Time out, please, for a brief re-
hash of subject already covered

When Congress wrote the draft

or exemption status.
can sympathize with you mothers
whose sons spent two and three
years delivering the goods through
mines and bombs. I can sympa-
thize, but I can't do anything
about 1t.
Your sons are still liable for draft
service. They are definitely not
veterans (for the purpose of the
draft, no matter how much mer-
chant marine service they may have
put in. There can be no change
until Congress comes back In jan
uary-which is not to say there
ever will be change, because there
probably will not.
A card signed "The Mother" and
mailed from Pittsburgh. Pa, asks
what happens to two nonveteran
boys, both college seniors, one OF
whom is in the ROTC (Reserve
Oficer Training Corps and the
other of whom is not.
The one who is in ROTC probably
will be called to active duty shortly
after he is graduated and receives
his reserve commission. He'll be
liable for 81 months service as an
officer.
The other probably will be drafted
for 81 months shortly after gradua-
ton. provided he is then less than
26 years old and is not deferable for
any reason.

Bv Ruth Dean

The presence Of Indian troops in
Hyderabad does not constitute IAN
invasion" according to a statement
made yesterday by Indian Ambas-
sador Sir Bengal Rama Rau.
Speaking at a tea given by the
American Newspaper Women's Club
at which he and his wife and daugh-
ter were honor guests, the AInbas-
sador explained the action taken
last Monday by the Indian govern
ment was "a last resort at main-
tanning law and order after many
months OF border raids by Hydera-
bad forces"
"Once law and order are re-
stored" the diplomat predicted, "tf1e
armies will be removed and a pleb-
tscite held" He asserted that
though Sc per cent of the popula
. ton Is Hindu, q Moslem minority
holds control of the Indian state
and is imposing a sort of Fascist
government on the people.
The Ambassador charged the bor-
der raids were made by the Raz-
, akars, "a semimilitary organization
fanatical in outlook" which he hk-
ened to Hitler's storm troops. 1.-The
, record of the atrocities they have
committed in raids on Hyderabad
villages fills five typewriter pages,
he declared.
. Sir Bengal further charged
the continued existence OF this or
ganization is a violation of an
agreement between the Indian gov
ernment and the Moslem Nizam
wealthy ruler of the state, which
called for its disbandment. They
are now increased in numbers and
are fully equipped with arms smug-
gled in from Europe and South
America" he added, pointing out
that arms smuggling is also in viola
ton of the agreement.
The Ambassador expressed his
views of the Hyderabad situation in
answer to the queries of guests at
tending the tea.
Two Of the most interested listen
ers to the Ambassadors remarks
were, Of course, his attractive and
charming wife, Lady Rama Rau,
and their daughter, Miss Santha

colorful costumes of China. India
and the Philippines. But, for the
most part, the so foreign YWCA

surprised to find every one wearing
such long skirts. Although the
fashion was launched in her native
country, it is not so widespread
there, possibly because of the diff
Guilty of obtaining materials, she
speculated.
The most enthusiastic comments
came from Miss Doris Wilson, an
Indian delegate, who was wearing
a lovely sari of blue trimmed with
gold.
She described her interest ir
American fashions throughout hel

seen the new look sweep over men,
