Special Draft Classification.
The committee urged that a
special draft classification of Glass
II-A be set up for the student de-
ferments. Specifically, to get in
that class student or prospective
student must:
l. Get a general aptitude test
score equivalent or above a score
of 120 on the Army general CLASH
flcation test.
(The committee did not
specify If this test is similar to
the armed forces qualification
test for induction. On that test,
however, the Army requires
score of 10 for draft induction
and 80 for volunteers.)
2. Be certified by school au-
thorities as giving promise OF
definite progress in higher educa-
ton"
Applies to High School Students.
If the draft registrant is a
high school student, his record
must be acceptable for admission
to an accredited college. For
those in college, the committee
recommended:
l. The full time first year stu
dent must be enrolled in courses
which lead to a degree after four
years.
2. The full time second year
student must have been scholas-
tically in the upper half of his
first year class.
3. The full time third year stu
dent must have been in the upper
one-third of his second year.
4. The full-time fourth-year
student must have been in the
upper one-fourth OF his third
year class.
S. The graduate student must
have maintained scholastic rec
ord in the upper half of his last
undergraduate class.
For men who have finished "sci-
entific, specialized or professional
training, the committee said the

four months. After that. they

DR.. Seckinger would be a deputy

Gen. Young's plan. The engineer
commissioner said there probably
should be an advisory committee

ing of representatives of Metro

Separate Group.
This group would be separate
from the citizens advisory COM
mittee for civil defense as a whole,
which probably will be organized
to operate at the level of the
civil defense director and the
Commissioners.
AS basis for discussion of the
general pattern of territorial set
up of the medical care services,
Gen. Young drew this picture of
the Ideal situation" at the in
slant Of and following an attack:
Various emergency casualty sta
tions, designated and equipped in
advance, would be scattered over
the city. People would have been
designated and trained to serve
them, including personnel to oper-
ate the stations themselves, first
aid squads to go into wrecked
areas with the rescue teams, and
litter bearers.
These personnel might, at the
moment of attack, be either pres
ent at their posts as a result of
the alert, or under cover some
where else with instructions to
report to their posts when the "all
clear" sounded.
Buildings for disqualification,
would have been designated in ad-
vance, presumably including all
existing hospitals as well as tenn
porary hospitals. Their personnel
also would be ready.
Would Get Transportation.
The medical care services would
know where to get transportation
following an attack for:
Moving personnel and materiel
to the proper places when neces-
Sary.
Moving casualties back to emer-
gency casualty stations. This
would be largely by litter bearers.
Evacuating casualties from the
emergency casualty stations to
hospitals.
Messenger service.
Gen. Young pointed out it would
be unwise to lay out rigid plans
for areas of command, since
bomb could fall anywhere. The
physical and human agencies must
be scattered so that no matter
where a bomb would fall, areas
or sectors could be irnprovised and
designated Immediately afterward
he said.
The civil defense organization
should be equipped with monitor
ing devices, and teams trained in
their use. against the possibility
of dangerous contamination from
radioactivity.
Gen. Young also called for sug-
gestions for dealing with the med.
ical aspects Of Metropolitan Area
cooperation in civil defense. The
District Commissioners have called
an area conference for October II.

among our young people can be attributed to parental
neglect. 1t is idle for parents to offer the excuse that times
have changed, that we are now living in an age when par
entail control cannot be exercised as in bygone years, be-
cause next to duty to God, the obligation of parents is to
their children. --~t =
Infantie Paralysis of the Soul is SO prevalent in this
nation today because parents are not e%quipping their chill
dren with the one groundwork upon which character is
built-A KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. Among other things,
they are not sending their children to Sunday school regu-
larly.
Just as good crops cannot grow in a garden choked
with weds, a nation cannot survive unless it provides spiri-
tual education and development for it's children. American
parents must recognize the important part that religion
should play in the development of their children. Other
wise our civilization is doomed.
The Laymen's National Committee, an organization of
public spirited citizens of all faiths, sponsors National Sum
day School Week each Spring. 1t has been responsible for
reawakening millions of parents to their duty. Fifth An
nual Sunday School Week is to be observed this year from
April 10th-16th.
The Laymen's National Committee deserves the back
ing of every American mother and father. They can do
this by sending their children to Sunday School on Sun
day, April l6th-and on every Sunday thereafter. Thus
they can discharge a major obligation to the children they
brought into the world-and thus they can protect their
children against the ravages of that most awful disease

The moment the Federal Gov
eminent gets into the business
Of making direct loans, it be-
comes involved in political con-
siderations. Loans are made
which should not be made.
The provision which the Senate
turned down undertook to provide
3 per cent money for co-opera-
tives, although any one of the
members of the co-operatives who
borrowed directly would have to
pay Az per cent. The co-opera-
tives were also to be granted an
extraordinarily long term beyond
that considered sound for private
lending.
IN TWO respects the bill passed
L by the Senate does not permit
direct Government lending. It
authorizes Az per cent Govern
ment loans to veterans in areas
where they cannot get private
loans, and it permits 21a per cent
loans to educational institutions
for the construction of housing on
campuses. I would have preferred
to leave out both of these provi-
sions, as a matter of principle.
However, the loans to veterans is
a kind of standby provision and
is intended to be used only when
there is no money available di-
rectly from banks. 1t may be said
that we have some obligation
under the principles of the CT Bill
of Rights to see that loans are
made available to veterans if the
banks don't provide them.
On the whole, I should say
that we ought to keep away
from any authority to make di-
rect Government loans in the
housing field.

general form of cooperative Or
ganization; and, if a number of
people desire to save themselves
money by buying real estate, car

employing one architect and engi-
neer for the project, l believe they
should be encouraged. / voted,
therefore, in favor Of the substi-
tute measure offered by Senators
Ives and Tobey. This would mere
ly have provided FILA insurance
for loans to co-operatives espe-
cially adjusted to the needs OF
such co-operatives, but requiring
that they pay the going rate of in,
terest for private capital. This
amendment was defeated, but it is
still quite possible for the co.
operatives to obtain insurance
loans under the FILA law.

