preparation is in the hands of
Marx Leva, Assistant Secretary of
Defense, and Felix Larkin, gen.
eral counsel.
However, it was indicated that
no final draft of the proposed

Two groups yesterday conferred
with Defense officials in support
of the legislation. They we're a
committee of the Association of
American Colleges, headed by
Gordon Gray. former Secretary of
the Army, and a group represent
ing the Committee on Present
Danger.
The proposed bill, it was indi-
Gated, will be offered as a substi-
|tute for the Tydings- Malone bill,
on which some hearings had al
ready been held by the Senate
Committee on Armed Services.
This measure will die with the
present Congress.
The proposed legislation will

require that trainee elect to

Mrs. C. H. Barney gave a
resume of the life of Saint Valen-
tine, a high priest who lived CEN
turtles ago in Rome. At the time
of the Roman wars, the emperor
Cladius decreed that no more mar
rjages were to be performed-this
as a punishment to the young men
in love who were reluctant to leave
their sweethearts and go into bat
tie. Saint Valentine was sorry for
the young couples and secretly
married many who came to his
hidden altar. He was executed for
his disobedience, but his memory is
kept alive by the exchange of VAL
entines each Feb. Ia. Approx
mately 800 million Valentines are
sold and exchanged in a year.
Mrs. Burdett also read "Life's
Indian Summer" a radio sermon
by Clinton C. Cox, M. A, D. D., Of
Drexel Park Presbyterian church,
Chicago. Some passages were:
"Here is the major problem Of
all life: to live long and yet not
