told reporters:
You can say that we propose to
fight this bill with every weapon
in our sheath"
Senator Overton estimated that Is
Senators from Southern States at
tended the conference.
The formal action came as the
Senate prepared to plunge into a
knock-down. drag-out fight on the
dynamite packed bill.
The advance billing had Capitol
Hill barking back to the 30S when
Huey Long, as Senator from Louisi-
ana, went on filibuster marathon
during which he discoursed on a
myriad of subjects, including the
merits of Southern pot likker."
Other Southern Senators, all
pledged to talk plenty, lined up
against the FEPC bill which would
establish permanent committe to
eliminate racial and religious dis
elimination in industrial and gov
ernmental employment.
I'm going to talk against it as
long as God gives me BREATH" Sena-
tor Ellender, Democrat, of Louisiana,

he would talk two years" if neces-
Sary.

Iran Takes Measures
To Bring Red Dispute
Before UN0 Council
Gromyko Avoids Issue in
First Mojor Russian
Speech to Assembly
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER.

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
LONDON, Jan. 18.-The Iran
ian delegation to the United Ma

took the first concrete steps to
bring the explosive Iranian-R Rus
sian dispute before the Security
Council as Soviet delegates
maintained complete silence on
the issue.

Great Britain, Russia and France
met late today to resume discussions
on five European peace treaties on
the basis of the Moscow agreement.
Uncertain Over Procedure.
Shortly before Mr.. Gromyko took
the floor, Seyed Hassan TaquiZadeh,
chief of the Iranian delegation, con-
ferred with the executive secretary
of the Assembly on what Taquizadeh
called technical arrangements" for
placing Trans complaints before the
Security Council.
Some of the Iranian leaders asso-
ciateS had indicated earlier that
the case might be filed today or to-
morrow, but they said they were un-
certain over where and how to file it.
Presumably this was the question
taken up with Secretary Gladwyn
Jebb by Taquizadeh.
Numerous UNO officials, including
those of the United States and
Great Britain, privately expressed
concern over the Iranian question
and said the untried and only par

Definite Service Term
And Extension Of Draft
by Hershey
Selective Service Chief
Says He Can Supply
SOC, 900 More Men
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey
selective service director, today
recommended immediate extern
sion of the draft and amend
ment of the Selective Service Act
to provide a definite period of
service"-preferably 18 months.
He also proposed to a Senate Mil
itary Affairs subcommittee investi-
eating demobilization that veterans
with substantially less" than 18
months service in the armed forces
be reinducted to serve out the rest
of their 10 months.
In order to get more 4-Fs into
uniform, Gen. Hershey also recon-
mended that the War and Navy De-
partments lower their physical
standards land apply them so as to
produce the required number of
men,"
He estimated that if all his recon-
mendationS were followed, he could
put 100000 more men into uniform
to provide requirements. The Army
has blamed its demobilization slow
down on the failure of selective serv-
ice to provide enough requirements
for overseas forces.
Gen. Hershey told the subcom-
mittee he could supply approx
mately 10000 troop requirements
between now and May Is, under
present draft standards, but added
that if the draft continued 10000
more youths graduating from high
school would be available for the
draft in June or July.
Advises Against Commitments.
Gen. Hershey was advised by the
subcommittee chairman, Senator
johnson, Democrat, of Colorado not
to make any commitments after
May IS when the Selective Service
Act expires. Senator johnson al
ready has made it clear he doubts
Congress will continue the draft.
Gen. Hershey estimated that out
of the millions of men over 25, ap-
proximately 10000 men in the 26-29
age group. and $4,000 men over 30
could be drafted. Men over Is have
been deferred since VI day.

 ShouU Next NOU.

Lt.-Col. Whitney Stone, president of Stone and Webster, has been elected president of the National Horse Show Association and an- nounced today that the traditional equine spectacle will be held again at Madison Square Garden next November, after the lapse of four war years.
 The National expects to have inc ternational military jumping teams from North America, South Amer ica and Europe, Mir. Stone said, and plans international jumping for every performance. matineeS as well as nights. In previous years the international military jumping con- tests took place regularly only at the night performances, Matinees will also have other features previ- ously given at night. The reason for these Alusual classes at after noon performances, MT. Stone ex- plained, is that this year the Na- tional will run only five full nights instead of the usual week.
