cial Psi plane safely today after

clocked by H. Dudley Wright. repre-
sentative of the National Aeronautic

Draft Of 1S-Year-0Id.
Out, Gurney Presses
For Volunteer Plan
Will Offer Amendment
When Senote Begins
Debate This Week
By Robert K. Walsh

Disclosing that the Senate
Armed Services Committee now
opposes a draft of 18-year-old
youths, Chairman Gurney an
nounced last night he would
move to amend a pending selec-
tive service bill by permitting
recruitment of such youths solely
on a voluntary basis.
A poll of the committee, he said
convinced him it was the con
sensus that youths of 18 should not
be drafted" AS reported out by
the committee two weeks ago, the
measure provided for drafting OF
approximately 10000 men le
through 25 for two years service
and the calling of 16l 900 1S-year-
olds for one year of training.
When the bill comes up for Sen
ate floor debate, probably Wednes-
day or Thursday. Senator Gurney
said he will introduce an amend
ment striking out all compulsory
sections relating to 18-year-olds.
The amendment will permit them
to Join up for IL months training
in the regular forces and then to
serve for four years in the National
Guard or other reserve unit, he ex-
planned.
Registration Required.
The measure still would require
registration of men 18 through 25,
with those 10 through Is subject to
induction for two years service.
Senator Gurney said he would ask
that the Senate take it up by mid
week. He added he was confident
this would be done despite prob
ability of long debate on bill for
admittance Of 100000 European dis
placed persons.
While the abandonment Of earlier
plans for drafting 18-year -olds ap-
parently met objections OF Senators
Taft, Republican, of Ohio; BYRD
Democrat, of Virginia, and others
The draft bill will encounter a deter
mined effort by some Southern Sen
ators on the racial segregation issue
Senator Russell, Democrat, OF
Georgia, has filed an amendment
whereby any drafted or enlisted mar
shall have the right to ask service
in a unit of his own race.
Predicting that this move will
lose on the floor, as it did in the
Armed Services Committee two
weeks ago, a committee member sale
he agreed with a statement of Sen
ator Ball. Republican, of Minnesota
that the Russell amendment not
onlv will consume time but is part
of a tactic" in a fight against civil
rights legislation.
Draft Debate Delayed.
House debate on a draft bill re.
ported out May by the House
Armed Services Committee is un.
likely before the first week in June
a committee spokesman said yes
terday.
Chairman Allen of the Rules Com
mittee said earlier that public
hearings which started last week vii
be resumed Tuesday. He indicated
that about six more witnesses will be
heard, all in opposition to the bill
for registration of men l8 through
30. with possible induction of those
l9 through Is. These hearings are
likely to continue for the remainder
of this week. he said.
Although Mr.. Allen and severa
other Rules Committee member!
have shown pronounced opposition
to reviving selective service, an in
formal poll indicated the committee
probably would clear the bill fol
House consideration. The committee

Accomplishment
OF Negroes Causes
Khan Parade
In Virginia

SUFFOLK, Va. amp $50
Aroused by the growing demands
for equality by Negroes here, the
Ku Klux Khan stirred up its venom
once more last week. AS close to loo
hooded persons paraded near here
and burned a Is foot cross at mid
night.
Gov. William NJ. Tuck telegraph
ed Col. C. w. Woodson, superinten-
dent of the Virginia state police, to
investigate the cross burning to see
whether any laws had been broken.
1.-THE activities of the Khan or
ganiation are offensive to the SEN
sibilities of the law-abiding citizens
of Virginia." he said. I'VE will not
allow any of our people of any race
to be subjected to terrorists or in
timidation in any form by the Khan
or any other organization whose
main strength and force is based
on terror"
Khan activity is believed to be
stirring in this vicinity because of
the prominent civic activity of Ne
groes in this area during the past
year.
Among the Negro accomplishments
are the election OF oliver w. Hill to
the Richmond City council. the cleo.
ton of William A. Lawrence to the
board of supervisors of Nansemond
county. the naming of a Negro dep
uty sheriff in Nansemond county
and the appointment Of DIR. S. H.
Penn as a member of the school
board in Roanoke.
1t is believed that the Khan has
also objected to the efforts of the
NAACP in securing equal school ia
cilities for Virginia children of both
races.

Delay in Do,Uns,Uir,g

''In my opinion" Tommy Armour
has told me several times, "the
delay in the downswing is the most
single important feature in golf.
This was a big factor in Vardon's
swing, the finest swinger I ever
saw play. 1t was big feature In
Bobby Jones' swing in his later
campaigns, mean after 1922. Ha-
gen was never in a hurry. He was
a magnificent timer.
II wonder how many golfers know
they start their downswing before
they finish their backswing? They
simply can't wait to hit the ball.
They get about two-thirds back and
then the downswing starts.
II would say this is the biggest
common weakness in golf. The
main idea is not to hurry anything.
You can loaf on your backswing -
you can loaf on your downswing.
Not too much, but enough to keep
everything smooth. Don't ever rush
that downswing. That even goes
for chip Shots"
