Draft Of Men 19 and z
Not Expected Here
Until July or August

Nineteen and 20 year old youths
in the District need not expect to
be drafted before July or August as
a result of the Army's drastic cut
back in its monthly calls for men,
1t. Col. Walter S. Welsh said today.
Col. Welsh, chief of the man
power division of the District Selec-
tive Service, said the Washington
quota for January already had been
reduced from 10l to so as a result of
the cutback.
The national January draft call
was cut from 10000 to 10000 and
the February call set at only 5000
because of limitations on next years
budget, according to defense officials
Col. Welsh said men now being
inducted-10 more were sworn in
today at the Army and Air Force
Recruiting Station-are "A and Is
year olds.
I'VE expect to find a much lower
rejection rate when we begin taking
men of % years." Col. Welsh said,
Evening star., 1948-12-08

And there win be a much smaller
portion Of veterans and married
men. All these factors will bring
about further postponements for
the 10 and 20 year olds."
Originally it was expected that the
draft calls would be increased each
month until they reached 10000 .
month for the Nation as a whole.
The November call was 10,000-55 in
the District-and in December 1t Is
15,000-76 here.
Meanwhile, the District recruiting
Office reported a drop of 40 per cent
in volunteers, which officials attrib-
uted largely to the holiday season.
An average of eight men are be-
ing recruited here daily, drop from
an average of is day last month.

jured, and his son Henry age
s, was killed last Monday be-
tween 200 and 800 a. m. in a
car wreck between Elizabeth,
Miss, and the Bogur Bridge. The
Rev. and Mrs. o. G. Pence were
returning from Memphis, where
Rev. Pence had attended the SER

called to. Both the father and mo-
Their picked up their two sons,

discussion ended with the opposf-
ton in the majority. It was OPP
posed on the basis that the adop-
ton of universal military training
would be ineffective from a mil
itary point of view and extravag-
ant from an economic viewpoint.
1t was stated that this would
change the temper and quality
of the nation in ten years.
Some 900 presidents and dea
of American Colleges attended the
meeting, he said. Another con-
troversy at the meeting was the
report of the presidents COM
mission on Higher Education
for American Democracy" 1t was
felt by many members of the AS

Third Party Elects
Negro Officers

Chicago - A specific program
of opposing racial discrimination
and segregation was unanimous
lyadopted by the 600 delegates to
the second annual Progressive
Citizens of America convention
here which endorsed the candi-
dacy of Hemp Wallace for Pre-
sident and joined his new third
party.
More than SO negro delegates
from a dozen states attended.
Five of them were elected vice
chairman They are w. e. B.
Dubois, research director of the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People; Bis
hop r. R. Wright, Jr., DIR. jose
phi R. Johnson, dean of the Med
ical School of Howard University;
Roscoe Uunjee, of Oklahoma, edi-
tor of the Black Dispatch and
Paul Robson.
A group of Negro delegates met
with Wallace during the conven-
ton and told him they felt he
was the "only presidential can
didate in America" they could
support.
They said Wallace pleaded the
Negro cause his full support.
Nine Negroes, including actress
Lena Horne, were elected to the
Board of directors. They includ-
ed: DR.. Carlton Goodlett, of San
Francisco; George Murphy pro-
minent Negro veteran from Wash
ington, D. c.; Allen freedom, Phi

The convention statement said:
Both old parties have betrayed
their promises of justice to the
Negro people. In election years,

their platforms ring with decla-
rations for a Fair Employment
Practices Act, for a Federal Anti
Lynch law, for a Federal Anti
poll tax. But in Congress those
promises are forgotten.
A vote for either old party Is
vote to continue oppression, dis
elimination and segregation of the

wistfully the Democratic pattern OF

the late Charlie Nicholson to harry
the victorious Republicans from
morn till night. They toy with the
thought of drafting such editors as
Palmer Hoyt Of Denver or Paul
Smith of San Francisco; they have
not yet mentioned 1t to them, how
ever, nor have they found an angel
to pay the freight.
Weaknesses Still Exist.
1t is argued in these circles that
the President cannot fulfill his cam
paign promises and that his weak
neSses as an administrator and party
leader still exist. They think he
will soon again be vulnerable and
it ought to be exploited Immediately.
Any such plan would at least have
the merit Of wrenching the party's
eyes from the late debacle and start
ing it to think Of the future. The
,behind-the-scenes struggles Of the
recent campaign got fairly intense
and If any stone-throwing really
starts, some important people may
get hurt.

a Snug" campaign. But Gov
Dewey can tell the story Of the piv-

efforts to enlist independent voters

Geisha Girls Applaud.
All during our performance the
geisha girls were lavish in their ap-
plause. They laughed and clapped
and urged us on to even greater
histrionic heights.
Only two people in the room did
not seem to realize how cute we
both were. They just sat on the
floor, in q corner, and glowered at
us. They were, and you get only
one guess, our wives. It's surpris-
ing how few wives really enjoy
watching their husbands make
spectacles Of themselves.
OF course, it's understandable why
Nancy Echols and Jean were an
noyed. No one paid them . bit Of
attention. Geisha girls are trained
from childhood to entertain men by
singing, dancing, waiting on them,
and conversing with them. They
Just don't know what to do when
women come to their geisha houses.
Nancy and Jean, however. did
their best to try in a single evening
to unteach the geishas everything
they had been taught in q life
time. They kept telling the girls to
serve them first, not Pat and me,
and to light their cigarettes before
they did ours, and to dance, and
sing for them.
Dinner Is Delicious.
But they might as well have
! saved their voices. The geishas just
couldn't understand women being
treated with more respect than
men.
We had q delicious dinner in the
geisha house. The main dish was
shrimp tempura, considered the
finest Japanese sea-food dish. We
sat on the matted floor In front Of
low counter, behind which the
cook prepared the shrimp, vege-

Just at the right moment, when
the shrimp were golden brown, they
would lift them out Of the boiling
fat and hold them for us to eat.
In between shrimp the geishas
would serve us more sake out of
tiny cups which whistled as you
drank from them.
After the shrimp, we moved to q
beautifully polished low dining table
and were served everything that the
Japanese raise, catch, or shoot. And
more sake.
After dinner, while we lolled on
cushions, the geishas, all Of them

floor show. They played, sang and
danced and came close to being as
