Still Don't Know IfChest Is Full

Although drive proceeds had not been counted by pressti1ne, Les Ray, chairman of this years Community Chest drive, estimat- ed that at least $1 800 had been received at an early hour Satur- day afternoon. At that time, only a very few of the appointed soli- citors had turned Chest drive proceeds to Clayton Esslinger, treasurer.
 Although the drive officially closed on Saturday, a few late payments still were coming in early this week. One or two re- turns were slowed to await a late November paycheck.
 School interest in the drive was expressed last week, when the seventh grade art students of Charles Dillon contributed pos ters to be used in advertising the drive. Variety Vogues also donat- ed an entire window, complete with mechanical sign, to furth- ering the Community Chest eff fort.

Senote-Approved Bill Drafts
1925 Aqe Groups for 2 Years

The draft bill sent by the Senate
to the House is far call from
the measure on which the Senate
Armed Services Committee opened
hearings March II.
It is much closer, however, to
the House Armed Services Com
mittee's bill that has been marking
time for more than a month In the
Rules Committee.
The Senate-approved bin would
draft men 10 through rs for two
years service and allow 18-year-
old youths to volunteer for year
Of training in the regular forces.
Men Is through IS and doctors
and dentists through As would have
to register. Oficials estimate that
about 250,000 would have to be
drafted.
Members of the National Guard
and Organized Reserves, including
the Public Health Service Reserve,
would be exempt If they belong to
such components when the bill be-
came law.
Most veterans would be exempt
from induction but not from regis
tration. Veterans declared eligible
for exemption are those who served
in the armed forces 80 days or
more between December Z, 1941, and
vi day, September 2, 1945. Those
who served more than Is months
since 1910 also would be exempt.
The draft law would remain on
the books two years unless con-
tinued by Congress. It would be-
come effective as soon as approved
by Senate and House and signed by
the President. About so days might

they would be eligible for American
citizenship.
An anti-pou tax provision applied
to draftees and enlistees.
An overhauling Of the Army and
Air Force court-martial system.
The Senate rejected amendments
that would have:
Prohibited racial segregation and
discrimination in the armed forces,
and enacted many Of the recon-
mendations Of the Presidents Civil
Rights Commission.
Required assignment Of draftees
and enlistees to units of their own
race II they so requested.
Levied 100 per cent tax on
profits of companies and individuals
given procurement orders by the
armed forces.
Restored UNIT to the bill.
Barred Federal officials from 'in-
terfering" with State regulations re-
garding enlistment qualifications
and racial composition Of National
Guards.
Eliminated the provision author
izing the President and Defense
Secretary to require companies to
accept procurement orders and to
seize plants in event Of failure or
delay in supplying materials.
Prevented inductions until the
President decided that q draft was
necessary to obtain adequate man
power.
Created q three-member civilian
commission to handle problems OF

After completing two years Of
service, draftees would go into

the Federal Government.
Inductees could take part In elec-
tions by casting absentee ballots.
The bill was introduced by Chair
man Gurney Of the Armed Services
Committee, largely on the basis of
recommendations Of national de-
tense ofiicials. This followed Presi-
dent Trumans March II speech
urging Congress to revive selective
service and set up universal mill
tary training program.
The draft was designed to bring
the Regular forces up to authorized
strength, particularly in the Army,
where the voluntary enlistments
were reported to have failed to pro-
vide sufficient manpower.
The committee later dropped
UNIT. This was a program for
building up an organized reserve
pool" by training about 850,000 18-
year-old boys annually in special
camps. The registration bracket
originally was 18 through As. This
was lowered to Is through 30 and
finally 10 through Is.
When the bill reached the Senate
floor, Chairman Gurney sponsored
an amendment, which was ap-
proved, to eliminate all provisions
for compulsory training Of 18-year-
olds. The amendment permitted
voluntary one-year enlistments of
youths Of that age, with a view to
obtaining about $4,000.
During week-long debate,
marked by three night sessions, the
Senate adopted the following major
amendments:
Limiting the life of the law to
the two years instead Of five.

Army Stocks on Hand
To Equip 81 Divisions
On Unbalanced Basis

The Army has nearly enough
World War II stocks on hand to
equip the additional six and half
divisions it has asked Congress to
authorize, but spokesman said
today the equipment would be "out
of balance"
by being unbalanced we mean,
for instance, that we have sufficient
artillery but no prime movers to pull
that artillery" he said. Similarly,
we have plenty Of antiaircraft guns,
but no modern fire-control equip
ment; we have weapons of great
chronological advances and design,
but no ammunition for use of this
equipment in either training or in
combat. Examples Of this type Of
unbalance are manifold and these
are but a few pertinent examples"
Rapid ,Demobilization q Factor.
The causes of this lack of balance
are many and varied, he said. He
cited the too rapid demobilization
of the Army, which prevented proper
redistribution of worthwhile Army
stocks; lack Of money for procure
ment since the war, and the forced
declarations of surplus to aid the
civilian economy"
The Army official also said certain
types of equipment would have to
be bought before the additional
troops could be fully equipped. The
House appropriations measure would
provede s700,o0o,0o0 for this pur-
pose.
New Orders Forecast.
Gen. Bradley, Chief of Staff, told
the American Ordnance Association
in Detroit that, for the first time
since the war. the Army may be in
the market for quantities Of new
equipment during the coming fiscal
year.
Some of the leftover World War
II equipment would have to be re-
habilitated, and the Army admitted
that a great deal of it had not
received proper care while in stor-
age.
The Army had about $31 900, ,000,-
900 worth Of equipment on hand at
the end of the war.
