry the affectionate name "Kee-
Doodle" is that Saunders plans to
lease the equipment and ideas to
too many businesses.

Rejected Thursday

The other provision specifically
denounced by President Truman in
his veto message-the Taft cost
plus amendment was rejected by
the senate last night by a tie vote
of 40 to 40.
The amendment to prohibit the
revival OF all but OPA rent con
trolls was offered by Sen. Edward
V. Robertson. r., Wyo., it was re-
Jected overwhelmingly by a roll
call vote of 81 to IL.
The Senate bans on gain and to-

ready outlawed ceilings on meat,
poultry, eggs, petroleum products,
milk, butter and cheese. They ar
gued that even under the new bill,

left.
Grain Feeds Exempted
The Senate approved, ~ to 36, an
amendment offered by Sen. John
H. Overton, D., La, which would
exempt grain and grain feeds
for livestock from price control.
The amendment exempting tobac-
co from controls, offered by Sen.
Clyde R. Hoey, D., N. c., was ap-
proved by voice vote.
Debate on the grain amendment
was the most bitter of the day and
prompted a sharp clash between

this week. at the instruction Of the
Foreign Ministers council, sent
out invitations to II other nations
to participate in a general Euro
pean peace conference to be con-
vened here July %.
In their final session, the minis
tiers again went over the five draft
treaties for Italy, Finland and the
Balkans and sent them back to
their deputies to make some final
changes before next Wednesday.
Ship Sharing
The ministers, allotting certain
Italian naval vessels to Yugoslavia
and Greece, agreed that Greece
should receive a medium cruiser
to replace n sunk by the Italians
during the war and that Yugoslavia
should be given fighting ships ag-
gregating 5000 tons, of which at
least 5000 tons should be in fight
ing condition.
Then Bevin told the council
there e eight points in the Ital-
ian and Balkan treaties that did
not satisfy his government and
that he would not sign any peace
treaty until the points were salts
fled, the British informant said.
Points Listed
The British source listed the
points as including the Danube
question, the disposition of United
Nations property in Italy, compen-
sation for damage to Allied prop
erty in enemy countries. The
handling of industrial, literary and
artistic property rights and a pro-
vision for most favored nation
treatment in aviation and British
property in the Balkans.
The ministers agreed on the
form of setting up a committee to
draft the Observation-Disclosures of
Trieste, but a split between Molo-
TOW and the western powers again
appeared when Byrnes proposed
that Yugoslavia be required to
pledge a human rights" document
for Italians in the areas coded to
Yugoslavia.
Molotov repeated his opposition
TO setting up a central administra-
ton in Germany, American in

had to have more time to study

The ministers, however, approv-
ed a French proposal that the AL

Coincident with the united stand

the disclosure by Boyd that most
of Wilmington's rail freight rates
are lower than those of two of the
Port City's competitors-Norfolk
Va, and Charleston, S. c.
Gives City Edge
Freight rates which give this
city an edge over the other two
ports center on major commodities
such as fertilizer, fertilizer ma
terial, canned goods, lumber. logs,
foreign woods. tobacco, sugar,
grain, and petroleum.
In all these cases the three COM
peting ports enjoy the same water
shipping rates.
But Wilmington's rail freight
rates r considerably under those
OF the other two ports, Boyd point
ed out. In short, commodities COM
ing by ship have the same rates
In all three ports. However. once
they r unloaded in the port for
shipment inland by train Whining
tons rates cut far under the other
cities rates.
If the 35-foot channel becomes a
reality, Boyd predicted that much
OF the shipping now going to Nor
folk and Charleston will automati-
cally divert to Wilmington.

Council on Education
Offers Credit Plan for
Pedcetime Veterans

The American Council on Educa-
ton today proposed to high schools
and colleges program of accredita-
ton closely following wartime stand
ards for veterans of the peacetime
armed forces whose education Is in
terrupted by service.
A change from wartime standards
is call for discontinuance OF the
practice of awarding final high
school credits and diplomas on the
basis of basic training in the service.
During the war, up to full semes-
ter's credit was given for the train
ing.
This procedure was instituted to
aviod penalizing a man drafted or
enlisted near the end OF his high
school career, Since present selec-
tive service regulations do not re-
quire a man to leave high school be-
fore graduation" according to the
report. the expedient is no longer
needed,
Other Recommendations.
The suggestion, also made to dis
courage students from leaving be-
fore they finish high school, would
Evening star., 1946-10-16

force peacetime veterans to gain
credit from one of the other means
of service experience" before they
could get diplomas.
The four other recommendations
are:
/. That school continue to grant
credit for courses completed in serv-
ice schools.
2. That schools accept for credit
correspondence courses completed
through the United States Armed
Forces Institute and the related In
stitutes of the Marine Corps and
Coast Guard.
8. Continuation of credit grants
for supervised off duty class instruc-
ton in the armed forces.
4. That schools continue to give
credit for general educational ma
turity" as measured by general edu-
cational development tests.
General Measurement.
The latter credit basis, far less
concrete than the other three-com-
pletion of which can be determined
by examination after the courses-is
designed to measure in general terms
the extent to which the veterans
education level has increased during
service.
Travel, military and civilian oc-
cupations, reading, self-study, dis
cussions, motion picture and lee
lures all are taken into considera-
ton by the GED test.
While the report said the GED
test could be used for final credit
toward high school graduation, 1t
urged that the test not be given
until after the veterans high school
class actually has been graduated.
The recommendations came in
answer to requests from schools
from special Commission on Ac-
creditation of Service Experiences.
The commission included:

can Council on Education; Paul e.
