lBy The Associated Press,


 Harry s. Truman and Thom..s Edmund Dewey came to the fork in the Presidential trail today.
 Tomorrow the people will beckon one of them on
 The Democrat who holds the White House lease and the Repub- lican who holds nigh hope of breaking it planned only the GUS tomary get out and vote appeals for tonight's windup to long and exhausting campaign.
 Upwards of 5o000.000 citizens are expected to- visit the polls. They will decide. among other things. which party will control the next Congress and especially the Sen ate
 Second Try For Dewey
 For Dewey it Is second try and the first time the Republican Party has left its banner in the hands of defeated candidate. The New York Governor lost 3,596 900 popular vote decision to "the champ" in 1914. But Franklin De- lano Roosevelt's fourth term vic- tory in the electoral college was a whopping 432 to 99.
 For Truman it is an uphill race to win in his own right the man < tie that fell upon him--as he put 1t with the whole weight of the moon and stars and all the planets when Roosevelt died April l2. I945 From the heights of popularity in the months that followed. Tru- man had to put down rebellion in his own party last summer. He was not completely successful.
 Poll Takers Disputed
 But the President stoutly disputes the poll takers who show Dewey far in the lead. Even without the votes he will lose in the south to States Right Democrat J. Strom Thurmond and elswhere the Pro- gressive Party candidate Henry Wallace, Truman insisted in his campaign windup that he is going to win.
 ''The north. the south, the east and the west are falling into line he declared at St. Louis Saturday night.
 For his part, Dewey too was con- fident. He spoke of the eve of victory as he closed out his cam paign in New Yorks Madison Square Garden--the city where he rose to fame as racket-b busting district attorney.
 Candidate At Home
 Dewey then went to his Pawling. N. Y, farm to rest until he re- turns to New York late today to vote and await the outcome.
 Truman went on home to Inde- pendence, Mo. He will cast his ballot and follow the returns there. but only until an early bedtime
 While the Presidency is the big issue tomorrow, the Senate battle commands nearly as much atten- tion
 The Republicans, who smashed IA years Of Democratic rule of Con- gress in the l946 ofl-year elections. now hold the upper hand in the , Senate by only 5l to 45 margin. Thirty-two seats are at stake. And in II pivotal states the races are so close that politicians do not rule out the possibility of an un- precedented 43 to 48 tie.

 Sometimes a seasoned political observer tends to size up an elec- tion the same way couple oi doctors discuss an important surel- cal operation.

Questions On Draft
Are Ans cred
continue from nrst paEe,

studying for the ministry, and
objectors.
Ways To Avoid Draft
Q.-HoW can eligible men avoid /
being drafted? A.-Men nineteen /
through twenty-five may do so by |
joining the National Guard or other
active drilling reserves of the arm
ed forces before the President |
signs the bill. For youths of eigh-
teen, a one-year enlistment, to be
followed by six years with organ
lied reserve units, or the National
Guard, is required.
Q.-Who can be deferred? A
High school students-until they
are graduated, quit school or be-
come twenty. College students are
deferred for one year if enrolled on
or before the date the President
signs the bill. The President also
may defer at his discretion (a)
men with dependents, (b) men es-
sential in agriculture, industry,
government and research, (c) sci
entifc and medical students. Stu
dents who have completed their
freshmen and sophomore reserve
courses and officer training corps
in their junior or senior r. o. T. c.
training are deferred so long as
thew continue in those courses. If
/ thev graduate and receive their
commissions as reserve officers,
they will then be subject to pOss-
ible call.
Call Likely By Age Groups
Q.-Who will be called first? A
This has not yet been decided, but
the lottery system probably will
/ not be used. Drafting by age
groups, starting with twenty-one-
year-oIds, is a probability.
Q.-What about training? A
The Army has stopped disposing of
it's wartime training camps and is
examining their Instability. Draf-
tees may also train with regular
Army divisions now located at
Forts Ords, Calf; Campbell, Ky;
i Hood, Texas; Dix, N. j.; Jackson
4 S. C. Some draftees may go over
seas as soon as they finish basic
training.
O.-What veteran benefits will
be available? A.-Regular peace
time benefits, including hOsiptali-
cation, disability compensation ant
death pensions.
Q.-What is the purpose of the
draft? A.-To help enable the Uni
: ted states to carry out its occupa
l tion mission overseas, and to main
$ tain an adequate home defense.

Of holding firmly against any In

creases to the consumer"
1t was reported here that sources
close to the Socony-Vacuum Co

few days that there would. be nc
increases in the price of crude oil
The Phillips announcement caused
surprise last night at the convention

Tex.
Confer Hurriedly.
The delegates dropped convention
business and occupied themselves
with hurried conferences and tele-
phone calls. The concensus was that
the increase will become industry
wide in the areas affected by the
announcement.
MIR. Adams said "off-shore waters,
deeper horizons and remote loca-
tions" offer the most promising
areas for future crude oil discoveries
in this country.
He said the industry must obtain
a price more nearly adequate to
furnish the funds required to cover
presently inflated costs of locating,
drilling and producing additional