Dear EuIuT.
l was seuin out on the rail fence tother evenin talkin with a
naybor from up the HoLer. Somehow our talkin got all mixed
up with the Happenings of long ago. ~|
Me and him both related the same incident. You see, we was
boys together and our paws never did have any too much money.
We just sort of run wild like till late in the fall of the year in
our bare feet, and some times the frost and swno would ketdh us.
Now our cows had the meanest habit of spending the nights
way up on the furtherest knob of these here hills where they
slept On frosty mornins by the time we reached that knob to-
get the cows, our bare feet was almost froze to the bone. The
spot where the cows had laid all night was as warm as corn bread,
so we jumped from spot to spot until our feet was thawed out
again.
said to Jake, you know those warm spots kind of reminds
me of the circle we draw about us that shuts out the disturbin
things of life here in the Holler SO that the light what comes
from above can warm our souls

POLIO OF HI SOUL

The very sound of the word polio" brings a shudder
of fear to every American parent-because that dread di-
sease, which comes like a bolt out of the blue to paralyze
innocent and defenSeless children, has so far baffled all
the research, knowledge and skill of the medical fraternity.
Medical science has made great progress in learning how
to treat and alleviate the suffering of those attacked by this
physical enemy, but SO far has been unable to determine
its causes so that barriers can be erected to forestall it's
invasion of American homes.
But horrible as are the ravages of Infantile Paralysis;
agonizing as it is for parents to be forced to stand by help
lessly, powerless to do anything to prevent their children
from being stricken and perhaps manned for life by this
terrible physical disease; there is an infinitely more appal-
ling disease threatening their offspring. That menace is
PARALYSIS OF H SOUL.
But, unfortunately, unlike physical Infantile Paralysis,
parents have at hand the means of protecting their children
against the ravages of Infantile Paralysis of the Soul, be-
cause it's causes are known and protective measures against
it are simple and easy of execution.
This Infantie Paralysis of the Soul is running rampant
throughout the nation. We have the testimony of j.. Edgar

ever, the increase of authorization
here only applies to applications
filed before February |, 1850. Here
after, contractors will have to use
Section 207, which does not give
them quite as large loans, SO that
they will have to put up some
capital of their own. A new Sec
ton also makes insurance some
what more liberal for large-scale
rental housing projects.
The Senate voted down by 43
to 38 the Administrations pro-
posal to provide Government
money direct to c0-Operatives.
This proposal would have cre-
ated a great Government corpO-
ration drawing its capital from
the Treasury and authorized to
make direct loans to co-Opera-
tive associations. 1t has been
represented that because this
provision was beaten, the Sen
ate turned down aid to middle
income families, but, of course,
that is not the fact. The bill still
provides at least 2% million adj
ditionaI dollars of insurance for
such families, and it is still a
middle income housing measure.
WHAT the Senate has done is
w to reject direct Government
loans to co-operatives. l believe
that direct Government lending has
become just about as dangerous as
Government spending and that il
certainly should not be extended,
The experience of the RFC with
the Kaiser loans, the Tucker loan
and the Lustron loan is a good
argument for cutting down the
authority which already exists.
There is plenty of private cap
ital available for loans today on
fair terms, and there seems to
be no reason why co-Operatives,
like other persons, should not
pay the going rate of interest.

COTTON AND

The House has adopted a COM
ference report submitted by the
committee on agriculture which,
in my opinion, was unwise and
will eventually cost the govern
ment a great sum of money. Cot
ton farmers have operated under
legislation which determines the
number of acres that may be
planted each year and allots to
each farmer the number of acres
he may plant. The cotton farmers
themselves are responsible for
this kind of legislation. In 1949
they were allotted a total of
tWenty-one million acres. This
and former allotments have pro-
vided more cotton than could be
sold through the ordinary chan
nels of trade.
In order to form the price the
government, either by purchase
or loan, already has acquired
title to more than one million
dollars worth of cotton. The pro-
posal passed by the House would
add an additional one million,
two hundred thousand acres to
the allotment for this year,
thereby adding a million and
one-half to two million bales of
cotton to what is already a great
surplus. Joining members who
represent cotton states were
those members who represent
the great wheat growing states
of the country. They are hopeful
of getting greater ALLEGATIONS of
wheat acreage later. In the same
bill, to get support from the
areas which grow great peanut
crops, one hundred thousand
acres were added to the peanut
allotment.
The net result is a greater sur-
plus and more money from Uncle
Sam. The government loans
about one hundred and fifty dol
lars on each bale of cotton, SO
this one bill will probably end
up by costing two hundred and
fifty million dollars. 1t is foolish
legislation like this that makes
it impossible for US to balance
the budget.
We tried to recommit the bill,
but were defeated by a vote of
225 to ll6. Ninety-one members
were absent when the motion to
recommit was defeated. The bill
was passed. by a division vote of
$50 to IS.
