House Version Of Bill
For Drafting Doctors
Likely 10 Pass Today
BY The Asseciofed Press

Legislation to permit the draft
of male doctors, dentists and Other
specialists came up for virtually
certain House passage today. A
companion measure was unan-
inously approved by the Senate
yesterday.
The two proposals differ in q
few particulars.
The Senate bill would draft doc
tors through IS and dentists
through Is years of age. The
House bill sets the top age fol-
both at As.
Both bills exempt from the
draft those who are in the Re-
serves. The Senate bill says they
must have been Reservists on Au-
gust 16, 1850. The House Armed
Services Committee struck out the
date, in effect giving those sub
ject to draft a 1ast-minute chance
to enroll In the Reserves.
The House bill would not give
the additional 500 monthly bonus
which the Senate bill continues
for doctors and dentists who vol
unteer.
This bonus. in addition to regu-
lar pay, was voted by Congress
about two years ago.
The objective Of both bills is to
put into uniform first off some
10 900 men who received wartime
medical training at Government
expense, who saw little or no mill
tary service and who are not now
reservists.
Both bills set up an order OF
four priorities under which the
draftees would be called up.
First would be the former Gov
ernment- financed students who
had less than 80 days service;
second. those with more than 90
days but less than Il months;
third, those who did not study
under the Government wartime
program, but who have never
served In the armed forces;
fourth, those with the least mil
itary service.
The term allied specialists" In
the House bill is spelled out to in
lclude osteopaths. optometrists. vet
erinarians, bacterioligists. dieti-
clans, chemists and others in
similar fields.
A Senate House conference
committee yesterday ironed out
differences in the bill to start
monthly family assistance checks
moving to the dependents Of all
enlisted men. ..-.
The same group agreed upon
a $3.50 million program of Fed
eral aid in constructing armories
and similar installations for
training the National Guard and
other reserve units.
Quick Senate and House ap-
proval Of both is expected.

| Senate May Call Up
Nomination Of Smith
For Judgeship Today

The nomination Of Emory B.
Smith, Washington Negro lawyer.
to be a Municipal Court judge
here was to be called up for SEN
ate action today. with a likeli-
hood of some opposition.
President Truman's appoint
ment of the 63-year-old attorney
to an additional judgeshir on the
Municipal Court bench won Sen
ate District Committee approval
late yesterday. But Of the seven
Senators present, one voted
against Mr.. Smith and another
did not vote.
Senator Johnston. Democrat, Of
South Carolina, disclosed, after
the 45-minute closed session, that
he opposed the nomination. He
said he did not believe Mr.. Smith
was qualified for the position. He
also said he felt the appointee is
"too old" to assume a 1O-year
term as judge. He indicated he
would repeat his objections on
the Senate floor.
Senator Leahy, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, announced he would
call up the nomination, if possible,
today. He reported the commit
tee action to the Senate i'm
mediately after the committee
vote and thus saved the nomina-
ton from being held over at least
another day, he explained.
Senator Hendrickson, Republi-
can. OF New Jersey, voted pres
ent" in the committee session. He
gave no reason for his unwilling
ness to vote otherwise. -"
Besides Committee Chairman
Nicely and Senator Leahy. others
at the meeting who reportedly
voted for approval were Senator's
Pepper. of Florida, and Kefauyer,
OF Tennessee, Democrats, and
Margaret Chase Smith. Republi-
can, of Maine.
Committee action on the nomi-
nation had been delayed because
OF a protest made at a hearing
last Friday. Mrs. Grace Tillman.
widow of a former client of
Judge Smith, submitted docu-
ments which. according to her at
torney, Naomi Wheeler, showed
that the Court Of Appeals had
overruled the District Court IN an
action involving motion by Mr..
Smith as attorney.
Mr.. Smith. who lives at 1707
Second street NV, has been a
member Of the bar for 80 years.

The vote last night changing

lenged by the anti-Iler forces to-
day on the ground that a rule.
change requires a two-thirds vote

are threatening to get an injunc-
tior to bar the election today.
NOTWITHSTANDING recon-
mendation to be placed before
the convention is that for the tax
exemption of Federal civil service
retirement annuities.
The committee feels this will
greatly aid Federal annuitants
whose 9resent annuities are fa1
from adequate to meet current liv-
ing COSTS"
The legislative committee also
recommended to the convention
that 1t go on record favoring the
issuance of uniforms at Govern
ment expense to Federal workers
whose duties require them to wear
uniforms.
MULTIPLE TAXES-The COM
mittee also recommended the
elimination of multiple State in
come tax levies on Government
employees.
This would affect Federal EN-
ployes working in nearby Mary
land but living in the District or
Virginia. who now have to pay a
Maryland State income tax.
Another resolution approved by
the committee asks for the estab-
liShment of one set Of personnel
rules for the entire Government

LEAVE-The convention also
was urged by the committee to
take a strong stand against any
cut in Federal employees present
annual and sick leave privileges.
And the legislative group also
recommended that thousands of
Federal workers. who might not
be able to take their annual leave
because of the war emergency, be
paid cash for excess leave not
used at the end of the year.

DISABLED WORKERS - The
convention heard an address by
William McCauley. director of the
Bureau of Employees Compensa-
ton, who disclosed his agency is
working on a program to give re
employment priority" to Govern
ment workers disabled on the job.
MIR. McCauley said a new unit
of vocational and rehabilitation
experts will be set up in various
Federal agencies to help these dis
abled workers get jobs they can
perform.
Many Federal employees who are
injured on the job or are disabled
in some way now are not given
the chance Tn find nther Govery,-
ment positions they could handle,
Mr.. McCauley declared.
He said private industry in
many instances transfers dis
abled workers to less strenuous
jobs. He said he believes the
Government should follow this
example in dealing with its own
employees.

The AFGE also asked for double
time for any work performed on
Sundays and holidays.
At present, Federal employees
earning up to $4,000 a year gel
me-and-a-half overtime for time
worked over 40 hours a week
Higher paid employees do not re-
ceive time-and-a-half overtime
but are paid lesser rates for
extra work over 40 hours.
In another action, the conven-
tion's legislative committee recon-
mended to the delegates that the
AFGE seek a fiat pay raise for
Federal employees. This follows
the recommendation made Mon
day by Henry Her, AFGE presi-
dent. The convention will adopt
the recommendation today.
The resolution concerning pay
does not set any specific amount
but leaves it to AFGE officials to
determine the amount to be sought
in January. when the new Con-
gress convenes. The amount will
depend on what the cost-of living
index is at that time.
The legislative committee side
stepped the issue of modification
of veterans preference in Govern
ment employment.
Committee spokesmen said the
unions membership is about
evenly divided between veterans
and non-veterans and that the
AFGE consequently does not want
to start a fight that might wreck
the union with dissension.
Instead, the committee is draft
ing a resolution that calls for the
Civil Service Commission to set
up a strong transfer and job
placement program to aid dis
placed career employees who lose
their jobs as a result Of economy
programs.
The commission will be urged
to give these career workers top
priority rehiring rights, either to
their old agencies or to other
agencies where job openings occur

ton, at a shouting, tumultuous

of strength in favor of the forces

dent. The vote was 26.060 to

unions convention rules say the
election must be held on the last
