Along the Potomac
to Washington
By J. Glenn Beall

By the overwhelming vote of "a to
2 the Senate last week approved the
House Bill providing for seventh
group Air Force and authorizing APP
preparations of three billion, one hun
bred and ninety-eight million dollars
to purchase 1920 war planes and to
expend aeronautical research. The
bill now goes to the President.
1t now appears rather certain that
members of the Atomic Energy Com
mission, whose terms will expire Au-
gust list, will not be confirmed for re-
appointment, as requested by the
President, for terms lasting as long
as five years. Instead, the Republican
Leadership i'm the Senate has agreed
on the extension of the present Com
missioners' terms until July lsC,
1850, or for twenty-three months,
which will permit a new President
if one is elected in Novcmber-to
make his own appointments.
The House Committee on Armed
Services has reported out a new
Selective Service Bill, which provides
for nothing more or less than u
straight-out draft, calling for the
registration of all men between the
ages of eighteen and thirty, and for
the induction into the Armed Forces
IF thAcn
twenty-five, with exemptions for
most veterans, married men and es-
sential workers. The length of SER
vice required will be two years. The
military can control the Selective
Service machinery. Inductions would
start ninety days after the measure
is approved by the President. At the
present time quite a battle is going
on within the Senate Armed Services
Committee, and within the Senate
itself, over what form of Selective
Service legislation should be ap-
proved by that body. On the House
side the Selcctive Service legislation
is scheduled to be taken up some time
next week. That many amendments
will be offered to the measure seems
TO be certain, for there is a general
dissatisfaction with the bill as re-
ported by the House COMMITTEES
Progressive Jr. Chamber
At the request of the Cumberland
Junior Chamber of Commerce, the
sponsors of the Air Show on June 20,
