Representative soarkman ID
Ala.,) who has been leading fight
within the House committee for a
full years extension, told a re-
porter he was willing to compro-
mise for a one-year extension with
ban against any inductions for
rom four to six months.
Could Resume Inductees
At the end of that period, under
Sparkman' suggestion, the Presl.
dent would be authorized to re-
sumo inductions if enlistments fail
ed to meet Army manpower re-
quirements.
Vinson's proposal, which would
raise the pay Of all enlisted per
sonnet, would allow the President
to reinstate inductions after NO
vember IS if voluntary enlistments
fell short.
IT believe, in fact I feel sure, -
Sparkman said, "that the Army
would be willing to accept one
year extension, with suspension
provision, provided the President
was given power to order induc-
lions resumed if enlistments drop
ped too low"
Sparkman said he believed the
military committee might recon-
mend such plan at Tuesday $
meeting. He predicted also that
the committee soon would recon-
mend pay raises, perhaps as high
as $500 year for all service per-
sonnet, in an effort to spur enlist
ments.

Top Chiefs Promise Re- lease of Fathers If Con-

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The top chiefs of the War Department have promised to release all fath- CTS in the armed forces if Congress extends the draft indefinitely or for at least one year. Under the present law, selective service is due to expire on May 18th. In urging a continuation, War Secretary Ro- bert Patterson and Army Chief of Staff Dwight Eisenhower warned Congress that if selective service IS not extended, the country's mili- tary position might become precar- ious.
 But they suggested that in renew ing the law, Congress impose these restrictions:
 Limit draftees to 18 months of service:
 Draft no more men than would be necessary to bring the army up to a strength of one million seven ty thousand officers and men by July l, 1947:
 Draft no more fathers, regardless of age, and release all fathers now in the services as soon as possible
 And continue the present draft age of IS to 45, even though the army would induct only those in the 18 to 26 bracket. Eisenhower asked for an indefin- ite extension of the draft until the Job of winding up the war and se- curing the peace is done. Patterson requested an extension of at least enc year.

(BY JOHN M. HIcHrowER)

WASHINGTON, March 2l.--The United States openly bucked Rus sia today in pressing for the quick est possible UNO showdown on the explosive Soviet-I -Iranian discord.
 Moscow asked 16-day delay, but the best diplomatic opinion here is that the Kremlin will be unable to prevent the case coming before the Security Council as soon as it convenes in New York next Monday.
 The United States is throwing it's full weight behind Trans demands for an immediate hearing by the council. This bears out recently re- newed assertions of both President Truman and Secretary of State Byrr,es that UNO must become a going concern as soon as possible.
 The Russian request to set back until April 10 the scheduled coun- cil opening was presented by Am bassador Andrei Gromyko, Soviet member, with tlleargument that Russia needed more time to pre- pare its case on Iran.
 The sharply divergent Soviet and American views on the critical United Nations test case came out simultaneously yesterday from the office. temporarily in Washing ten, of Secretary General Trygve Lie.
 American reaction to the Soviet request was swift, as reflected by the privately expressed views of highly placed officials.
 These officials and aides on Lies staff said 1t would take unanimous agreement of the II Security Coun- cil members to obtain postpone ment of the March 25 opening That would mean the United States would have to concur, and it was said that this country has no in tention of concurring-
 This means that the real issue over an immediate hearing for Iran or a delay until early next month of the whole Iranian case probably will come to a showdown at the Councils first session Monday af- ternoon.
